This game's advertising was such a scam. They claimed to be doing a bunch of free "Splatoon-style" updates but it only got 5 of them.

so user what do you want from arms then?
people seem to be pissed with dlc or free updates.
I'm not interested in arms myself. but you don't make bait threads do you?

You need lootboxes or something?

???

>ARMS must really be dead if Nintendo is this desperate to push it onto people
>Following ARMS™ News
buddy

>Sold more than 1,5 million units
New Fighting Ip

So 10% of Switch owners bought this. Why are you so desperate shitposting this game OP?

it clearly says the nintendo news at the top of the screen

I imagine most of them are people like me who fell for the meme and bought it but haven't touched it in months.

>man, this game must be SO desperate if they update it to keep things fresh

except they're not updating it anymore. The last update was the last one.

>dead game
>getting updates...

If it was dead Nintendo will cut their losses and move on. It obviously still has players. I wonder when the fuck are they going to make a Mario party where you can play with random people online.

It isn't getting updates anymore, they already said the Dr. Coyle update from months ago was the last one.

If Nintendo has any balls, they’ll release stage themed wave modes.

what constitutes a 'bunch', exactly?
Is 5 only equal to a handfull?

...

Splatoon gets free updates every week. ARMS got 5 updates total. It was pretty disingenuous for Nintendo to compare the game's updates to Splatoon.

I knew this game would be a one-trick pony from the moment I saw the first previews. It's just a fighting game without all the autistic shit that people actually stick with fighting games for.

No more content but they can still do balance patches if they wanted.

They said no more content updates, but they had a small update since then that had some interesing additions (Tournament mode, New Gallery, more badges)

if you've played a game it automatically follows the game's channel if it has one

It got:
>12 arms
>5 characters
>5 stages
>badges
>Hedlok Scramble
>party crash and some events exclusive to it
>art gallery
>a mode that unlocks all arms for local play
>level 8 Hedlok
There's also an update coming out later today or tomorrow. Probably just a balance update, but it might include something like the gallery.

so you'd rather have dlcs and lootboxes?

it didn't get updates every week like Splatoon 2 does.

Actually, it's received 11 updates so far with another one coming very soon.

But the updates it did get were a bit more substantial than the Sploon 2 updates.

not really since Splatoon 2 gets a new weapon every week
the equivalent would be if there were new arms added every week

>Mario Party online
Years later and I still don't get this meme. Mario Kart and Smash Bros work online because their online modes come in the form of 2-minute matches that anyone can join and leave whenever they please. Mario Party requires up to four players to be seated for around half an hour. See the problem here? Sure it would be great to play with friends online, but completely random people? What if something comes up and a player has to leave early? Sure a CPU could fill in the missing player's spot, but where's the fun in that? Or would you rather have some kind of minigame-only marathon mode, but would it really work with players randomly joining and leaving? There's just too much to consider here. I'm sure Nintendo will eventually find a way to make it work, but for now you can just forget about online Mario Party, besides playing with friends online. Besides, lack of online is far from Mario Party's biggest problem right now.

I just want more porn

So what's the Splatoon equivalent of new ARMS characters?

I picked up ARMS again this last weekend after a long while. You can still find ranked matches, so it's not "dead" per se.

The only thing truly dead is its hopes of ever being taken seriously as a competitive title. It lacks the complexity and is far too different from most fighting games for it to be taken seriously, and that's sad because it outsold Street Fighter V.

Then again, Pokken Tournament outsold SFV as well, and nobody cares for it either.

>it outsold Street Fighter V.
>Then again, Pokken Tournament outsold SFV as well
This meme is only true if you're only looking at the PS4 sales for SFV

Arcade sales are hide to find

If you believe PC sales were at or even near parity with PS4 sales and would drastically bring up the total sales for PS4, you're crazy.

it's on PC dumbass

The ARMS top 8 for EVO Japan was pretty neat though.

>p-please buy it implied shilling
>already owns it

this post falls apart too easy, shit bait kys op

the post is on the main nintendo news thing not the arms one

SFV didn't sell well on PC either.

>A single ad on their news section
>desperate to push it onto people

That's not the point he's making

then what is?

I'd hardly say it's desperate, but ARMS is dead.

OP is a shitposting tard

the whole "reminder about our free updates" thing just seems kind of desperate, and they strategically leave out the fact that the updates have already ended

how?

I don't understand the hate for Pokken. Is it just because it has field phase?

Meh, I still play it during the events. Only thing I hate is the "cheesy builds" that focus on keeping you shocked all the time and such.

Either because he owns ARMS or follows the ARMs channel and then comes to Sup Forums to shitpost about ARMS

a different sub/special set hardly constitutes as a new weapon, and even then most "new" weapons are returning weapons from the first game.

They said they're no longer adding new characters and stages but it's still getting updates every now and then. Hell the game just got an update last month.

1) FGC elitists ( !Capcom = Trash )
2) NeoGA/v/ (Nintendo = Trash)
3) Pokemonfags
4) R/mustard ( not on pc )
No fanbase on Sup Forums

I do own arms, does that mean I am obligated to like it?

Buddy, we're getting an update tomorrow. At least try to be convincing.

