Splatoon Splatoon General Discussion (HYPE THREAD)

I know, I just hate knowing I paid for a game, and have the coding for it already on the disc, and yet I'm not allowed to play it until some arbitrary time.


Yea, I get that.

There must have been a reason it was actually locked though...Not that I can think of a reason for maps and weapons (ranked mode I'll give a pass if they were waiting for enough people to fill lobbies).
 
The update seems to improve the horrible frame rate in Inkopolis quite a bit. Not sure what else yet.
 
the way nintendo is handling it tho is great compared to other games with on disk DLC where you actually have to pay for it.. so i think the hour based system is cool and innovative and mostly interactive with the community

o and if u good join my clan btw gang green gang wasup

Oh yeah, I'm not knocking the fact it's free, and will keep everyone coming back to play all Summer, but, just, why? If they pulled this with any other game people would be in uproar. ~ Like, imagine playing pokemon and only having the starters for the first few days, and a new evolution line coming every week.

And I saw the clan thing. I was thinking wouldn't that work better when the friend group thing releases in August? At the moment if we tried to get a group of 8 people you're subject to having to wait for the randomers to slowly drain away and then you're likely to get inundated with 8 different friend groups worth of people trying to join.

Yea, I get that.

I kind of get the ranked thing. Kinda. Though they didn't release for glory / vr races in Smash / MK8 late, so why now? And it would have made sense if your starting rank was different depending on your level / average scores, but it doesn't?
Iunno I'm just saltspray over being in touching distance of the extra levels and instead being stuck with 6?


Apparently I'm feeling very cynical tonight. o:

Ooooh, maybe it fixes this >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tPl-wVoa-w
 
They also fixed the glitch to get free re-rolls/slots. :(
 
Did they plan on releasing a mode were you can choose your team or something? Otherwise I don't see how clans would work other than just playing agains each other which is essentially the same thing as playing with friends.

Which is why they should have had proper lobbies from release. If there's one thing I'll complain about with Splatoon, it's the lobbies. I fear leaving a lobby to change weapon in case a randomer takes my place and I can't get back in for 15 minutes (though, changing weapons in lobbies could also fix that).

The lobbies they've announced for August shouldn't be an update DLC that they hype up as a significant cool gameplay feature, it should be standard in a game like this...Or at least a priority update we get ASAP because they forgot to put it in on launch.

There's a 4 v 4 mode coming in the future where you and 3 friends go against other random teams of friends.

Yeah, in August a larger update is coming for the game allowing friend only tournaments. We don't yet know exactly how it'll work but I believe they said something in the direct about chosing a team of 4 friends to match against opposing groups of 4.
 
My team just beat another 76%-9% (And I was the MVP on my team :D)

We backed them into their base and they couldn't get out, not even with rollers
 
Snap that means another tourney coming to here.

Who wants to host it and have it take 3 months since it would require like 32 people for 8 teams (though if people actually showed up it'd be pretty cool).

To be fair, there's 33 people on the Splatoon NNID thread, so it would be possible...Assuming only one of those people lose interest in Splatoon in the next few months and stay active.



But it's possible!
 
Oi join Jeremy and I right now guys we're playing

Have someone leave the room first, I'm sitting here waiting.

I want to snipe people even though it won't benefit my team.

I would definitely compete in this. I'm not planning on putting this game down for atleast a year :p
