Splatoon is now 1 year old.
Given the extent of its lifespan, absolutely zero DLC, new weapons and amiibos on the way, and consistent and exciting Splatfests, have you enjoyed the ride?
We may very well be on the cusp of the final Content Update on June 8, with Sheldon's Picks Volume 2.
I wish I had played it more at launch, I spent a while away and coming back I can feel it's not going to last too long unsupported
They should have kept adding real new content like gamemodes and maps instead of just reskinned versions of the same weapon

>absolutely zero DLC
>new weapons and amiibos
Good way to start the thread anon... Weapons are free DLC, and amiibos are paid DLC.
>>339142351
I grew bored of smash 4 within a year since its release. I've yet to grow bored of Splatoon.
At least post the guns.
Also at least two new pieces of gear, maybe more.
Hell yeah, I've enjoyed it. But I wish. I'd gotten the game sooner than I did.
Also, Splattershot Pro is the best weapon in the game.
>>339143181
Is that grass growing on the splatterscope?
The launch and testfire were some of the funnest times I had in a long time.
I played it somewhat regularly up until recently with Overwatch coming out.
I think it might be time to put the game behind me but I had a lot of fun with it!
Seems like, in terms of western players, the game might be dying out.

it's for 420 noscopes anon

EPIC INSULT, MY DUDE. YOU SURE SHOWED ME
>>339144957
wew lad not even him but y u mad tho?
This is the only game that can actually make me mad, I can normally get at least the second highest kill count, but it still is never enough
>>339145178
>kill count
You know the game is not really about that, don't you?
>>339142351
yeah its been fun, only if the map rotation wasn't so awful though.
>>339142351
I don't play anymore, but it was and is a great game.
Nintendo is probably already working on an NX sequel.
Add regional matchmaking as an option for Spla2n and I'll get it day 1.
>>339146401
I'm hoping they eventually adopt the system from Mario Kart Wii, and you're given 20 seconds to sort your gear, maybe letting you see what weapons the others on your team are picking.
>>339145352
Well sure but it does happen regardless if you're defending the tower
I play it occasionally for couple matches. The map rotation is killing it for me.
>>339146651
why they decided to lock it to only 2 maps at a time on some arbitrary rotation is fucking beyond me
at this point there are maps I've only ever gotten to play once or twice ever just out of sheer bad luck
Nigga you stupid as fuck if you think you've reached the end of DLC. Goddamn.
>>339142351
Still enjoying it a lot, I hope we get a 4 players splitscreen multi if they make a sequel.
After playing Overwatch and Battleborne I went back to it, and realized how much I really like it. We're also guaranteed to get more of it at some point as well since the game has an almost 50% attach rate for Wii U in Japan. When was the last time Ninty had a big new ip in Japan like this.
I absolutely love it. Easily in the top 5 games of the 8th generation.
I really hope this opened Nintendo's eyes to new things.

It did well, accept it.
I want N-ZAP with bubbler and beakon
>>339144004
Well, at least the Metacritic score wasn't too far off, although that guy made a bit of a safe bet by claiming the range between 72~80.
Guy still has a bag of dicks to eat though, regarding sales.
And the Wii U was at a point where, there were so very few games, anything new made by Nintendo would legitimately see itself as the savior of something.
>inb4 Starfox Zero
People wanted a new Starfox game, not the same game they've been playing since fucking SNES. Of all the franchises Nintendo has, Starfox is the one that manages to barely survive with rehashes alone and barely innovates from time to time.
People tend to get fed up by that at one point.
The subpar graphics certainly didn't help either. I ain't saying those are PS2/Gamecube tier graphics because those fucking consoles definitely wouldn't be able to handle graphics like that, but they're still Xbox-Wii tier, kind of somewhere in between.
>>339150183
Ranked isn't really about the kill count unless you play tower control and that fucking Rainmaker
I like it, but now I haven't played in a while it's basically unplayable. Everyone is using maxed gear while I've got mismatched stuff and it makes it very hard to have fun
Also all the weapons I used to use feel shittier, presumably from updates. Probably won't play again really. Fun while it lasted
I love it. It's an excellent game and I hope it gets a sequel.Rainamker > Splat Zones > Tower Control
>>339151337
Assault was "different" though.
And it was awful.
But I guess that's my opinion as I actually enjoyed the new one.
>>339151337
>and barely innovates from time to time.
Taking into account that, out of six, only 3 games remotely resemble each other (Star Fox, 64 and Zero) and one of those is being demonized for innovating in all the wrong ways, I don't think you have much of an argument there.
>>339142351
I stopped playing when they didn't bother nerfing the .96 gal and dynamo for the longest until it became the meta. Every comp and loadout I had was just to counter these two guns. It stopped me from getting S+ and I got so pissed I decided to not play it again. Like two weeks after they released a balance patch and fixed everything and buffed my main gun (dual squelcher) but the ranked games I had before left such a bad taste in my mouth I never played this games since.
The game was stress inducing to say the least but I enjoyed it and its one of the few good games on the wiiU and it has tons of replay value.

