Now that Splatoon has received its final content patch, how do you feel about this game?
Have you gone back and played it lately and noted the differences?
Does the lack of communication options still pose a significant issue to you?
Is the amount of content satisfying to you?

What would you like to see in a potential sequel?
>>
>>322221784
A better single player campaign would be nice. Finding some way to make something other than shooters and the occasional charger viable would be choice as well. Mostly just make brushes not suck dick please

Oh and if you're not going to have voice chat at least give me a chatwheel with more than two options. Maybe place some icons on the minimap. That sort of thing.

Splatoon's great for a first entry but it's still a first entry. Doubtless there's a lot to be gained by fine tuning.
>>
It's a good game, but has several bad design decisions. The most flagrants are how most weapons are completely useless and the fact that you can only play 2 different maps per mode each day.
Also the single player content is short as fuck.

It is interesting to me that a site like IGN went back and gave the game a second review just because of how much the game has improved over time.
That's usually reserved for stuff like MMOs but this is a normal team-based shooter.

That has to mean something.

They are still stuck in the early 2000s of online multiplayer.

>>
>>322229778
Very true. They benefit from all their major cities being in centralized locations along with the general Asian belief of the whole > individual. Like certain China districts like Hong Kong, the infrastructure is modern and kept well maintained.

The US, with only exceptions to the rule, has their infrastructure stuck in the 90s, 80s, and even in the 70s in some places due to no public push to update infrastructure combined with continuing cuts country wide to transportation budgets. It's really quite sad how fast the US is being a third world nation. We'll be laughing at india for shitting in the streets while our buildings look like we shitted on them already.

Thats what happens when you take the "government is evil and cant do anything right!" meme too far. Basically the M.O. here is people beholden to private interests constantly agitate for defunding while spreading BS about how the government cant do anything right, eventually it comes true because defunding eventually ruins the programs it effects, fucked up programs taint programs not currently fucked up, which makes them more likely to be defunded successfully, this continues on and on, the end game being the private interests providing impetus for the whole line of bullshit swoop in and privatise the government program that should be run as a service, pump it for profit while letting services decay even more, and then everyone is surprised that privately run prisons (for example) are a huge fucking disaster.

Murica #1!
>>
>>322230009
They don't mark things up by THAT much. If you want a couple things and a gas station is right there, it's easier to just go there.

Gas stations and corner stores in Japan work differently though. They get plenty of neighborhood traffic and are more viable businesses. Their prices can actually rival bigger chains most of the time outside of obviously overpriced shit like clothing.

The biggest reason in Japan to go to gas stations rest in the fact that they're still considered corner stones in their neighborhoods, and you go there to get anything and pay for everything such as your phone, utility, and rent, along with many having banking services and various other services that you'd normally see being exclusively online, in a mall, or have it's own location in the states. It's a very early 90s mind set compared to the US, where we do practically everything online.

Essentially. This rush for privatization is incredibly toxic the more I see it played out. With unions diminished, companies had greater leeway in deciding what to pay their employees and what benefits to give. It turned out that companies will save as much money as possible and stagnate wages, cut sick days, cut vacation days, and demand overtime.

Private prisons tout saving tax payer dollars, but not only do they get subsidized and still get funded by tax payers, they make large amounts of money by having their prisoners work and create products for literal pennies, and oversight in conditions rapidly diminish over time.

Biggest scam being the god damn Obamacare, where you're forced by the government to get private health care, and if you're not able to afford the private health care, you get taxed by the government. Cause yeah okay.

So many damn laws and situations keep getting passed and accepted that, at best, only benefit a few, and at worst, hurt millions to benefit a few more. It's individualism turned up to 11 combined with a self delusion that the average American believes they're set to be in that few that benefit, when in reality they're multitudes of social classes below even being close to see any improvement in their life, and will only get squeezed out.

because you only have the delay to walk there to get your shit, unlike amazon that routinely takes an extra week or two to deliver you your stuff.
also being there means you can actually avoid the bad looking products. Not everybody is a good goy that open the his mouth and wait for the greatest ally to unload the merchandize
>>
I played it a lot when it was released. The core gameplay is just too good. Came back to play some of the new maps, and check out new weapons, but haven't played in a while now.

The controls kind of bother me. The motion controls simply don't feel inuitive to me, but they're required to shoot more accurately. That's a problem. Especially if you want to check out different weapons that require more skill to use.

