Posted May 9, 2015 And as soon as you do you're dead due to shields or if you have a roller and they have a gun. So kill them from within the spawn point shield, or if you can't, have one player lure the opponents out and then the other two swoop in through the ink after him.

Posted May 9, 2015 I would if I could communicate with them! Lol! That's true enough, but you could always let them go first and then just follow afterwards (that's what I ended up doing - I found myself covering the backs of my teammates whenever I started off or Super Jumped; and then would split off after about 5-10 seconds of covering them).

Posted May 9, 2015 I gave the last session a miss. I'd seen enough in the first 2 and for my sanity I needed to get out for a bit. Still knackered mind you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2015 And as soon as you do you're dead due to shields or if you have a roller and they have a gun. But what do I know. No one else had this happen so I'm clearly just making it up. I had it happen in one match, and yeah it's super annoying. They can camp out of range of the actual spawn point, there is a bottle neck you need to navigate to leave the spawn point, I tried twice, they had the charge shot which had too great a range, all the ink was enemy ink, so I couldn't just squid through it. got round it because fortunately there was a player out on the field, but if there hadn't have been there is a way on that small map to pin a team down. The large map there were 3 points you can escape from, and you have a height advantage, so it's not an issue. On the small map I think it would just be a case of removing two access ramps to completely cut off the enemy from the spawn point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2015 IMO, the roller seems insanely overpowered. I was shocked at how far I could run without getting more paint, I painted more with it and I killed more. The charger on the other hand really does need a zoom mode. But that doesen't change the fact that I think this is Nintendo's best new IP in 15 years.

It covers far more area than the other weapons before recharging and more quickly too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2015 I didn't use the roller.. realised near the end of the third session when it was too late to fix. Do you go slower with the roller when in enemy paint? I found as long as my aim was accurate I could kill rollers before they reached me, only problem was when they had a second roller friend nearby... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 9, 2015 I played all three sessions and i have to say I loved it more and more and didn't want to stop. Stunning game. I didn't enciunter any connection issues or irritating tactics though. But it's unlike anything ive played, controls amazingly, looks and sounds stunning... Everything about it. The limitations of the demo only got me more excited - to have even more levels, all the custimisarion, being able to play with people on here, forming teams, regular content, new game modes. I'd be surprised if this isn't my gsme of the year. In fact I'd be surprised if this isn't looked back in the same way as mario kart and smash! stephane I think, bit hard to tell either way though, I don't remember any of the other names now! Hmmm. Doesn't ring a bell... Come the release at least we'll know, will make a big difference I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2015 Altough I wasn't completely sold from playing this in the 12-1pm session this afternoon, I kinda spent the evening at work wanting to try it all out again. It definitely has something about it and I'm now very interested in seeing more, particularly the single player component Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2015 I played 2 of the 3 sessions and absolutely loved it! I've never played a traditional shooter, so I don't know how it compares to that. Still everything about this was so sweet and makes me wish I had the full game right now. It's really been far too long since I've played something so fun and refreshing! There is just so much detail in all aspects, hell even the loading screen has a minigame. Can't wait to play the singleplayer mode too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 11, 2015 @Wii, I think Cube already posted that a page or so back. I noticed when you turn the demo on it says there may be product placement in the game. I'm guessing some of the build boards will change over time and show ads for real products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would go nicely with the 90s vibe the game has going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 11, 2015 Part of me wishes I had ordered this from the Nintendo Store with the T-Shirt and Squid Amiibo as I really do want to play some more of it.

Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Fran was absolutely right to write what he wrote yesterday. It needs to be said and by more journalists. http://ie.ign.com/articles/2015/05/10/dear-nintendo-splatoon-needs-a-voice-chat-option It's such a contentious issue. When I looked at it yesterday it had 7,000 comments in 12 hours. 7,000! It's needed for such basic things like even before a match starts, communicating what weapons you're picking. All 4 going in with charge shot weapons isn't going to end well I think. Also when playing the demo I found at times we were spraying the same area which is a waste. Just to say something like "I'll go left" or "you go right" would be helpful. There's many examples of how useful it would be and it will only help add to the immersion and enjoyment. And Fran was a big fan of Nintendo, sure he worked on the Nintendo side of the site for years. He's a perfect example of a fan being driven away by Nintendo's decisions. For me, this is a call to arms, because I continue to be driven further away from a game maker that's defined my career and view of games. How can such an innovative company continue to ignore something so important in gaming today? Splatoon's got potential, but I worry it might only hold my attention for weeks instead of months without the community chat aspects that are so crucially important in today's games.
