well why not posted:is this actually true? People seem to talk about how it's aimed at kids but are they actually more represented in Splatoon than say, Overwatch/CoD/BF? You answered your own question there, regarding how I described it being designed.

The fact that something is aimed at kids doesn't necessarily mean that is the market that it finds the most traction in though.

I don't know for how young the game is aimed at, but it is extremely Japanese with how it's taking cues from Japanese urban fashion. I would go and say it has a wide appeal across age demographics rather than just being aimed at kids. God knows how old rank S+ players are.

well, like, I'm talking about sold copies of the game, not the console. I'm not sure why you'd need to asterisk something else.

I mean, even if it sold well without the console, it speaks towards the demand for this thing.

Bill Barber posted:Aerospray is easily negated by an actual offensive class who knows what they're doing (deaths create a huge splat that can really turn the tide in the last 10 seconds) which makes it all the more frustrating that you're not allowed to swap out your gear while currently in a lobby. Indeed. Any Splatershot, Blaster or Dualies will cut down an Aerospray user before they land a hit on you. Even the regular Slosher outranges it.

My hot roller tip for turf wars is to never engage and paint by myself without ever engaging enemy. It's real easy way to farm wins.

g0lbez posted:Stick with analogues! Us good stick users should band together before we die out Ha, "good" stick user in no way describes me  McCracAttack posted:You'll probably get a million tips on this but I thought I'd share my breakthrough. Handheld mode is absolutely unusable for me but I will try with motion controls to see if I can notice what you're talking about. I've resigned myself to the fact that this game will be docked-only for me  My biggest gripe about mocon is that I feel like Zelda did them perfectly with aim-able weapons. I can aim with mocons and then adjust with the stick in any direction I want. Splatoon lets me adjust left/right but not up/down which ALWAYS throws me off and immediately makes me feel uneasy. If they added up/down correction I feel like mocons would feel very natural to a lot more people. Also hitting Y to center feels kind of unnatural since it never centers on where I want it. I know it's where your squid kid is facing but I always have to correct my centering twice or three times before I get it where I want it. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Jul 26, 2017 |

I actually checked how the game plays out in handheld-mode, and was surprised how little it affected my gameplay. I was winning and losing like I would docked. It's definitely more comfortable in tabletop or docked mode, though. That Joy-con Grip is vital for long play sessions.

How in the ever loving gently caress do I kill/stop/not get butt hosed by a Griller. I'm pretty bad at this game, but running for my life and still getting curb stomped by a Griller seems to be counter productive.

My hands are on the larger side and the joycons in either handheld or docked mode are just slightly on the awkward side. I can do some games but twitch response goes are kinda rough.
