Good to know I made the right choice rolling with a boater hat and a sailor-stripe shirt.

I'm slightly against calling damage up as completely useless. OK, so it's not exactly making your regular gun any more effective as any other. However, there are two classes of weapons that benefit from it: Chargers and bombs. You can do some effective snap shooting with chargers, and splat bombs are more effective either in combination or not. Some e-liter users use both to great effect - which is why they're so reviled.

Anything that makes Chargers more effective is a bad thing in my book.

Is Comeback any good? I assume it works similar to Last Ditch and Opening Gambit, but I've never really noticed them doing anything. Its a shame, I like the look of the beret and the paintball helmet. Also the Octoling jacket, which has Haunt.  Really, the gear would be so much more satisfying if you had a slot for aesthetics so you could use the stats from a good item but still look the way you want.

It's not terrible, but there's better things you could have on a hat. Ink Saver (of any sort) would be preferable as it's active all the time and not just immediately after you respawn.

Doesn't it shorten the spinup time on splatling guns too? I'm usually on an inkbrush so they're prrrrretty useless to me, but it is unfair to say they're entirely useless alright.

i've been using the rainbow sneakers with Stealth Jump mainly to negate the horrible feeling of seeing myself get annihilated when i land. combined with good squid beacon use you're generally able to plow pretty far into enemy territory without too much trouble. as far as hats go, i think i've been using the Tenacity gas mask perk way too long. having your special bar slowly ratchet up is fantastic. generally for subtraits i like quick respawn and swim speed boosts. the ability to re-roll equipment's primary perk would be a nice one for future splatoon gamez, assuming nintendo decide to make another of these. they really ought to.

I did an informal test of that theory when the hydra came out, and I don't think so. That said, by "informal test" I mean "went to the test range, timed it in my head" so I could be wrong. As far as the usefulness of that ability, I swear I'm more effective with blasters when I'm wearing that black shirt with damage up as a main. Basically, it really needs to be put into the OP that stats are a nice bonus to certain types of gear and certain loadouts may be beneficial to certain playstyles, but you should feel free to wear what you like. Source: Me, I didn't give one rat's rear end about abilities until I hit level 35 or so, and even now I still choose my outfits based on what looks good.

I can only wear shoes with Stealth Jump but luckily the cream sneakers and the green rubber boots both rule and are easy to accessorize with

Seeker is my new favorite way to screw with those dynamo rollers. As a huge bubbler fan, I think the echolocator is a better special for the tri slosher weapon. It's nice to have a echo weapon I actually like to use. 6x special charge up + Tenacity is fun; and this special really teaches you to keep an eye on the squidling chart at the top of the screen. It's pointless to use it when either your team is dead, or the enemy team is mostly dead. BTW: Add me if you want, Logoth. I'll add everyone in this thread.

http://www.usgamer.net/articles/splatoons-free-dlc-is-coming-to-an-end-in-january us gamer dot net saying that the update in january will be the last free DLC nintendo develop for splatoon, aside from minor patches and tweaks. kind of a bummer, but good job nintendo for making a really great new IP and maybe my favourite game this year. edit: followed ya Logoth alf_pogs fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Dec 22, 2015 |

I've fallen completely in love with the Splash-o-Matic. It's accurate as hell and suction bomb rush is absurd in Rainmaker and generally useful in other modes as well. This thing owns.

I would straight up give them money for playable Octolings right now. I'd also happily purchase Callie/Marie/Octoling amiibos. Make it the next 3-pack, Nintendo, and you would make all of the money in the entire world.

Hell, Nintendo, just let me complete singleplayer mode with any of the weapons I own. That would do it right quick.

alf_pogs posted:http://www.usgamer.net/articles/splatoons-free-dlc-is-coming-to-an-end-in-january Yeah, they were saying (In the last treehouse, I think) that they had enough DLC to last until January. I'm a little bummed that they meant "no more free DLC" and not "couple of months' hiatus while we come up with new stuff" but eh. I figure that the amount of content we've gotten so far dwarfs a lot of what's available for other multiplayer shooters. They've certainly earned my $60. Hopefully, if they do go for paid DLC, Nintendo will be smart enough to keep it to cosmetic poo poo and not stuff that'll fracture the community like map packs.

As much as I want Splatoon to continue for another half-year, Nintendo probably simply wants that team to up and ready to work on another game for the NX. After the whole Wii U's fairly light release schedule they probably intend to get every team going so when the NX comes out there's a solid and continuous line-up of games.

Direct from the developer's mouths:quote:Nogami: The updates to game's weapons will come to an end in January, but we will be continuing the Splatfest feature in the game after that. quote:How long do you plan to release additional content for the game? Will content eventually go from free to paid after a certain period of support? I'm a bit disappointed, but considering it's a great new Nintendo IP, I hope Nintendo is able to take more risks with new teams, and I hope the same team that made Splatoon can go onto the next new big thing.

Yeah, I'm afraid we might be getting all there is to get by next month. At Nintendo in 2016, you're either helping finish Zelda Wii U, or you're working on titles for the NX launch in 201X.

It's sad, but thinking back I bought the game with 5 maps, not that many weapons, and turf war only(for a few days until Splat Zones released). To probably end it off we're gonna have 16 maps, a ton of weapons, and 4 gamemodes(along with way more gear, private battles, and squad battles).

I'm going to be extremely disappointed if those hints in the code don't actually come true. Agreed that this game will still be amazing for quite a while even without new weapons all the time, though.
