Was worried because regular UPS guy didn't have my game but then he did a double take and came back with it.

Now for the last painful 4 hours of work

I've decided to socialize this weekend instead of playing Splatoon 2

Hopefully I can alienate all of my friends so I don't have that option soon

Bring your switch to the roof top party you're going to

Only being able to aim vertically with motion controls took a little to get used to. Using motion controls with split joy cons is terrible, though. I may have to try out the grip for the first time ever.

Edit: I'm glad this game just came out. I'm at a point in rocket league where I'm not gonna go up in rank unless I start doing drills and stuff. So time for a new main game.

I think if you move your controller like a big truck steering wheel, you'll be able to aim quickly horizontally with motion controls (at least that's what a video showed that someone posted).

How do you switch weapons in single player? Sheldon showed up and told me to borrow weapons from him in single player which would let me unlock them for multi-player but I don't see how to do that. His shop just tells me I have to level up in multiplayer before I can buy anything (I'm away from Wi-Fi for a bit so I can't)

You're forced to use a specific weapon in SP in some stages until you beat it once.

Hit + in the octo canyon hub outside of a stage when you get more than one gun

How do you actually get the prizes in Salmon Run? I unlocked the shirt and it's not in my inventory or anything.

There's a ticket booth next to the salmon run entrance in inkopolis square, when you get close to it it should have a "ask for bonus" prompt

Are you supposed to roll over people or get in the middle of a group of enemies and detonate with the Baller special?

Also how do you use the Point Sensor properly?

I'm guessing that's Grizzco brand's thing and why you get multiple of the same gear for bonuses when doing salmon run. It'll probably be more appealing to try to play salmon run for the chance of a better main ability when it isn't a tacky polo shirt with pocket protector

Finally, the manufacturer of a piece of clothing determines what sub abilities it can roll. Each manufacturer has one sub ability it favors, which is more likely to be rolled. Each also has one that it dislikes, which has a lower chance to be rolled.

Again, this is all based on the first game. Stands to reason that it applies here too, but no guarantees.

It's the same, even the Brand likes/dislikes are the same since it lists it on the SplatNet/Annie's shop

Also there's an easy to farm +50% xp ticket near the stage 6 entrance and a +50% coin reward ticket near the stage 27 entrance. Just exit and come back to octo canyon and they'll have respawned

It may be worth it based on the manufacturer brand of the gear. If the 3-slot version has a manufacturer that dislikes a skill you want (making it much less likely to appear) , or likes a skill you don't want (making it much more likely to appear) , then it would probably be better to get a lower-tier version that has a better brand.

On the other hand scrubs cost 20k no matter what so it might be worth it just to keep leveling 3 slotters

(I don't play salmon run religiously/win a lot so if you're swimming in money disregard this)

Been thinking of maybe getting a switch and this is the first game ive seen to really sway me. If I played the first Splatoon and didn't really love the online gameplay from it but wanted to give it a go in the second one, and also will probably mostly play by myself, is this game worth buying the switch for? tia

It's more of the same and the new coop mode currently has limited availability online so no. The singleplayer is fun but definitely not a system seller.

I only want to play Rainmaker and Tower Control but the game keeps forcing splat zones or turf war on me every 6 hours or so

Grizzco is pretty much closed for the entire week for me because of my schedule so I'll have to suffer through the modes I don't like

The reasons are: not wanting to split the queue too much and not wanting people to farm the bonuses

I feel like they're really flimsy reasons and the only other option is local play but I don't think many people have 3 other friends with individual Switches
