You and others are now using that to defend awful games?

Why does anyone come to this board any more?

>>376682008
Splatoon is a fun game with great customization, the only problem is that the great customization is held back by attaching stats to it.

Man I can deal with that, I just want them to fix the shitty ass camera so I don't look like an autist everytime I want to look up or down. We have a second analog stick for a fucking reason Nintendo! You gimmicky cunts!

>>376682157
And why is Nintendo bothering with stats when they're fucking awful at it?

Always fucking up Mario Kart, tying boosts to Splatoon cosmetics, thinking Smash needs stats EVER with shit like Stickers and Badges, etc.

Rerolling at least isn't random anymore. By levelling up gear you get ability points or w.e is in the pic and you can set them on the sub slots. Remember that 3 sub slots = 1 main slot

>>376683246
They just need to remove damage and defence up from the game. All of the other abilities are fine in comparison.

>>376683264
Without Callie, it's confirmed Splatfests are a thing of the past. Also, no Miiverse means no cool drawings and art, which was like half the reason to even play Splatoon. I bet they probably won't ever have a real Story Mode, and just use the Horde meme shit.

I hope it fails.

>>376683264
No Miiverse.
No second screen to keep track of things and jump.
Most likely the same retarded online system instead of the only thing that Nintendo did well in terms of multiplayer: communities like in Mario Kart 7; only that you have to pay a fee for it now.

The only reason Damage Up exists is to counter Defense Up.
They really should both be removed, as Damage Up can't reduce the hits needed to kill.

Literally random speculation. They haven't said anything about it's removal/replacement yet.

I can't wait to play an online game on the go. More lag to the already laggy as fuck experience that was Splatoon 1. Now I can unload a full tank on a Jap, not kill it and get splatted by his ghost weapon, ON THE GO!
>A new horde mode
The laziest excuse for a mode in any videogame.
>New story mode with progressed story
That will be as deep and long as the story mode on Splatoon 1 according to the devs.

All those things you mentioned are a downloadable patch in any other game. But it's alright that you are excited about it. Nintendo is 5 years behind everything.

>>376684083
On some guns, it increases the damage so that, for example, a 3-shot kill weapon does 49.9 damage per shot so that it 2-shots someone who has even 0.1% damage. Something which is common with enemy ink damaging you for touching even a pixel of it. It also pairs very well with Burst Bomb weapons.

>>376684536
It's a shooter sequel, what did you expect? Nobody wanted them to Nintendo it and change up everything that everyone actually liked for no reason. See: Smash

>>376684337
Splatoon literally has magic netcode

You're such a tool. Those are ultimates, not weapons.

I'm over here, anon.
>>376684675

>>376685165
That's what the game calls them.

>>376685062
Overwatch, for example, which you would know if you played anything else beside Nintendo games.

>>376685591
>Of all the games he could have chosen, he cheats and uses a Blizzard game

>>376685591
Has Blizzard actually overhauled any character but D.Va?

>>376685591
Overwatch would be a good example, if only blizzard didn't update the game at snails pace, and you could play most modes in all stages instead, or if ctf wasn't made so bad, and if the horde mode wasn't also so lazily made.

>>376685737
Symmetra and Bastion.

Luccio also just got a pretty big set of changes that warps how he should be used pretty heavily.

>>376685890
>if only blizzard didn't update the game at snails pace
In like the last 6 months there have been 3 major events, new characters, maps, modes, character overhauls, and a LOT of patches. There's another major event coming later this month.

>>376686004
>3 major events
Those are just a means to sell limited-edition cosmetics.

>>376686162
>Those are just a means to sell limited-edition cosmetics.

You don't know what you are talking about.

>>376685890
I don't think Splatoon 1 got more updates in the same time space than Overwatch, and, what was my point in the first place, Horde mode, new modes, maps, characters, etc. are an update patch, not a new game that hardly feels new.

>>376686004
All the events add are just more micro transaction gambling options though

>>376686275

>>376686234

>>376686234
>new game modes, and map variants,
Which are all gone by the time the event ends in a week.
>and you can get the stuff you want from the event without paying any money.
Unlikely.

>>376686162
>sell
Ok.

>>376686305
>Unlikely.
If you play the game regularly you'll have enough gold stored up to buy just about everything you'd want and don't pull in the 3 to 4 weeks the event runs.

