That guy has such a punchable face. How people find him funny I'll never know... thank God. Anyway, I'm now super hyped for this year's E3. Can't wait to see what new surprises Nintendo have up their sleeves, and potential additions to existing games like MK8, Smash Bros. and Splatoon!

Dayum, I'd buy it.

The Best Gaming Music Ever and no Splatunes!? Shit man, let's rectify that right away: Audio Audio

I can't believe how simple/limited some people's perception of quality is these days when it comes to videogames, it's almost as if they think games and everything in them just develop themselves or appear by magic. To disregard all the hard work by developers just because a game is missing a certain feature, or doesn't include a lengthy single player mode is not a cool way to go about judging the overall quality of a game. Understandably not everyone has knowledge of the game development process and the work involved, but those that do should be showing a hell of a lot more respect to the creators in this industry. But hey, it's always easier to be critical, right? Like I'm being right now. I'm just thankful to also be able to see and appreciate the good in things, and there's plenty to admire in Splatoon. Spent the evening replaying some of the single player mode... You must have JavaScript enabled on your device to view Miiverse posts that have been embedded in a website.

I wouldn't say that, it's just a really difficult weapon to use well. The tactical benefits (especially in Splat Zones) are immense! If one member of the team is using the brush they can paint a path for the rest to swim towards the Splat Zone in no time! :awesome: It's more of a support weapon really. I had someone on my team get 100-ish points just now.

Put together a short vid of some multiplayer moments: :awesome: WARNING! The music in this vid is from the final boss battle of Splatoon's single player mode, so potential spoiler for those that haven't finished the game yet. Enjoy! : peace: *EDIT* Be sure to switch to HD if it doesn't automatically, the standard quality is shocking!

Nya... chop! Nya... chop! Nya... chop chop! Praying that they announce a European version (with Japanese audio option) at E3.

Just beat Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Amazing looking/sounding game, but even with the additions and changes in this version I still really struggle with the MG gameplay. Had fun with it though, and the ending made me laugh quite a bit too, seriously, how OTT was that!? Looks like there were quite a few extra missions that got unlocked after the Hideo Kojima roll so will probably check those out at some point, see if I can improve a bit.

Lies!

View post in Miiverse I generally do better with the Splattershot Jr. too, but have been sticking to the Roller for a while now, just for the comedy value of squishing unsuspecting inklings with it. That alone is worth the drop in points.

Apart from a couple of races, Group 1 was like a Mario Kart conga line.

And he wasn't using a cheating Mii character either. *cough*

G1: How boring? Very. : peace:

LOL @ Fat Glen.

Can someone else host, someone that doesn't like Splatoon perhaps... @Glen\-i?

Not tried that one yet, but I did notice that Metal Gear made my PS4 do the same thing that Ether One did, and make it go really nuts with the fans. Could almost still hear it over my surround sound! Does anyone else also find their PS4 getting noisier when playing Metal Gear?

Well, I prefer it when I get useful ones on gear that I also like the look of. Admittedly they're not all that powerful, but it's still nice to have a good set. The ink/special reducing and saving abilities are probably the best I reckon. But as you say (and have shown :awesome:) it's possible to do very well without worrying about them at all.

Not much I can say other than dissagree with your analogy (which compares an art form to a sport ) although I suppose quite a few people do measure quality in the video game industry based on numbers, but I don't believe it to be a good indicator.This also means that Nintendo are as great as the fans make out, because we're talking about something that's completely subjective. Anyway, it's cool that you (and others) have found another outlet for your gaming needs, and at least you still have Nintendo to thank for that.

Was leveling up some new gear earlier and ended up with this: Quick respawn x3. Wonder if it's possible to get x4 of the same ability on a single item? Anyway, it's a good job I don't really like the look of the cycle helmet, otherwise I'd have to hand over 30k to Spyke.

Great. Reckon I'll be more inclined to try being stealthy knowing that if it goes wrong... when it goes wrong, I can just Rambo it up as plan B. *EDIT* Had a quick go on Metal Gear this evening, neither plan A or B went according to plan. Shame I forgot about the share button too because I was literally all over the shop! It would've made for a hilarious vid. Also tried out Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, which seems more like my kind of game. I'd forgotten just how sluggish the PS store is on the PS3 though!

Is it true that this version of Metal Gear is a bit more focused on action, and easier to play for those that are severely lacking in stealth gameplay skills? I hear it's pretty short anyway, so will check it out.

Here we go, at last some nice in-game screens: Lookin' good.

Interesting stuff, cheers for all the replies. A lot of mentions of the N64, I'm assuming most of your first experiences of Nintendo were with the N64/GCN, rather than the NES/SNES. It seems those that were gaming earlier are also the ones who are actually less likely to become disillusioned/bored with Nintendo, which is weird. I also think some people have set their expectations of Nintendo way too high. Don't be at all surprised if you continue to be disappointed in the future, as it looks like it'll take a miracle for them to please you again.

Holy shiit! Although I guess it was just a matter of time. The boxes are obviously lame, but the amiibo themselves don't seem too bad (can't really tell properly from those pics though), still this is gonna be a nasty addition to the amiibo situation.
