ITT: We discuss the best Splatoon modes 1.Salmon Run 2.Splatfest

>>384797660
Already getting bored. I feel buyers remorse kicking in

>>384798232
Did you play the first one?

>>384797660
Haven't played ranked in splatoon 2 yet but if the modes are the same as splatoon 1 ranked is better than turf war.

And salmon run is way better than expected. Horde modes have been dull after the original nazi zombies and this somehow feels fresh.

Aren't the last 3 really the same damn mode?

i went to tbe kiosk and saw i got tickets but i go to sean and have none someone plz halp.

>>384798232
Splatoon is way too repetitive for me. I could enjoy it for a couple hours but after that it had a "this is it?" kind of feeling to it

If the Wii U served one purpose, it was saving me money not having to buy Splatoon 2. Though I will probably still grab it during a sale

>>384799265
>I could enjoy it for a couple hours but after that it had a "this is it?" kind of feeling to it


Git gud

>>384799265
And all other multiplayers arent? I played CS1.6 and CSGO for years. Same fucking maps over and over again. Same handful of modes.

No different from most multiplayers.

>>384799265
After a couple of hours you don't even have access to most modes.

I've been playing salmon run for about three hours straight. Still finding new gameplay in it

>>384799398
Why are you so defensive? Yes, the other guys do it too, and that's the reason I don't like them either. It's the reason I really don't like multiplayer-based games at all. The only reason I'd pick this up is if the single player campaign is any good, but I'm getting a mixed bag on even that

the single player stuff is there but it's not the focus of the game. if you're not into team-based multiplayer games then this is not for you.

>>384799659
yeah you fucked up buying splatoon for singe player

>>384799831
The most fun I've had in multiplayer is when it's co-op. God I fucking love co-op. I thought Triforce Heroes was a superb game when played with others, but if it had just been "fight the other guy and see who wins", how boring would that have been

From what I understand Salmon Run is co-op, but it's also Nintendo's brand of "we tell you how to play the game you bought" and they will only let you do it at certain times. Hopefully they fix that by the time I pick this up

>>384799659
Its not being defensive you idiot, it's being realistic. All of them are like that. And if that isnt for you, then dont buy it. Easy.

I thought they were doing that to funnel all the players into the game at certain times and make it easier to find people to play with.

>>384799045
You dont get all kinds of tickets, just some. Check which one you got (probably the exp ones)

>>384800386
Salmon Run is only unavailable a couple of hours a day or so

Squids are life. Squids are love.

>>384801379
Is that how it works?
Do you have to be a certain level to play Salmon Run? Do you start it at the main tower? For a second I couldn't tell if it was local multi only.

I feel like i really missed out on something with the first splatoon. But i have no desire to play this one. I don't know why

>grind salmon run to get to a high level

>it resets the next day

stupid question, but how do the not-miiverse posts work? Post just wants to send it to twitter and I don't see anything that just sets it to pop up above you in the overworld. Does it just auto do that as long as you have something drawn?

>>384801197

It's probably that and to also give people an incentive to play the other modes when it's down.

When will they release the Pearl and Marina amiibos?

>>384801786

You have to play a quick tutorial, but salmon run is available right at the start

It's available 22 hours a day

>>384802486

If they do decide to do that, like Splatoon 1 it won't be for a few months.

What level do you get ALL the Amiibo gear?

>>384804893
thank god female player base almost always makes a shitty game just look at overwatch

>>384805225
from what's been discussed its tied to a certain amount of online matches not levels. so just keep playing then try later

Do the gear shops refresh or is inventory tied to levels?

>>384804893

Changes every day, the higher level you are the more gear slots they tend to offer.

You do wait for two other egg carriers to get on the platform before raising it...right?

>>384799659
It's kinda your fault for getting a multiplayer heavy game for the single player, hell splatoon 1' single player was pretty lackluster, so it was unrealistic to expect better.

>>384797660
I think we can all agree that Endorphin Surge is the best song so far.

You can paint the platform and go upwards yourself.

>splatershot Jr used to have protective bubble that lasted a good amount of time and also could protect your teammates

They sure didn't like that op bubble

>>384809569
>helps no teammates
But it does? It gives them a 1 hit armor or so. The invincibility specials were pretty broken indeed. I hope the Kraken returns but it has armor instead of being invincible and gets less recoil.

What is Salmon Run and how do I play it?

>>384809987
The most enjoyable mode in Splatoon. Go to the very back of the hub to the left and the game will explain how it works. I played for about four hours straight earlier

>>384809408
That's not really the point, I don't care if it's better or not, he doesn't like it, and he was hoping that was gonna be the main point from this multiplayer heavy game.

>>384809987
It's a coop horde mode. And you go to Mr. Grizz's office at the left end of the plaza.

>>384810725
Oh, ok.

Salmon Run gets brutal out of nowhere sometimes. That fucking rocket launcher boss can go fuck himself by the way. Trying to aim bombs at his launchers while being swarmed by enemies is obnoxious. I also don't care for the random weapon selection. God help me if I get a charger. I'm so bad at them.

