Both of those complaints are wrong.

What? It's literally everything a sequel should be, and it's clearly different from the first game

Honestly you'd have to be legit retarded to have them side by side and not immediately tell them apart

Yeah I'm having tons of games drop out today but had been fine until now. Shits fucked

Name a sequel to an online shooter that isn't exactly the fucking same as the last one.

>>385230312
You know, for people saying this, it actually has more new shit than most online shooters sequels.

What sensitivity is the best in handheld mode? I can't find a good middle ground between too slow and too fast.

>>385230312
Would you really rather it be an enhanced full priced port?

Who cares

>>385230312
I never played Splatoon 1 but whenever Salmon Run is available I have a hard time choosing modes because I want to play them all. Either way, this horde mode has a lot of care put into it and is much more fun than in most other games.

>>385230312
No problem here anon

>>385230468
I only lost connection 2 times since the game released and I played like 20h already. Maybe its because my switch is really close to my router but either way I have had almost no problems.

>>385231434
Even basic shitty sequels like most COD games looked aesthetically different despite being the same shit underneath. Hell the recent ones are all mechanically distinct too

Still shit though, don't wanna seem like I'm saying anything else. Splatoon is at least good

>>385232027
The same can't be said about quake and unreal, the only shooters that matter in life.

Its funny that you say this, its a really different game and every 1 veteran can tell the obvious differences. Its like comparing two different cars, they look similar but they are not. Even just for the different weapon sets, specials and maps you can tell the flow of the game is drastically different.

Can't wait for Quake 1.3 or CIV 1.7.

Literally any sequel to anything is 1.X of the previous game if it's a good sequel.

Honestly, after playing ranked matches sinc release, i can say that the changes to ranked matches are all fantastic changes.

The glass break system allows you to reflect on how you lost your last match and gives you some chances to adapt to the stages or team strategy.

Its much more relaxing to play ranked now since you dont drop levels instantly like we used to in Splatoon 1.

Also, separating the ranks by game mode was also good to cause it makes it feel like you can focus on your favorite gamemode and not have to worry about losing ranks in the others.

My curent ranks
A- in tower controll
B+ in rain maker
C+ in splat zones

I still feel that Splatzones is definetly the hardest ranked mode.

Splatzones actually requires good team synergy whereas you can be a solo player and team carry in rainmaker and tower controll while only focusing on killing.

In splat zones you have to actually focus on inking turf and making good smart pathways for you and your teamates

>>385234930
>Ink paths for your team
No thats EVERY mode

I fucking hate when my teammates dont ink everything they can while theyre doing nothing but sitting on the objective. So many times Im trying to follow the tower, but it ventures in enemy ink while the guy on the tower is just sitting in squid mode.

>>385234357

no its really not.

In tower controlll and rainmaker, kills are far more important than wasting time trying to be mr sneaky trying to make a path on the other side for the fucking map.

The further away you are from the tower/rainmaker makes it easier for the enemy to get there hands on them.

Step up you game,pleb, and quit holding back your teammates in rain maker and tower controll

WHY DOES IT KEEP MATCHING ME WITH THESE 20+ LEVEL MIN-MAXERS

THE GAME'S ONLY BEEN OUT FOR LIKE A WEEK

THE ONLY WEAPONS THEY USE ARE AEROSPRAY AND SPLATERSHOT-TYPE'S

>>385232027
>Even basic shitty sequels like most COD games looked aesthetically different despite being the same shit underneath.
They were never going to change the aesthetic. It's a huge part of the game's identity.
And despite it stylistically being more of the same it still looks pretty different - they completely redid the lighting, for example. It's not a drastic difference but there are a lot of little changes that add up. It looks familiar to those who have played 1, but it also looks better.

Of course that's to say nothing of all the gameplay changes, which also are mostly pretty small on the surface, but again, they add up. Ultimately I'd say Splatoon 2 is a natural and satisfying evolution of 1 (though that's not to say it doesn't have plenty of issues).

>>385235537
I always hold the controller just slightly upwards before pressing Y and then ease it down to "regular" position

>>385235684
Painting the map is area denial, and is pretty much necessary if you plan on pushing forward. Which all of the gametypes require

I find that tilting the controller slightly upwards from your position then pressing Y works best.

Rainmaker is the hardest, imo, cause every moron wants to grab the thing despite having no idea of where to take it. Plus, it can end in 30 seconds if they are stupid enough to die or leave a route open at the beginning.

