re: Splatoon 2: General Discussion and Review Thread

New SR map coming, as well as another Turf War map, per Nintendo's Twitter acct. This Friday, I believe.

Seriously, though, that looks even cooler than the Bridge level from the first game. For all of their faults, Nintendo has a stellar track record for consistently rolling out free DLC for this game. New weapons each week, new maps practically monthly, etc. A lot of other developers have charged much more for much less, content-wise. I wish there were a gear reward for winning the SplatFests, or something tangible.

I hope that they listen to the community and work out the annoying details on the multiplayer side. Honestly, there's ZERO excuse for not being able to play on the same team with your friends consistently. The warts this game has are totally fixable.

Despite having never played salmon run because it's never open, I have to say this is one of the most hopelessly addicting games I've ever played

I tell myself "just one more. It's only 3 minutes"

Next thing I know it's 4 a.m.

Sloshing Machine (bucket) and Manta Maria map add begins tonight at 11pm EDT.

It's that huge mp game that nintendo doesn't know how to handle.

I've listened to enough podcasts to know that nintendo is gating this game in such a head scratching fashion. Everyone seems to love it, but what gives?

I haven't played S2 yet, but I'll say that the grouping and MP was the most frustrating part of the first game, and I complained about it nonstop even while sinking countless hours into the game (because it's so freaking fun).

The gameplay is soo good. There's soo much potential for real tactical team play in MP. I mean, it could be a legitimate esports game, imo. But as long as they keep screwing up the way that grouping works in multiplay and basically disallowing organized teams from playing, it's going to just be a "fun" game, when it could be so much more.

That being said, truly organized teams in splatoon who coordinate would just wreck non-coordinated teams. You'd almost have to have ANOTHER mode that you could enter where organized teams are only playing against other organized teams.

Yeah, I'll always try to get on their side and ink it up. When the other team respawns and then goes to cover it again, it keeps them from advancing.

I forced myself to wade through a couple of different weapons last night - Tri-Slosher, Sploosh-a-Matic, Tentatek Splattershot, and a few others. It was a mixed bag, but I felt like I couldn't get nearly the coverage I do with the Aerospray.