>>384808906
Only one needs to survive to win. Only one

>>384810901
The worst case scenario is the fog. Seriously, fuck that shit, I've timed out way too many times.
>God help me if I get a charger. I'm so bad at them
Well, then get good at them. Use them in Turf War.

>>384810423
It's available 22 out of 24 hours. That's plenty

Is the splatverse content based on the region you put on your nintendo account?
Or is it just the nearest ping?

Anyone else think salmon run is the best mode?

>>384815502
Stop slacking because there's seconds left. There's4 enemy Inklings and it only takes 10 seconds to cover quarter of the map.

When are Pearl and Marina supposed to show up for the stage changes? I know in the first game Callie and Marie would have their little show to announce the change but all I get is a little message in Splatoon 2.

>>384815784
They do everytime you restart the game, which I prefer. The messages were annyoing as fuck

>>384815784
They changed it because it was awful. No one wants to see those whores. We want to play the game

Salmon Run kinda sucks.
I was hoping it would be a proper replacement for battle mode for people that prefer pve gameplay, but you get random weapons and don't get to use your usual outfit, so it negates all the meta progression.
Fun enough in its own right for a while though.

So glad the gatling gun exists, one of my biggest issues with the first game was that I really didn't enjoy any of the weapons at launch so I just ran the aerospray like everyone else and I was afraid that was going to happen again until I tried this thing.

Is it worth getting more than 600 points in salmon run?

I had 500 hours in the first Splatoon. This doesn't offer enough new stuff to make me want to play more.

Besides, it got rid of some of the GOAT maps from the original. Nothing even comes close to how good Flounder Heights, (updated) Urchin Underpass, Bluefin Depot, or Camp Triggerfish were.

No, I didn't use chargers

I THOUGHT SPLATOON 1 WAS OK BUT MY INTEREST FIZZLED A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER RANK WAS INTRODUCED. SINGLE PLAYER WAS IT'S WEAKEST LINK AND I EXPECTED THE SEQUEL TO INTRODUCE A BIGGER CO-OP CAMPAIGN THAT WASNT COUPLE MINUTE LONG LEVELS OF BABBY TIER PLATFORMING AND VARYING TEAM SIZES FOR NEW CUSTOM MODES LIKE 1V1 DUEL 2V2V2V2, AND 6V6-8V8 BIG TEAM BATTLES

SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME GAME WITH SLIGHTLY BETTER VISUALS AND NEW SUPERS

No Flounder Heights no play.

It's not that good. It really is just more Splatoon. Even single player is the exact same shit as the first game.

>>384821443
plus co-op Salmon Run which is great

Tough shit autist!
Maybe go try and find a girlfriend or something lol

>all these scrubs in splatoon threads crying about matchmaking
>Wahh this guy is five levels above me and is clearly better tha me because of it

Being an autist is the most repulsive thing!
It's always someone else's fault with you manchildren

>>384821443
Have you thought about trying CoD? you seem to have shit taste

Why are the controls so garbage tier in this game?

Both motion and dual analogs suck ass. It's impossible to have consistently good aim because the sensitivity seems to be all over the place depending on what mood the game is in.

holy SHIT single player is so fucking BORING

Why did they do this? I thought the SP in S1 was just a tacked-on experiment to pad out the content a bit more. I figured the success of the original game would prompt them to put some more effort into the campaign. It's just more floating platforms and band shooting/platforming.

Plus the levels are so fucking LONG holy SHIT

4v4 is the perfect team size for this game. Everything else would be shit.

>>384822265
>shouldn't*

Did not own Splatoon 1. Can someone tell which of the maps are fresh and which are past stages?

>>384822265
Or maybe you just got shti taste

But seriously, why are you so assblasted?

>>384822392
Moray is old, Port shares a name with a map from the first game but is pretty much entirely different. Everything else is new.

I used to fucking DESPISE Moray Towers, especially as a roller/slosher main, but those ink rails really add something to it.

Only because the Switch and Wii U couldnt handle anything else. Stop sucking corporate dick. Everyone is shitting on Destiny 2 for being the same trash as the first, arguably even worse, yet defends Splatoon 2 for being a glorified port.

Anything more, and your painting doesn't matter. Anything less, and the maps are too big.

Thanks for spoonfeedig my autistic curiosity. The port stage does look pretty much the same, the only difference as far as I can tell are the obstacles.

>booted from Salmon Run twice in the third round in three matches
>game tells me it's pretty suspicious and I'll be banned
Duck this thing. I'm actually really irritated. I have an 80mbps connection and never have any problems wired or wireless normally.

1. Ranked
2. Splatfest
3. Turfwar
3 (tie). Salmon Run

>>384821956
Only in the sense that Splatoon was so original at the time. Splatoon 2 is literally better in every way.

>>384822075
No I can aim and hit targets just fine.
The problem is that you just suck dick at aiming and can't adapt or your a PC FAG who thinks a mouse is the ultimate shooting experience
