I really can't believe how much worse Splatoon 2 has turned

Isn't Splatoon 2 also going to have constant free updates just like the first Splatoon did though? Aside from the NPC designs and the single player mode the weapon balance, map selection and music can all be improved over time. Unless they specifically stated they weren't doing that and this was it?

Yeah, a Splatoob Deluxe would of been great.

>Those tick rates for both games

Shitty tick rates and P2P? The fuck is Nintendo thinking?

AND THEY WANT TO PUSH SPLAT 2 AS AN ESPORT!?
AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE PEOPLE MONEY FOR THIS!?

I love you Nintendo, but please. Fucking please change your ways.

>>386085874
don't forget to mention constant disconnects under worse netcode. i can't count how many times i've been missing a teammate or the other team is missing a guy. it's gotten to where having a full game is a grace rather than an expectation for me

>>386086113
No, they said that constant weapon/map updates are coming for at least a year, along with 2 years of splatfests.

>>386086262
I'm going to give it some time then. It wasn't like Splatoon was hot shit right out of the gate with only 5 fucking maps.

Shame about the single player and the netcode though.

>>386085874
>Worse single player mode

Agreed if you're talking about the ending, but heavily disagree if you're talking about the actual level design.

At the same time though, nobody plays Splatoon for the single player. It's all about the online multiplayer, which the game having such a low tick rate does not help in any way.

As for weapon balance, the only weapon that has shitty balance right now is the Tri-Slosher. Things like the Aerospray and Octobrush get a lot of hate, but they don't do 62 damage per hit no matter where the hit lands while also out ranging most shooter weapons and having practically no shot deviation due to the wide spread.

Outside of that, I'd argue that the weapon balance is much better in Splatoon 2.

I agree, what the fuck is this?

Switch was a mistake.

>>386086113
Map selection and weapon balance are the only things that can be improved really.

Nintendo won't do shit about the shitty tick rate though. They'll just pull an Overwatch and throw out the excuse of "if we raise the tick rate, then that means people with subpar internet would be able to play the game." Only difference is, Nintendo won't cave to the cries of frustration like Blizzard did.

>would
*wouldn't

I love typos.

>>386087070
switch has been fantastic desu.
nintendo just can't put its hands on something without at least attempting to drive it into the ground

At this rate I can't see myself ever paying for Switch online. Splatoon 2 is just garbage compared to the original.

They tried to give the gamers everything we wanted with the WiiU. Look where that got them...

shocking

>>386085874
>Game comes out with an interesting concept
>Is new and exciting
>People tend to overlook the negatives because it's new and exciting

>Sequel to game is made
>Is no longer new and exciting
>People focus on the negatives in comparison to the first game because the sequel is no longer as new or as exciting

I'm in the middle really. There are some things Splatoon 2 did right, and there are some things it did wrong.

Hopefully Nintendo will fix a bunch of shit up, but at the same time, this is Nintendo we're talking about. They never listen.

>>386087424
>are the only things
Splatoon 1 received new music halfway through

>its ANOTHER nintendo shitpost thread

>>386088696
You're not honestly pretending that we should never complain if a nintendo game is dissapointing right?

I respectfully disagree. The Story mode has better level design the weapon, balance is fine since its literally only week 2 and you think you know everything and the maps have nice gimmicks and allow for dynamic play.

>Worse single player mode
Was just wasted potential, really

>Worse weapon balance
The 1st game's balance on launch was absolutely pathetic too

>Worse map selection
More maps are gonna be coming to the game, hopefully they mix it up so every map isn't just bucket heaven

>Shitty replacements for the Squid Sisters
Purely opinion-based

>Shitty replacements for shop owners
Purely opinion-based

>Worse music
Purely opinion-based

>Factually worse netcode
Agree with this

Remember, the 1st game was pretty damn weak on launch too

The only actual negatives Splatoon 2 has to Splatoon 1 are:

>Input lag (roughly 3-4 frames)
>Regional Matchmaking

Splatoon 1 in it's current state (with all of the updates already in it) is better than Splatoon 2, but I believe Splatoon 2 has potential to be better than the 1st game, but it all depends on how the updates turn out

>>386085874
>worse weapon balance
Because damage up e-litres and dynamo rollers everywhere was a real good time right

>30+ hours in.
>No disconnects for me personally.
>A handful of players leaving which could have been shitty internet or quitters.
>No cheap deaths from the low tickrate meme.
>No bullshit panic button specials.

The only negatives I have are the meh single-player, seemingly slower drip-feed of updates so far and some minor issues with salmon run, like being docked for working alongside shitters but not getting rewarded for success.

At least my 2 year old is having fun with the new Amiibos. He's got the old one and a new one on one of his toy trains

16Hz tick rate? lul

How is that even playable?

>>386089650
Honestly, a game like Splatoon doesn't really need that high of a tick rate. None of the weapons are hitscan, and most of the projectiles are slow and predictable.

However, 16hz is unacceptable. Especially with the first game having a higher tick rate. I'd say 30hz should be the absolute minimum for a game like Splatoon.