I disagree with this. The footsie game in ARMS is unparalleled because of how many variables there are to consider. There's a difference between a skill ceiling and a skill floor, and for ARMS the skill ceiling is low, but the floor's very expansive. Characters are essentially blueprints to the moveset you give them in the form of ARMS, and when deciding what three arms you want you need to consider what elements will have the best synergy, what do you need to do to maximize rush damage, and what counterpicks will your opponent choose.
Mind games begin before the match starts, your opponent can see what arms are you picking on the fly as can you, so you have to be cautious about the two arms you decide on because your opponent will act accordingly unless they are confident in their "main" arms. Matches are fast yet calculated, ARMS is all about aggression and overwhelming your opponents whether it would be spacing your arms so that you trap your opponent in tower-mode Helix or cornering your opponent as Brass. The only way to guarantee a win is to mentally exhaust and overwhelm your opponent, and he will do the same, how each of you will do so is entirely dependent on you and what ARMS you pick. This is what I love about playing ARMS, everyone will have a playset unique to them because the arms and characters lend themselves to accomplishing that. Like I said, there isn't a whole lot of depth within the actual mechanics of counter guarding and interesting rush traps, but there's an absurd amount of variables in game, moreso than you'd see in other fighters.
If we were playing defaults, I'd agree that ARMS has zero longevity, but now that Tournament Mode is a thing which unlocks all the ARMS at your disposal, I couldn't disagree more.

Sorry you had to read all that
>t. rank 18 shitter

Is #3 the ones that complain about the game not having 700+ different playable characters?

No, how did you get that from that post

Yes

you're saying he's shitposting because he dislikes arms even though he owns it

Honestly, it's boring as fuck to me because just spamming projectiles works the vast majority of the time.
That, and the phase switching is annoying.

No, I'm saying purchasing a product and then claiming nobody has purchased it (to shitpost on Sup Forums) is retarded.

>They claimed to be doing a bunch of free "Splatoon-style" updates
source?

uhhhhh shuddup

thanks for reminding me why I stopped playing Splatoon

I still don't see the reasoning behind not letting you customize your loadout instead of depending on locked sets. There will be an overpowered set, one way or another.

owo what's this?

This whole "ARMS is dead xD" has got to be one of the most pathetic memes I have ever seen on Sup Forums.
And most reminiscent of the whole "Splatoon is dead xD" meme too. That ran rampant until undeniable proof of it having become one of Nintendo's most successful games ever.

Can't they just CADC through projectiles?

>getting mad at devs actually releasing free meaningful content
What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you here?

how is this dumb shit an argument

no it's more that their showing it on their main news channel

It's not, it's quite obviously bait designed to elicit replies from retards like you

reminder the OP is never actually a console war autist, but the people who reply usually are.

Please be more things to spend my coins on. Speaking of updates, it'd be crazy if they release 6.0 with a new character just before the eighth party crash so they don't repeat any character.

alright OP you happy with your dopamine-inducing (You)s already?

they try to make sure not everyone runs around with the same weapon. I was thinking about this earlier on and how it came to the fact that I still use the starter gun but with the rain super. Shit just gets way too op if I was able to customize it myself. Hence why outfits take so much to customize too

>Nintendo News covering Nintendo updates
>this is worth getting upset over

why do they need to remind people about its updates, especially since they already ended?

Clarity

...

but why on the main channel instead of the arms one? It's almost like they're trying to shill the game to people who don't have it

Wow a nintendo-biased news outlet shilling nintendo products??? Who would've thought.

>but why on the main channel
what

why shouldn't they? this shit happens even on other games, also advertising

I swear sometimes I don't get if Sup Forums is being intentionally dunce or are actual dunces

it's literally the Nintendo news thing as in it delivers updates to your news feed on your switch from Nintendo

Nintendo has to be the only company that gets flak for advertising their games on their own fucking advertising platform.

Welcome to NeoGA/v/

I wish they'd make a more traditional fighter but still use the ARMS IP. I like the character designs and lore with the universe but the gameplay is ass. Not the good ass either.

Why are you still lying about the updates?

...

You are so fucking boring jesus christ
>the gameplay is ass
Because you suck ass, not the good ass either.
I guarantee you that you stopped playing because you think the game is too slow and too defensive oriented. Funny how the developer made it clear how he designed the game to deliberately have a clear dividing line between shitters and pros, with the former being cowards and the latter playing the most aggressive.

Let me play a fucking arena fighter for once, there's plenty of 2D fighting games already, and if I wanted my 3D fill, I'd play Soul Calibur.

I'm not.

>Release incomplete game
>Release the rest of the fighters later and call them "free dlc"
>End it before a year
>Game still incomplete

Nintendo is run by jews

Then what is this

go fuck yourself with a broom stick handle

I'm trying to not get my hopes up too high, but it's hard.

user, they were the ones who decided to release the game before Splatoon like the retards they are. Because Splatoon came a month later, all the casual toddlers went to play it, memeing about how sexy the nigger octoling is and ARMS was left with a passionate fanbase.

You're confused.

ARMS wasn't incomplete. It was designed from the get-go to have content trickle down over time in order to keep players interested with the game long after its release.

Splatoon for the Wii U only legitimized this practice for Nintendo because it worked flawlessly.

struck a nerve there didn't I (:

user BTFO

I know. But that still its not free dlc. And the game is still incomplete when it comes to game modes

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they'll make the Helix clones playable. Brass and Coyle will be the next party crash, so that just leaves Helix by himself.

Spring man's shitty deflect will not be nerfed once again, and B&B will be zero buffs or a nerf for no reason.

>not free dlc.

I've gotten a shitload of content delivered for free since the release of the game and I haven't paid a dime. Neither has anyone else.