>>339151527
Just edit your gear mate.
>>339151887
They really needed to nerf the ridiculous range that a Dynamo Roller is capable of
>>339150183
>playing ranked for kill count
Enjoy never advancing beyond maybe B. Kills are only a means to an end in Ranked.
I bloody love this lolisquid shit. Probably one of my favorite games this generation. If my internet wasn't shit right now I'd be playing it now.
I didn't think I'd like it because I generally prefer single player experiences, but the three minute matches and no voice chat limits the autism.
I just wish it went to Japs as a last resort. The latency can be an issue sometimes and those fuckers are good.
>>339152470
Too much grinding to be worth it, I have a bunch of maxed out clothing but getting the cash to reroll them is something I just can't be bothered to do
Not while not enjoying most matches I play now. It's the fate of all multiplayer games for me, when everyone is maxed and its all meta I just can't be bothered any more. Multiplayer meta is never fun so it's not worth my time
>>339153064
I'm not maxed and I still win a lot. Maybe it's a problem between the seat and controller?
I loved it but I stopped playing it because Nintendo doesn't give a shit about it anymore.
>>339152649
>Kills are not important meme
This is not true someone who cant shoot on the objective or trying to secure it will make his team lose. Someone who kills often even when not on the objective helps some even when its not as good as being on the objective.
When you kill an opponent you spread your ink where you kill them and send them back to spawn making it easier to secure objectives. You also gain meter faster allowing for more specials which in turn can help your team further.
You need to be at least good at shooting to do anything in ranked unless you are the RM runner then you just need a bit of aim and lots of support,
>>339151671
>And it was awful.
highly debatable
I thought Assault was fucking awesome
>dat body horror

>>339153152
16 weapons, a concert, a new patch heavily tweaking all abilities, 2 new amiibos, and a Spongebob event a year after launch = Not caring.
I have over 900 hours in Splatoon since I got it at launch. It was my 2015 GOTY and a full port of it or a sequel on the NX would probably be all I need to grab Nintendo's next home console.
>>339153064
No you can just straight up edit your gear. No fucking around with Spyke or save scumming.

>>339153150
>hurr ur bad
Kill yourself
Winning isn't the problem, I win plenty it's just not fun to have to deal with everyone's broken fucking weapons and equipment. I want to chill out not be on the edge of my seat or be dying every 30 seconds
>>339154110
Well it's nice there is the option but that all just seems like a major pain in the ass for a game I don't really enjoy any more anyway
>>339154110
>people actually go out of thier way to cheat
>people care about rolling stats on extra slots when you should be focusing on the main
>tfw the diminishing returns were tested and actual percentage values are listed so you can make optimal builds
>tfw people still stack power and dont use a charger
stats are important but cheating to get perfect rolls is dumb
>>339154625
I like to pinch my penis between my leg and act like a girl when I play too.
>>339154868
You should still run attack on some weapons if you're worried about people running defense. Its also just nice to have basically any load out you want. Its so easy to do though its really not going out of your way.
>>339155106
Also for the attack up thing weapons that splash ink like rollers and sloshers benefit from it as well since it basically increases their range since it increases the damage of the flicked ink.
>>339154927
>videogames are only fun when i get to pretend i'm something by playing them super seriously
You know, this is why I have a well paid job and a girlfriend
I shelve entertainment which isn't fun any more, and I don't play games for hundreds of hours any more. I like to have fun, not tell myself it'll be fun if i just slog through a hundred hours more gameplay (lol, just realised that's DotA in a nutshell)
I haven't played since August. What should I know getting back into it? Any weapons/gear to look out for?
>>339150183
>Do you even play ranked?
Nigga I had 22 kills and still lost becasue the other team could not advance when I die.
>>339143181

Just reskins. Also the game is dead in the west.
>>339151642
Why does Splatoon anger shitposters so much?
>>339156064
They want so desperately to think that Nintendo, the Wii-U, and everything else related are horrible failures that no one plays in this year because of reasons only they know and care about, and things like Splatoon's success keep proving them wrong and it pisses them off something fierce.
>>339156982
The Wii U was a failure, which is why it's so tragic that Splatoon is on it because it didn't get nearly enough love and is already dead in north america
All the more reason I pray the NX isn't the shitshow it's looking like it will be because I want Spla2n to get a fairer shot
>>339156982
How were they when Mario Kart 8 did well?
>>339155106
>>339155235
This is common knowledge but you'd only need 2 power ups 1 main and one sub to increase the Hits to kill for most weapons and subweapons. I seem people stack 6 with a main or all 3 main.
>>339157207
I'm enjoying my Wii-U and game library immensely, so it wasn't a failure to me. How is Splatoon dead in the us, are there official statements about the activity per country?
>>339157248
Melting down in rage, just like with every other successful Nintendo game.
>>339144254
>'lol i'd be surprised if they managed 300k, even!'
>4m total sales
>not utterly BTFO
>>339151052
Technically, you can.
>>339157207
Just because Japan doesn't stop playing 24/7 it doesn't mean the game is dead in the west. I get plenty of non-Japanese squids on a regular basis at any given time.
Also, you should've learned from the Wii U that even if the console is a gimmicky piece of shit, what matters are the games, so don't worry about Spla2n.
