I went to Best Buy yesterday to try the demo, and this game is just plain fun to play, even solo. The controls take a bit of getting used to, but the gameplay is completely fluid and intuitive. I really hope they have a time trial mode for the individual stages -- it's really satisfying to blitz across the stage to the objectives.

Unless I've missed it, there really isn't one. Though maybe I just have to ask Cuttlefish on the map or something.

I am so hyped by the hype machine that I'm seriously considering buying the disc and eShop version. Please tell me this is a bad idea.

Why on earth would you do that like what does buying 2 copies even do for you do you have 2 wiius?

I'm reasoning it that I'll give away the disc copy to some close acquaintance sometime in the near future, so I could continue using the digital version. Hence I'm spreading the gospel of Splatoon in the process. I'm so messed up by it, I don't even know if I'm a boy or a squid.

I'm going to make a boy squid. They're going to be really underrepresented and I want to do my part.

I am going to make a girl inkling, because I wanna be as cute as possible in this game. Also I might every now and then switch to the boy inkling to try and be a different kind of cute for a bit.

The good news is that my Splatoon has now shipped, the bad news is that I'm going to have a university thing to work on over the weekend and my self-discipline is terrible.

We need more Ink puns before this game's hype dies out in a week and everyone forgets about it.

Do you really ink that will happen? From what I played, it seems inkredibly unlikely that the hype will die that quickly. I'd give it until at least the twelfth. I think something is coloring your view. ... sorry, I'm bad at this. I'll ask my boyfriend when he gets up, he's better at puns.

Girl squids have better "hair" but I will still probably do a boy squid.

Not sure I see the point of the .52 gal since I don't speak Japanese. Like some kinda magnum? Looks like it fires slow and doesn't do much for paint, so does it just do a ton of damage to players or something? If you can one-shot rollers with it then that's totally useful. If not I don't see why you wouldn't use a faster firing gun like the splattershot Jr. Rexroom posted:I am so hyped by the hype machine that I'm seriously considering buying the disc and eShop version. Please tell me this is a bad idea. Its really dumb but that's what I did for Bloodborne

Are you squidding me? You really ink this game's hype is gonna die out? This game is a ten out of tentacles!

Well, I made up my mind: I'll just buy the eShop version, since I'll probably play it anyway until they switch off the servers for good. (Also 10% bargain bonus.) But to compensate I preordered a pair of Splatoon-amiibo(s?).

Zaphod42 posted:Not sure I see the point of the .52 gal since I don't speak Japanese. I think where it potentially shines is when you use it with the ink curtains(?) - since you can shoot through it (but not your opponents) it works as a defensive close-range area control weapon.

I have never seen a man play Splatoon so bad. Somewhere in the video he seems to figure out/explain what a demo is and learns that Splatoon is not about the kills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7tCKWLY0Os

.52 Gal looks like a weapon that sacrifices some coverage abilities for just pure killing power. With it's sub and special it strikes me as a weapon thats good at keeping territory more than reclaiming it. The splash wall seems really situational right now, but I'm guessing it's very good in splatzones for just stopping the advance of the enemy team.

Ah, I kinda want it, but I got the Zelda Wii U and some of the Zelda graphics would show in the empty bits and look bad.

It's really funny seeing Nintendo actually promote a game. Hell, I think they've done more for this than anything released in the past 10 years.

Yea they are REALLY hitching some wagons to squid funtimes, good thing almost every preview I've seen has been 'aaaah this is great' I guess.
