Splatoon 2

>>384347982
90

high 80s

Reminder scores don't matter and if you have any wit about you you'll actually read shit while keeping in mind the author's previous reviews.

>>384347982
75 because of contrarianism.

>>384347982
85-93 metacritic score like it matters

All journalists saying it's a step up and the Salmon Run mode is a great addition

etc. etc. nothing surprising, nintendo game with high score, sonybros on suicide watch

>>384347982
100 perfect game

>>384347982
80-90/100, no more than 92/100 from the vast majority.

It'll be called a solid sequel with several tweaks to what was established in the first game but nothing revolutionary.

Who the fuck gives a shit, you're going to buy the game after all. Why would a review score even matter in that case?

>>384347982
Or you could watch twitch and not bother with shitty reviews. It's a solid game. More hectic than the first one.

I don't care about the scores, I just want the review to tell me what the Squid Sisters amiibo do.

>>384348169
Shitposting purposes, numbnuts

>>384348097
>salmon run

It's going to, as it should, get a lot of shit for being a mode you can only play at certain dates and times though.

I hope reviewers don't just smooth that over. Nintendo needs to get told that their practices are shit.

Just let people play the modes they want to play whenever.

>>384348212
This

>>384348169
Well, if it turned out the majority of reviewers gave it a 1/10 I would probably not buy it.

I imagine it's going to be in the low 80s, it'd be higher but it's to similar to the previous game to get a higher score

>>384348346
I still would because I actually played the damn game barring major issues with performance.

Insane levels of shitposting and the board being intolerable for the rest of the week

>>384348519
But don't forget that in the midst of all that, we'll also get some comfy Splatoon 2 battle threads

Anything less than 90 will be Sony nigger shitpost territory "haha worse game over switch is literally finished"

85

>>384348601
Arms got a 78, shitposting will only happen if it's lower

>>384347982
Probably the same as the first maybe a little lower because people will says it hardly any different and could've easily been an expansion on the first.

>>384348076
scores don't matter because there's been two global demo's and there's plenty of better opinions form people who actually play video games

Anything less than 100 would be an insult

>>384347982
90. It's the bee's knees.

92

I just want to know if single player is just as shallow as the first.

>>384347982
If Splatoon 2 stays above 90 for a week, Nintendo will destroy /v/

Sold out in Japan/100

>>384348519
They'll still shitpost and say that it's the Nintendo Bonus. Console wars are inevitable here.

high 70s/low 80s for being too similar to splatoon.

>>384349012
You can't say that a multiplayer game withtout dedicated servers is a 100.

>>384349179
How do you know there aren't any?

>>384349061
Single player previews are already out. It's pretty much the same length/format as the first game's. Levels are a bit longer and involve using a variety of weapons. You can also replay each level with all the weapon types.

>>384349179
It's a joke senpai

>>384349215
given how laggy the splatfest was I can tell it's peer to peer like it was in sploon 1
S+ players will be matched against gooks 99% of the time because the west's average rank is B-, so it's gonna be the same laggy experience

Can you test out each weapon in this game without buying them? Like on a shooting range?

>>384349402
Yea you could in the first game too, you'll have to unlock the ability to buy them first though.

>want to play Splatoon 2
>still haven't bought Switch
>already played BotW on my Wii U
Fuck, should I just go for it? Mario Kart online haven't died yet right?

>>384348050
this

first one got 81 because it had everything to prove and didn't have a lot of content/ Now that the formula has proven itself reviewers will be much more open to it.

Also this is now a handgeld game, that helps to impress

>>384349795
Some critics did re-reviews with higher scores. IGN gave it a 8.6 in their new review.

>>384349795
it got 80 because shit like toronto sun gave it 60 for not having voice chat.

>>384349163
Well, no shit. It's a fucking sequel.

>>384349719
MK is still alive

>>384347982
These digits bud

>>384348076
Sadly for Multiplayer focused ganes they do. High review scores drive sales and having more people playing makes for a more textured multiplayer experience.

Review scores do not modify your personal opinion or enjoyment but they do get people to buy the product who might not have otherwise.

>>384348282
Do you cry when MMOs don't let you play things when you want also, or hold events at certain times a year?

>>384347982
how can they properly review an online game before release

>>384351784
The multiplayer servers went up the other day, so they're just playing with other reviewers I guess.

>>384347982
8.9 more or less

>>384350384
thats so retarded
does anyone actually use voice chat in shooters? every time i go on voice chat on overwatch or some other shooter it usually takes away from the experience. usually just autists or children

>>384347982
Same as the previous entry

>>384351668
Yes, which is one of the reasons I don't play MMO's.

Shit like this shouldn't exist unless it's a specific event like the Splatfests. This is just a mode that plays the same every time, there's no reason for it to be locked away. I'd be like the, saying you can only play turf war at certain times during the week.

>>384348346
Most of them literally can't give scores lower than 8, have you heard about the "third point scale"?

>>384347982
nintenigger/10

>>384352659
That's kind of the point though. If everyone started to give such low scores, it'd be VERY suspicious. Åka, they would have to fuck up extremely bad. Hence why I probably wouldn't buy it.

>>384352745
No, you got it wrong, even if they don't like it, the minimum score they can give is 8 or 7, never less

>>384347982
To be honest, even as a big fan, 80ish.
Gets points for improving nearly everything but still the same, something something salmon run not being available every day or some shit.

don't matter really.

>>384352901
>Every is still the same
Well, what the fuck you want? Drop the team gun fight game and replace it by card racing?

