I for one like that even people like me who can't aim for poo poo in console shooters will still be valuable contributors to the team effort. The art style is cute and it looks like there are a lot of mechanics that should keep it interesting. Does anyone know if the various weapons like the ink nuke, roller, or bazooka things that you pick before the game or are they picked up during a match? Man, after this E3 I'm basically out of excuses for not owning a Wii U. And if they allowed custom ink colors I'm certain you'd be seeing a whole lot of brown.

PrBacterio posted:Ill say once again that, they do absolutely need to include dark underground or night-time levels with neon glow-in-the-dark ink, though That would be great. There are actually bioluminescent squids as well, so it would fit perfectly along with looking really cool. chumbler fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Jun 13, 2014 |

Did they say what kinds of skills the items you unlock give? I'm guessing probably some things like ammo capacity or squidding faster in your team's ink.

I hope if Nintendo still remembers Splatoon when winter rolls around that they sell squid hats. I'd buy one and then never wear it in public because I'm a huge goon and it also doesn't get that cold where I live.

Game owns, but it's really apparent to me that I can't play console shooters for poo poo. I'm bad enough at them that the motion controls are honestly a better choice. Or picking roller and holding forward. There's a surprising amount of stuff to wrap your head around while also focusing on not getting shot up. It's easy to forget that you're also supposed to be turning the map into a work of art.

Technogeek posted:I'm getting a W+M1 Pyro feel off the Roller: it has a pretty low skill floor, but something tells me the ceiling isn't much higher. That's likely the case with basic operation, but that's why the roller is also a great at map coverage and they made the air burst roller. Also its sub and super weapons are great.

I hope they have some night stages planned, because the place being lit up by bioluminescent squids and fluorescent paint would look so good. Why is Nintendo the only company that seems to remember what both color and art direction are at the same time?

Trasson posted:Also, I absolutely love that you get a crosshair change if you're hovering over something in range you can hit. Makes things so much easier. poo poo, I never even noticed that. Getting used to the ranges has been probably the hardest part for me, after trying to learn console shooter controls because kb+m has spoiled me. Regarding the actual online bits, I had a few non-starters from people not connecting, and one really bad instance of lag or desync, but otherwise it felt really smooth. chumbler fucked around with this message at 21:22 on May 9, 2015 |

I hope they add more hair styles for the boy, since the top knot is kinda lame. I guess there's always hats, though.

Anyone want to take a stab at what arbitrary rules Serious Competitive Splatoon will no doubt have? Only the basic equipment is the obvious first one.

You know, I wonder now of they'll restrict clothing based on squid gender. I could see it going either way, unless they've already confirmed it in one direction or the other. If they're shooting for a kids market they probably don't want to risk upsetting parents, but on the other hand they might be wary of flak similar to that Tomodachi Life thing.

Looks like their stress test finally succeeded. Hopefully this gets them what they need for a smooth launch. In the one round I played I have determined that I still cannot use the charger for poo poo. Think I'll just wait until the shooting range in the real game to get a feel for it.

That 10 year old girl is approaching the game with more maturity and tactics than 90% of the 40 year old men who will be playing it.

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.
