Oh, neat. I wouldn't move from a level without finding the Sunken Scroll first, so I had all of them when I beat the game, and I didn't realize the octogear was tied to them.

True! Different strokes 😁
Maybe I should stop going for wins and pick something other than the Jr

The 96 gal feels so weird. I need to get used to its range and slow shooting speed.

Yeah, definitely not. There's also a part on the Singleplayer Trailer where you go through a vertical gate on a hole on a metal wall, and that's not in either. Probably didn't make the cut, though.
The scene at 1:27 and at 1:33 as well, I think.

I have only ~10 of them and I got the Octoling gear after finishing the game.
Splatoon should be able to profit from the overall weak line-up for the PS4/Xbox One. And the lack of triple AAA titles on the Wii U as well.
I think The Witcher 3, Majora's Mask 3D and Bloodborne have the potential to gather many votes. Most likely Batman and Xenoblade X will be looking good.
There are some other well received games but I think their fanbase is too small to make an impact. such as Project Cars, Cities: Skylines and Pillars of Eternity.
And if Fallout 4 releases this year I'm pretty sure that will do very well. All in all for Splatoon a perfect year to try and make some lists. Nintendo can use a strong new IP. And I love it for the fact that it's so different from most Nintendo titles.

Stuck in an endless lobby...
While I'm unsure what my GOTY will be, or whether Splatoon can top Bloodborne, I'll say there were times playing Splatoon where I thought, "Shit, THIS is my GOTY." But it's too early to say if it's the honeymoon phase. I continue to admire the ambition and execution of Bloodborne, even if I don't feel like playing it anymore. I suspect I'll continue to deepen my appreciation of Splatoon, as well. It's going to be hard picking a GOTY.
Same.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Agreed.
I feel like if I was forced to choose, my answer would fluctuate based on the gaming mood that I was currently in. Right now I'm all stoked for multiplayer gaming, but that's mainly becuase I just got done with Bloodborne and the strong contrast of Splatoon has just jelled so well... Strangely enough.
It's perfect to kill anything who is not a Jet squelcher, or another .96 gal though. And you can reach charger at a decent distance too

Haha you're welcome.
It's very much a Ranked type weapon due to it's defensive focus. That Sprinkler does wonders in covering the stuff you can't deal with.
That's true. They somehow made MGS4 GOTY, including a recount.
(I liked MGS4, and I -loved- MGO, but MGS4 as GOTY is... questionable)
All of that being said, MGSV looks solid from a gameplay standpoint.
It's a question of pacing and whether the story will hurt my brain.
Exactly.
What's a good machinegun-esque weapon for ranked? I've been loyal to the vanilla splattershost for ages now (and will continue to on turf war), but the way ranked works it's not cutting it. The bomb rush with burst bomb really isn't as good as other specials for ranked ;_;.
I've been in B- limbo forever.

I've only ran trough the first mission but I didn't find any scroll either. I usually suck at that kind of stuff.
Like 80% of them can be found by looking over the edges of platforms, where they're hidden below.

Some are pretty good hidden and hard to get if you're not careful. The best way I found was to look for out of place points while flying from point to point. (25's one took me about 10 runs through the level because I didn't pay a lot of attention).

I can't stand playing against competent players sporting the 96 Gal. It has further distancing than the Jr., and even if you outmaneuver the opponent, they usually respond enough in time to one-hit kill me right before they splat. It can even defend someone off who has the higher ground if used correctly.

It felt weird to play turf wars today. The lack of penalty for losing made the matches... less exciting? :x
We both. Couldn't find most of them so I said whatever and stopped searching.
Splattershot Jr is great, Aerospray RG (MG to a lesser extent) is one of the best in the game. N-ZAP and .96 Gal are really good too.
.96 Gal doesn't one-hit kill. Lag might make it seem like it does though.

There isn't in Turf except getting zero points, but you lose 10 rank points in ranked and they can make it or break it at times. It sucks that you can't really differentiate disconnects from leaving, though. Of the Three Losses I had today, 2 were DCs.
Re-watching the single player trailer, I can at least see 2 level which didn't make the cut, I think the place where we fight the first boss is a little different. Surprised by how much changed in only half a year

If you're actually looking for them they're almost laughably easy. Just always see if there's something behind a wall or user a platform
People getting Disconnected from matches is making me just stop playing. One match was ended up as just me vs 4, ended up having to retreat to the spawn point where they stood there waiting for me.
Theres been a couple 2v2 Matches I've done that were fun. But when it turns to 3v4 or 2v4 from people disconnecting out, it's just awful.

Splatoon will probably be my GOTY by default since I doubt I'll be playing many other new releases this year.
If I had the money to buy every game I wanted though, I doubt it.
Realistically I think it'll be a lot of people's #3 or 4 choice.
Aerospray RG has great ink spread and sub weapons. Only downside is the shitty killing power so you have to avoid direct confrontations. The mines help with that a bit.

I think it's 2 shots to kill. Might vary if they have defense up I guess.
Correcting you because you are wrong. Those are very common enemies.
IIRC if you lose because of quitters or disconnects, you get less of a rank reduction.
3 shoot? 2 shoot is for the .56 gal
Don't you get the octogear when you beat the game regardless?

Is turf wars not ranked today?
