so what's the /v/erdict on the direction of splatoon raiders?should it get a sequel or should we just go back to mainline pvp slop
They'll most definitely continue to make both, so it doesn't really matter.
Frye sex. That's it, that's the post.
>>744668114Do both.Innovate both ways.
>>744668114I want a switch 2 emulator so someone can mod in mouse controls
>>744668114>>744668357AI, make these into gifs
>>744668114I feel like Raiders is the team wanting to do Side Order but better. PvP’s a mainstay and Salmon Run will probably incorporate Raiders elements, not just enemies but I suspect stuff like weapon loadouts and mods and more progression. But I’m not really sure if there’s a need for a Raiders 2.
I'd say we're more likely to get more spin off games like Raiders than DLCs like Side Order. Players are very open to the devs taking the IP in new directions but Side Order was just too small in scope to keep people interested.
>>744668357Why did they make her so damn fuckable?
i think itd be cool to have a cod zombies type splatoon where you have to surve salmonoids for as long as possible while completing tasks and unlocking areas on a huge map. although i think it should be more clear what those objectives are compared to cod. like it shouldnt be clear right away it might take a bunch of rounds camping outside a point to figure out what the game wants but from ehat i remember the easter eggs in cod were obscure nonsense for the most part
why are you all suggesting different ideas for splatoon spinoffs when the spinoffs will just entirely be the raiders series.
>>744668114Only the clothing options and avatar customisation options were lackluster. Everything else was great.
>>744668114I hate that there's less events than Salmon RushAll the clothes are gay looking and suck dickNo hats or glassesThere's should be a way to aim for an specific type of weapon
>>744669203>relatively young franchise gets literally one spinoff>anon on /v/ decides that is all the franchise will ever do forever
>>744670247they already split their dev time in two to make raiders and you want them to split them even further?
How salty is Shiver's sweat? Do you think we could make a business selling it to Salmonids with their salt addiction?
Im glad that it was a straightforeward shooter, but gotta admit I still kinda want to see a splatoon sandbox survival game.

Raiders is fun but it feels really lacking.Music is eh, fashion is eh, levels are ehIt's a fun mindless game but it's pretty shallow
I'm worried Raiders success means Splatoon 4 won't have a single player mode and will be a fully online shooter.They already tested out the battle pass stuff in 3, so it feels inevitable.
>>744668620...It doesnt have mouse controls?Why the fuck not?
Sex with Acht's female octussy
dlc when
>>744683558The game doesn't necessarily need DLC. But if it did get DLC, it's pretty exciting how easily another dungeon like the Bottomless Buffet could be added.
>>744683805>>744683558All they need to make is a single good meaty expansion DLC that has a connection to a possible splatoon 4.
>>744683962how would you even balance it though
>>744683558>1280x720How is this even possible? The Switch 2 records at 1080p for fucks sake
>>744684365might have been downscaled simply for posting. I'd rather see things at a lower res if it means they don't pixelate or suffer other quality issues.
>>744684365looks better when viewing it
With Raider's success. What are the chances of Splatoon getting one spinoff for each mainline numbered title moving forwards?
>>744684704we're getting raiders 2, not a new type of spinoff.they're not abandoning deep cut
>>744684704Raiders is a salmon run spin off. splatoon 4's spin off will be a tableturf game.
>>744684704I think it's very high. Unlike mainline titles, Raiders isn't expected to receive regular post-launch updates, the devs can jump straight to the next project. I also think they're a bit hesitant to churn out mainline titles considering 3 only barely matched 2's sales in the end, despite having a massive launch month. Having multiple mainline titles on one system doesn't do Splatoon very many favors.
i want frye to wear a dress in raiders 2
For anyone who's very autistic about 100%, the game gives you a second checkmark on the gadgets once you craft/get all gadget parts for them.Better grind your gems.
How musical is the game? I only ask because they're my least favourite idols and i don't really want to listen to their music.
>>744685625good news for you because this is the shit you'll listen to instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or7QU5obtksalso shit fucking taste
>>744685678So the idols never sing?
>>744686060this is a splatoon game of course they sing. and of course it'll be relevant to the plot.
>>744686060it's basically contained to a couple specific cutscenes, and the final boss. the rest is salmon run
>>744668114My thoughts on raiders:For better and for worse, they chose to go all in on maximal fun all the time.The game has insane mobility options, very little to no downtime between waves of enemies, and no objective types (in regular levels) that may bog the game down like push the payload, tower defense or stealth sections; only 'kill everything' (outside of the dedicated puzzle levels which are great).The cost of this is that a lot of the mechanics that make Splatoon what it is are minimized.Inking does not matter anymore, like at all. There is no concept of terrain control; between Jump Boots, Flywire, Splattelites, the Vortex, etc. you are never fighting for the land just as much as you are the enemy. You're pretty much always in the air, moving really fast, hell one of the tanks even lets you swim through dry land/Salmonid ink and its effect is spammable.Most weapons that aren't high dps/good at mob control are completely shit in this environment, like chargers. Stuff like chargers could have had a chance to shine if there were objective types that required a player to approach them in a more measured way.It's inconvenient to get stuck in enemy ink, to have tot slow down and plan around terrain hazards, or have objectives that require a more delicate approach than 'blast everything, fill screen with numbers"/Splatoon Raiders is super dopaminemaxxed, it feels like playing a game you like but with cheats/mods where you've broken the fundamental rules and go crazy. And don't get me wrong, the variety in Salmonid Boss types still makes moment to moment gameplay require more thought than any other looter shooter I've played recently. But I think the game could've been even richer and have had even more depth. Though I wonder if that's incompatible with loot-based design.But I'm weak, as I did enjoy it more than Octo Expansion which was focused on level design over 'number go up'. Raiders is good and I'm glad it exists.
