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

If you didn't like the online gameplay in the first one then I would say no. The single player and coop are great but the online multiplayer is still the core of the game.


Lakbay posted:

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.

Thanks for the info. I might reconsider my options in a few weeks and see if I still want it or not.

Decided to throw money at gamestop and bought a Switch. Been playing Splatoon 2 for the last two days and i'm loving the poo poo out of it. I decided to train myself to use motion controls from the start and I think it's finally starting to click. Inkbrush is fun but i'm a fan of the the aerospray since i'm the only one who ever seems to want to keep our spawn inked.

I try to change up my weapons whenever I can. I'm still only level 8 but I wasn't planning to bring the aerospray into ranked and was thinking of something simpler like a shooter until I get used to it.

I should really get around to unlocking ranked. Been sitting at level 9 for days now.

It's just that every time i log in, Salmon Run is available and I end up doing that for the rest of the night because it's so drat fun.

Using the joy-cons independently with the motion controls is totally the way to go with this game, don't bother with the pro controller or putting joy cons into the grip.

I tried it with tabletop mode and it felt terrible, I lost nearly every game cos I couldn't figure out how to aim properly. Weirdly enough, playing handheld mode feels way more natural, but I still prefer tv-mode + grip. Maybe in the future I will shill out some cash for a pro controller.

Also I finally unlocked ranked (after Grizzco closed its doors) and had a few games of splat zone. I feel like i'm understanding this mode wrong. Is the aim to cover the zone in ink for the longest time, or to have your team occupy the zone the longest? I just stood inside the zone splatting people and avoiding flankers but I wasn't really concentrating on covering the zone with ink. Most rounds ended too quickly for me to really figure out how the winning team won.

Ink the zone to claim it for your team then stop the other team from inking it back to their colour. You don't have to physically stand on in the zone for the timer to tick down.

Ah, sweet. This makes a lot more sense thanks.

at the risk of tooting my own horn (:toot:) what's the general range on splatfest power?

i wanna know how high up the chain i am

I've been hovering between 1600 and 1700 mayo power with a healthy number of losses if that helps.

Only had 1 or 2 matches where I got 2000+.

People unashamedly posting their own fursonas for kids to see in a Nintendo game is not a good thing.

What determines the number of points you get for a victory. I mostly got 4 for a victory but I saw a 3 once and a 5 in one match.

All ketchup players in eu have gone to bed seemingly. Just had 3 mayo v mayo matches in a row.

I'm also currently on an epic losing streak. Haven't won a game in 40 minutes. :negative:

Are those splatfest results NA only? I thought they counted both NA and EU results together.

Either way, hurray! Mayo superiority!

I won't be able to play many games for eu fest today before it ends. I had a major losing streak before bed which probably didn't help Mayos chances. :(

Was playing around 2-3 am last night and got into 5 mayo vs mayo games in a row. That must be some kind of record.

Over 2k is real good. My highest is 1712 which I won't beat by the time splatfest ends.

It's the higher one that counts right? Not current?

Oh that's fine then. I thought highest power would contribute to the solo results.

Nope. Fest only. I think they told you that.

Why do I see other players wearing them? And I thought there was a message saying "your tee has been returned" when I got my snails.

Edit: okay after thinking about it, those other players are probably logged off since before the splatfest ended.

well why not posted:

I saw a drawing the other day which was a 3 point manifesto from the artist:

1) no more disconnects
2) group with higher ranked players
3) don't expect me to carry

You have to admire the ego.

I saw a post that was practically an essay teaching people tips about salmon run. Their tip to use the laser special to insta-kill the jetpack salmonids was actually really useful.

Got a pair of 3-slotted headphones with ink saver (main) x 3 completely naturally and it felt really good. I'm thinking I might add a slot to it and get a 4th ink saver later at some point. Are chunks the only way to guarantee what ability you'll get? I haven't looked into drinks yet but they seem a bit too rng for my tastes.

I might be out of the country for this splatfest but I'll sign up for team flight either way. Might get some time to play a few games on the day to destroy foolish invisibles.

It would be weird/hilarious if they had invisible ink and spraying the enemy teams ink just erased it.

It probably refers to the datamined octoboy files they found that some people think points to playable octolings.
