What went wrong?
A great game but with glaring flaws, typical of nintendo games.>fomo (catalog, daily win and gacha machine,>narrow maps>surging isn't really useful because of the lack of paintable walls>two maps per rotation instead of three>marker is an underwhelming sub>way too many specials>salmon run scale drops are low>can't trade sr gear for money like in S2
>>729622740Shiver too flat.
>>729622740its a fun game
>>729622740Tricolor was an absolute disaster and they spent so much effort trying to fix it.
Maps sucked for too longI also feel a weird pressure from the seasonal thing. Like even besides the catalog, I feel like I shouldn't play if I'm not going to commit to it for a few days because of how it drops your rank. If I don't play enough to get my rank back, then it will drop me again. I'm pretty sure that's what I did last time I played, I'm probably in A+ now and the prospect of playing lower rank matches I don't belong in for 13+ matches per rank is just not appealing. 3's ranking system sucks mane what was so wrong with 1'sEverything else is great, definitely the most refined the gameplay has been (maps aside) with the mechanical additions, the controls, the sound design, all that kind of shit, but I just feel like the above issue takes away from the fact that it's kind of a "pick up and play" kind of game given the matches are so short
>>729622740I can't give my scales to friends
>>729623687Was it really that hard for them to create support for a ninth player in games and make it a 3v3v3 turf war?
Not enough change? Too formulaic?I don't know, I can't put my finger on it. I just know something didn't work for me with this one.
>>729626625nintendos servers would become a third one if they tried that. then the squids would really take over.
Pandering to the mentally ill
>>729622740The trilogy trap.>Game 1 is good, but many ideas were left on the cutting room floor>Game 2 finally pushes all the ideas that got left out of the first game>Game 3 has no juice left, feels more like an obligation by devs who already did everything they wanted
It’s the Halo Reach of Splatoon when it comes to multiplayer.
creating a sequel where most post launch content is adding back in the content from the previous game is not a good way to keep returning players invested1 was good because every update was something new2 was fine but by the end of that games lifecycle it had its run
>>729622740Nothing
>>729622740I can't believe people tried to tell me for so long that this game was better than 2Felt like a massive case of sunk cost fallacy
>>729630215It is
>>729630215You are correct>>729630513You are wrong
>>729622740>Chaos wins>First trailer shows off desert punk aesthetics and an intro sequence to what looks like a unique campaign>syke the campaign is Octo Expansion again except way easier, thematically weaker, and written by a complete retard>Grizz gets wasted as an antagonist>Chaos theme gets abandoned and the DLC is more Order
>>729626739>nintendos serversLol
>>729630931no
I love splatoon 3 thoughever
Making salmon room at rotation
I wish they added a gun game mode.
>>729632118Gun game?
Will this boss fight ever be topped?
>>729632250Counterstrike's gun game mode where you'd start with the machine gun. Each kill would change your weapon until you got all the way up to knife.
>>729632271As a final boss noBut inner agent 3 is my favorite fight
>>729632271Grizz
>>729622740Bows are kinda bad.
>>729633908>grizzAn easier, underwhelming wannabe octobot king.It's not a bad fight by any means but it doesn't push you the same way S1's fight did, with having to contend with positioning and multiple threats all at once.
The real problem is that the game is more of the same but not as good.And by not as good I mean there are like 2 or 3 things that are a bit iffy. It really is the best splatoon, but you always have a feeling in the back of your mind that 2 did things a little better.I love the toothbrush.
>>729634501reflux is fun as fuck
>>729622740>playerbase sustained by fomo event>100ms input lag still wasn't fixed, splatoon 1 still has less input latency(roughly 50ms) than 2 and 3>smoothed gyro aiming makes aiming miserable for people like me who are either pc chad or wii u veterans>gyro aiming requires rotating the procon on the z axis which is stupid difficultI feel like i should have been addicted to sploon 3 but didn't because of ninconpoop's dogshit technical choices, iwata sama please come back, furukawa is digging a river(kawa) of piss into your grave with the goal of pissing on YOUR legacy...
>>729634501you're bad
Hey, there's a thread up! Bit late, but Merry Christmas!
>>729637585Worthless nigger octolingLike getting the mcdonalds toy you didn’t want>Verification not requir.ed.
>>729622740For me it was the shitload of bad maps.
>>729622740Maps are dogshit. #1 biggest reason and it's not even close. Locked kits doomed several good weapons to obscurityNew mechanics are cool but mostly a meme Grindy as hell, even with increased Salmon Run payoutsDLC was just plain bad, main story was not as good as Octo Expansion No automated Tableturf matchmaking queue
>>729637662lol calm down fagfox
>>729637585Merry Christmas!
SOLID GOLD, BABY!
>>729637872Was already concerning when half their selling point of the dlc was "you can use the splat 1 plaza"
>>729638018Probably not him, doesn't talk enough like a jerk.>>729638027And a happy Festivus to you, as well.
Aw come on, that kill was totally worth a gold.
I was going to stop and go back to playing forza horizon 5 but this rotation is fun so I'll do one more king wave
Bloody hell, I thought we were cooked on that glowflies.>>7296390732 fugs went by pretty quick so I also decided to do a third.
>>729639312>2 fugs went by pretty quick so I also decided to do a thirdIt took three shifts to get that king wave
>>729622740>Your mother gave birth.
Fuck that was close
GGs team.
Alright I'm done GG's gonna go back to being a racist in mexico
>>729640065>>729640129>>729640156Damn. I probably should've helped you guys behind me in those last ten seconds. Ah well. Still a really fun round of games, this was a hell of a way to break in my Christmas presents. Thanks a lot for the rooms.>gonna go back to being a racist in mexicoThat's my favorite place for doing racist things like going fast!
>>729640218>this was a hell of a way to break in my Christmas presents. Thanks a lot for the rooms.What you get?>That's my favorite place for doing racist things like going fast It's fun but the dialog and "story" is so shit it had to mute the voices and turn off the subtitles
>>729640484I got the thing that lets me finally play the game I've been waiting 26 years to play! The one that got its sidekick leaked months before she got confirmed. Forza has a story?