I can't wait til ranks stabalize more as the playerbase of ranked grows and people get more experience. Right now I've had so many matches like pic related and we still lost because my teammates are just so incompetent

>>385236006
Well, it only centers the camera, I can't play while laying down because of the 45 degree bullshit.

The worst part is having the enemy team take the rainmaker on Sturgeon to your left side, then seeing your teammates try and match it by going right. When left is pretty much a straight shot and gains points the fastest. I don't deserve these losses, but I get them anyway.

>>385237187
Rainmaker is the worst solo mode because you can't really solo carry it. You can't pass the rainmaker off to anyone else, and your slaying power is severely limited when you're playing the objective. If your teammates don't know optimal routes, you lose.

>>385230312

This system is weird.

I enjoy this game, but only when Nintendo's servers decide I'm allowed to fucking play it.

I've been dc'ed from my last 5 matches, I've got the warning 2 matches ago and now I'm afraid to even try playing again since I'll just get banned for this bullshit. The Switch is literally the only device I have that does this shit, everything else I have has absolutely no issues maintaining a connection. So either it's Nintendo's shit servers or it's Nintendo's shit hardware, but I'm sure you cunts will defend constant connection errors anyway.

It literally does matter. Good luck pushing objective forward when the enemy has their entire field in their color, and have the advantage of seeing you before you can see them. Obviously painting backfield during a push is retarded, but not painting forward will just cause you to lose once you get out of the Cs.

Are you retarded? Are you stuck between B- and C+? You ink turf, the enemy won't be where your ink is. If you're pushed back and everything is enemy ink, then you'll have barely any lanes to approach, you're going to be slowed down, you'll be signalling your approach to all the enemies, and your ammo will be half spent on not shooting enemies. Ink fuckin turf you scrub. If all the enemies are dead and you're not currently on the tower or grabbing the rain maker, then run ahead and ink enemy turf.

>>385240007
Lost my last 15 games. Getting people who don't seem to understand that Ranked is a different game mode, so they're 100% focusing on painting the map, so the enemy team beats us in under a minute every time.

It's a poor replacement of the disruptor. It's an install AoE instead of a direct attack. It's now only good for smoking out chargers. I also hate how the point sensors work and how much ink they use.

>>385240723
I spend most of the start of a match in rank painting the area around the objective and trying to get pick offs. I honestly think getting a solid ground advantage is key over instant grab of the objective.

The bigger issue in ranked is people running in 1v4 situations, its much better to hang back, give the enemy team an extra 15 points and attack with a full team.

In the first Splatoon I remember the starting weapon (Splattershot Jr) was pretty good, and the bubble armor special was infinitely better. This time around it seems like it is meant to exclusively stop getting wrecked by other specials, which is not easy to get the timing of.

Other opinions: it's not nearly as cool or "fresh" as the first Splatoon. I hate Pearl and Marina when comparing them to Callie and Marie. I haven't played the story yet, or Salmon Run, but I'm looking forward to them.

It sounds negative, but I loved the first Splatoon so I know once I get used to the changes I'll end up liking this game, too. But it's not having quite as good of a first impression.

How do you detect DCs? Is it the 0 points?

>>385246054
You're either exaggerating or were against a lvl 30 with stacked 3 star gear all weighed towards defense. I don't think there's a single weapon in the game that won't kill another player in less than 4 direct shots. Even the starting weapons

>>385246054
>bubble armor special was infinitely better
Invincibility specials were always bullshit in 1, good riddance.

>>385246265
0p is usually a disconnect. I think it also shows a different icon at the top bar during gameplay? Or maybe it just says they're dead, I forget.

How does the ranked matchmaking work? Can you choose the game mode or are you stuck with whatever's in the shitty rotation?

Rainmaker in splatoon 1 was God's gift to shooters but every other game mode gets dull so quickly.

>>385246054
Most of the weapons have gotten worse, and lots of the new specials suck.

You'll see.

>>385246054
Sounds like a shitty connection if anything
>>385246342
There are no defence perks anymore

>>385246391
Every special was a bit overkill in the first game. Generally, if you had a special ready, it wasn't treated like a small bonus like the specials in 2, it was essentially a get out of jail free card, for the most part.

>>385246757
>There are no defence perks anymore
There are enemy ink ones

>>385246645
You are stuck with whatever is in rotation.
So your game mode and maps depend on the time you're playing.

>>385246725
The only ones that suck are the stupid cloud and the stingray. And they can both easily be fixed.

