Why is Nintendo so awful? Two maps every four hours isn't good

>Rolling Stone: “With Splatoon 2, there definitely are people who want to know why they can’t play the Salmon Run mode all the time.”

Jordan Amaro: “I’m not allowed to speak on it, because I’m not the game director. What I can say, and what I think can be said, is that there are lots of reasons. You have to trust us that if you could play Salmon Run online anytime, that would result in a worse experience for you and everybody.”

When speaking about the thinking behind the rotation of levels, Amaro touched on the culture in Japan as one of the main factors behind their reasoning:

“In Splatoon, the maps rotate every couple of hours. And the modes change. “I bought this game. Why can’t I just enjoy this game the way I want?” That’s not how we think here. Yes, you did buy the game. But we made this game. And we’re pretty confident about how this game should be enjoyed. If you stick with us, and if you get past your initial resistance, you’re going to have the time of your life with this game. You’re really going to love it.

It's two maps per game mode you dork
>>
>>389487438
>Two maps every four hours isn't good
Map rotations are 2 hours
>>
>>389487649
On the first it was four

The second is 2

Both are unacceptable
>>
All they need to do is have a third map in rotation in multiplayer and a second map on salmon run
>>
>>389487945
there aren't really enough salmon run maps to warrant that

Nah

So, why did you out yourself as a retard in your first sentence? Was that part of your plan?
Why try to shitpost SPlatoon of all things, since it's such a success?

I thought retards like you shitposted ARMS instead when the PS4 get beaten by the switch. Why change today?

I don't care about 2 maps every 2 hours. My bigger issue is they brought back fucking Moray Towers. At least I know when not to play when that abomination is in the rotation.

I'm sure it has something to do with "limited time" brainwashing, like with mobile games.

>I don't like either of the maps in rotation, but my favorite map is coming in 30 minutes. I might not get another chance for a while, so I'll play it for 2 hours until it's off rotation again.

But even I think this is too much.

They should go Mario Kart style, it should list all the maps and everyone votes. Simple as that.

It's a way to create demand by controlling supply. People want to do the thing just because it's something they can't do all the time.

Basically it's their way of keeping the game from dying.
>>
Let me guess, you want morons to vote on the next map?
Literally just dust 2 every fucking time.
>>
Two reasons I see, not that these necessarily make it worth it. First, constricting the playerbase to a few modes keeps queue times low and ensures there's always a population to play with (more important now that matchmaking is regional). Second is that it forces players to play on various maps and different modes. Playing dust 2 or nuke town over and over gets pretty dull. Then again, I do truly hate some of the maps and wish I didn't have to play them.
>>
>>389488412
I'm op. I own both Splatoon 1 and the port known as 2.

Map rotations shouldn't exist. You should be able to play it the way you want. Fuck Nintendo.
>>
Because it's a nonissue. People on the outside looking in are just commenting on shit.

The people who actually play the game don't give two fucks. The only time maps coming up is even thought of is when Moray Towers pops up and everyone groans and re-equips their blasters.
>>
>>389492575
You'll suck it up and play it as the developers intended, or you'll quit.

Nobody cares either way, because money has been made. Nobody gives a fuck about what you think about the game, and nobody gives a fuck if you stop playing.
>>
>>389487529
But only two game modes at a time (one is always Turf Wars), and sometimes Salmon Run. Although I think each mode should be available at any time, I can live with just Ranked vs Unranked, The Salmon Run thing, though, is stupid. I can't understand it.

How do you even fuck that up? Im furious.
>>
>>389487438
I understand the reasoning and I actually enjoy it this way because we all know what happens on western multiplayer games, the community picks one map and one game mode and that's where all the population is and if you want to play any other game mode you're fucked.
I just wish fucking Morray Towers wasn't on every single fucking rotations HOLY SHIT I HATE THAT MAP

Wow, holy shit. Not even that guy, but there's nothing wrong with questioning corporate decisions. Sometimes developers are wrong. They might have a skewed vision of what people want. Without criticism, how would they know to change it? Look at the Gravity Suit in Other M (arguably the whole game). The developers "vision" was shitty and out of touch with what almost the entire player base wanted.

And you're wrong. It might not matter much for the current game outside of word of mouth for people on the fence, but unpopular decisions in the a game CAN lead to lost sales in a sequel. I'm not saying it's the case here, but implying you should just be quiet about something you dislike is stupidly naive.

