subtract the nintendo bonus and i guess that makes it a 7/10 or something?

is this guy autistic?

8.5 from Destructoid

>>384365170
>8.0 because no voice chat
this is almost a "too much water"-level embarrassment for gamespot
who actually uses voice chat in vidya other than children and autists who feel the need to constantly yell what to do to their teammates? dont most people use discord anyways

As usual

Who even reads this shit? It's all the fucking same, gaming journalism is a damn joke. I can't find one decent pro or con, every article just talks about the game. It's "colourful and vibrant :DDD"

If Nintendo wants to start charging a subscription fee to trade pokemon online on the Switch next year, they better fucking have cross game voice chat. I mean the Vita does it for free and its a weaker handheld, why the fuck can't the Switch do it?

It's a 6/10 without the Nintendo bonus, so it's shit.

What are games from this generation that have a 90+?

>>384366407

Something about the design of the characters puts me off. I find them looking like cartoony midgets or something. Either way, this is the type of game I'd only play with a group of friends and no one owns a Switch. Already got burnt by buying MK8 and no one to play with besides randoms.

That's like saying every controller should have the Dualshock's retarded touchpad.
Nintendo's multiplayer games have never been designed around needing voice chat. If you really want to talk with your buds while grouped up in Splatoon just use discord, christ.
The only people who say that Splatoon needs voice chat are those who haven't played it, and """journalists""".

You really think Nintendo would have in-game randoms voice chat after the mistake that was 2011 era Xbox live?

3rd Parties making money with shitty accessories to compensate for the lake of standard features.

third party device to mix audio from your phone (which you need to have nintendo voice chat) and your switch so you can use a headset and voice chat while playing switch games

if that sounds confusing, it's because it is
without the third party mixer, you'd either have to lose switch audio when on voice chat or be that annoying cunt that has his tinny game audio blaring over his mic

Stop giving scores to games, that's the only way for people to actually read the reviews if they want to know about it.
But they won't because most of their userbase just jumps toward the score.

>>384366750
I don't know either. It's odd to me that the character design turns you off on the whole phenomenal game though. Do you dislike Gangbeasts?

>>384367046
Then refer to the first one. What's the issue here?

>>384368142
Because fans of things are allowed to have opinions too?

>>384366251
This is the state of nu-/v/, mate.

Voice chat is archaic.

It's more 2017 to download an app on an external device for this basic feature that has been an online standard since 1996.

>>384368225
Using pigeon mail is also an option. In other words, you're a fucking drone.

>>384368225
>Still an option
the only way to get PROPER voice chat is with a product not made by Nintendo, so no it isn't an option

you can however settle for a dogshit substitute though, so congrats on that i guess

>>384367952
So just talk to each other on discord. I highly doubt your friends will get pissed that they hear a little game audio leaking through your mic.
If you're really so adamant about no game audio through your mic, I'm sure cheap third party audio mixers that use Hori's design will come out within the fucking month my man.

>>384368302
But that's clearly letting biased fanboys to cheer for the games that are on their companies system, even more if they are exclusive

>>384368375
or, get this, you could admit that its shitty of nintendo to not support something basic like voice chat meaning that you have to jump through hoops and spend extra money to get something everybody else does as standard

>>384368410
So? Fanboys aren't allowed to like games? Spammed user reviews from fanboys who didn't play the games are more of an issue

>>384368584
>Jump through hoops
So using discord is jumping through hoops? Hmm I thought it was pretty standard....

>>384368368

>>384366537
Uncharted 4

>>384368584
Yeah, having it not built into the console is stupid. The jumping through hoops part I agree with, but spending extra money is making a mountain out of a mole hill. Again, these mixers are going to be 5 bucks once every third party manufacturer puts theirs out there.
But again, the point I'm trying to make is that Nintendo didn't put it in because only a small minority would even use it. Nintendo games are designed to not need voice chat.

>>384368708
>having to use a third party product
>not jumping through hoops
okay shill

>>384368794
being able to use voice chat without having to sacrifice game audio or have game audio leak over mic or spend extra for a mixer to avoid both

you know, that thing that every other fucking game company does

>>384368891
So why don't PC players complain about it?

>>384368994
If you don't have your tv loud as fuck right next to your mic it's literally a non issue

>>384369020
probably because they choose to use discord instead of being forced to because there is no other option

>>384369105
Nothing is an issue when based Ninty does it, right?

>>384369105
yeah or you could just admit it's shitty to not support the same voice chat that has been standard for over a decade, you fucking drone

You sound like someone who gets nervous whenever people ask you to use a mic because you sound underage or like a fag. Voice chat is always the superior way to play vidya in almost any multiplayer game.

>>384371281
I bet you didn't even get to S+ in Splatoon. I doubt you even played the first one in fact.
If you can't carry against literal children in Splatoon without voice chatting with your butt buddies, I don't know what to say to you.
Unlike most online games right now (Overwatch, ASSFAGGOTS, DotA2) you actually have solo carry potential in this game.
