Why do some people not understand muting or switching off your mic?

I don't see how some people on this forum cannot comprehend this.

Edited so that it's dropped... Basically the picture, as with the one in my sig are tongue-in-cheek.

I don't think he's told any, I know he has. Given that I can't actually talk to Reggie, my use of the word cunt cannot be directed aggressively and so it shouldn't be taken as so. So no, no other perspective is needed.

But he has told lies a few times about both the WiiU and games on it. What perspective is needed?

Then add us to your ignore list. Just like you'd mute someone with voice-chat online. Problem solved. Also, it's not just about strategy, the biggest thing is being able to talk to my friends. Since when is talking to your friends not fun? Yet still, those that say it's not strategic will be those losing games more than winning, because those that use even the slightest bit of strategy will beat those without any!

Voice-chat with friends is a must for any game. Voice chat with randoms should be in there, there's always the option to mute people! I've met loads of people through gaming online, during my CoD days on both the 360 and Wii. Many of which are friends of mine now. Just because some randoms may be annoying online, it doesn't mean all if them are. If they put in voice chat all they'd need do is have an option when going online: Voice-chat - On / Team-mates Only / Friends Only / Off What's so difficult about that? Why is it that people don't see options as something that's fair? Why is it that you have these options on CoD Black Ops Ghoss on the WiiU and yet not Nintendo games?! At the end of the day, being able to chat with friends is fun. If Nintendo are all about having fun, why is it they restrict the fun to be had?!

Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros and now it looks to be the same with Splatoon. No in-game voice chat. Then there's the decisions to have no online in games like SM3DW, Pikmin etc where online would be a great addition. I'm glad their single player experiences are still great but their multiplayer games just aren't fun anymore (unless it's local). Nintendo is like a girlfriend that is fit and is great when you're together but she never wants to you see your mates ever again. You just have to break up with her as she's not right for you in the long-run. I'm gutted and angry because I love Nintendo, but they just aren't catering for me anymore, I'm devastated.

I hope that's the case @Serebii. I really do. If you can chat with friends then I'll pick it up day 1. I'm sick of online gaming that is soulless as a result if not being able to talk to my friends. It's just nowhere near as fun.

This news is utterly wank. I had such high hopes for this game, my first few posts in this thread were so enthusiastic, I was hyped, and Nintendo have just gone and shat all over it, big-time. I'll not even bother picking this up now. Round of applause for Nintendo for totally and utterly screwing this one up!

Once I've got my MM Edition New 3DS XL, I'll trade in my standard 3DS and a couple games and finally pick this (and the first) up.

I've never played the online on this (I even forgot their was an online mode) but I'd be game sometime!

Yeah that's a good point. They thought Kinect would be a boon and would justify the higher price. In this, they made a similar mistake as Nintendo wherein they thought the casual market that the Kinect attracted would flock back. Whereas the gamer that invests most time and money into their hobby just wants the console & games and the price-point will be a big factor in their decision making. Add to that the DRM policy and compare it to what Sony's vision was, it was always going to be a clear win for Sony. Kudos to Sony though, they've been very smart but still aggressive in the correct way this gen, learning from the prior gen. Microsoft have been too bullish and Nintendo were, and still are, simply stupid.

I think it would've been closer if Microsoft hadn't initially tried to go with the policy of restricting used games, DRM etc. I do think this made consumers have a lack of faith in them. This little bit of mis-trust snowballed on them, especially when Sony came out at E3 and confirmed there'd be no such policies with PS4... that they got such a reaction for just carrying on what was the norm showed the hurt that Microsoft would suffer. Don't get me wrong, as I said it would've been closer, but Sony ticked all the boxes with what they were doing and how they approached both the consumer and developer. I don't think it's the console per se which is why they're doing so well, it's the thought process and relationships built in the background as well as how they've conveyed their message to the consumer that has boded so well for them.

Haha, I can't buy that. Being able to chat with your mates is always a plus. Not just for strategy or anything like that but for the laughs you have.

Tried the demo today, unfortunately it's not my type of game so this won't be getting a look-in from me now.

I've finally put this back on after not playing it for an absolute age. I must say it really is a fabulous game! I'm only two areas into the game (done two areas) so I've plenty left to do... and I'm really glad I have loads left!

I will do, to give it a go, but Hardline doesn't interest me as much as other BFs from what I've seen.

Can't wait for mine to arrive now!

If they were to confirm it's in, I'd beat one off right where I'm sat... at my desk in work! Haha ...but no doubt they'll not mention anything of the sort.

I'm not really bothered about them either. I never was in any of the other Smash games either. It really is just regular Smash that interests me, with items, without items it loses something and isn't as fun. It's basically going to boil down to how the online is for me, that's the deciding factor.

I've not really played this much but played a little over the weekend, just regular Smash, still got Game & Watch and DuckHunt Dog to unlock now. Once I've unlocked them and given them a little go I'll start going online. Hopefully it'll hold up well online, if so I'll play a fair bit but if not I think I'll probably trade it in... it's just not much fun on your own (I don't care for all the other modes/challenges etc).

He deserves the ban, no complaints.

I've started watching Another, just finished episode 3... man, that ending!!!

This game is just screaming out to me that it's going to be nothing short of amazing. I cannot wait!
