Posted December 14, 2017 Thanks for the games guys, it was fun. Though I'm crap at clam blitz haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 14, 2017 Sorry guys I assumed it was over after Glen left so I just went in ranked. Clam Blitz was hard to get used to, but was definitely good fun. Would be great with a 4 man team playing positions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2017 Learnt a cheeky new technique from another player on Clam Blitz. They were on the opposing team and threw a clam towards me, which I initially tried to avoid, thinking it was a projectile , but once I realised it was just a clam and went to collect it, they then chucked in a bomb! Very nearly got me with it too. At first I thought they had thrown the clam by mistake (which I found hilarious at the time ) but looking back on it now it's actually a pretty cool tactical move. Captured a vid of it: This game keeps getting better and better, already played it way more than I did the Wii U original. Just wish they would patch out that bloody startup sequence! At the very least make it skippable!! It massively detracts from the quick pick up and play nature of the Switch. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2017 That's nice 👍 Will be using that. Also completely agree on the start up thing 😪 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) What’s the plan for tonight then? Personally I’d like to do some Salmon Run, but if there are more than 4 players don’t mind doing Turf War or Private Battle instead. Anyway, will be heading online in about 20 minutes time. *EDIT* Nobody playing? I’m gonna go ahead and do some Salmon Run then, will set a room though so if anyone does want to join feel free.

Posted December 23, 2017 You know what would’ve been cool for this game? A special Christmas day event where everyone in Turf War mode works together (spreading snow instead of ink) and the objective is to cover the map with as much snow as possible, while those enemies from the single player campaign (the ones that vacuum up ink) are trying to clear the snow. Could’ve featured Christmasy remixes of the Splatfest music tracks and awarded double XP/Super Sea Snails for taking part. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 26, 2017 The gameplay is still great but everything else is still a ball-ache and needs plenty work to make the game not feel a chore to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the stuff like the map rotation, not being able to play with friends in every mode, mode rotations and not being able to skip the intro that make it so that the game will never be my go to online game. I picked up CoD WW2 the other week, due to Splatoon 2 not fulfilling my online shooter needs, and it's crazy just how far off the mark Splatoon is in terms of offering a snappy and tailored online gaming experience. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can play with friends in Turf War whenever. You can't play with friends in ranked, but that's kinda the point, it's ranking your solo ability. They've made it so you can play a ranked team game by introducing League (keeping ranked fair by not putting teams against singlies). Then there's Private where you can play whatever mode on whatever maps with friends. There are many issues with Splatoon... the unskippable Intro, the lack of Bots for Private, convoluted VC, the staleness of Splatfests.. etc, but I never understand when people say they can't play with friends? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about if you only have 2 or 3 players? You can't start a match with randomer filling in the gap, can you? When I play something like CoD I know I can invite my mates into any game type, at any time, private or public and play together with random people, whether there's 2 of us of 8 of us. It's been like this for years in Western online shooters. Nintendo should realize it's actually okay to copy certain things from other developers. The fact that it took this long to get weapon changes implemented just shows they don't actually look at what others are doing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2017 The thing with Splatoon is every game mode is 4v4. To have a team of 4 vs 4 individuals is pointless for the individuals. They won't have a chance. They've brought in league so that you can have 2 teams of 2 vs 2 teams of two. The only other thing they can do is introduce 3v3 in League, but you can ask the people that play regularly on Thursday... 3v3 is a completely different game. They should bin off turf wars for a free play mode. Individuals go in. Friends can join friends. All 8 vote for mode and map. Majority win or random selection. That's the only way i can see it would work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 27, 2017 How do you get it to work when every mode is 4v4? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2017 They just need to have ALL MODES in casual not just turf. It’s annoying. Private is the best way to play because you can rotate maps and modes every game. It doesn’t affect anything. Just have casual like this. Fucking simple. Arms’ onmine is great because you keep rotating modes. DO THE SAME WITH SPLATOON!!!! So annoying. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 4, 2018 Finally played some rounds of Clam Blitz, quite fun! And I think the mode with the most of tactical stuff going on in Splatoon. So yeah, some better voice chat options wouldn't hurt... Also played around with the Squeezer, works quite well and has some actual range with the single ZR press option.
