Do you still play Splatoon?

>inkling offers you some squid ink pasta>says she "made it herself"Will you eat it?
I hate tranny media. I hate tranny music. I hate trannies and Im tired of seeing them everywhere online and IRL. I swear to God if trannies just vanished the world would be 10x better. Fuck man.
>>723229043i think captain is kind of sexy
I haven't started, but I will soon.
i would if nintendo didn't jew you for onlineperfect game to play a few times a year when i feel like it but i'm not paying to do that
>>723230310you mean with the next spin-of game?
>>723228368I do, stopped for a bit, but came back after the spin off announcement
it's just one person image dumping here
>>723230480No, I got Splatoon 3 late>>723230553It's a shame, really
>>723228368no, the netcode sucksalso I'm still mad I bought a copy of splatoon 2 when i was living in japan, then I moved overseas for a few years and couldn't use it because it was locked to jp servers. fuck you nintendo, you assholes
I WANT TO GET OFF TACTICOOLER'S WILD RIDE
>>723230668>locked to jp serversUh… no it wasn't? It used region based matchmaking. I played on the japanese version while living in the US for three years. The only time it presented an issue was during splatfests with different themes for each region, then you'd only be able to play with japanese players. But you'd still be able to find matches.
>>723230598Nah serves as a good reminder about actual state of this seriesreally hope that Raiders is fully single player
>>723231281I'm just glad splash neo fucked off when squeezer got nerfedthe idea of this pov being something that contributed is disgusting
>>723231442yes you could find matches but the ping was terrible because you had to play with japanese players
>>723231442also it wasn't just splatfests, it was ranked too
>>723231442also "splatfests and ranked" are actually a pretty big proportion of what I wanted to play in splatoon, I dunno how you spend your time in the game but that's a big deal to me
>>723231786Completely false, I encountered 99% north american players in ranked.
>>723231915I didn't move to north america, maybe there were enough north americans with japanese copies of the game in north america to matchmake with - either way I had to matchmake with other people with Japanese copies of the game
>>723228368I actually discontinued my online abo. It ends this month.Nintendo won't see a single cent from me anymore
>>723231786pretty sure ranked was only ever region locked in X, maybe even just 3 X, otherwise you would be subjected to incompetent nigger westards every single time
>>723231973Dude you're a fucking idiot. I was seeing people I knew irl with NA copies in my matches from time to time. Also splatfests weren't a problem either when they weren't region specific, I was able to team up with people who had NA copies during splatfests with global themes.
>>723232152well how often was that? all I know is that in Japan I got hella matches and when I moved overseas I got fuckall
>>723232152region specific splatfests fucked you over 2 ways actually, the non-splatfest queues were depopulated because everyone was playing the splatfest, and the splatfests were depopulated because no-one nearby had jp copies of the gameshit was fucking lame as hell
>>723228368Splatoon 1 was peakSplatoon 2 was still funSplatoon 3 is pure anti-fun SHIT
>>723232207Overseas where? The matchmaking is region based so if no one in a 300 mile radius is playing then you'll probably have trouble getting matches. And also when? Splatoon 2's online basically died overnight when splatoon 3 came out, so if this was within the last three years then that's the reason why.
>>723228368Played them all.Intentionally burnt myself out on 3 knowing that after the Grand Fest it will all die down.Really interested in what Raiders might be
>>723232495The lockers were the most baffling part for me.What was the point?
>>723228368Not recently, but im planning on hanging up a new TV to play in my room in peace
>>723231673people still do that, it just isn't optimal (lowkey never was)tristrike is a counterspell, it's mostly used to break through other specials, so you don't need a weapon that can spam it, you can have a weapon that fights and then also has a special stored to stop the opponent from doing whatever they are doingturns out, the most optimal weapon for that in the current meta is sloshercooler's full special saver also majorly enables that kind of play, normally you'd want either something survivable or with a quick-charging special to fill that niche, but with no special loss you can have a relatively vulnerable turflet just consistently work towards its "no u" button and always have it when it needs it
>>723232984Silly thing to spend all the excess currency on.Not every inclusion needs a greater reason and the only thing I didn't like was the limited space of the lockers.Hopefully they let you do the same thing with a full apartment in the next game.
>>723232930I didn't mind the lockers, just a cosmetic extra, whateverWhat I did mind:>FOMO battle pass mechanics>The removal of the loss screen (you're forced to watch the victory animations of the winning team instead of the cute and soulful loss animations)>obsession with balance and e-sports competitiveness (the original was fun BECAUSE it was chaotic and unbalanced)>every other player is unironically GAY and so is their androgynous squid>try-hards in full squads communicating over discord now rule every play modeI adore Splatoon, which is why I hate what it has become
>>723228368No. Splatoon 1 was the only good & soulful one.
