Are you buying Splatoon 2?

Are you buying Splatoon 2?

Nope.

Already paid off my preorder.

When I get a Switch, yes

>Paid online
>For the worst online service

Of course, I still need to find a Switch though.

Yeah, of course.

>get paid on the day it comes out

>2017
>still preordering video games

preordered together with all three new amiibos

pre-ordered two weeks ago

>have to make payments on my car and i don't get paid for the rest of the month

You know it, baby!

Can you play any games in the demo right now or is it just the tutorial and lobby until the Splatfest starts?

gimmie xenoblade

well, paid online is delayed to 2018

Of course

Already preordered and I didn't even play the first one.
Strangely enough, it is the game that excites me the most after Zelda, even more than Odyssey.

I would, if I could find a fucking switch.

Yes, but I'm starting to think I won't like it as much as Splatoon 1.

it looks fun so i plan on it

don't have a switch, but still preordering it anyway

Eventually, i'll just wait for the switch exclusive to stack up and then pick a bundle up.

who the fuck owns a switch right now and wont get splatoon 2?

Depends, if they keep the 12.5 tick rate then im just going to wait for cod WW2

>can't even test out the weapons
trash

Zeldafags.

>releases next friday
>need a switch
>going to a convention in Aus that starts the same day and could actually have a pretty good time with it there

the question is, is it a 550$ good time.

If multiplayer is still active when I buy a switch.

Yeah.
I'm a bit curious how much it'll sell first week.

You can't do anything

Splatoon looked like the most repetitive "shooter" ive ever seen since the moment it was revealed. Never understood the hype.

>if multiplayer is still active
japan will love this game to death.. expect many japanese player

I preordered it on Amazon back in April. Moved end of June, Amazon decided to screw me over and moved my arrival date to August. Getting it digitally at midnight instead now

It's fun

it's fresh

it's funky

Already pre-ordered.

get a free prime trial and camp amazon

I considered it, but a friend of mine may pick me up one at Nintendo World.

it's fucked up

I booted up the platfest demo thing I was really surprised by how smooth and colorful everything looked. Pretty impressed by the way the game looks. Plus, the little into controls thing was fun as well. Actually looking forward to the splatfest on Saturday.

What side did everyone pick? Ice cream for me.

Is it funky or is it fresh

it's woomy

that's like asking if it's kids or if it's squids

the 1st game was some of the most fun I've had in a shooter, this looks even better so yeah

it's got some pretty great porn

cake

also how do I shitpost in the lobby

I was waiting for a shotgun weapon. Im going commando with that shit

Yeah if they patch it to be 1080p constantly. If not then I'll pass, I didn't play the first much anyway.

I'm getting it on the eShop.

it's up

Why is that?

aren't most shooters incredibly repetetive? most I've played have one mode only, and in the ones that had more modes only one of them were any fun anyway.

It's all about a wide weapon variety and getting the best score, splatoon has great variety

Go to the post office box

Blasters are kinda like shotguns

I was curious about that as well. Saw people hanging around with miiverse shit above their heads but didn't understand why.

half a million is pretty safe. 1 million attainable if you start counting downloads

Splatoon's maps don't seem to vary that much. The theme seems to be urban, gray environments and even if they're a different place, it all feels very samey

I mean, I get that the arenas can't be colorful because then the ink would be harder to see, but I really enjoy map design. Like Overwatch for instance, even if I can't stand the game, you gotta give it credit for really imaginative, colorful maps

It's going to sell half a million day 1 in Japan alone.

the variation in splatoons maps is pretty damn good, not any worse than I've experienced in other games at least. there being a lot of concrete in them is a deliberate choice like you pointed out, but the map design is good.

it sucked at release when there were like 4 maps, but it was fantastic once we had gotten a bunch of maps. 2 shouldn't have this problem.

well yeah, but not all of those will be physical.