I'm not sure if more happened, but I remember at least one map getting changed for some reason. Don't really like that. It's fine to shake things up, but at least keep the vanilla map in there as well.

I don't like the way they handle map en game mode rotation either. That should just be a thing you select yourself. Why does Nintendo have to decide what maps I get to play? I remember them saying it's so you can pick your weapons accordingly. That wouldn't have been a problem if there was a create-a-class option, so you could have several classes to fit any situation. Would make the game a lot less frustrating as well. Can't do well with a certain loadout? Simply pick another. It's a feature shooters have had for years, but Nintendo is behind the times, as usual.

I do hope they make a sequel, and improve on the things I mentioned.

Picked up the game around the holiday.

I have maybe 1 in 15 matches fail to make a connection, but that is usually quick and painless to restart the search.

Other than that, surprisingly I don't see many issues with the matchmaking, considering I see shitloads of international players on at all times. Maybe these younger Nintendo devs finally fucking found a way to make stable multiplayer.

so you dont play D_dust all day and try out all the maps

>>
>>322232564
>and to keep people from using OP load out combos

too bad 52 gal and e-liter still show up on every single map regardless
>>
>>322231785
The underpass level you mentioned was pretty poorly designed in its first iteration. It was nearly impossible to retake the middle ground from a competent team since all paths leading to it are choke points. A good e-liter could even watch all three choke points at the same time. I agree that they should leave the level as an option when creating a custom game, but the new version should be the standard for random match making since it is more balanced.
>>
>>322232663
they arent THAT op in my opinion

Eliters have problems with close range, learn how to bait kraken/burst bomb and they're wide open

.52 gal is a bit tricky but can be rekt with risky play of rushing in before the wall deploys and catching them off guard behind it

I wish they would bump up the map pool to 3 per rotation, or even get rid of the rotation all together and do something like the Mario Kart track vote. Other then that Iv had a lot of fun with it, ranked keeps me on my toes constantly but turf wars is relaxed enough that I can just have fun with weapons Im not as good at using when I want a change.

nothing is THAT op in splatoon really, but it doesn't stop 52 gal from being head-and-shoulders above the rest. the fact that it's a strong pick on almost every single map doesn't help. good e-liters won't be baited so easily, and even if they are it takes them less than a second to reach enough charge to kill you.

It is worth it to get the ethernet adapter for this game. It doesn't need to be the official Nintendo one, so they are pretty cheap. It solved my issues with disconnects.

The game hasn't even been out for 10 months and it's already getting abandoned in favor of something else?

I used to play Splatoon regularly. 4-5 times a week usually. But as time went on, my issues with the game either stayed or got worse.


>Godawful map rotation system with only two at a time
>Mode rotation system limits game modes too
>90% of every match is Japs
>50% of Jap players are gibbering retards who can't into objective based modes
>The other 50% are insane proskill autists

I can't enjoy Ranked because half the time I'm losing because my team are retarded and I can't enjoy turf war because there's only two fucking maps at a given time.

How hard would it be for Nintendo to put in the option to either turn off voice chat completley or mute individual people.

I'm A+ you fucking retard. The fact is, westerners have been playing shooters often and seriously for more than a decade. Japs haven't. They aren't experience at the genre yet, and that means many of them are making ridiculously basic mistakes. The number of A/S Rank players with Japanese names I've seen engage in hopeless lemming behavior is AMAZING.

Why do you need an ingame chat feature when Skype exists? Are you that desperate to listen to Japanese people and screaming children?

I had a lot more fun with the game before ranked mode came out.

>hey guys we got a brand new shooter with a unique ground cover wins gametype
>all the ranked modes are generic shooter gametypes like cap points, flag push, payload

the one unique gamemode the entire fucking game was built around is stuck in retard hell.

I'd LOVE to play turf war with decent high ranking players but noo, I can only play it with Japanese children.

Can you imagine how much funner matches would be if everything was truly random? Less blasters during a tc match, twin towers would still be shit but it wouldn't be 6+ eliters, snipers would likely improve since they'd have to git gud instead of relying on the map to do the work for them, etc

I think it really shows how well Nintendo's cultivated its burgeoning talent.

And the fact that they were savvy enough to tackle every issue with online shooters head-on?

