I really haven't enjoyed this season too much. The action sequences have been beyond epic, just fantastic television, but I feel the writing has really suffered and a lot of what made GoT so great has been lost. I was a huge fan of the slow pace, the intricate build up and the attention to detail in characterisation. This season has sadly thrown all of that out of the window in favour of hollywood-style blockbuster action sequences. I must say though, that last episode was magnificent. Some truly excellent acting, music and camera work. The pace of the episode and politicking seemed to be more inline with the earlier seasons as well. Obviously, I can't wait for season 8 and the conclusion, I just hope they dont feel pressured to break the bank when it comes to action and CGI as the cast is good enough to carry it without all the bells and whistles. The wait is going to kill me.

Fantastic review H-o-T, was going to wait before I picked this up but will be putting in an Amazon order when I get home

I don't think I've smiled that much at a video game in years, yeah, I'm talking about Chemical Zone 2 boss. I'd read to expect "something cool", but was totally unprepared for that. Great moment.
I never played Sonic as a kid, I only had a SNES and N64, played through all the original Mega Drive games on the Wii VC and absolutely loved them, this game is a continuation of that awesome gameplay. Totally agree with the high scores flying around.
Also, how good is the music? Love that they kept the original tunes but updated them, and the way they change on the second zone of each stage is super cool. This is exactly how retro-inspired games should be done in 2017.

Saw you online last night @dazzybee, welcome back. I still don't get how you could just leave your Switch on a plane though. Given how awful the online and save system is, my 140 hour Zelda save file would take precedent over anything else, car keys, phone, girlfriend. That's the first thing I'd make sure was with me and I'd be cradling it until I got back to my front door.

With the same ability? Thief! Saying that, I wonder if this is a way for those who don't have the app to get the new Summer clothes that arrive soon?
Nah, they've got opening gambit, which is killer in Ranked Mode, specifically getting to the Rainmaker or Tower first, but otherwise is pretty useless.
You can order anything you see in the plaza, so not having the app isn't much of a big deal. Just keep checking people out and eventually you'll find everything that's app 'exclusive'.

These bad boys are gonna be available from the app in 10 hours time.
Great main ability, 3 open slot and just generally awesome looking. Yup. I need to put an order in for these.
Already got these last week! Saw some guy rocking them in the plaza and swiped them for myself

Some more class games tonight! I absolutely love Salmon Run, and it's so much better with forum members as opposed to randoms, even if we're not communicating, it just seems to click.
I really hope there's some updates coming for this mode, I'd love some new maps and bosses eventually, but for now it still feels fresh every time I play. Locking it out at certain times has given it a bit of a special feeling, even if it is frustrating not being able to play when you want.
@Hero of Time, gonna have to disagree about the charger, it's easily my favourite weapon for this mode! There's nothing more satisfying than insta-killing a boss salmonid from far away

Let's-a-go!

Count me in. Will probably be home about 9.45.

Maybe investing in a ethernet adapter for the dock will do the trick? Still, you shouldn't be dependant on accessories to get a stable connection.
I've got a 700/700 Mbit fiber connection, and my switch is standing right next to my wi-fi transmitter. Thankfully no problems with the connection for me.
I shouldn't have to pay extra for a Ethernet adapter, the Wi-Fi should just work. Even if I was thinking of getting one when I eventually move next month... but that's besides the point.
This game ran flawlessly in the first couple of days, every other online game I play runs flawlessly, all the time, every time. Yet Splatoon 2 has been getting worse and worse over time. Today I've managed about 5 games in Ranked mode and that's it. I've had 5 disconnects today alone and had 2 or 3 last night. I know the problem isn't at my end because everything else is running smoothly and has been all day. I've restarted my router and nothing has changed. I'm sick of wasting my time with this game.

Went into Salmon Run for a couple of games before work, kicked out within 30 second. This is turning into a joke, and not a funny one, James Corden levels of hilarity.
Should I upgrade my 40 mb/s Internet to something even faster??? Nope, Nintendo go suck a bag of dicks for charging me fifty fat ones for a game I haven't even been able to play today.

Haha. Wow.
Quick question. If the servers/service stays as it is, will you be paying the subscription fee to play online when it's released next year?
It just happened I second time and I lost my Profeshional ranking...
If paying really does mean better online / servers then I'm happy to pay it, especially considering it's so cheap for the year, but if there's no improvement what so ever, then Nintendo can do one. My experience with Splatoon 2 thus far has been bordering on embarrassing. I have fibre Internet, it's usually faultless, but I've been forced to sit through about 2 cumulative hours worth of "please wait 5 minutes" because I've been booted from matches or lobbies. I'm one of the lucky ones, in so much as my Switch has a full Wi-Fi signal in every corner of my flat, so I can't even imagine how frustrating it would be for someone who's Switch wireless connection is problematic. I left them feedback on the game (and the awful online) in an email they sent me after purchasing through Nintendo, whether they listen is another matter. They've got to 2017 without listening to anyone but themselves, so I doubt they'll start now.

So this happened.
I wonder if an alternate universe exists where Nintendo and the Internet get along just fine.

If I don't have any other plans tomorrow, I'll be up for some Salmon run revenge. The weapon selection is much better this time around.
Maybe we should also meet up for those league battles some time?
I'm free for Salmon Run tomorrow before 4 and after 10pm. Thursday the same. As for League Battles I'm happy to give it go whenever anyone else is available, either in a pair or as a team of four.

You get disconnected Nicktendo?
Having a mare this evening. I've yet to be on a side that wins. They are either pants, have a person disconnect or have a player just sat at spawn.
What else would it be.... Getting so tired of these disconnects.
Al least we've managed to string a few wins together now. Trying out a new roller and it's not as great as I remember

Is there something in the game that forces you to do that, or was it just a personal thing?
SpoilerA couple of times in the early stages of the game your entire team get captured and you start again at level 1. You have to pick three new teammates each time.

I've added you ArtMediocre.
There seems to have been an outcry from fans over the way the Spatfest was handled. Kotaku have a piece on it.
http://kotaku.com/mayo-won-splatfest-but-some-splatoon-2-players-worry-t-1797572693
@Helmsly you played the original game a lot. We're Splatfests always like this, in the sense that you would get matched up against your own side? If so then I don't understand why fans are choosing now to start kicking off about it.
When there is a much more popular choice teams would inevitably play against each other. Happened plenty of times in the first game. My only guess at why there is so much outcry would be there are many more Westerners playing this time round and probably a lot of people playing for the first time.

I think 2000+ is generally considered to be the most elite players. I had some shocking games last night, but made up for it with a few wins this afternoon.
I can't remember exactly so maybe someone else can shed some light on it, but I'm pretty certain had this Splatfest used the old score weighting from the first game, Ketchup would have won. The fact that it was just declared as "2-1" because of the three individual results (vote, solo and team) means the most popular choice is almost always going to be at a slight advantage, unless of course you believe "all the 7 year olds chose Ketchup" that people are saying on GAF

Awwwww yeah team mayo! A win margin of 51%-49% in both solo and team battles. Crazy close in the end!
How did everyone do? I only managed 15 games and had a win ratio of 9-6 and a highest power score of 1679. Finished as a defender and was granted a measly 9 shells.
-
Playing splatfest drunk was a bad idea. And in handheld mode for the first time. I'm losing. So sorry team mayo. Please don't hate me xoxo