This is all new content and updates on the regular, whether you like it or not.

It's not even the only way stuff gets added.

>>376686275
Now that's talking out of your ass. The only two items I didn't get on Uprising were tied to achievements. I got everything else on loot boxes that you get by leveling up and playing the arcade mode.

>>376686004
I mean, I really like overwatch and all, but then the updates are modes like ctf that just plays in very few select stages that weren't even balanced right for the game mode, and if 3v3 wasn't just that shitty antartica stage, which reminds me the awful mei event.

>>376686406
Does it count as content when it doesn't actually do anything to affect gameplay and/or is gone after a week?

>>376686459
Are people able to play it?

If yes, then it's content.

>>376686592
You can play cosmetics?

>>376686247
Well splatoon got a new map like every month, and they were playable in all modes, unlike overwatch, not to mention yhe amount of weapons that got introduced.

>>376686459
I don't know. I had the same doubt with splatfests.

>>376686624
>I'm going to keep ignoring everything but the skins in the game because if I don't I have to acknowledge that I might be wrong

>>376686665
Splatoon didn't actually get anything new until the August after its launch. Before that, everything was on the disc.

>>376681084
I tend to run sets and builds in games that I like for a variety of reasons and tend to find the fun in the challenge of really making them work, despite knowing they aren't the objectively best sets.

Although I understand your frustration about wanting to look good and play well.

>>376686004
It also had the custom games added, and that was a HUGE content boost by itself. Blizzard does a lot to keep the game active.

>>376686690
Cosmetics aren't content, and it doesn't count if the new modes go away, because they're no longer available.

>>376686705
And yet every new mode stayed there permanently.
Really makes you think.

>>376686812
How about all the new things they added that weren't in events?

>Content never existed at all if it's only temporary.

You're silly.

>>376686907
You can still play Lucio soccer?

>>376686665
I don't argue that and I actually think the map design in Splatoon is brilliant aside from maybe one or two. What I didn't like was all the "come back in 4 hours if you don't like this mode or map".

But it's not what I was arguing about to begin with.

>>376686941
If you don't know about things that have been added to the game since the game was only a couple months old, you should probably not be having this conversation.

>>376687042
Answer my question.

>>376687067
I think he's dodging because he didn't like Lucio Ball.

>>376687067
Answer mine.

>>376686705
So two months that don't count because theh were on-disc, and yet after those two months the game got updated a ton with the things I mentioned earlier.

>>376686971
> "come back in 4 hours if you don't like this mode or map".
I think we can all agree on that, they just made so it doesn't get stale very fast and all maps were played all the time, if anything they should have reduced the rotation by two hours.

>>376687136
Don't bother with him anymore, he's clearly just an assmad Overwatch babby

>>376686907
Kind of, yes. Random heroes remained as a standalone mode, so did capture the flag and pretty much every Brawl that was popular enough. Lucioball wasn't popular enough. Neither Mei Snowball fight or whatever it was called. And they have already talked about making PvE a permanent mode due to Uprising's and Junkenstein popularity.

So, answering your question: is every special mode available? No. Are all special mode gone forever once they are over? No.

>>376687136
Yes.

>>376687345
Which is what they are doing in Splatoon 2!

>>376687359
But in Splatoon all modes are always available on all maps forever.
Splatoon wins.

>>376687345
I think it would have been cool if it was tied to the rank or play time. I liked that I had enough time to practice when I first got the game or when the new mode came out.
But I played it so much that at the end I barely could play more than 3 matches in a sit. It would have been nice if, let's say, when you reach B- or something, maps and modes go full random. Or once you score 20 hours.

I can understand that it was the team's first experience, but after 4 million sales and with Nintendo's full back up, Splatoon 2 looks really, really underwhelming.

Im glad that splatoon 2 is coming out, gonna have to remaster my splat 1 look in 2 later on, just to make it a little better than it used to be.

>>376687681
racist propaganda

>>376683694
That doesn't matter now, you just need to play 10 matches I think it was the whole way through and one of the people in the hub hand you a snail.

>>376687927
WHAT

FUCK

>>376687927
It's 20.

>>376687962
Dude, they literally tell you this when you talk to them.