>players tend to always gravitate towards certain maps and certain game modes
>implement cycled game modes and limited map rotations

>for any multiplayer game that isn't a major heavyweight like COD, TF2, Counter-Strike, etc., multiplayer tends to die extremely quickly
>implement staggered and steady content releases as well as Splatfests

To say nothing of the gameplay itself. It's really got one of the greatest gameplay cycles ever. The player doesn't have to be constantly engaging the enemy team to be contributing or preparing yourself for combat. You're laying down ink on floors which in many game modes is how you even secure victory, which also puts safe spots for your team to move quicker, or you can place ink on walls for vantage points.

And doing this all gets your more towards your special weapon which can turn the tide in a pinch.

This is to say nothing of its sleek visual style and soundtrack. I think it might genuinely be one of the finest shooters/games in general ever crafted in the 21st century.

Honestly, all I could ask out of a sequel is to reposition the camera for better aiming and judging angles of fire.
>>
>>322228147
4 hours and it's way too long. either add more maps to the rotation, or halve the time. Better yet, just pull a Mario Kart 8 and let everyone vote on the map
>>
Chargers really shouldn't exist in a game like this. Snipers are cancer in FPS in general but range is such a ridiculous advantage in Splatoon
>>
>>322231785
The 2 maps that I now went through tons of changes is Underpass and and Mall. Used to grates all the way to the other spawn so a good team can just rush the grates walkway and spawn camp, and the Underpass has more unpaintable surfaces on the sides and more cover in general. Relatively good changes in terms of keeping the game fun for newcomers that still need to learn metas and maps.
>>
>>322245412
Regular chargers and Squiffers are fine.
The E-Liter and scopes are cancer.
>>
>>322234357
I use the orange zapper and OG inkbrush. Sometimes I mix it up and use a mini splatling.

Everyone whines about eliters and 52s but I always get killed by rollers. I find it dumb that their fling kills in 1 hit, while even the heavy hitting guns that aren't chargers need at least 2. Considering that things like the Dynamo have insane range, it's frustrating when you're using a ink or octo brush.
>>
>>322246253
If rollers didn't one hit there would be no reason to use them, especially since rollers only out range the shittiest weapon in the game sploosh.
>>
>>322246501
They one hit when they roll over you, and that's fine. I just hate getting hit by a droplet and dying, and seeing I got killed by a roller in the sniper nest spam flicking. Getting hit by a full wave and dying is fine, and getting hit by the roll is fine, but dying from a drop when I unloaded 3 shots in the guy is COD panic knife- tier level of shit.
>>
>>322221784
They said content would be guaranteed until August before the August update was released, and people were saying the exact same thing. How they thought the game would be dropped after that. But Nintendo never said that it would be dropped, they never said that they would start charging for the DLC. Just that it's guaranteed that we'll keep getting content until August, and now until January.

So I'm guessing we'll get the 3.0 update later this month and then we'll continue to get content until the 4.0 update. There's no reason for them to drop a game this popular so quickly. Financially that would be a really bad move and would affect people's thoughts on buying a sequel if they were to ever make one.

Those aren't issues and they tackled them by kneecapping their game. It sold and reviewed worse than it deserved because it was content bare on release. The map rotation bullshit has murdered any longevity the game could have had.

They could have approached these concerns they had in much better ways.
>>
>>322242951
It's funny, 99% of the time the Japanese would just be saying "naisu!" or "aaa nani kore" and that's about it. I'm glad I don't have to listen to actual children screaming though.
>>
>>322246970
That shouldn't happen and is likely an effect of lag. The game displays lag in weird ways to try and hide it. Take a roller into the test area or even try it out against other people to test it out. You actually do need a direct blast to get a one hit kill. However, I do agree that this is a big problem. Someone with slight lag and a dynamo roller has almost no opening to counter attack.

I am entitled to my own opinion, so that means you pieces of shit fanboys can stop circle jerking about this shitty, terrible and pedo marketed game. First, the game's concept is boring. I can't even describe how painfully boring this game gets after half an hour, Star Wars Battlefront 2015 was better than this dogshit with photorealistic graphics, amazing sound department and an actual compeling gameplay. Second, why the game has so little content and a not worth bothering with campain? Literally Star Wars Battlefront 2015 has more diversative than Splatoon on modes and weapons, Splatoon's maps are boring to play on or frustrating to play where maps don't change in hours.
>>
>>322250504
That's cool. Why don't you start a Battlefront thread since it seems like you'd rather talk about that than Splatoon?
