Same. But with my local Swedish retailers.
I ended up having to pay a higher price just because I couldn't decide on getting a physical copy or a digital copy.
Ultimately I got a physical copy as I've done with all the other games. But Raiders is probably a game I'll wish to play often, even in-between other games. So I considered digital. And I considered it for too long...

I'll be starting on Tourist difficulty.

Seriously though, how difficult is shooting in these games? I played Cyberpunk with gyro aim on Switch 2, am I sufficiently trained?
>>
>>743694778
People who use gyro controls have always had nice things to say about Splatoon 3's gyro controls.

I wouldn't know, I use sticks.

>>
>>743694778
This is the series that really put gyro aiming on the map. Arguably Splatoon 1 still has the finest gyro aiming implementation of any video game to date. There's no aim assist but it's compensated by giant projectile hitboxes and generally rapid fire. But using chargers is actually very demanding on accuracy. Still gyro aiming is going to feel way better here than Cyberpunk, because of 60 FPS alone.
The controls will probably take a minute to get used to. If you turn gyro aiming on, the right stick is limited to the horizontal axis only. Feels weird at first, quickly becomes second nature after a while.
>>
>>743694778
Haven't played 2077 yet but the general recommendation for Splatoon is to set your stick sensitivity quite high, using the sticks to turn and the gyro to actually aim at enemies.
With that being said, 90% of the salmonid enemies just path directly towards you to perform melee attacks so i expect this to be a very smooth learning experience for gyrolets. You're not going to be expected to perform any tricky aiming until later in the game. From what we've seen Tourist looks like turbo baby mode so i'd go with Raider difficulty, at least to begin with

All "live" announcement videos are actually prerecorded at the beginning of the year and slowly dripfed.

I am somewhat interested, despite never playing a Splatoon game before.
Which game is this comparable with?
>>
>>743698896
It’s got the structure of a looter shooter. Kinda like Destiny, but not live service slop that steals parts of your game from you
>>
So the Power tank is clearly the best one, right? I can't imagine many scenarios where you wouldn't want the ability to kill things faster. Maybe if there's too many smaller enemies all spread out, there's no Boss Salmonid, and you're on a strict timer, but that's a very contrived set of circumstances that can probably be mitigated by multiplayer anyway.
>>
>>743698865
Maybe it’ll underperform in the west, though I doubt it. Japan it’ll likely sell >1.5 million in its first week, physical and digital combined
>>
>>743699112
If you can’t make it over to the longer range threats, you could be fucked. And arenas and salmon play a huge role. We’ve already seen steel eel spam levels, and most power gadgets wouldn’t do shit. It’s not that simple

Quake X Left4Dead X Mario

Kind of. I mean. The game is pretty unique. So I am unsure of how to answer.
A lot of the actual shooting mechanics and gameplay are surprisingly oldschool in their execution though.
But then all the Salmon Run stuff (which Raiders appears to be decently inspired by) is a horde mode kind of shooter game.
But then there are all the more uniquely Splatoon mechanics. Like how you you can turn into a squid. Swim real fast through ally-ink. Even across walls. But enemy-ink will slow you down and impede your movement.
Reloading is also done by submerging in ink. Combining movement and territory control with shooting and reloading.


I'm surprised the game didn't get a demo on the eshop though.
Granted that they weren't typical demos, but all the other Splatoon games had Network Tests that allowed them to test the netcode while allowing people to try out the games.
Maybe Raiders doesn't need a Network Test but a demo could have been real cool. And if nothing else, Starfox's Demo and Yoshi's demo. And all the other demos as of late. Just leaves me a bit surprised.
I'm all in though. Game looks amazing.

A little bit of MVM in TF2, but even then it's pretty different. You shoot at a billion salmonids while collecting eggs and tossing them back to the basket, and elite salmonids with unique gimmicks will begin to swarm you and try to get your squid pussy.

It's extremely addicting and the best parts of Splatoon 2 and 3

Is this the kind of game where you put it back on the shelf after the story or the type where you keep playing for hundreds of hours after? I watched the overview video and some reviews but they don't really make it clear on that. It LOOKS like it's structured that way but again it seems kinda vague. Reminds me of MH/GBF Relink/DRG with how its mission-based and focused on loot so you can clear kill things faster.

If it's a one-and-done thing then I'd get it physical, digital if it's the latter and you get the itch to drop in often.
>>
>>743720446
It seems like it wants to hook you for a loot grind and build autism, considering the hint of endless dungeons, the harder variant of every mission with a separate loot drop, the rng weapon drops with perks, etc. Dunno how well or long it will hook people in practice, but I think they’ve built it in a way to try to make it compelling to grind for different builds for a long time

don't ask why but i got curious about squids and octopi, with my findings, i believe we can safely assume squidlings and octolings have buttholes.
They eat, they dont appear to have the siphons that squids and octopi have. So based on the fact they wear spats, they reinvented clothing to do that same as humans. neat

Splatoon's pretty niche in the west by comparison and a lot of the players in the west are bluesky types. The rest tend to switch their plaza region to Japan to get all the nice art instead. (You can do so by going to the lobby terminal, and changing Splatfest region to Japan. This doesn't impact matchmaking, it only has an effect if there's a regionlocked Splatfest which haven't happened in ages)

>Somehow, with this setting, it started to feel like we were unfairly picking on the Salmonids, who were simply going about their lives happily on the island, and it became a bit difficult to accept emotionally. On top of that, it felt like we were attacking the Salmonids and taking their cherished treasures by force, and then basking in our spoils.

