Splatoon Splatoon General Discussion (HYPE THREAD)

Is this game worth it? I would like to buy it, but then again, there's Fallout 4 and thousands of Steam games I would like to be as well.

I also won a giveaway on Instagram for Splatoon and all 3 amiibos, and I never received the prize. It's been about 4 weeks.

So yeah, is this game worth it?

I would definitely say that this game is worth it. I've played this game more than most other games I've played in my lifetime (I'm 14 :3)

Well, I've played the Testfire demo, it was sorta fun. Are the amiibos worth it?

Also, I was thinking of getting the game by next week if I find out its alright. But suddenly I have an addiction to buying amiibos, and there's also a huge Team Fortress 2 update coming on July 2. So, my wallet is pretty much empty right now. :p

The amiibos are certainly not mecessary to play. All they do is unlock a few challenges which are basically the normal ones but with different weapons. They do give you a set of clothes each as a reward for doing the challenges though. I would really only get the amiibos if your a huge fan of the game. I got the three pack :3 also, a bit off topic but what's this about a new team fortress two update? Is it new DLC or in game changes or free DLC or what? I haven't played it in a while but I might get back into it.

The new update is a free update with huge changes. They're adding gun qualities. Not Strange, Unusual, etc., but instead Battle Scarred, Field Tested, etc. They are also adding unique weapon skins. With no two skins being exactly the same. There will be contracts (basically objectives) like killing 5 spies. There's gonna be 3 new community made maps as well as new animations for viewing guns.

Wooo! Finally got up to B- in ranked! I tell ya, the tower control is my mode. I'm good at sniping on splat zones, but usually someone else is a sniper as well, so I'm a mute point there. XD Using the splattershot pro on tower control is really good. I'm usually leaving fights with 20+ kills win or lose. That gun has carried me up to B- from a C.

I may actually start to like ranked battles again. Turf wars is still better for me though. XD

Though I have a question with the ranked mode: Are they rotating the available game modes each day? So say once we get Rain maker, it'll be one day tower control, one day splat zones and one day rainmaker? I thought they would have rotated every 4 hours with the maps but apparently not. :/

So apparently I managed to run into one of my friends in ranked yesterday. I wasn't sure if it was him or if someone just had the same name, but my recent players list says it was him. xD

Just had a literal 30-second TC game. I hopped on the tower and rode it all the way home.

The Splattershot Pro really is OP here, as well as the Luna Blaster, annoyingly enough. Plus lag gives it far more range than humanly possible. Ofc when YOU use it you can't hit anyone.

Also did you guys know that the foreign-style music that plays when (I think) the other team has control of the tower can be heard under a radio tower in a single player level? Just discovered it yesterday lol
 
Tower Defense just broke in my room and the game ended and stopped on zero and it didnt end.

I was literally stuck in a room with like 4 other random people (everyone else left) for 30 minutes. I was painting the whole map green. I managed to paint half of Kelp Dome completely green.... It eventually ended once the whole other team left.
Because we were in there so long some guy had 39 kills and few deaths.. That was fun..

Video here, I recorded the end.

I can uplaod soime broken parts if you want.

If I ever decide to risk my A-, I think I'd prefer to try forge splattershot pro/jet squelcher and if that fails, tentatek for suction bombs and reasons. I've noticed people over use blasters for this mode though >u<

dang, since I've been in similar situations like this, everyone would disconnect but me and 1-3 others for ranked, which I'm 100% okay with because we get to win, but it always disconnects me when there's like 5 or 10 seconds to go, so I get the -10.
 
I really wish the ranking up/down would be different for different modes. Yesterday I was B+ 80, now thanks to TC I'm B 30. :/

I had a similar thing happen to me this morning. I was in a lobby on tower control and everyone but me on my team and everyone but one guy on the other team got disconnected. So it was a gun verses a charger battle for tower control. The thing is, I didn't realise it for about 30 seconds when I was killed and wondered where my team mates were. Looked up and "Oh.... Well this should be fun." XD

lmao, it's actually kind of fun when you get to 1v1. Did you at least get to the results page or did you get a communication error? xD

It completed the round just fine when it was down to us two. Like, we got the results page and then went into the waiting area where more people quickly join. It was seriously fun to 1v1, but I felt a bit bad because of the other player having a charger, so it was difficult for him to get the tower at all. ^_^"
