Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye
- Thread starter NotLiquid
- Start date
Can't play at the moment, and probably won't till tomorrow. Thanks for the weapon impressions.
I didn't think the Nozzlenose would be a one burst kill. Would be kind of OP considering in other shooters it usually takes headshots to get a one burst kill.
But since it caps out at 99.9 damage with enough Damage Up, it can effectively be a one burst kill just after having an enemy inkling step on your own colored ink.

After all those Burst Bombs yesterday, I re-visited the original Splattershot to see what is up with it. Arowana Mall and Port Mackerel aren't the most ideal stages for it, but that was the draw.
I can't get the hang of the Burst Bombs yet, but can see their use. You can throw 4 of them on a full tank, and even thought it stops you from throwing more, you still have 1/3 of your tank left. So popping off a bunch in a row doesn't leave you completely vulnerable if you miss. I notice the enemies sometimes scatter quickly when you start chucking them, so they might be good as a plain, "GO AWAY" tool. The bomb rush special is neat but I need a lot of work at sniping people. The bombs feel important in getting rid of the mid-rangers.
Being a squelcher player mostly, I really like that it only takes 3 shots to kill with the Splattershot. So there's a little versatility there. If you can get the first hit on an Aerospray user, you usually get the kill if they rush you, or if they flee, chasing them down isn't too bad with the spray coverage it provides. Playing Splattershot aggressively can be really satisfying as well. Ended up spending almost a whole match of Arowana Mall on the enemy's side ramp (the wall one, not the one leading to the raised square). Just strafed back and forth like a maniac and threw Burst Bombs every time someone tried to come up the ramp. They would scamper back down immediately.
Tentatek Splattershot is often regarded as better than regular Splattershot, right? Might try that one again tomorrow. Had a lot of fun with the regular one, though. It's a versatile little gun.

just picked up the game today! Singeplayer is really fun so far! About to beat the first boss.
Multiplayer fun, but I've been losing mostly because of other players not knowing how to play properly. I sometimes go in thinking we've totally got this, then when the round ends we've only inked 25% of the map. And I know it isn't me cause I'm usually top scoreboard trying to ink as much as possible.

Saw a bunch of "leaks" early on Tumblr but I think we shouldn't disscuss them here right?

Sorry guys, I just wanted to jump in for a quick one to test out the nozzle before bed.
Good... game?

Doesn't it cap at 3 of each skill? I thought it did.getting some weird rerolls
the universe is trying to send me a message but I don't even need more damage with the Squelcher. On the other hand, these stats are almost too nice to reroll again

Tumblr isn't exactly the most trustworthy source. What's it even about in general?
no hard caps, just diminishing returns

If it's that mario stuff it's probably fake.
The brand gives it away. They use KOG for game-related apparel.

Okay, it's a good thing this doesn't have voice chat. I'd have just gone off.
I've played 11 games so far tonight. 10 of them have been on Kelp Dome.
My last game, I went 14-0. Managed to earn 1486 points. The other three squidholes on my team managed a combined score of.....344. COMBINED. Between the three of them. All started the match with me. None were late adds or whatever.
I wanted to punch them right in the kelp.

I envy you guys playing Splatoon with the new stuff
I'm still too down after that Direct. And had very low expectations and like the new Wii U announcements.
Waiting to try the 3K. I want to finish buying clothes and give a little time with each weapon. I'm hoping to eventually level all gear for fun and then gets slots added to the special gear (Hero Mode + Amiibo).

That is weird to me. That is like saying since Matrix 2 and 3 sucked I can't watch the first one even though I really like it. Splatoon is still a good game. If something totally unrelated changes that for you that is really strange.

I have no idea what is wrong with me today O_O can't get into a groove with any weapon.
does anyone have this fucking problem with the Wii U where's it's fucking IMPOSSIBLE to start up the fucking machine from the gamepad? If I so much as try it hangs on the Nintendo screen than fails to connect to the Wii U and advises starting closer to the console. At the fucking range it actually works in, I may as well just press the fucking console itself, defeating the entire point of having a controller to start the damn thing from the couch! this fucking gamepad can maintain a constant signal for playing games from two rooms away but it can't START UP the fucking CONSOLE from the other side of a FUCKING COFFEE TABLE. Please tell me there's some easy fix I'm missing. It usually works the second time if I jam the stupid thing right up next to the console.
The other weird thing is that the console actually DOES, IN FACT, START UP, because I need to turn it off manually so I can try and start it again via the gamepad (this also means when you DO start it up it gets this fucking stupid "HOLDING DOWN THE POWER BUTTON SHUTS OFF YOUR CONSOLE DID YOU KNOW THIS" warning)
If I seem a might pissed it's because this has been bugging me for nearly a month now

I had something like that but it wasn't because of distance. It was because of the Quick Start Menu bugging out on me. Disabled that shit and problem solved.

Have you plugged in the sensor bar? I once got this problem, but after plugging in the sensor bar, the problem never happen again.
I think I know what you're talking about and it's really fucking obnoxious. I think it's because of an orange light that shows up on the Wii U LED, but I don't know what causes it. It happens every time I turn off the Wii U, and the only "fix" I discovered was to unplug the power cord every time before I turn on the console, which, once plugged back in, reverts the LED to the standard red.

Ok so I'm NOT the only one with this damn problem. It's really damn obnoxious, and if I have to see another "Next time don't force it off!" Message.... Ugh. So annoying. No idea how to fix it.