>Inoue: Also, I think the satisfaction of playing Salmon Run comes from how you start moving the instant you think. So it’s like you’re sort of thinking, but sort of not...or rather, you react before you can think. In sports, we often refer to being “in the zone,” and I thought that level of immersion might be really satisfying in a video game too. And it’s not just sports―busy jobs offer a similar sense of satisfaction, don’t you think?
>Ito: Yes, that’s right. We designed this game with the goal of creating an experience where players can feel that same sense of pleasant busyness.

I really wonder why western critics have always struggled to rate Splatoon higher.
It's like they're just not able to view the games as part of the "big deal" category, and rating it lower as a result because it doesn't excite them.

What did you think of Salmon Run?
Anyhow, I assume you never played played Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion. It's better than Splatoon 3's story mode.
Who knows where Raiders will fall on the scale, but hopefully it will be more like the former. While still having all the great fun of Salmon Run derivative challenges.

I don't think so. I just can't help but notice how western critics are extremely resistant towards recognizing Splatoon as a genuinely "big deal" franchise.

I won't pretend like Splatoon is fully and entirely unique or anything. A lot of the game modes are very clearly derivative. And Salmon Run and Raiders very obviously are too.
But how fucking blind mustn't you be to miss how Splatoon doesn't play like any other shooter out there?
Absolute retard statement.

I'm not convinced that this game isn't going to suck. I really grew to hate Salmon Run, but I always thought I'd like a single-player Splatoon game if it deviated from the shooter genre in some way.

"More Salmon Run" is the opposite of what I wanted.

it's not odd at all. nintendo's marketing for splatoon has stayed stuck in the wii u dark ages of being overly childish "you're a kid now you're a squid now" whereas in japan it's being handled much more maturely
you tell the world that it's a gyro-aim supersoaker shooter for children and well, they will believe it and not be interested
you tell the world that it's a new shooter with intense competitive gameplay based around swimming through ink for versatile movement while also having fun customizable characters and a quirky-japan culture and they might be interested
it's not that complicated

I could never stomach it. It's fun at lower levels, but I can't stand how it ramps up the difficulty by overloading your screen with problems to deal with. High hazard level is enduring while the game throws ten different unfairly-designed bullshit boss salmonids at you from different directions, and you win if you have ADHD and can multitask in fire directions at once... all while trying to coordinate with three other players AND meeting quota. Blegh, just no.

I really enjoyed Side Order though, strangely. Maybe because you didn't feel weak as shit at the end, when it got difficult.

For those who don’t wanna read the whole thing, here’s a highlight reel
>the game originally started out with the gameplay idea of you using gadgets to set “traps” and played more like a tower defense game. This eventually changed to put more emphasis on action to play more in line with what splatoon gameplay normally is, with more action-oriented gadgets instead
>a lot of different gadgets were designed, but were narrowed down to the ones solely focused on defeating enemies
>the core gameplay idea is that you can become “the ultimate multitasker”
>the decision for the game to take place on a remote island came from its nature as a spin-off
>use of the expanded power of the switch 2 came in the form of enhanced performance with many enemies on screen and boosted graphics with detailed environments
>originally the game was to have a more fun and adventurous feel to it. This was scrapped due to the fact it made the salmonids too sympathetic, and was reworked from a resort-like feel to a more mysterious and disturbing feel, along with dehumanizing the salmonids by making them more unnerving and unpredictable in their design/behavior
>the game puts focus on deep cut, with “binary scrolls” that explores their background
>they’re looks and outfits are inspired by the gear/grub/fun splatfest
>the mechanic is described as deceptively strong; someone who not only builds things, but can work non-stop and handle themselves in a harsh island environment, and their design reflects that. They may be the most versetile protag in the whole series
>the 2d minigames were made by the mechanic themself, with them irl being done nogami and his team
>>
>>743745893
im in the same boat. lots of people disliked side order but i think it's very fun, despite that it too throws giant hordes of insane bullshit at you
i think part of it is that you are actually equipped to deal with it alone, and instead of having ten different boss salmonids that all pretty much require multiple people to work together to kill them, it's all on you and the game is made around you being able to deal with the things using the gear you assembled
i tend to like salmon run much more during bigruns or other gold rotations because then you can actually have tools to handle what's being thrown at you instead of "here's a squeezer lol"

>Tamura: We created the music while imagining it to be something the Salmonids of the Spirhalite Islands are familiar with, as if it were recorded locally. (Laughs) The Salmonids that wander around the islands have a strange and unsettling presence, and you can't really tell what they're thinking. That led us to look into immersive genres like techno, dub, and minimal music. Those genres are typically centered on electronic instruments. While keeping that musical aesthetic, we imagined how the Salmonids might recreate it using objects washed up on the island. By doing so, we were able to give the game its distinct, slightly unnerving atmosphere. I think it matched the concept art very well.
>Tamura: Of course, there are also plenty of dungeons where you can hear music in the style of the classic Salmon Run tracks. In Salmon Run, the music is played by a Salmonid band known as ω-3 (Omega Three), and in this game, a new Salmonid band, sort of like distant relatives of ω-3, plays music that boosts the Salmonids’ morale.
>We kept the cello and timpani that stood out in Salmon Run as the core sounds that fire up the Salmonids, and by incorporating a wide variety of traditional instruments, we were able to create tracks with a distinctly different flavor from ω-3.
