This really needs to be said. But I find it LAUGHABLE how the industry as a whole is trying their hardest to promote Overwatch as some sort of success story while people try their hardest to pretend that Splatoon does not exist.
Make no mistake, Splatoon is by FAR the superior franchise in every way imaginable. Not only is the game itself more innovative, fun and balanced, the world of Splatoon has layers of complexity and intrigue that Overwatch can't hope to match.
Splatoon spin off games are going to be a huge deal while Overwatch fans will be expected to pony up hard cash for costumes. Pathetic.
Overwatch >get really good at one hero >get banned for playing that hero exclusively
Splatoon2 >enter match >get disconnected because of shit servers >try another match >get disconnected again because of the shit servers >get banned for 5 minutes

>Things that never happen
No one would ban a player for using the same character over and over. That' s just silly.

24 hrs ban is laughable, but lets dwell on this. If you play ranked games specifically and are uncooperative as suggested in the response it's a no-brainer, same if you just run and camp in one place, "it's muh playstyle etc". Dumb people are dumb the end. Also he could just stick to normals and I can bet there would be no consequences for his behavior.

Does splatoon still have those shitty time restrictions for playing different gamemodes?
Bentley Nelson
Overwatch is ass. But Splatoon 2 is even worse.
Hudson Miller
It's now 2 hours but now instead of only having ranked and regular to choose from you can choose between PvE, Ranked and Regular
Brody Perry
it really isn't a negative you need to consider that nintnedo didn't do it with the intention of making the game worse; they did it because it makes the gameplay constantly fresh rather then something like just playing two fort for the millionth time

Henry Lee
>>allowed to access any event any time without shills trying to justify it like (You) So where's you argument against it? Look user, we can't all be autist who are okay with playing dustbowl for ten years straight. And don't pretend like you go to the other maps; I've played plenty of tf2 and know how it works.

I've had cysts on my ass that are better than OW
Benjamin Morgan
>Look user, we can't all be autist who are okay with playing dustbowl for ten years straight. Good thing there are 100+ maps to choose from, and people playing on all of them all the time. I don't need Valve to tell me when I'm allowed to play any of them. I can go to them at my discretion without being restricted.
>b-but limited time scream fortress maps All of which I can play on dedicated servers year round.
Random crits are majorly given to players who are doing good. So git gud.
Julian Rivera
I know you don't play those other maps. We've all played TF2 user stop pretending.
Carson Wilson
If I don't play those other maps, then how can I own a silver contracker, which requires you playing 50% of those maps minimum?
Sebastian Cox
>is trying their hardest to promote Overwatch as some sort of success story they dont need to try. A new IP was the most successful beta in history, its one of the best selling games ever made, selling 35 million copies in 1 year. Its a billion dollar IP from lootboxes alone. Whether or not Splatoon is better in your opinion is irrelevant, OW is a huge success story and other devs will try to emulate it and its success for years to come.
Kevin Fisher
probably agree, overwatch fanbase is a bunch of underage tripple A title buying faggots.

Yeah if you play overwatch your parents either hate you so much they bought you the game to not spend time with you
You have no social skills You're a hard blizzard drone that would buy anything they sell.
if you play splatoon at worst you're just a wapanese kid trying to interact with some japanese person who doesn't like you.

>not even 6000 hours Pathetic.
Lincoln White
Yeah you're right, that guy is an idiot. Splatoon doesn't even use servers, it's all p2p. Poor Nintendo can't afford real servers because they're tight on money, we should all support them by buying an online subscription next year.
Asher Kelly
This. Even though Nintendo has enough money to lose profit for 50 years and still end up fiscally secure at the end of it, they "might" go bankrupt any day now! we need to support them by buying amiibos and season passes.
Christopher Taylor
Why stop there? We should all get limited edition splatoon 2 empty boxes, to add to our amiibo collection.
Jordan Long
It's true. Splatoon 1 > splatoon 1.5(2) though.
Joseph Nelson
Don't be delusional, get some servers that aren't 15 tick and disconnection instantly first.

