How is this still at 84 on Metacritic? The game is fresher than fresh air! I guess the first wave of reviewers is waiting a bit before revising to 100. Strange

Up to A- in Rainmaker. That mode rules so much, I didn't play much of it in the first game since I slowed down playing by the time it came out. That was a mistake.

threelemmings posted:The brush is so-so, but the Octobrush is really really good. Great as a backstabbing type weapon, with good turf coverage. If you were underwhelmed by the first one, give it a try. The regular ink brush is more efficient for turf coverage than the octobrush.

Rainmaker is also more interesting in this one since you can't do things like kraken escort the rainmaker straight to the goal. Granted that stopped working at high ranks in the original but at lower ranks you could be quite cheap.

Aerospray MG is amazing, by the way. Its only flaw is Curling Bomb Launcher is kinda mediocre, but I assume that’s a balancing thing

Is it me, or is the meta evolving into "Dickbag perched on other side of map using long Splattershot Pro / Squelcher destroying you before you evens see the bullets leave his gun"?quote:
I love this game but let's not pretend it's perfect. Netcode is still bad, no regional matchmaking, no way to check ping and the often ridiculed voice chat measure probably drag scores down. On the other hand, they're game journalists so who cares?

Absolutely, it’s a fun game, so getting into a genital measuring contest about how many points it has is ridiculous, as is pretending Nintendo has figured out online games. They clearly haven’t, but the game succeeds in spite of that.

Yeah but is an 84 vs a 92 or whatever meaningful at all? 84 is a good score and splatoon is a good game

i think review scores would be a whole lot more useful if they actually used all the numbers instead of anything below 8 meaning it's garbage also the way metacritic/rotten tomatoes is used as a way to judge something is so bad because it means whatever is blandly appealing to the widest audience is going to get high scores rather than something that might possibly be very narrowly and specifically 'my poo poo' inferis fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Jul 25, 2017 |

Today has just been depressing. It really is impossible to carry in turf war if your teammates don't know what they're doing or if they just play follow the leader. Tonight I've been stuck in games where I'll go up Moray Towers on the enemy side and sneak by- take out the usual dude that spots me... only for the ENTIRETY OF MY TEAM to squid jump to me for some bizarre reason and race to the top leaving our side and the middle totally unprotected. Fine Inkblot I'll roll around to the enemy side and spawn camp a little while covering turf near their base. I make sure the middle is clear but one enemy sneaks by. "My team can handle one guy right?" Wrong, that one guy is just making GBS threads on them and I was a fool to think they could handle themselves in a 3v1. By the time I get over there and splat the dude the entire enemy team is now free and each one of them is capable of wiping the 3 other goofs on my team by themselves. Just insanely insanely frustrating  E: And for the record I'm fine with losing and I acknowledge I'm pretty mediocre in PVP modes usually but I'd really like to feel like I had a team capable of helping me out sometimes. I know a handful of them are probably kids but maan. ThisIsACoolGuy fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Jul 25, 2017 |

I really don't get how you can get bent out of shape over turf war. Yeah, it sucks to lose a lot but...its loving turf war. Literal children are playing that mode for the first time. I don't go into that expecting to have fair and balanced matches. Frankly I'll be happy just with coming in first on my own team. Though I might just be rusty but I'm having trouble getting high scores with the brushes. Its a struggle to break 1000p, but when I was using the splattershot jr. I was surpassing that pretty easily.

It's strange, I can play just about anything without tilting but splatoon 2 ranked irks me in just the wrong way. Let me shoot sub weapons to disarm them or something, they aren't even used in other modes.

I have played enough Splatoon 1 to know and accept that if I die in the last minute of the match, no matter how far ahead we were, the rest of my team will immediately roll the red carpet out for the enemy and everything will be bad.

Don't take Turf War seriously as a competitive person myself I know that's not easy to do as losing NEVER feels good. If you're going to play Turf War set a different objective for yourself like practicing a new weapon or some poo poo like that. Def take it seriously when there's a Splatfest going down though.

Turf War fucks me up because I hate seeing those little miniscule un-inked (or wrong colored) spots. I can't handle bald spots on an otherwise beautiful splatscape, and end up spending a dumb amount of time just splatting little touch-ups. Unless I play aeromark in which case, gently caress it everything's getting inked.

Zeruel posted:My Revolver Octolot cosplay can begin. I just realized that every beret I've seen ingame has had ink resistance as its perk. Which means that the gear from the app can have different main abilities, so now I'm gonna have to download it. Pretty annoyed I can't just change it myself ingame but whatever.

Do the various stats on gear matter at all? I mean, I have a very specific look I'm going for but don't know if I should be stacking ink resistance or something.

Strange To be honest, that's about what I would give it right now. It's a solid game but the matchmaking is hot steaming garbage and nagging issues like Salmon Run being a limited time event and some control issues take it out of the 90+ bracket. Most of those issues though can be fixed with updates so here's to hoping Nintendo put some work in.

jokes posted:Do the various stats on gear matter at all? I mean, I have a very specific look I'm going for but don't know if I should be stacking ink resistance or something. So every piece of equipment has a major ability (the default unlock) and 1-3 secondary abilities that is a 1/3rd of the power of a major. So if you have three of the same secondary it adds up to one major. Some unlock abilities, like the stealth jump or the side roll. Others boost things like damage, ink usage, defense, etc by 5-10% ish. So is it going to make or break you? Not more than playing better will. But will it help you if you coordinate and stack certain abilities? Yes. That being said, don't worry much about it at the start, you can look as fresh as you want and fix it up later if you are willing to pay.

Ink resistance is pretty much mandatory for brushes unless you enjoy having all your mobility killed because you brushed up against a dot of enemy ink. I'm not sure how much of it you need now though. Its not really something you can easily test.
