Had to jinx it, didn't you? Two other coworkers in my office have a copy of Splatoon on their desks, and mine is waiting at home. Hopefully servers stay strong tonight!

I'm loving this game so god damn much, havn't had more fun with a shooter ever. The thing that impresses me most is really sad...it actually works like it should day 1. Sure there's content still to come but matchmaking is fast and multiplayer is flawless.
I've only been playing with the default setup as my Fiance won't let me buy anything until she gets back from work :c Proud that i'm still getting 1000+ scores per round

Ah, that explains why we got crushed.
That's what I meant when I said online in Splatoon feels like a local MP game. It's so fast the illusion just works.

5-6 hours from every review so far.
Just finished the singleplayer (took me like 6-7 hours with all scrolls) and thought it was an enjoyable ride, until the last boss.
At that point it turned into something awesome.
The whole fight was amazing, so much was going on and dat last song, hnng so good!
I don't really know why but at that point everything totally clicked with me and the credits song was like the perfect ending.
Also, I think the singleplayer made me better at the game in general.
I didn't really notice it until the last boss, but especially at the "end end", I had a couple of "damn did I really just pull that off?" moments.
So yeah, I'm really happy with the singleplayer part, especially since I didn't expect anything.

Around 7 hours is the consensus. It's fun and creative but it's an afterthought.
I really like it though, but don't buy just for that.
Believe me you'll play mp, even if you usually don't like the genre.

So this game is pretty much the best thing ever.
Or at least, it's fun as hell. I find myself playing multiplayer for a couple hours, then saying, "Oh, I'll do just a lil' bit of single-player before bedtime." Then I knock out the first world, but I still feel like playing, so I return to Inkopolis, upgrade my gear and do more multiplayer. And then I still have the itch, so I scratch it with more single-player.
Single-player feels infinitely replayable. Tearing through each level at top speed (after carefully scouring them for the Sunken Scroll the first time around) is satisfying in much the same was as a Pure Platinum run in Bayo 2. You know what the stage will throw at you, so you're able to leverage that knowledge along with your mastery of mechanics to deftly outmaneuver each enemy and platform your way to the end.
The "game feel" is just perfect: the splat-a-tat-tat of the weapon, the dipping and diving, the swimming up walls and leaping over chasms. This game is so... so EAD.
I love it. <3

The Testfires probably helped big-time there. First one was pretty much flawless but I'm sure they learned a lot after the second one crashed their servers.
I noticed that TF2 seemed super-slow to me in terms of loading a match, respawn times, getting back to the action, etc after playing the Splatoon demo.
Granted, the server I was on was running 2Fort CTF, so that's not exactly the fastest mode in the game.

Everyone saying the final boss is amazing :O (still haven't finished it)
As creative and fun as the single player is, I wouldn't buy the game solely for it.
What genre is Splatoon. You shoot, but you also play hide and seek as a super fast squid. It's more an arcade game than an FPS or even TPS AFAIC.

You got to be squidding me, that's inkonceivable! But in the case that does happen, it paints me in a negative light. I better roller with it and tackle that at once then. And if it doesn't work the first time, I have another ten tackles coming.
Well it's definitely not a MOBA.
Me sorry. Connection error.

They have to make money somehow with the way the system is selling.

Splattershot Jr. seems like a really good load out.
The Amiibos doing 'something' in a bunch of games is cool. But it being the only way to unlock certain content like this and Captain Toads is irresponsible. They're selling well regardless.
You're really not missing anything, just an optional outfit than can be carried to multi otherwise it's just redoing the same missions but with another weapon.

Splatoon twitch streams out the inkzooka.
Crazy how many of them are live already.

Well that was a pretty fun and well designed final boss.
Edit: holy shit these credits. Kudos Nintendo

Full lobby and the thing is still counting down. =/
Ah, okay. I thought it was exclusive levels or something similar to Toad.
They're pretty much achievements, having you go through the same thing in a certain way and the gear is just reskinned stuff, so you're not missing much of anything. The figures are worth it by themselves, but taking an added incentive away would probably hurt their allure.
6th most viewed game on Twitch atm (~43,000). Goddamn.

Yeah and the outfits aren't even that great stats wise, I had items show up in the shop today which are the same strength, and obviously seen items on other people that are better.
I've gotta admit, the Kraken challenges are super fun though, as minor as they are.
Yea, I joined incite.

Yeah, weird. Server troubles? Now it's saying that no one is online.

Pretty sure behind you and to the right in the plaza is where you use the amiibos. There's a massive empty amiibo box there.