Let’s look at thenobjective facts here >overwtach has sold more than splatoon >overwatch has a better reception than splatoon >overwatch is more relevant at present than splatoon >overwatch currently has more players than splatoon Nah, sounds like Nintendo fanboying to me. You can’t really say which game is better due to subjectivism, but let’s face it, the facts are not in your favor.
Luke Brooks
Despite all of that, it's not going to go anywhere.
It's the TF2 situation all over again. The developers aren't going to want to do anything new with the IP once everything is said and done. We are already at the point where the game is only relevant because of lootboxes.
Meanwhile Splatoon is going to continue to explode into the multi media scene and go on to become one of Nintendo's big IPs. I'm talking concerts featuring the characters, I'm talking merchandise, I'm talking spin off material, manga and anime adaptions, the list goes on and on.
Christian Brooks
>trying their hardest
Lmao. They don't even need to try. It IS a massive success. Huge in comparison to your little Nintendo game. You can find it laughable when they fail with their Overwatch League shit, but if it's even remotely successful, I'll think of you and laugh.
Thomas Garcia
>Splatoon spin off games are going to be a huge deal
like what?
Lincoln Gomez
It won't be. Overrwatch HAS failed as an actual game.
Jaxon Young
Splatoon 2 should've been $10 DLC for the Wii U. Guess you've gotta have some other game for the Switch besides just Mario and Zelda though.
Kevin Adams
A Splatoon match can be over before the Overwatch match even starts, that automatically makes it better. Of course the real reason is that Salmon Run is a billion times better than anything Overwatch will ever offer.

Levi Davis
Splatoon doesn't ban you for playing how you want in ranked
Jose Stewart
Yeah it sounds like this person was playing competitive and absolutely refused to work with his team. I don't really have a lot of sympathy for people who act like giant trolls and then try to pretend all innocent just because the e-mail doesn't call you a faggot directly.
William Phillips
Thanks doc
Connor Evans
too bad you cant play splatoon on a PC
Owen Russell
Splatoon2: $500+ to play Overwatch: $500+ to play with 1million+ other games you can also buy.
Gabriel Campbell
come on man im a nintenfucker but this is retarded splatoon shitters are the worst part of the nintendo fanbase
Hudson Mitchell
I don't get what's appealing about Overwatch. It looks like a clusterfuck and not fun or satisfying to play.
Splatoon doesn't have servers.
Yes, corner camping: the game. Such a high skill ceiling.
Get a wired connection. The Switch has garbage wifi and Splatoon is a more demanding game connection-wise because of being P2P and having the turfing mechanic that needs to be updated to all players simultaneously.
And none of them are as good as the handful of games the Switch got this year. >$500 The Switch is $300.
Evan Price
>Splatoon is better than Overwatch You're just stating the obvious
But why would you, it's not a great game, people just like it because it's Nintendo
Henry Diaz
Perfect all your gear.
Liam Morris
The concerts are already real. Aren't the Squid Sisters the first vidya idols to make it into the real world as idols?
Jaxon Sanders
>500+?
Jayden Garcia
Why can't people just like both? That's what I do.
Parker Sanchez
People who are this bad at math shouldn't post about math
Noah Watson
Splatoon literally already has all of those things you listed either done or in the works.
Mason Turner
Not the first. Miku kinda qualifies as vidya. Lots of idol games and shows get live performances in Japan.
Jaxson Torres
It's only big in Japan because of shit taste elsewhere. Japs love it and are probably the reason it's still P2P. Game needs dedicated servers outside of Japan because we all don't live on a dinky island with a hundred million people and good internet.
Daniel Myers
>Despite all of that, it's not going to go anywhere.
Um, what? So despite the fact that Overwatch is still one of Blizzard's most popular IPs and is directly increasing their revenue and profit forecasts singlehandedly it's not gonna go anywhere. Meanwhile Splatoon is going to become a huge smash hit all while it has a relatively minor release.
This has gotta be bait, and if so congrats. But Jesus this is stupid.
Read the post again
Michael Rogers
Because of Lootboxes.
What part of this is hard to understand? It is making money because of spergs. If Splatoon were to do the same thing it would make ten times as much.
Honestly I could see the Animal Crossing mobile game pulling that much, but no one is going to go OMG BEST GAME EVER MADE.
Jackson Parker

