Just walking around looking at rad miiverse posts in the lobby is great. I'm not sure I want to see the apocalypse that Team Callie vs Team Marie will be if they do it.

For people asking, the store definitely restocks each day-although it can restock stuff you've previously bought. I stopped playing around 11:00 yesterday, then logged back on shortly after midnight and the stock was different. Unfortunately this means that you can't access new levels of swag until the day ends even if you unlock them which kind of sucks.

Ok maybe I am just dense as gently caress, but I can't actually seem to get lock colour to work? I keep playing til I get the colour I want, then I lock it. Go into game again then I just always get blue or orange. What am I doing wrong here

Splattershot Jr is my favorite gun so far, though the Pro looks nice too. Looking forward to that.Evil Canadian posted:Ok maybe I am just dense as gently caress, but I can't actually seem to get lock colour to work?

I just decided to get the boy inkling Amiibo instead of the whole set of 3 since I missed it on Amazon. While I hope the additional content is good, I hope I don't have regrets of waiting for the 3 pack at a reasonable price

Because "Color Lock" is colorblind mode, they just gave it an unintuitive name. It doesn't let you pick any color sets from what I've seen, just the default blue/orange.

Since none of them were getting killed, I got free reign to just run around as quickly as I could and splatter all the floor while my teammates jumped on me. They can jump back to their base at any time. They leveled up a lot without ever learning that.

I think color lock just disables certain specific combinations that aren't distinct for color-blind players? The key is whether or not a combination has strong contrast along the blue-yellow axis. IE, the green-purple and orange-blue pairings should look distinct to most color-blind people, but the pink-cyan combo likely wouldn't (unless they have a less common form and can see red-cyan fine).  Or does it limit the game to just orange-blue and nothing else?

I just want to say this is my favorite Wii U game so far and hope that it does really well. I legit played it until my gamepad was about to die from a full charge and I've never done that before. The only nitpick I have with it is the lack of Wiimote+Nunchuck support, but I guess I should by a Pro controller eventually anyway. Plus we got lovely pre-order bonuses in the States (really want that squid beanie GAME, well, was going to get in the UK). Charles Martel fucked around with this message at 05:42 on May 30, 2015 |

I'm trying to figure THIS out: EDIT: It works! Battle Dojo only. After you "activate" the Pro Controller with ZL+ZR, hit a button on the Wiimote and hold ZL+ZR+dpad Down+b on the Pro Controller at the weapon select screen! DoctorWhat fucked around with this message at 05:47 on May 30, 2015 |

Earlier today an enemy used the Kraken special on me. Except they didn't know how to attack with it, so they just swam circles around me until it ended. It was adorable.  I wish this game had a replay system like Mario Kart.

"Oh cool, my team mate is using the squid beacon that lets you super jump to wherever they put it. I hope they put it somewhere useful." Teammate proceeds to put the beacon directly on the spawn every single game. I know the game's been out a day and people don't know all the ins and outs, but this was still frustrating to see.

I finished the single player and while fun that was way too short. Final boss was great but really feels like there probably should of been some more levels, no campaign should only be like a hour and a half.

Zaphod42 posted:In the demo everybody said that walls did NOT count. I'm not so sure, but I am leaning towards no rather than yes. I know this has been answered already but here's some extra info I found around: The score % is calculated based on overhead view, so only the horizontal component of a slope will count and naturally walls don't count at all. This has some minor implications with weapons that cover based on overhead distance vs weapons that cover based on traveled distance. This also applies to special meter, so maps with lots of slopes will fill out a bit slower than flat maps.

Man, everyone talking about all of the cool stuff that happened to them in multiplayer makes me want to start playing matches, but it's already 1 AM. Instead I played through the single player and all the Amiibo missions. The single player story is excellent of course. It really seems like there could be a longer full fledged platform shooter game made from these mechanics. Also, the final boss is definitely the best part! Someone asked earlier about what exactly the Amiibo got you: 20 Single-Player Missions (replaying stages with different conditions, Boy=Roller, Girl=Charger, Squid=Speedrun with Kraken and limited ink runs) Each mission rewards coins when completed, 19500 for completing them all once (After completing them once they can be replayed but only 100 coins reward each) Beating each Boss Mission unlocks items: First 3 are the unique outfit pieces Fourth is a new Retro Squid Minigame Fifth is a weapon reskin Overall I'd say one Amiibo adds 2-3 hours of extra gameplay (faster for the Squid because speedruns) on top of the rewards. The boy and girl were valuable for learning the Roller and Charger as well - I feel like I understand the mechanics of each better after having used them for these missions. Especially since you have to do stuff like climb tall walls with the roller and fight Octolings in close combat with the charger. The squid was probably the most fun though due to the Kraken. Being a squid is fun but being a Godzilla squid is even better! For people who have been playing online and buying new weapons and gear: with the Amiibo missions done I've got 58500 coins to start. How far will that go? I think I've seen in screenshots the prices for things are usually in the thousands. Edit: TTBF posted:That may have been me. I couldn't figure out how to get it to cause damage. You'd expect to just plow through people like a Roller, right? However, you have to jump with the Kraken to do damage. That and the loss of traction help keep it from being too powerful for multiplayer, I think. CatsPajamas fucked around with this message at 06:30 on May 30, 2015 |

The Roller owns so much. Unparalleled paint coverage (all the side paths and bridges just happen to be exactly the same width), instant kills on contact, and you can flick it with R2 for a shotgun-style blast that's also great for shooting over walls.
