And there are people on this board who were saying this game was "going to be the next Splatoon."

Don't get me wrong, I was hyped for it. From what I saw and heard, the motion controls actually seemed solid, and the option to not use them was nice. Unfortunately, they both suck cocks, and the game is boring as fuck (especially if you're into fighting games), so I really can't justify spending any money on this.

Oh well. They tried, I guess. I'll just wait for the next Smash Bros.

Nintendo really fucked up with this Testfire. People won't buy the game now that they know it's garbage.

it looks good but the gameplay is shit

it's a clusterfuck in anything that isn't 1vs1 and even in this mode the basic movement and the way punching works just feels off and awkward

maybe it gets fun once you completely master the rock/paper/scissor system but what kind of autist will bother doing that, playing it casually it just isn't fun
>>
game's alright. not worth 60 bucks though. will probably pick it up when it goes for like $20

I think nintendo got a bit too overconfident with the success of splatoon, so they're trying new things without really thinking about what made splatoon successful in the first place (deep and satisfying core gameplay). that or they're just piling on the gimmicks (1-2 switch comes to mind). arms sacrifices potential deep and satisfying gameplay for waggle gimmicks which is sad.

Nah.

The game's a fighting game. It's going to do terrible regardless of Nintendo fanboys. Unless your name is Mortal Kombat (which only sells because le gore), then your fighting game is going to do terrible and only be relegated to a niche audience. The problem here is, ARMS clearly isn't as deep as other fighting games. The deepest the game gets is countering arms with other arms and controlling punches. It's not super technical at all, so it won't have any lasting appeal.

So, it's in a game genre that doesn't appeal to casuals, but it's not deep enough to appeal to its own niche. As such, the game is probably going to sell a fair chunk on release and die out as soon as people get bored of it (or whenever Splatoon 2 comes out).

As for my thoughts on the game, it's fun, but has little depth. It's more of a party game than Smash Bros. is really. I'd maybe buy it if it was $25, but definitely not $60.

nintendogs will hail it as the greatest game of all time until the next switch game is finally released. got to justify the wasted expense on the switcheroo

>>378215763
25hz is at least playable to some degree. It's not ideal in any sense, but it feels decent enough outside of bullshit like cover.

The point is, the tickrate was already pushing it, and Nintendo is trying to market this game as a competitive shooter. WHY WOULD THEY MAKE THE TICKRATE WORSE?

Choose one.

I thought they were fine at first, but then I tried out the Pro Controller, and now they feel awkward as fuck in comparison. Movement feels like a chore, and waggling a controller will never be as precise as pressing a button when it comes to registering an input.

It looks like you're new here, anon replying to me. I joined about five years ago so I still feel a little new, but looks like you're fresh off the boat.

Disregard the rest of this message if you're looking for an argument; I'm leaving the thread after this. But if you're looking for an education, carry on.


What do you hope to accomplish?
Spacing is pleasing to the eyes in general. The problem lies within your own head that you want to make it a bad thing. Why?
Are you that concerned with others?
Anon, that's not a healthy way to live. Happiness comes from within you, and the moment you stop allowing yourself to be triggered by blank space, you can start becoming happy.

Anon, it'd be an easy guess you're on a path to suicide. Many people with your mindset are. It's not a bad choice, but there's better. It's your choice. For it to be a bad choice you must acknowledge that good and bad exists. But Good and bad does not exist, merely our perception that is then perpetuated by expectations.

Once you stop expecting harm to come to others insinuating they come from another degenerate website, you can stop following the path to suicide.

So, what do you choose anon?

One day, some people woke up with extendable arms. They didn't know why, but they thought they were cool, so they just dealt with it. Then, they started fighting with those arms.

That's literally it. The only wrinkle in that is Mechanica, who wanted to be part of the grand prix fighting so much (despite her lack of arms) that she made a mech suit that has them.

The game actually plays better, for me, using the Pro Controller. Only thing that is awkward at first is guarding, otherwise I had a much more fun time the second demo test. Motion is fine but I feel more secure moving and grabbing with the Pro.

Takes a bit to get used to punching but after that its smooth af. I can even knock down Ninjaras as Helix (who is indeed the best)

The only good new IP they've come out with in recent years is Splatoon.

>1-2 Switch is garbage
>Snipperclips gets boring fast
>ARMS has no depth

It's like Nintendo thinks because Splatoon was big hit that suddenly all of their new IPs will also be a big hit. Splatoon was a hit not only because of its style and attitude, but because of its tight as fuck gameplay that has actual depth and nuance to it, despite the core gameplay being simple to understand.

ARMS doesn't have that.
>>
>>378213119
>Don't get me wrong,
How could we after this long blogpost?

You probably just got raped by random Amys, Dads and Ronaldos and now blame the game for it.

Games don't have to be particularly deep to have high skill ceiling. Take Counter Strike for instance, it's literally just "put cursor on enemy and hit mouse button".

I won every single 1 vs. 1 in this demo and I'm sure the final game lets you pick a mode you want to play.

I will say this for ARMS: If Nintendo can do new characters, stages, modes, weapons, and events for free like Splatoon, then it could get pretty good.

