I submit that you took that baseball, stashed it in your unusually large vagina, and walked right on out of here!
I can't wait to get home from work so I can focus on my second (and more important) job at Grizzco.

while they tweaked how salmon run pay grades work between e3 and launch, I have to wonder how bad profeshional game journalists are at splatoon

quote:

Following our triumph at 5%, we wanted to put Salmon Run's difficulty to the limit. The Nintendo representative giving our demo said that 40% was the highest difficulty people on the Nintendo E3 team could beat. We decided to set the difficulty on 100% just to see how overwhelming it can get. Right from the start, a huge group of blindingly fast Salmonid creatures unlike anything we saw in our 5% run swarmed us and annihilated our entire team. The image you see below is a screenshot from one of our phone's stopwatch app showing how long we lasted.

they lasted 25 seconds

I mean, every time I've seen a new kind of wave pop up it was a surprise, and I had to figure it out with the help of teammates who had already seen it, that's not too surprising to get blindsided by glowflies on a second play of the mode ever

Rarely, but just sometimes, you manage to clear the center on your own. You shout "to me!", but nobody shows up. Not until an enemy trio spawns at once and fall on your rear end.

Got to Overachiever in Salmon Run and I now feel fine with declaring it to easily be my favorite shooter PvE mode. It fixes my main issues I have with those modes, enemies never get bullet spongy and the sessions never last to long.

Also, don't go deep into enemy territory to ink when we don't have control over our own area you dummies. They'll spend way less time and effort repainting that area then you'll spend getting back over there. Ambush from behind or something if you're already over there but don't stick around.

They should've made these Splatfests run on Splatoon Wii U too at the same time as the Switch

Not that it's a huge deal but it would be cool for the people who haven't made the leap yet

They kept me coming back to that game, seemed like every other splatfest I'd play a bunch for the weekend, remember why I loved the game and then play a few games of ranked every day for the next month. I'm looking forward to doing the same with this game

I wish the people punching in these dithered posts would bother to make sure they look nice. A lot of them are just way too noisy and would benefit from better contrast management or a little stylistic license. Now that the "Whoa look what I can do" novelty is wearing off I expect a higher caliber of machine-generated pixel-posting.

Most of them don't remotely know how to alter images beyond "the website said use photoshop to convert to 3index color whatever that means"

So yeah

Chargers are bad in turf and areospray is bad in ranked but you can do well with those even in those modes if you're good enough.

Just had a match where someone was idling. Not at spawn, but on the other side of the map. Eventually they started moving, but at the end of the round (we lost of course) the player scored a whopping 18 points using the ink brush. I don't even know what was going on. My only guess is they did a super jump and had no idea how to close the map and just stood around.

I don't think I'm awful at this game but I have like a 40:60 win rate. I'm usually in the top 2. I think the game hates my squid's dumb ugly beanie/dress shoe combo. I mean I sure do


Edit: I got hiking shoes and puffy vest, all has been rectified

Y'know, there are multiple bosses per round of Salmon Run. It's really common to end up with more eggs than you need in each run.

So don't stand at the edge of the map guarding one or two loose eggs shouting "THIS WAY" while everyone else has to fight the other bosses

Chargers are glorious in Turf Wars... The amount of space you can cover with one shot adds up over time, and its stopping power is great. I unlocked the one with Ink Wall sub and the Bomb Rush special. It's amazing, don't think I ever get under 800 base using it.

Scrubbing it after it gets 1 level is the fastest way to get ability chunks.

I'm kinda starting to hate this game now because of ranked mode. I am SO loving sick of grinding up matches with teammates that have zero map awareness whatsoever. Just let me play with people who aren't idiots already, for the love of god. I can't do grinding up 3 separate modes individually, this is hell.

Even at B rank it feels like 90% of players have only bothered to learn ONE route through each map to the enemy base. There's at least two if not more on every single map, by design. And yet, even if the guy carrying the rainmaker goes one way and you can see the icon telling you "he's over there" they will just continue to go off on their own and race to the enemy base the only way they know how. Its so loving frustrating.

Turf war is chill but feels less exciting than objective modes :( game needs a better party system