This is what happens when your game is an esport first and has terrible singleplayer, you end up at the whims of a greedy corporate.

Pic related. Japs think we are too stupid to know what we want. And in some cases they are right. But they did make Splatoon 2 a 4/5 game when it could have been a t/5

You don't say?

Two maps for two hours split between three game modes is perfectly fine.
>>
>>389494118
Moray Towers and Port Mackerel were my least favorite maps in all of Splatoon and they somehow brought back both. Honestly I wish they'd just not pad out the maps with rehashes. They said Splatoon 2 will end up having more maps than the first game, but that's not really gonna be true if half the maps end up being from the first game.

You didn't state your opinion. You tried passing it off as a fact.

I'm sorry you need opinions spelled out for you.

Limit content to make the game feel like it has more content than it does.
If they allowed you to play one game mode, you'd get your fill in about a week and stop playing.

Wow that's a really bad way to phrase whatever that guy was trying to say to consumers. "Just trust us, it's better this way because!" I don't think people would get that booty blasted at the truth, which I suspect is something like what >>389490159 and >>389491532 says. I personally don't really care, but I don't play a lot of salmon run so can't comment on that.

Having to wait for Pearl and Marina to announce the stages every single time I open the damn game though, that can fuck right off.

I expected a proper sequel. Not a port with a lot of the same flaws as the Wii u.

>still have map rotation
>Rainmaker still has flaw that resets Rainmaker to middle when someone commits suicide
>no messaging system to communicate with people. I need to tell you what a piece of shit you were for just painting the base the entire match.

>not enough game modes. You only get five of them. Turf war is boring. Splat zone is just a camp fest. So you really have three modes

>Still whining about map rotation.

>Too casual to command his team with BOOYAH and THIS WAY alone.

Nigga it's like you don't WANT anyone else to keep reading your shit.

There's always 4 maps in rotation for anyone over level 10. The game is FUN at its core, so you should be playing to have fun and not because you want to dominate your favourite maps.
>>
>>389501718
>>Still whining about map rotation.
You probably defended it when it was four hour gaps too
>>Rainmaker tactic is still there.
It's not a tactic. You're losing. Instead of fighting back and earning your way back to victory you just jump off the map
>>Too casual to command his team with BOOYAH and THIS WAY alone
Implying shitters will stop being shitters just because you guide them
>>
>>389501876
>implying anyone over 10 plays turf war except to grind equipment
>>
>>389502020

I can't fathom how shit you are at rainmaker if a team that does nothing but jump off the map, gimping themselves by a whole player every time, somehow manages to beat you. Plus how many maps are there where this is even an immediately viable tactic, just towers and maybe the boat?
>>
>>389502207
>I can't fathom how shit you are at rainmaker
I'm not
if a team that does nothing but jump off the map, gimping themselves by a whole player every time
The pay off from moving two feet from the base to the middle of the map is worth losing someone

Plus how many maps are there where this is even an immediately viable tactic, just towers and maybe the boat?

All of them
>>
glad they made it two hour rotations instead of four. i'd probably prefer one hour, but, i don't know, whatever. just glad splatoon never became a 24/7 tdm shitshow like a lot of shooters.

Yeah no.
>>
>>389503491
Set it up like Mario kart. And if you are worried about your weapon set it up where when it randomly picks the map it gives everyone a few seconds to pick a weapon
>>
I don't have this game, how does Salmon Run work again? It looks really fun, but I can't play it at any time?
>>
>>389504375
Yeah. The only thing I can think is it's really easy to make money and get other perks for the game. I assume they don't want people grinding it to death.

actually i remember just getting mad that i couldn't play the maps and gamemodes i actually wanted to play, and had to wait real-life hours for them to come on like it was fucking cable television or some shit
>>
How about this: map is randomized every time a game starts.
>>
>>389504513
How does it work, do they "open" it once a day? Once a week?
>>
Splatoon 3 will give us one hour map rotations. Only have to pay 180 dollars and wait five years to play the game like it should have been in the first place
>>
>>389504904
It's open 12 hours at a time for about half the week
>>
>>389487438
this is a game where the primary objective is to shoot walls and floors, any retardation on the part of the developers should be expected.
>>
>>389490805
The problem with that is you can't customize your equipment to match the maps
>>
>>389505707
Hurrr maybe they should allow you to save sets like other first person shooters do?