>>376684669
Have you ever played the game at all? You instantly get shot from behind a wall by Japs using fucking snipers every five seconds and there's no way to evade them because even if you're zigzagging on your screen they're just seeing you slowly fart around. Jap snipers made the first game not fun and nowadays they're the only ones playing.

>>376687681
Like in my doujins.

>>376688242
Chargers fell out of the meta. Now it's blasters everywhere that will always kill you with splash damage because it's impossible to get outside of their damage radius in time. Or Jap Mini Splatlings that throw disruptors at you so you can't get away as they bubble in your face.

>>376688353
I don't play ranked because I don't want the stress, but they're absolutely everywhere in unranked. You can't go a single match without a charger Jap who can kill you before you even move. Very rarely you'll get one that can't hit the broadside of a barn and that's when the game becomes fun again.

>>376688502
>I don't play ranked because I don't want the stress
I hope all modes will be available in unranked mode in splatoon 2. I find it hard to chill out and play ranked in splatoon 1 because of the stress of not wanting to lose points aka autism

>I hope all modes will be available in unranked mode in splatoon 2.
I have to agree with this - something unranked other than just Turf War would be nice.

I'm thinking about buying Splatoon 2. I got board of Overwatch after 20 hours and only have fun with it when playing with friends. Will I like Splatoon and be able to enjoy it for hours on end and not get bored after 20 or so hours?

Fuck, when will the Switch get more good Single Player games? ARMS looks fun,
but it will be boring after 10 hours or so imo.

>>376689639
The ink mechanic works incredibly well to make the game constantly satisfying, which is what bores me in most other shooters. The way it weaves together shooting with map control, stealth, movement, reloading, special charge, etc. makes you feel productive at evey moment and keeps you engaged at every moment. Plus, the dripfeed of content makes you want to come back to it all the time. I think you'll get way more than 20 hours

>>376683609
You can talk to Judd after getting a certain winstreak and he'll give you seasnails (in the original splatoon)

>>376688242
>>376688502
You're exaggerating, I've been playing only recently and I'm leveling up pretty easily, japs aren't the only ones playing and they don't distinguish themselves all that much from the rest and chargers aren't that hard to work around. You could use the buckets to shoot them from an angle or use the brush and roller to ambush them

>>376691378
As a brush main, don't overstate their ambush ability. The splattershot(and other similar weapons) has a similar ttk, better range, and thus, better ability to climb walls for ambushes. We can only hope that brushes get a shimlar buff to the brilliant vertical flick they added for rollers.
You're right about chargers not being that big of a deal though.

Nintendo is gonna go full Steam ahead with microtransactions. You can taste it in the air. Like little yellow penis.

>>376691609
Brushes are good for me because the speed and range of the normal attack perfectly compensates for my shit aiming. I always got tons of kills so far, but i usually main buckets

>>376691758
I'm right there with ya. I main brushes, and use buckets and carbon rollers occasionally.

>>376691378
I'm really not exaggerating, I have no trouble with anyone but chargers. I can zig-zag, I can paint an entire area and zip around, I can be directly shooting the guy having his entire reticle fly all over the place and I'll still get kill instantly by a charger. They ruin the game for me every time because the Japanese players as soon as they jump out of hiding will have a bead on me and instantly kill me, and my weapon's range is barely medium range.

>>376692459
What can i say dude. Change weapon, change strategy, hide more as a squid. You have a laser pointer telling you if you're being watched by snipers

>>376681084
I just hope they add an option to lock the online by region.
With them announcing 12 tick, and having paid online, if they keep having people from across the globe playing with each other, it's gonna end up being a total lagfest.

As one anon already put, the rerolling system was redone, which means I can wear 1 brand of gear for fashion and not get stuck with a bunch of "special duration up" or whatever, but I still wish that main abilites weren't tied to cosmetics, as this means it's possible for someone to have 3 Attack Up mains compounded with 9 Attack Up subs. Granted this was already possible in Splatoon 1, but it's way easier now.
I'm still pretty miffed about ALL the weapons coming back, this means the return of the Dynamo, .96 Gal and the goddamn Luna Blaster. I hope the weapons get rebalanced because the Luna Blaster alone dominated Tower mode.
On a side note, unpopular opinion, but they should remove the Ink Resist Up ability. It's a massive crutch that pretty much removes any downside to walking in enemy ink.
