I'm loving this game so much. I hope Nintendo supports this for a long time. Radix is my name in case you see me!

A sufficiently chaotic system is maximally fair.

ZeButler posted:

A tip for using Dynamos: Jump after you start the windup. It'll make you harder to hit, they can't really roll over you, and it makes your ink fly farther. Also, you have to be even more of a sneaky bastard with Dynamos than with normal rollers. Spend a lot of time hiding in your ink, and jump shooting at people. You should honestly not roll that often with a Dynamo, because it's slower than a regular roller, and takes forever to start up. It also empties your ink out very quickly.

I'm already so used to the Krak-on Roller's range and the spacing for it that I don't think I can unlearn it to try to use the Dynamo. It's just counter my playstyle. Glad other people have found a use for it though. I just want a regular roller with an Inkstrike... :(

The Dynamo is the worst roller, but rollers are bad people.

Most of the guns really do the same thing, the weapon selection is clever because it's sort of a difficulty setting you can opt-in to. There's one or two weird exceptions right now (i.e. the Nozzlenose) but generally the quicker a weapon is to fire between shots when you hold down the trigger, the more forgiving it is to use and the easier it'll be to do well with. There's a very broad spectrum in this regard, and everyone can find the risk/reward that suits their comfort level, but if you feel like matches are a little too easy you should try a slower gun and give yourself a little voluntary bump in difficulty. There's a pretty even risk/reward baseline and it scales up rather sharply the longer the time between your shots is, rewarding you for aiming before you pull the trigger and not so much afterwards.

Eh. I'm certainly fine with more choice, but one problem that arises with that comparison is that this is a team-based game. If you play poorly because you picked the 'hard mode' gun as it were, you drag everyone else down with you, even if they were using 'easy mode' guns.

this game needs a shotgun, and i don't mean flicking with the roller. i want a shotgun that literally blasts a huge glob of paint like 5 feet out. i don't care how bad that would be, that's what I want

As long as you pull your weight within your comfort zone you can usually make a meaningful contribution to the round, whatever that comfort zone happens to be. It's all just the difference between the Scatter Jr. and the Scatter Pro: they're both roughly the same SMG mechanic but one is a lot more forgiving with your aim than the other, and the other can splat in fewer shots if you can land your hits without a lot of tracking and aim-correction inside the slower firing rate. If one is overwhelming or underwhelming, you can move to something more or less forgiving. It's a good design to keep the game both accessible and competitive.

I personally think a charger that fires in a cone shape like a shotgun would be a nice fit and give variance to chargers.

The Luna Blaster's description makes it sound like it'll be a shorter range blaster with a bigger splash. Maybe that'll be a more shotgun-ny weapon.

no a blaster shoots a big ball that goes forward and then explodes, i want a shotgun. please pay attention.

a blaster is aesthetically closer to a grenade launcher

Red Bubble has some of those designs if you don't want to pay $60, just search Splatoon and see what comes up.

http://www.redbubble.com/shop/splatoon

The quality's fine, but I'm sure it's a drop from the $60 shirts.

The neat thing is that Red Bubble is print on demand, so you can get squid language on a purple tee shirt or a hoodie or an iPhone case or whatever if you really wanted.

Also, the mall is good for turf war, and Urchin Underpass is the best map for anything.

Now we all can get real Team Cat and Dog tees.

Also a great moment of team work happen today on Skate park. I throw a disruptor at a person on the tower only to find out that 3 people were up there. Luckily my teammate saw what I did and used her Killer Wail. Made me wish that I hit Booyah when she did it.

Nintendo to feel major heat from all sides after they try and explain that the game had only been coded for one specific type of black short-shorts.

I was wondering if it was just me but I had this same thing earlier as well, just all requests for a pants store, a hair salon or both. I don't know if there's a forum coordinating it or upvoting each other or of it is just legitimately a demand everyone wants. I sort of miss the good art posts.

People want below the belt customization, but all splatoons content is already made and the foolish people don't actually have any influence.

One month, actually. I've yet to find a game that didn't have enough players, take one or two freak occurences. And I've been playing this almost every day. Also since Nintendo is unlocking new stuff weekly, there won't be a lack of interest for some time.

and two game modes out yet. They are done, but Nintendo is holding out on them to release them periodically in an attempt to preserve the player-bases long term interest
. Its the most unethical thing Nintendo has done in recent memory, especially considering how well they handle DLC.
