Splatoon 2

Post by NiGHTSIsLife »

Is anyone here a Splatoon fan? I never hear anyone talk about it. It's my personal favorite third person shooter, and I screamed when the trailer for Splatoon 2 was revealed.

^I I don't think you get that image's joke.



I am honestly really excited for Splatoon 2, and I have yet to play the original Splatoon (which i wasn't interested in before, but i'm hoping to get soon). It and MK8D are console sellers for me. Hopefully my mother remembers to get it for me for my bday/christmas so I don't have to buy one myself and end up with two.

Perhaps, perhaps not.

If anything it reminded me how much I like shapes and that they're the only form of math I'd purposely study on my own time.

I'm a splatoon secondary and hope the single player in 2 is bigger to make a purchase worth more.

How long until Splatoon 1 servers close up shop? Imagine how much dust that disc will collect by that point.

I imagine they won't be closed for a while. It's one of the biggest games on the Wii U and the Switch just started selling, I'd say it has a good 2 more years at the very least.

Bumping the topic because holy **** over the past 4 days have I hyped myself up for the game.

It's funny, Splatoon 1 seemed like an interesting game both conceptually and mechanically, though I never played it - the gyroscope aiming especially piqued my interests, a clever way to present a different method of aiming in FPS games that could help with the lack of mouse options on consoles - but aside from watching a few of my favorite Lpers playing through it, I wasn't very interested, and Sm4sh was the only Wii U pull for me.

But now, all of a sudden, I'm saving up for a Switch solely to get Splatoon 2 on its release date, I've watched and rewatched both trailers a few times, and am anxiously awaiting the day it releases, much like I did with Overwatch. It seems like the developers are fixing all of the problems with the original game, such as lack of a true local multiplayer, lack of gameplay besides the basic PVP modes and single player, and the severe lack of hair customization.

Really, at this point the only things I'm worried about the game delivering is the ability to use a single Joycon as a controller and the single player experience, as well as the ability to choose what color your team is instead of it being picked at random (at least in local multiplayer), but even then the game is pretty much a day 1 purchase assuming I have a Switch/can afford the game by then.

Just downloaded and played through it, and no, it's in every way, shape, and form, a splatfest demo. You can play the tutorial (which is mandatory anyways) and sign up for a team for the Splatfest. That's it.

I was pretty disappointed by Splatoon 2.

The game itself is fun! Awesome! But still no splitscreen multiplayer and the new mode being timegated turned me off the game something fierce.

Oh well, maybe I'll finally get splitscreen splatoon come Splatoon 3.

A third person shooter about covering ground and killing people is ruined by splitscreen? You really don't understand what that even is if that is what you actually think.

Splitscreen cuts visibility horribly, which is mad important in sploon. Not to mention how would you even do super jumping w/ splitscreen? It'd be a hella disadvantage at best, and a liability to the team at worst.

1. Big TV's exist. If you think, in an era of 64" TV's, visibility would be impaired, you would hate when TV's were barely half that size.

2. It'd work the exact same way. Press map button, click on teammate, get teleported.

well just because current tvs are bigger doesn't make it a good idea

it's not like they're the size of two widescreen tvs taped to each other

...But this your problem, not mine.

I can't help but feel like none of you have ever actually played splitscreen games. It certainly seems like you haven't.
