Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

Really gotta hand it to Nintendo on the netcode because even after the demo, it's still absolutely amazing. No lag at all in a room with mostly Japanese players and this like Nintendo's first attempt at an online TPS.

Nintendos does online better than anyone it's kinda weird. Playing a game on the game pad while waiting for the game to start is genius.
 
The enemy also dies if they run into it.

My secind Com error :(

The ink wall is great to keep enemies out of the middle area on the rig map
 
I'm really glad this game is so fun! Picked it up along with the three pack of Amiibos earlier today and finally got to play. Got to level four in multiplayer and did the first few single player missions, which are surprisingly enjoyable. Definitely the most unique game I've played in ages.
 
So I caved and bought it today. Not 100% happy with my purchase, but not hating it either.

Love the art style, the world, the weapons, yadda yadda.

What's to hate? I think the controls are rabid dog shit. I tried with motion, without motion, up and down on sensitivity, and yeah...worst controls in a shooter ever. Anyone defending this is high. :/ I have 1/10th of my precision from say a Call of Duty or Halo compared to here.


Splatoon doesn't have auto aim like those games. Get good.
 
First few matches went smoothly but now I'm getting communication errors all the time :\

Net is working flawlessly here on my laptop so I feel like it's not my end but who knows.
 
Story mode is fun. Still missing some scrolls but beat the first 2 bosses. Also working on the squid amiibo challenges to unlock the costume. Unlocked the helmet so far.
 
Here's a nice detail I noticed:

If you clear a level more than once, you get a fake zapfish.
 
Damn, I wish the new content was coming in July instead of August. It's already feeling a bit thin in terms of content in the multiplayer. Still loving it and everything, but I don't want to wait > 2 months to get the new content.

New content is supposed to come regularly over the summer. I think they said new maps every two weeks too.

What new content are you referring to?
 
Question. Once I create a character at the beginning can I changed their gender and appearance or have a second character?

I want to know if I can have a male character and change them to a female later.

Also how are the demographics for gender so far. Is one much more represented online than the other? Thanks.
 
What's the thread title mean?

Damn, guys I wish I had Internet at my apartment. This totally sounds worth getting a Wii U for

Yeah it's an option at the main menu.
I feel like I see a lot of female inklings. If they're actually female players or not is up in the air though.
 
DirtyLarry what's your nnid?

If you're on now you should join us.


I've been looking forward to the speedruns for a long time.

You can change your gender and eye/skin color at any time without affecting your progress. Based on my playtime, I've been seeing more girl squiddies than guys, if only by a tiny, tiny margin.
 
Just finished all the amiibo challenges...now time to sell the amiibos! DRM free DLC!

I'm guessing there were more rollers on tonight? Judging from the guy saying roller is ez mode and all the rest of the weapons suck. Played all night before mostly jpn people, but most using some form of splattershot, or at least the good ones were. And people still not knowing how to use the charger. Got a lot of high scores with the standard Charger and Squiffer though.
 
I really, really like this game. The matchmaking has been flawless for me, and the "classic" gamepad game while you wait is dumb fun.

That said, I don't understand why there isn't the option to play with dual-sticks, but also have motion on the tablet still contribute to aiming. Or why you can't change any of the control options in-game.

Thanks so much. I'll go with my usually method of playing with my skin, eye color and gender and switch to the girl sometimes. That school girl outfit won't go to waste.

Thanks as well.