As-is? It feels limited and a bit too tech demo-ish. I thought the motion controls were garbage, and playing with a controller felt like it wasn't the way it should be played. I also think $60 is a bit steep at launch, although I might pick it up after seeing what Nintendo does with it and when it is on sale.
>>
>>378221125
>I don't know shit about fuckall

Platinum made the game, Nintendo owns the IP. It was gonna be a Smash Bros-esque crossover game at one point anon.
>>
>>378219440
>ARMS doesn't have that.

Maybe not to the same degree but it can. It helps they're doing what they did with Splatoon with it, to support it long term with new content and updates in general.

I don't get why people are so against this game. Even if it isn't your cup of tea, why would you want it to do bad? If it does well, they'll be encouraged to make more new IPs, and maybe one of the newer ones they make will grab you. You aren't even forced to get it either. It's just going to discourage Nintendo from making new internal IPs more, and force them to rely on established series if it does do bad.

>>378221209
>I will say this for ARMS: If Nintendo can do new characters, stages, modes, weapons, and events for free like Splatoon, then it could get pretty good.

The Arms Direct confirmed they're doing exactly that.

ARMS feels like yet another Wii U era fuckup.

That's why. A lot of us are weary as fuck from the Wii U years where Nintendo released game after game but hardly catered to fan requests or wants.

>>378221310
>>378221310
They are? Didn't watch it to be honest. I'll probably do the same thing I do with most multiplayer-reliant games/splatoon 1 and gives it a few months to see how viable it is and what Nintendo does with it.

It's sold more units than even the Wii did during it's initial release. Stores are barely able to keep stock.

It may not reach PS4 numbers, but with its current sales, actual solid marketing, and actual games planned for the thing over the rest of this year, I don't see it being a flop.

Of course they were. Everything gets that kind of treatment
>Not noticing the exact same shit happening RIGHT NOW
Except this time there isn't a massively hyped and robust fanbase like Splatoon had. Even just comparing the amount of fanart ARMS had currently compared to Splatoon's pre-release hype art shows you what I mean.

>>378223136
Paying attention to every gaming media news source I can.

Japan doesn't care and the west is lukewarm on it compared to Splatoon.
>>
>>378213860
Hol up, isn't Arms fastpaced?
You'd need at least a serverside of 30 for that, and ideally 133.
>>
>>378222892
>Splatoon had a massive hype and fandom factor from day 1

Uh, not really. I remember when Nintendo first showed off Splatoon, a lot of people were confused and skeptical about it. The lack of voice chat also didn't help matters at the time.
Even the now heavily loved gyro aiming was causing skepticism.

It wasn't until later Nintendo directs (and the whole kid/squid meme) that Splatoon really started garnering a massive positive following. After that, word of mouth really helped the game to skyrocket into popularity.

The same could happen to ARMS, but I really doubt it'll be as successful as Splatoon. First off, it's a fighting game, so it's already aiming for a smaller market. Second, Splatoon 2 comes out only a month or so after ARMS, so that's going to destroy any potential future sales the game will have.
>>

>a lot of people were confused and skeptical about it.
And there was also an immediate and extremely strong positive response.

>It wasn't until later Nintendo directs (and the whole kid/squid meme) that Splatoon really started garnering a massive positive following.
Straight up: You're wrong and don't remember how much hype Splatoon had. It had a fucking Hype-pocalypse. a fucking Frozen Yogurt chain in Canada did promotional Splatoon flavors for fuck sakes.

Thats journalism 101, doesnt matter what fucking site/mag you use you mong.
>>
>>378223521
Those came after the directs I mentioned, and also doesn't really count as "hype." Hype and marketing are 2 different things.

People were skeptical as fuck about the game up until the 30 minute direct before release. /v/ especially. It was probably big in Japan, but I mean, what Nintendo franchise outside of Metroid isn't big in Japan?
>>
>>378215664
Meanwhile, most first party 3DS and Wii U games went down in price years ago.

I know it isnt one person, but the shitposting about it was just as bad as it is for ARMS. please go check yourself for Alzheimer's.
>>
>>378223521
All that promo shit happened after the fucking game came out and was a success. Probably because it was the only damn Wii U game in 2015
>>
>>378223905
>Those came after the directs I mentioned
No they didn't.

The same fucking day it released, it DOMINATED the E3 Showfloor. People were waiting 2-3 hours just to play a round of Turf Wars.

The immediate response was REALLY strong and then it only grew and got bigger over time, partially thanks to the size and strength of the initial response.

Maybe it's because you're waggling? Dude it's not the Wii, you waggle, you loose. Learn to be precise. Git gud

>the shitposting about it was just as bad as it is for ARMS
Of course. No denying that. The difference is Splatoon hype actually exists and ARMS hype is a bunch of delusional boneheads.

>>378224038
Nope. It was a domination tier smash hit at E3 for the reveal and was a massive success on the E3 showfloor the next year too.

The Japanese immediately started spewing out MOUNTAINS of fanart from the moment we saw our first Squid Kid. It's a success story but it's not an underdog by a longshot.
>>
>>378224171
Splatoon was revealed at E3 2014 and came out in May 2015. Before E3. Now stop bullshitting

It was still at the showfloor and had a fuckton of interest.