its right there you brainlet

the game is not actually peer to peer not sure why people push this meme

Its because they literally HAVE to lie to make an argument against Splatoon.
Brody Walker
>try to play game >error: could not connect to other console(s) sounds p2p to me
Aiden Phillips
>Splatoon is a better game than Overwatch You say that like it's something hard to do.
Lucas Murphy
but nintendo confirmed so they even have regular server maintenance and the test fires are used to check server loads
Isaac Watson
matchmaking servers
Oliver Ward
no actually sorry the real world is different then what you want it to be
Logan Reyes
So if Splatoon 2 came out last year then it would somehow make up the 30 million+ sales gap? And I don't see how the number of Blizzard's IPs matters. Are they at an advantage because they only have 4?
There's over 35 million players for Overwatch. If an Animal Crossing game even sold half that much it'd be crazy. You realize the lifetimes sales of the ENTIRE Animal Crossing series still doesn't beat Overwatch right?
Colton Ramirez
yes actually
Camden Nguyen
no you and while we're at it: my taste > your taste
I think you're wrong faggot. Unless you just "have a feeling" that Splatoon doesn't use P2P
Easton Richardson
Market analyst here.
Actually Nintendo makes a ton of money off of Splatoon Amiibo. It really isn't a stretch to assume that they are making just as much off of that line of Amiibo as Blizzard is making off of Overwatch lootboxes.
Also Overwatch does NOT have thirty five million players. That number is inflated due to free weekends and Korean internet cafe's that register the same user hundreds of times as a different person.
Blake Wright
>Sold
I was referring to the mobile game that's coming out on the 22nd.
That is the kind of thing that Overwatch is competing with. Not Splatoon, which has NO microtransactions whatsoever.
Camden Baker
both games use p2p. this is common knowledge.
Logan Smith
you talk about just having a feeling and you site reddit forums and an unprofessional fan site as "evidence"
James Stewart
>It really isn't a stretch to assume that they are making just as much off of that line of Amiibo as Blizzard is making off of Overwatch lootboxes.
Ok except that's wrong. Unless people are buying amiibos multiple times for some reason then it's foolish to assume this at all. Lootboxes are a DLC item that has no end. Amiibos are a one time purchase and the game didn't even sell 2.5 million copies worldwide. Even if Overwatch has 1/4 of the players it'll still have nearly 4 times the amount of players.
Basically I think you're crazy and you're trying desperately to prove that Splatoon is as successful than Overwatch with none of the evidence.
Julian Rivera

I dont give a fuck
See how I press Enter twice? This is how much I dont give a fuck.

Not as successful. More successful. Overwatch does not have shit going for it.
Splatoon 2 is going to continue selling millions of units while Overwatch falters and dies.
Joshua Bailey
here you go faggot its of the same degree of validity as yours so I guess theres no problem here
Logan Myers
salmon run is the best horde mode ever
Gabriel Garcia
now THIS is how you argue on the internet
Hudson Reyes
Oh ok you're not serious. My bad for not noticing.
Oh it's ok sweetie, just because they shut down SplatNet and someone called you out on the internet doesn't mean you need to get so upset!
Juan Lee
your evidence is that there's server maintenance so clearly this means gameplay servers and not matchmaking servers because ________.
Anthony Price
Honestly, I don't even see many more Switches selling now that Mario and Zelda are out. Let alone Splatoon 2 selling much more. Maybe a small bump for Xenoblade but besides that, there isn't shit coming out. Everyone who wanted one already has it. Everyone else doesn't give a shit.
Zachary Hernandez
Kek. Just like how no one was going to buy a Switch because it was underpowered?
Brody Gutierrez
Not even him but matchmaking servers wouldn't require a load high enough for that to be a regular thing. Maintaining game servers is mainly seeing how many is need for each time frame but matchmaking requires a lot less computation so its cheaper to just leave a set amount and not have guys regularly check it. So yeah he's right.
Juan Brown
But everything worthwhile in the pyro update is free
Ayden Rogers
no he's not. any server would require maintenance and "server maintenance" is also a catch-all term for any kind of downtime for any kind of reason.