I got one yesterday after I dc'd from 3/3 of my games. Literally not had a single connection issue since.
No excuse for why the fucking thing doesn't have ethernet ports built in along with optical audio output, but whatever.

Anyone else still hasn't found "their" gun? In Splat1 I'd exclusively use the N-Zap 89, loved everything about it and had a whole strategy built around it, but here.. Idk, with the new subs and specials, I'm still not really feeling any weapon as of now, and it kinda sucks

>>385248058
Sorry, did you ask for Salmon Run on a weekday from 5AM to 5PM?

Jesus, I feel like I am getting a lot of retard/shitty teams in Turf War.

All day it has either been:
>Grouped with people who get DC'd, so the team is mostly fucked.
>Grouped with low levels still learning the game VS a team of high level people.
>Grouped with assholes who get less then 200p per match who act like idiots and treat it like CoD.

I literally got grouped with a dude who got under 100p each time and was camping the entire time...and got no kills. He kept throwing bombs and barely hit anything, and would move every now and then. I feel like some days I get grouped well or get grouped with the worst players.

I'm finding it really fun. Never played the first so they whole 1.5 meme isn't really factoring in for me. I like how having a proper team is rewarding. Though, the whole atheistic of Splatoon seems kind of off to me. It's like they couldn't pick a style and just tossed as much teen culture as they could into a blender. In all honesty, I would have liked it to be more in the vein of Jet Set Radio and less tweenish, but still, it's nice and colorful so that's cool.

It is good if you can keep your distance but at high ranks subs/specials start playing a major part. Games have been lost due to the fact the other team can just keep curly bombing the splat zone. Not sure what the next one is, I'm still about 6 levels away. But I hope it has something or they rebalance the sub/specials.

I either win 7 in a row or lose 5 in a row in turf war. The winning team in either situation usually wins with at least 60% coverage, the matchmaking in this game is streaky as fuck.

>>385253416
I'm pretty much convinced the matchmaking is cheating.
If you win enough it seems the game notices and matches you with trash teammates.

What the fuck is up with ranked mode? Why is it that I'm lucky if there's even one competent person on my team, and if there is we just end up having to carry the team while the rest of the squidiots fall off the edge or ink walls? I don't understand whats so hard about getting the rainmaker and then defending the person carrying it and making a path. Every single time my team has won its been a result of either me or the one other person who knows what they're doing. I'm never going to get out of C hell.

>>385255178
It's called the game is brand new and the different player skill levels haven't fully stratified yet. Relax. I felt the same way at the beginning of Splatoon 1 but by the end I'd made it all the way up to A rank where I promptly stalled out forever due to seemingly always getting god tier opponents rather than shit tier allies, though my insistence on trying to roller and brush my way to victory at higher levels may have been a factor

Thanks anon, don't worry I am relaxed. I step away if I feel myself getting annoyed. I guess I'm just confused because I've never experienced something like this. I only got to play the first Splatoon about a year after it released, so I guess everyone was more or less settled in and it was a more balanced experience.
I like the different game modes in ranked but being graded kind of stresses me out a bit. It just reminds me of being grouped with absolute mongs in school who make me and one other person do all the hard work. Too much pressure.

>>385255531
The beauty is that you can instantly turn 90, 180 or 270 degrees with motion controls and after a while it starts to feel like a mouse and keyboard.

Gyros only work if you're standing or sitting up though.

>>385255531
How long have you been using it? Just give your motor program time to develop, as long as you aren't just waving it around without purpose you'll get better.

>>385255531
Play through some of story mode with it, if not the whole campaign. I hated it at first but now I can switch from handheld to separated joycons easily and it feels as close to mouse and keyboard as possible. It just takes time to get used to.

Turns out it's just maintenance shit, but their servers are still mediocre. Look at what happened to fucking eShop when Splatoon 2 first came out.

Nintendo has never had good servers, its unlikely to start now

>>385262847
If the servers are good why are they down?

>>385249760
Just tried Aerospray, definitely 4 direct hits with the sound que

>>385262847
Like they provided a good voice service?

>>385247793
Yeah Nzap was muh guy, nothing feels quite as OP as that.

Using a 52 Gal at the moment, it's getting there.

What I really want is an experience farming weapon with sprinkler/tenta missiles. Anything like that?

try turning the gyro sensitivity up to max

I guess it's better to do this shit now when Salmon Run is offline.

Who's fucking idea was this?

>>385264494
I changed it to the shorts a few hours after this. Looks even better, but I really need a Skull Bandana and some black shoes.