They brought it back specifically because the Splatoon area of the Nintendo showfloor was top 5 tier for popularity during the previous year's E3. Splatoon only launched at the end of May 2015. E3 was a couple days later.
>>
>>378224484
Also ARMS had a fuckton of people playing at the switch events too. When I went there were queues for it

>>378224562
>Also ARMS had a fuckton of people playing at the switch events too. When I went there were queues for it
Sure, but the interest wasn't Splatoon levels. People were tweeting/writing articles about how long the Splatoon lineups were.
>>
>>378215186
You got a fair point, although, I think that it feels more like a spiritual successor to Punch Out, a casual game about memorizing patterns and muscle memory.
AKA not a fighting game, but an arcade/party game, with some whacky mechanics.

I just couldn't let go of the feeling that this was just Punch Out but with more mechanics tacked on (for better or for worse) and more content.
And since I love Punch Out so much, I instantly loved this game. If people look at it from this angle, maybe more people might enjoy themselves.

And I don't think that the price is too steep considering the fact that they will support the game with free DLC in the future and the fact that it has more content at release than splatoon had at its release. If it was a little bit cheaper it might be easier to sell, but not by much probably.

>>378224568
>4 months vs 2 years
>1.5mil is twice of 800k
Okay buddy wipe those glasses and calm down
>>
Twintelle and Min Min have already secured the game as a pretty good (but probably not Splatoon) level success in Japan.
I expect Bloodborne levels of sales out of this game, helps that it has the ongoing DLC drops.
>>
>>378224636
Really? Source? I forgot all about it.

We both know the vast majority of the views come in the first couple months.
>>
>>378224568
>more than half the views in 1/6th of the time
Also Splatoon had fewer videos than ARMS does right now, and it was presented at the E3 direct with a much bigger audience.

>>378224568
>>378224850
Yea and one is an E3 trailer and one isnt. Everyone knows E3 pushes games. The fact its getting almost 1mil without it being pushed for E3 is really telling how much hype there is.

How can the motion controls be terrible if you feel like you are at a disadvantage with regular controls?

Seems like you just suck at the game anon.
>>
>>378225043
I agree that he sucks but why would motion control players have an advantage?
>>
>>378224934
>Sell well
It's a fighting game. Unless you're Smash, you're going to sell terribly.

>Be popular
Maybe on /v/ and Nintendo centric communities, but I don't see this being a game that casuals will be talking about playing while at work/school/college.

I don't know, OP was the one that said it.

>more than half the views in 1/6th of the time
The thing is, give it a couple years and ARMS will still be floundering near 1mil views.


>>378224817
It's hard to find specific articles at this point in time but maybe this will show you

>Last year Nintendo surprised us by unveiling a new IP at E3. As an online-focused, team-based third-person shooter, Splatoon was everything you wouldn't expect on Wii U, but it was still absolutely drenched in Nintendo charm. Splatoon was one of the most popular games on the show floor, and long waiting lines persisted throughout all three days that the show floor was open. Even though there was only one mode available, it felt like Splatoon must be a game deep in its development cycle. As it turns out, it was only 10% complete.

https://www.gamnesia.com/news/splatoon-was-only-10-complete-at-e3-last-year
>>
>>378225136
Presumably the game was designed around motion controls and give you the most precise ones. Similar to how Splatoon is best with the tilt aiming.
>>
>>378225043
Its not even a correct shitpost, consensus seems to be that regular controls play better.

It's releasing on the most popular console of the year right before Summer and a month ahead of Splatoon 2. It's marketable as fuck and is going to have a decent Nintendo push behind it. It doesn't matter if it's a fighting game. Nintendo fans are bound to ensure a good attach rate. It doesn't matter if it's a fighting game or if it's not Splatoon, it's going to break 1 million easily.

>>378225362
Nothing. Just loud people complaining as usual.

But no?

>"going to be the next Splatoon."

To bad splatoon was fucking awesome and is still fucking awesome and extremely innovative.

You just a scrub who couldn't get used to its controls and game play and would rather just run around painting like a retard instead of playing those sweet fucking ranked matches and actually playing turf wars to win instead of doign dumb shit.
>>
>>378225645
>It's releasing on the most popular console of the year
People would rather play Mariokart and Zelda. Don't fucking come at me about how Switch is the most popular console and then forget that popularity is the "normie factor" and that normies would rather play Zelda or Mariokart. Especially Zelda because of all the praise/hype it got

>>
>>378224934
They can't. Sony fanboys have to fight this console war as hard as they can. Nintendo makes them physically angry, and the mere thought of someone liking Arms gives them a headache.

Essentially, they have actual autism. They lack the self control to actually just go talk about things they like, and feel they NEED to shit on the things they don't. I can't be proven wrong, and this thread basically shows that.

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it...

It's evident you are insanely bad if you think this will get you win against anyone with more than two brain cells
>Music is either boring, or that "OH OH OH" trash
Opinions, I think the music is decent for a fighter
