Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

It still has unlockable perks and weapons, but man does it feel good to play a shooter where your K/D isn't tracked and made public.

More games should still this scoring system for stuff like King of the Hill, display a point total based on how much you actually contributed to the objective, and either don't show K/D or put it off to the side, and don't make kills and deaths in objective modes affect players' overall ratios.

I just came back from the IGN review thread, with everyone shitting on Splatoon and Nintendo in general. I came back here to "cleanse the palate".

Yeah it seems odd to me it's being docked so much for lack of content when they've already shown the free content coming soon. It just seems like kind of a null complaint. I get the 'review it as it is' vibe, but then do they update the review?

I'm still hoping for voice chat come the team update in August. It really would up the game to strategize with a team.
 
I feel sorry for the WAIT guys who are waiting for more content until August

people are getting skilled and tactics in a few days imagine giving us a month lol

Hehe thanks! Yeah I remember your name, you were not too sloppy yourself either! Props to Sendou too, everytime I'm in his team I feel like we're invincible.

Ggs everyone I happened to play with. Game is so much fun.

Oh and of a side-note, is anyone higher than level 10 still use the original splattershot? I feel like I'm the only one using that one still.

Should someone who bought a hammer complain it's terrible as a shovel?

This isn't a good comparison. There have been plenty of games with maps on the screen, including games in the same genre as Splatoon. In fact, the only reason people are complaining about it in the first place is because they've played games with maps on the screen and see it as beneficial. This is more like complaining that you bought a hammer and it didn't have a grip on the handle. Sure, not every hammer has a grip on the handle, and some people might prefer a hammer without a grip on the handle, but that doesn't mean that a grip on the handle is a bad idea or that it isn't a valid complaint.
 
Don't know what the hell I was smoking when I wasn't enjoying the stress test, but I'm enjoying this game now. Will add a bunch of you guys now, more fun will be had when I can have more competent teammates.

Nintendo needs to put out add moor this as it needs to be played!

Feel free to add me nighthawk142

Ha ha, bested by the power of Queen Elsa.

And no there's no off screen mode at all, which is annoying as Single-player mode doesn't even use the pad.

No PC.. :( Had to sell it a while back when I got laid off.(Working now) I bought Frozen threw PSN so yeah.

She's not even watching Frozen (2 year year old) she tunes in for the songs and to dance along. It's cute but damnit, Splatoon !

I will be on when Frozen warms and kids are dreaming.

If she doesn't watch maybe you an download the songs on your moile and let her listen from it (or found a Youtube channel with those songs).

I was getting that and another different error (the connection is unstable, proceeded by a disconnect). Had to buy a new modem, now I don't get errors anymore (but the modem is weird and randomly resets sometimes -_-)

yeah but splatoon is to a tps what pikmin is to rts games

it's basically not in the same genre and to be honest there's nothing like this game out to my knowledge
 
Whatever the gun is that has longer range than the Splattershot and has the ink wall and ink strike, love that gun. Other than that it's kraken roller all day.

Dayum this game is rad.

Again, if people think the game would be better with a map on the screen they should be able to say it without people in here essentially saying "Deal with it." Unless I missed the memo that OTs were only supposed to have positive impressions, then I don't see why people are making such a big deal that people are complaining. People complain about things they don't like in pretty much every OT I've ever seen here. Just ignore them if you don't like what they're saying.
 
Just picked it up. Looking forward to diving in this weekend.

Wasnt originally going to purchase. But this thread is making it sound real fun.

Edit : They had many threads to lash out their rage. I'm not against different opinion but some people do post some toxic comments OR totally mistook the game for what it is not.
 
after finishing the singleplayer I'm pretty much invincible against Killing Wails and Ink Strikes

favorite map so far: Saltspray Rig
least favorite: Urchin Underpass (haven't played Arowana Mall yet)

using a charger in Turf War is hard mode

That's pretty shitty. If I were you I would have complained to a mod. Unless you were straight up trolling there is no reason you should be banned for posting negative impressions.
 
Got home and played this game until I hit level 5. For everyone complaining about getting the skate park, I kept getting the warehouse haha.

This game is super fun. The only thing that stands out to me so far that's a negative is that I wish there was a few more, not many, appearance options, but maybe that will become a none issue as I get new and better clothes

Yup. Mine happened the same way! I'll probably grab a new router pretty soon.. or should i get a new modem? The modem we have was supplied by Comcast and our router is some cheap entry level linksys one.
 
I usually get 5-7 kills per game but I also get a lot of deaths too since usually every time I focus on killing one guy another I wasn't focusing on gets me, sometimes from a distance or other times from behind, any tips? Maybe not trying to kill out in the open and focusing on more in closed places?

That would be nice.

I wish they'd at least make the two maps alternate, I keep getting the same one multiple times in a row.

Don't focus on killing people, painting should always be your focus.

That said, how you go about being offensive will change based on your weapon, but in general, make sure you're squidding away if you're outnumbered or if someone got the drop on you. Don't shoot someone who's shooting you, turn into a squid and circle around them, turn a corner and see if they follow you, etc. Most of your kills should be against unaware opponents, or from flanking people. Even if you shot first it's usually better to use the movement mechanics to your advantage if someone starts hitting you.

I don't know much about modem and routers, but in my case the issue was with the modem (for some reason, the SRN was really low in the old once, which is what was causing the instability I think). Maybe it is the same problem for you? It is worth checking it out in the modem config page.