>>384352983
*Car racing

>>384353042
card racing sounds like something that would be fun

>>384348076
>implying I need to read reviews at all to begin with
I can just look at 15 mins of gameplay videos (and not the kind of gameplay the company shows you at e3 or something, but ACTUAL gameplay by normal people) and I'll know whether I want the game or not. It's that easy.

Tells me much more than even a 10 page long review could.

>>384347982
Well it's an all around better Splatoon 1, so probably anywhere from 88 to 92 or so.

Half an hour

>just preordered
>find this thread
really would have made sense to wait another hour before hitting the purchase button, couldn't have hurt

>>384356445
>implying reviews matter

>>384356501
still worth waiting an hour to read them first

>>384356539
>reading reviews
anyway, you would've been better off if you just waited till release then watched some gameplay
preordering 2 days before release is kinda dumb

I just want to find out if my wife does anything after story mode. Amiibo looks like my only hope right now.

>>384357361
I'm very excited to see what the squid sister amiibos do. Someone said it unlocks hairstyles the other day.

>>384352983
they technically did that in MK8
and I'm not complaining, Splatoon 2 is basically everything I want from a sequel.
Except playable Octolings, which probably won't happen till SPLATIM3

>>384357893
What they need to do is unlock theSquid Sisters as newscasters, since the leaks up till now sugjest that doesn't just happen after the story.

Why does /v/ bash BF, OW, COD, CSGO, etc. but get excited for Discount Paintball Cowadoody: Babby's First Pedo Shooter?

>>384358496
all games are for kids

Have reviewers had access to the servers to actually play the main game online? Only seeing so far that they've played the Splatfest the same as everyone else has. Their only advantage is the single player so far.

>>384349719

mario kart online will only die when nintendo pulls the plug themselves.

>>384358850
I don't think so. That's why every critic rushing out their reviews for online games is so bad. Everyone just wants those first clicks and it's the first 24 hours that matter.

Why should I buy this game when I already played a ton of splatoon

Based on the test fire it doesn't seem significantly different, just a Switch version of the Wii U game with a few balance changes.

Why are people so hyped for this?

>>384359459
Because people liked Splatoon 1?

>>384359459
Because fuckton of people skipped the Wii U.

>>384358496
>Game for everyone
>Haha kids game le XD

>>384359459
Because it actually does have plenty of new content and you are mistaken.
There you go. You got three (you)s. Go to another board and masturbate now you master troll.
And don't forget to do your summer reading.

>>384359721
>because it actually does have a lot of new content
Stages barely make any difference and I've yet to see any really new clothes or weapons besides the 2 they've shown off, and even then those are vastly inferior to the standard roller anyway. Besides that Splatoon 1 has a bunch of new content too and that's free.

>>384359543
So why not continue playing Splatoon 1?

>>384359565
This is the reason I can most understand.

>>384358496
The game is a shooter not focused around criminals, soldiers or cowboys.
It's a breath of fresh air these days

>>384359939
>So why not continue playing Splatoon 1?
Because it's getting no new content and everyone will move to Splat2n soon anyway. Hell, Wii U's online will probably get switched off next year meaning you won't be able to play anymore anyway.

>>384360104
So literally just because they're forcing you to pay for something you already have and want to continue using.

You don't find that a bit distasteful?

>>384359565
Unless his reason for not liking the game originally had something to do with the playerbase being low, then that has nothing to do with it.

>>384360204
>pay for something you already have
Wrong

>>384348282
>>384352614
>wah wah stop trying to keep a player base for all modes the time is the same time when I go to uncle billy's for touchy touchy time

>>384354535
That is adorable

>>384360204
As distasteful as lying on the internet about a game's content just because you don't like people enjoying a game you've never played.
Come on man nobody smart does this. You're doing this because you a kid who couldn't land a summer job and insulting things makes you fell better.
Am I right?

I'm a 30 year old who works from home with a Wii U with Splatoon and a Switch I'm having trouble justifying

So no, no you're not right

>>384360885
I can feel the angst from here.
A nerve was struck. You should have just clicked away to fap after your first post.
Try to enjoy the rest of your day.

>game gets slightly higher than the first one
>NINTENDO CAN'T EVEN PULL SCORES LIKE OVERWATCH HAHA NINTENDOOMED
>game gets high 80s/low 90s
>LOL FUCKING NINTENDO BONUS NINTENDOOMED
Why are people like this? Why do they think Nintendo games automatically get a bonus just because of a brand name?
Arms got a 78, and I think that's a perfect score for it because it's pretty mediocre.

>>384363065
Overwatch metacritic score is such a fucking joke, had no content at launch, no campaign, terrible multiplayer, no modes whatsoever and it gets 91. Blizzard games have huge bias.

>>384363268
True. If any games get a bonus it's Blizzard games, but we all know that much like Call of Duty they're paying off reviewers.
That's what I don't get. Everybody knows CoD has paid reviews, but when Blizzard (who has the same parent company) gets 90s and above nobody is suspicious.

>>384363268
Yup. People cry Nintendo bonus, but Nintendo games get more fucking content updates than Overwatch does, jesus. We've had what, 3 new characters + 1 more on the way after more than a year of release? ARMS got a new character in a month.

>>384347982
>what scores is Splatoon going to get from a small group of gender studies graduates?
NOT FUCKING VIDEOGAMES
GET "GAMES JOURNALISM" OFF THIS BOARD

Stop buying Nintendo Switches PLEASE!