Buying 2 copies so me and my girlfriend can play

Debating between physical or digital. Digital is apparently 5.5 gb download and I'll be able to buy it on the eShop 2 hours before midnight. But I can get physical cheaper through amazon prime. But I really hate swapping carts on the switch, it's a genuine inconvenience.

It would be a must-buy if it had some splitscreen support, but since it doesn't I can't convince myself to pull the trigger.

I'm tempted to see what all the fun is about, seriously want to play it.

so whos going to play all 3 splatfests?

I think the four hour cycle for maps was lame, glad to see it shortened to two instead in the sequel. overwatch maps are visually appealing but they play too similar to me. I'll give them credit for the hybrid maps and oasis, but everything else is forgettable. The new map felt like they jammed numbani first and hanamura last together and called it a day

I heard that the horde mode is a scheduled event and not playable whenever the hell you want to. Why the hell is it like that?

Yes, Team cake

For sure. Most excited I've been for a game in quite a while. I was addicted to that first one, and they look to have improved and balanced(bye bye kraken and bubbler) it perfectly. Can't wait to main my octobrush and hopefully add dualies and brellas to the repertoire

No. I own a Switch, but I do not care much for shooters in general. I'm waiting on MCOM personally.

It's scheduled online but you can host it locally any time.

It's already at the 1 mil mark in Japan.

Digital is still full-price so that doesn't really matter.

Why was that haircut not the default for boys in Splatoon 1? The Splatoon 1 haircut was so shit.

Brought my switch a few days ago for it.

I am not even sure if I should buy Arms so no.

Sure when I get a switch.

The only franchise of Nintendo I liked was Pokemon but now I also like splatoon. It's really unique with good designs

I don't know but it's up for 6 days at a time anyway

Probably to not fracture the playerbase.
Same reason there are still map rotations.

I may or may not have enough money when it comes out.
If I don't, at least I can keep myself occupied with Zelda since I'm not done yet. I just got my Switch two weeks ago.

That's not too bad then since I wanted to play the mode most with people locally. Still, I don't get why it's scheduled in the first place online.

definetly. team ice cream!

sadly need to get a nintendo switch first at the end of july

Nah, I'll be too busy with all those other Switch games. Of course I'm buying Splatoon 2, you inkhead! See you on the splattlefield, brother!

I plan on going physical for single player games since you tend to focus on them more than multiplayer games, and digital for multiplayer. Single also have more content so they take up more space. My botw cart has been in my switch since the day I bought it, waiting for odyssey to cone out. Meanwhile I can see myself switching between arms and splatoon for a few matches.

I'm new to the game, what's a good starter weapon for a fat slob with fat fingers and confidence issues?

yep

Map rotations also serve the purpose of letting you plan for the map/mode and select the appropriate weapon

so people cant grind all day every day for the special rewards

What sensitivity options are you guys choosing? In general, I feel like the gyro controls feels shittier on the switch than the wii u.

Nah.

Don't get me wrong, it looks like a fun game and has great music. I just don't want to play anymore shooters. I'm tired of shoot. I'll just stick with Mario Salt 8, Disgaea 5, and Puyo till bing bing yahoo comes out.

of course.

Splattershot Jr if you don't feel like aiming and want to ink shit. Splattershot if you want a solid all around gun. Rollers if you're really lazy and like to sneak up on people

Don't bother with ARMS, But you can't go wrong with Splatoon

Is the ink brush returning? I wonder if they are making any changes to it. It always felt really fucking weak, but it was my favorite weapon.

I'll probably get it after trying the demo. It looks fun, and I missed out on the first game. I can't stand the player character designs though. There's something about the legs and oversized shoes that's distractingly unappealing.

That problem was entirely remedied by the DLC. Ancho-V, Mahi Mahi, Triggerfish were all creative and varied, to name a few

probably because I own a switch and literally no game besides zelda has been worth it at this point, and there's no other games coming out this summer
i wouldn't buy it otherwise, splatoon 1 was fun but had that fucking AIDS map rotation system and got old fast

Already preordered. Pretty excited for it

Should I get a switch or wait till it goes back to normal price?
