Perhaps you too should be more accepting of their cultures

It's ok but really short. Pretty much a tutorial for the controls and various weapons.

It's five hours or more depending how good you are. It's good and varied, but somehow I feel the single player was better in the first one.

I liked watching my ELO drop 100 points across two matches because we were equally matched team wise; however, with the caveat that my team just super jumped into a death pit for 3 minutes straight. Never gonna break 1900. :negative:

I liked watching my power drop 50 points because of a goddamn connection error in the middle of stomping the other team with 30 seconds left. This happened twice. :argh:

I'm a Flight King now though, so I've got what I wanted. Gotta finish my shift at Grizzco though.

Yeah, I take it more seriously than ranked. People that choose the less popular option just for a higher chance of winning are lame too. It's not about the shells.:argh:

This doesn't make any loving sense, there's no advantage to picking the less popular side.

People think the less popular side will have better players, but the win/loss results have been basically a coinflip every time. And picking the less popular side means you have to win both coinflips.

Dear Splatoon. I want to like you, I really do. But when I play like a demon and still lose six games in a row because someone on my team drops EVERY. SINGLE. GAME in Splatfest so far, I do find myself wanting to punch you in the throat.

It's a series of small challenges but all it's really designed to do is teach you controls.

Yeah, it's almost like matchmaking is designed to provide you with a 50% win chance. Hmm.

I rebought the object shredder flipflops just because of that. They seem really good at area denial but you want to make bubbles close to each other because even if they're on your side they take centuries to pop individually

did nothing but stand around on the spawn the whole match. after a while all 3 of us were shooting at him on the spawn spamming "THIS WAY"

So what a little under 2 hours of gameplay? That's not too bad... though I don't often get winning streaks and my internet is dodgy at best. This game and the realization that online gaming is the future (10 years too late) is pushing me to get a real solid and fast internet connection.

That's an insanely good win/loss ratio I'd say it's closer to 3.5~4 hours to hit King/Queen

It's always a rotation of 2 maps and a new Shifting Station.