>>723228368Holy ugly batman, this is one ugly girl
>>723233413>obsession with balance and e-sports competitivenessif onlylook at the top 16 tournament results a few posts up, it's not balanced at all, with multiple overcentralizing things completely dictating how the game is playedit's focused on rabid spectacle, trying to replicate the chaos of splat1 but failing spectacularly because instead of letting the meta form naturally and tug things that are too powerful down like in splat1, ngmi decided on things he wants to see in the meta beforehand and tardwrangles them until they are so stupidly busted you have no excuse to not use them
>>723233413>I didn't mind the lockers, just a cosmetic extra, whateverIt was development time spend on shit that has not real benefit to you in the long run.You couldn't even see how many or who even liked your locker(unless this shit was shown on the stupid splat app).I agree with everything else you said as well, don't get me wrong. This was just a big waste in my eyes
I played the first one on wii u quite a lot. Are they still good?
>>723234721I quite enjoyed 2, but 3 is a departure from what made the original fun
>>723234658>unless this shit was shown on the stupid splat appMeant, if this was the case, i don't know. It was just badly implemented with the "liking lockers"
>>723234576looks mixed
>>723234783What's wrong with 3?
>>723234963see>>723233413
RAIDERSWHEN??
>>723234963Mostly shitty maps.Good snipers could dominate your team on almost every map.A lot of connection issues as well, but that mostly because of Nintendo in general.DLC was ass
>>723234963if you look at a game with effectively universal quick respawn and don't get ptsd from splat1 zombies, i don't know what to tell you
Post more fryes
Right, also the worst idols ever created
>>7232347212 ruined the series and 3 didn't fix it enough
>>723231285>>723231324>>723231363who are these from?
>>723235582The only good part about 3 was salmon run
>>723235781and it wasn't even good-good, just better than 2it could've been so, so, so much better
>>723235781The lack of the retarded bar pre X and no stinger already makes 3 better, cope
>>723236276anarchy is a lot worse in practice than splat2's ranked, x-battles are both too easy to get into and too grindy (because of rank decay), and stingray is a lot more manageable than splatoon 3's specials and has nothing on the sheer bullshit of something like trizooka
>>723236276The bar was stupid but the way 3 handles ranked matches is also dumb. There's no reason for anarchy and x battles to be separate queues. They literally disincentivize people from playing x battles because there are a separate set of badges for getting streaks in anarchy. The result is most people go back to anarchy after getting the silver x badge because there isn't really a goal to chase in x battles anymore unless you're willing to grind an insane amount of x power to get the gold x badge. Adding weapon challenge power to anarchy just makes x battles obsolete since now you have a number to chase in anarchy too.
>>723236276I was too good for anything below S+ and was too bad for anything on S+ and beyond.At one point i couldn't win a single fight in X and ended up with -200 to -300 points and since i couldn't get demoted, i was stuck there.That shit made me stop playing ranked altogether
>>723236469>has nothing on the sheer bullshit of something like trizookalolNothing is as uncounterable as 4 stingrays on one team while you have none at all. I sure fucking love having to run stingray and pray to every god that more dipshits have one and have any idea how to even use it which they don't >after getting the silver x badge because there isn't really a goal to chase in x battles anymoreThat's literally how it is supposed to work, autistic number grinding simulator shouldn't be enforced on anyone who just wants to play modes. Blame Nintendo for adding more dogshit badges to bloat playtime and ruining everything as usual
>>723237121You know you can voluntarily demote yourself, right?
>>723237121Which is why you use japanese region, early X is where all non-tryhards are. Westoid X is just obvious tranny smurfs (or not even smurfs but outright gold badge troons) in discords farming shitters for points and views because this region is fucking dead
>>723237297Yes, i think i did this once before i reached that rank again
I play MKW most of the time now...
>>723237736People still play that shit?
>>723237796Knockout tour is really fun desuMakes me wonder if Ninty got any new modes planned for Splatoon 4
>>723237165>Nothing is as uncounterable as 4 stingrays on one teamoh, there are many ways to counter four stingrays on one teamfor example, just playing the gameyes, they will get guranteed splats, and will force you off the tower for a bit, but guess what? they spent almost as much time as your respawn timer (especially if you consider that you have to find a place to hide and not be interrupted, and exactly your respawn time if they decide to do the funny and jump to spawn to ray you) and a full special bar to get one splat and at most half a special bar. great tradeoff. if it's a key target like a charger or a rainmaker carrier about to take the lead- nice, but it's a slow situational special, and the worst thing that can happen to a team is four situational specials. compare to trizooka that will quickly, suddenly murder you with no counterplay, then shoot off two more shots for collateral and proceed to get charged again, being halfway ready by the time you come backthe only reason to not run four trizookas is because cooler is mandatory pick on every single team, and also because bubbler counters zook and tristrike counters bubbler so you want all three parts of that rock paper scissors
Squids with dark skin...
