Surreal and archaic online structure: no voice chat, no private matches at launch, impossibility to change weapons and gear between matches without going back to the lobby, no custom loadouts, no challanges/ in game achievements/stats
Overall, i really really loved it and i honestly would have given it a much higher score (like 9+) if the online wasn't so inexcusably stuck in 2005.
I agree, this seems to be Splatoon (and Nintendo in general) biggest mistake.
I sure hope Nintendo change their policy about online soon, it's so frustrating that a company that makes perfect multiplayer games is so behind in online infrastructure.
