I like it but I’d rather would have gotten Saltspray Rig or Urchin Underpass back first.

I found out what the actual worst feeling in Salmon Run is today; last one alive, quota met, 5 seconds on the clock. Everything depends on me. Got shoved into the water by a loving smallfry :cripes:

Last time they added a new map it was in rotation for like 30 hours straight. I wonder if it's because it's a returning map, they aren't leaving it out there for so long, because they figure people are already familiar with it?

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
Kelp Dome Splat Zones is so loving awful. It might beat out Moray Towers as the worst Splat Zone map in the game. It's like every single problem I have with Splat Zones rolled into one map. The team that gets ahead pretty much stays ahead since it's nearly impossible to retake the zone in a sensible amount of time. And if a long range weapon happens to take control of the center, you are pretty much getting nowhere near the zone for the rest of the match.

Kelp Dome layout. A bit smaller than the original, corner areas are significantly different with extra entries.

Actually when manta maria was released it was in the first ranked rotation then was absent for the next two ranked rotations

One thing I like about Kelp Dome is the fact Curling Bombs work great with all the long corridors and cramped areas. Keeps squids on their toes.

This whole thread has been raging at the people who don't want Saracen invasion to their homes

Perhaps you too should be more accepting of their cultures
I might just skip the random weapon rounds from now on. Half of the games gave me the Gootuber, in few games I had it on both round 1 and round 3. What an incredibly worthless weapon. Never got the Grizzco Blaster and I don't want to smash my face into the loving tuber anymore in hopes that I get to try it since I got both superbonuses already.

Also somehow people still don't know how to do Grillers. It's basically guaranteed loss unless I get a weapon that can solo one because my teammates will without fail somehow manage to get ran over by a Griller moving back and forth between three squares or die to smallfrys.

Funny bug, if you are in middle of egg pick-up animation and the host DCs, you can't pick or deposit eggs for the rest of the round.

I have a elgato game capture HD, it can do 60fps up to 720p so it's great for Switch capture. I just looked and I guess elgato doesn't sell it anymore, it was their cheapest option for capturing stuff.

I'm enjoying this Salmon Run but I've mainly been lucky with weapons. Worst I've had is the Dynamo Roller, although that's mostly due to me personally being bad with it

Yeah this Salmon Run is really making me own up to the fact that I'm bad with certain weapons. I can dig it.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Had one match where I had the Goo Tuber, and the others had the Dynamo Roller and Splatterscope. The poor bugger with the Splatling Gun couldn't save us.

At least I'm back to Profreshional again.

The dynamic ink effects are relatively heavy on the processor, and you gotta render that poo poo separately for each player on the one console.

Yeah, the lack of download play, or at least a multiplayer only app that you can download from the eshop, for every game that is not Namco Museum hurts my soul.

Not as much as the fact that you can't copy your save data to the SD card to use on another console though. I just don't understand the reasoning behind that one, like at all.

Unless you're talking about split screen multiplayer on the same console, in which case no, that would be a terrible idea for this game.

Well they should've fundamentally changed the game to change my needs.

I've only disconnected twice out of a few hundred hours, with a minimal number of games having noticeable lag. It must not play nice with specific settings or providers or something, with how much I see other people disconnect.

This Salmon Run is the best Salmon Run, I wish it was randomized every time. Way better than me looking at the weapons and going ehhhh, I don't want to play with these. I go in and we get what we get.

Well there's a real chance it couldn't handle rendering both, but also you'd have to choose between seriously narrowing your field of vision, which would be disadvantageous to your team, or having a bunch of dead space on the screen.


It's always nice to have more features and options but I can understand why this was a low priority

Like Flowers said, restricting your field of vision in a game that's as reliant on situational awareness and attention to detail as this one would just make for a miserable time.

Interestingly, my experience is opposite. I get a ton of disconnects in ranked and turf war, but never in salmon run.

Played some Salmon Run with friends, one of whom is Overachiever (I've never gotten past Part-Timer cause I don't play for that long/am bad) and drat that poo poo was intense. Also I'd never seen that round with the cannons before but I loving love it.

And this is why I'm terrible at this game, I need to open my eyes more.

Advice question: When in Turf War, is it better to advance with a teammate for safety, or do you split up to cover more ground? I generally figure in the other modes it's much better to stick together but in Turf War you should go solo.