>>723238189Squiggers
>>723237971>it's just a special and the worst that can happen is everyone gets their specialIt's impressive how you managed to type a paragraph that said jack shit.
>>723228368I may be the only one who prefers single player campaigns over multiplayer
>>723238430Campaign is never really that good.
>>723237971The only problem with zooka is that its splash damage needs to be nerfed back to 40. God only knows what they were smoking when they buffed it to 60 and even 53 is too much. Otherwise getting killed by a zooka means you deserved it. Keep an eye on the icons at the top of the screen and play around it when the enemy splattertard has a zooka ready.
>>723228368I've been replaying Octo Expansion, but the main game, then no. I just want that spinoff game
>>723238331it's a special that is not worth using most of the time, as the value it provides does not meaningfully exceed its overall cost, like a special should bemeanwhile, trizooka provides instant value in many more circumstances, fucks off when it's done its deed, and has the same "use the special in 3 seconds and start charging another one" of spla2n missiles, except in a special with nearly guranteed effect and not just mild annoyance and disruption that only becomes oppressive when spammed>>723238635the only problem with zooka is "you can kill anyone anytime from nearly anywhere">Keep an eye on the iconsyou're telling me to treat an active, survivable, pressure-unsensitive frontliner like a charger whenever they got their sparkly bits up? "avoid opponent when their special is charged" is solid advice and acceptable gameplay design for splashdown because splashdown is designed to have limited area of effect, but trizooka can just delete you with no prior notice from halfway across the map. no starting lag, very generous oneshot hitbox, and an even more generous mag dump mode that is 100% guranteed to get at least one splat because of its stupid splash damage. and that's before we consider all the collateral from that splash damage.s3 in general is way too fond of big damage explosions. the only blasts in splat1 that did over 50 damage were blasters and, of all things, seeker. nowadays every other thing just deathflags you. many things do 70 damage, and only four do less than 30, with two of them being shit.
>>723230107>Agent 4Literally who?
>>723238430raiders will probably be for you
>>723230107>Agent 3>General ManagerWasn't Agent 3 the new Captain in 3?Hence, why the player character becomes the new Agent 3
>>723237796more people play MKW than Sonic yeah
>>723228368>Let switch on my wifi>Computer stops connecting and won't reconnectI would if I could
>>723241926more people play 8dx than mkw
>>723244020>Game with 68 million sales on console readily available>has more players than game on a brand new console out for a few monthsThis isn't any kind of gotcha, people wait until a new console has ample amount of games to play before getting it, not everyone will immediately purchase the new one.Even then, we don't know that actual current amount of players on either game.
>>723246257>not all inklings are of the same agehag squids doko
>>723239932>but trizooka can just delete you with no prior notice from halfway across the mapI wonder what your reaction will be when you find out the charger class exists.
>>723243379You shouldn't be playing on wifi anyway. Get an ethernet cable.
>>723247096Chargers have a line that shows you when someone’s charged and where they are. You can get out of dodge easily when you see it and if someone’s got it on their team you can play around with it. Meanwhile with the trizooka it has none of that and you only know when they got you in their sights when they fire and by then you’re already dead or half-dead thanks to splash (then dead soon after because you’re too slow to escape and they don’t need to aim perfectly to finish you off)
>>723247096the thing with chargers is that a charger can only do charger things, can only do them after it charges, and only from charger positions, which limits its power and effect on the match, makes it trackable, predictable and pressure-able, and creates a lot of counterplay because of the flaws that come with such a focused design that has no alternate mode of functioningmeanwhile, splattershot with trizooka can stop in the middle of a fight, right by the enemy ink, say "lmao i'm a charger", not spend any time charging, send a giant middle finger your way just because he hates you personally, and quickly go back to using a fast and versatile main weapon instead of being stuck with a slow backline for the entirety of the match
>>723247096They should remove chargers too.
>>723247936As someone that had the unpleasant experience of playing against a top 10 x rank guy using a charger, chargers are just as bad. Trizooka is easy to miss with though, as it has an arc.
>>723250347>Trizooka is easy to miss withtrizooka has a skill floor, as you need to learn to adjust for its arc and deceptively big stage collision. but once you figure it out, it's much easier than playing chargers. you can go for harder shots that utilize its arc to hit behind cover, but even with just easy line of sight shots trizooka is already stupidly overpowered.
i never played it but it looks fun plus inklings in spats are rad
>>723228416idgi

i stopped playing once i realized nintendo wants you to pay to carry retards on your team

In the early and mid days of Splatoon 3 I could take triple gold medals on the reg, but now I struggle to even get one. This game has simply grown beyond me.
>>723282481We hate schizos, but we love /vg/ here. They still play Splatoon.
I used to play a lot on the Wii-U, hell I even kept up to date with the patch notesPlayed a bit of Splatoon 2 but mostly just for splatfests Tried a few games of 3 and just stoppedI can't play competitive games anymore, I don't want to let my blood pressure get too high
