Splatoon I find the testfires kind of a really dumb idea....

You know how you can download the Splatoon demo? Well, I think the demos and the testfires were a dumb idea. First of all, you can ONLY play the demo at 6PM-8PM EST on WEEKENDS. Some people are at the mall or something at those times. Some people go on road trips or go camping on weekends. What do you think about the testfires?

Well, I'd assumed their purpose was more for server-testing and the like rather than to be treated as a standard demo (so for their benefit rather than for the players) so it being restricted to certain times makes sense to me.

Well,the testfire is supposed to work like a introduction to the game in online,also,since the game came out, is not necessary to get the testfire when u can get the complete game
Like Tina said,it works like a server test than a demo,a standard demo would introduce things like inkopolis and single player mode

Who does to the mall at 6pm.

Well the testfires that happened recently weren't server tests because the game is already out, why do you need to test them? I think the time limit thing was there so that you wouldn't play too much? idk. Bit they could've had a system like "you can only play 25 games, but it can be anytime over the weekend."
Also the recent testfire was so laggy. But it was funny that pretty much everyone there already had the game. :3

The testfires were a good idea before the game came out, but it seems pointless now since a lot of people already have the full version of splatoon.

Don't they also have to put up a whole different server for the testfire?

I have the game now.
