That was fun, got some stuff to do now. Thanks gaf

 

[Dr. Buni]

I noticed that too. after the update the stage selection seems bugged. Before that a stage never appeared more than 2 times times in the row.

Nah, a stage appearing more than two times in a row happen since the release. Although it seems to have gotten worse after the patch.

 

[ViviOggi]

dual sticks have always been ass for competitive shooters how is this even an argument

but obviously you can make anything work with practice, see top tier fighting game players using regular gamepads

 

[Violet_0]

another map please ;_;

 

[Boney]

Can't get used to blasters, brb changing gear

 

[Ferrio]

another map please ;_;

Another song please ;_; I'm hearing this damn song in my sleep.

While dual sticks are worse than a mouse, the gyro controls are even worse! That's the problem

 

[Vecks]

Another song please ;_; I'm hearing this damn song in my sleep.

All the songs are stuck in my head all day.

 

[NeoRausch]

Do you see that in the upper right corner?

They showed it even before the tweet went live. Even the button combination is shown.
Neat!

 

[GustyGardens]

I'm glad we agree

How do people get the Cuttlefish armor? Is that from the squid Amiibo?

I asked that without an answer, so I know it can be frustrating when the thread goes so fast and your question gets overlooked.. Basically, it's a reward for completing the single player campaign. Upon completion, you're rewarded with the Octoling & Hero clothing, which are of the Cuttlegear brand.

 

[sntstbn]

Like I said, small motions with it in your lap, it's not designed for huge movements

Thank you. I'll get used to not swinging around like crazy.

I really like the controls most of the time.

 

[Feltrol]

Any tips on joining the GAF room?

Sweet, thank you! I was unsure since spike can't get it for you

 

[Kid Ska]

It's really nice seeing Splatoon have good sales. Hope it has good legs.
And hopefully some decent sales in the US too.

Oh wow, hadn't seen this. That's amazing! Goes to show what marketing a great concept well will do.

 

[BaronLundi]

Sorry guys, another disconnect. It looks like the game insists on me playing with randoms..

 

[EulaCapra]

Something I noticed, but are the ink colours in splat zones different from the ones in Turf war?

Yes. I've seen purple vs. turquoise exclusively. But that color combo is so horrible that the darkness of purple only makes the turquoise look like sperm.

 

[Kouriozan]

Lawl, love that map.
Mines <3

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Can't get used to blasters, brb changing gear

I'm starting to really like them. Won 9 out of 10 ranked games earlier with it. It's not as good for turf wars but it still is decent.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Dcd ;_;

 

[R.D.Blax]

... I think I should take back my stealth jump shoe in the end...

 

[Give War A Chance]

I was a huge skeptic of this game... but I went against my better judgment and bought it because I had rewards points... and holy crap, I'm glad I did. This game is fantastic!

It's a bummer it shipped with as little content as it did... it reminds me a lot of Destiny in that sense, but the content it has, I'm playing the crap out of. Never been so happy to be so wrong.

What's the update schedule for this game? New maps will keep making this game more and more fun to play...

 

[Pappasman]

Welp. I went from C+ to B, then back to C+. Fuck this game lmao...

 

[Nosgotham]

I just realized how great the point sensor is. Wow

My k/d went through the roof

 

[MrPanic]

That feeling when you successfully run away from a kraken, only to end up under a different roller. :|

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Do you see that in the upper right corner?

Yep, its amazing.
Like the punch out for nes trick using a photo flash to hit bald bull that no one discovered until takeda explained on the Punch-Out!! wii iwata asks.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

... I think I should take back my stealth jump shoe in the end...

Yeah, I'm thinking stealth jump is better in ranked. I jump far less in turf wars because there's almost always a spot to paint over that's unguarded. I jump a lot in ranked though and it's always a gamble.

 

[spekkeh]

Gyro and +2. Seems to be a popular setup.

You have to give the gyro a chance for a couple hours, once it clicks, it's impossible to go back.

Okay I guess I'll try to persevere. Maybe play the singleplayer first then.

 

[Aostia]

can't access online :-/

 

[NotLiquid]

While dual sticks are worse than a mouse, the gyro controls are even worse! That's the problem

Nah.

The minute details of aiming accuracy make gyro a godsend. Dual sticks in this game are terrible

 

[SmithnCo]

Okay I guess I'll try to persevere. Maybe play the singleplayer first then.

The SP helps, you also have to train yourself to use the stick for turning for the most part, at first I was using the gyro for making big turns and it was a mess.

 

[Goldenmoney]

I wish they wouldn't use letter grades for the ranking system. I feel like I'm in squid school. At least we can't get lower than a C- though.

 

[Azure J]

God damn, nothing is quite as satisfying as getting into the enemy base during Splat Zone and completely destroying their synergy by making them focus on you.

 

[DaBoss]

Hooray, the game came to a slow down (FPS drop) and it then gave a comm error. There was a lot of stuff happening on screen with the bomb rush and echolocator.

 

[Totakeke]

You're a kid, you're a squid~

 

[Kouriozan]

Well, double splat with a mine.

 

[NotLiquid]

Sniper showdowns with Sendou are fucking nerve wracking good christ

 

[Violet_0]

oh we god did it

 

[Xeteh]

Well, double splat with a mine.

Don't know what you're talking about. Didn't happen.

 

[tim.mbp]

GG gaf squids.

 

[NeoRausch]

Yep, its amazing.

I don't even want to know what's hidden in all the pictures in the book, that we don't know of yet.

Was the inking language decrypted already? Or is it just meaningless signs?

 

[UncleSporky]

Remember, GAF!

The map rollover is in 15 minutes!

Be out of a game and in the plaza if you don't want to be stuck in limbo until your matchmaking timer runs out.

Also, cash in your Judd money!

 

[egruntz]

Do you see that in the upper right corner?

Neat!

What am I looking at here?

 

[NamikazeBurst]

Game really needs to pick the second map more often.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Lag killed 3 times by the same guy after he already died by me lol.

 

[mrlion]

Gonna buy it this Friday, disc or digital? I can't decide.

 

[NotLiquid]

When you wander into complete enemy covered territory on your lonesome self knowing that people can stealth ambush you any moment

 

[Gizuko]

Sorry guys, got a late start on that one.

 

[Sendou]

Violet I love you but nothing is more frustrating than after lining up that perfect shot you teleport out of the way and kill me.

What's the update schedule for this game? New maps will keep making this game more and more fun to play...

2 new modes (Tower Control/Tug of War and Rainmaker which we have no clue what it is), 8 new maps (3 being Camp Triggerfish, Bluefin Depot and Kelp Dome, with apparently a factory, a construction site and a huge building) and at least 8 more weapons (Inkbrush, other Zappers, something that looks like a crossbow) until the big August update. They'll probably drip feed the content as to get players used to the new challenges but there's no definite release schedule.

 

[jariw]

Are main abilities fixed for every equipment? Like if I like a certain item but the ability is sucky, say defense plus, what are my options, can it reappear with a different skill? And if I already bought it, can I sell it or something? Or am I stuck with that main skill?

Main ability is connected to the gear.