>>744686379>Most weapons that aren't high dps/good at mob control are completely shit in this environment, like chargers.lmao you shitter, it's the strongest weapon currently
Why are squids male and female? They're made of ink right? Can't they even reproduce like that?
>>744686098>>744686328Eh, that's not too bad. Can I skip the cutscenes in this game?
>>744668114The verdict is that I’m not spending $60 on splatoon single player. It’s gonna be hilarious when they charge $80 for a multilayer only splatoon 4 though. Tendies going to work overtime to defend their friends.
>>744668114Can someone tell what even is Splatoon Raiders?
>>744686574you kill fish to get better stuff so you can kill more fish
>>744686574Single player Splatoon.
>>744686574Why can't you google it Or watch a trailer?
>>744686542just watch them, they're short and the idols are likeable.
>>744686574Nintendo looter shooter ft. squidskill, loot, upgrade
How long is the game for a casual playthrough?
>>744686695Lmfaoooo! You can’t even skip them and the tendie defense is to just shut the fuck up and take it up the ass.
>>744686695So you can't skip them?
>>744686817you can but why would you?
>>744684812>Final boss is God...again
>>744686856Because I don't want to watch cutscenes. I want to play video game.
>>74468674615 ish hours, much more if you're doing post-game or even just getting to the secret bosstook me 50 hours to get all treasure as there's a ton of repeatable content you can do to get stronger and there's a dungeon with infinite floorsi recommend checking out the post-game even if just a little, it's very different to the main game because the game adds new mechanics to the mix to customize your build
>>744687058forgot to add the game has a hard mode to select from the start if you want a bit of difficulty the game forces it on you for the post-game stuff
>>744687170What does hard mode change? Is it fun or is it like Botw where all the enemies have more HP and nothing else?
>>744686379charger is the only weapon in the game to make it to 900f+ of the buffet
>>744687239enemies move faster and do more damage, no change to health
>>744687239they deal more damage and are slightly faster, i don't think they have more HP. the only thing that gives them more HP is co-op or doing the dark souls summon help thing.either way it keeps the game a lot more engaging for me atleast, but might be too hard for beginners to splatoon
>>744684365Sometimes webm's just refuse to go below 4mb Resolution doesn't impact memory as much as video quality, but if the quality is already on the floor might as well lower the resolution
>>744687239Enemies are stronger and more agressive.
>>744687494What am I looking at?
>>744668114I wish it had a randomizer mode changing builds is a major commitment
>>744687567the endgame metaenemy HP gets so insane that the only solution is to push them off the map
>>744687663Looks really unfun.How are they flying like that? I haven't played the game yet.
>>744687709You get gadgets and gadgets can be customized freely with parts that do different things like add damage or in this case makes you float. It is a cherry picked video because not all enemies are able to be knocked back by the torq but it is still funny.
>>744687567cheesing a specific dungeon that only spawns spring salmon by sticking a fan to the wall and hovering just off the edge of the stage, the horde of jumping fatsos gradually push each other off the edge. and you get their large power egg for free.
>>744687874So you can float forever in this game? Doesn't that make swimming redundant.
>>744669875there is nothing gay about my weyyo showing off a little tum alright?
>>744687663eh, this isn't meta really, the webm is just the super spicy Strobborro dungeon, which you can clear pretty easily just with normal tactics. It is used in super post endgame dungeon, but that's like floor 400+ well beyond what a sane person would play.
>>744687950Still need to land to refill ink. Also while flying around is good, this webm is from a gimmick dungeon where all the enemies are from the same family of spring guys. it wouldn't work that well on a normal level.
>>744687950>float foreverYes but it is endgame and wouldn't be optimal for all maps or enemies. The webm shows type of spring based enemy when there are others that are static or flying or grounded>redundantMobility in air is far more limited than swimming. That gadget is the only one that lets you fly like that.
>>744688230>>744688259Idk, the gadgets don't seem very fun.I think I'm gonna pass on this game, Salmon Run single player sounds good, but I'm not a fan of the execution so far.
>>744688380Gadgets are the good part. It's the damage sponges that aren't fun.
>>744688493>Gadgets are the good partI don't see it.
I never use Brushes but they feel very good in this game.
>>744686542no
>>744688552You're basing your entire viewpoint of the game on a single webm of a cheese strat for a postgame stage.
What's the best spot for farming crystals without turbo leveling up?
>>744688694No I'm not. Settle down.
>>744688552[reggie fils-amie slapping his hands next to the dorito pope telling him to play a video game for himself.wmv]
>>744688585Favorite weapon so far are stringers, feels like charger but better.
>>744688657Someone else said I could.
>>744688753isnt it just baygull beach crystal mining?
>>744688753The regular blue spirhalite? Probably the mining stages, but you don’t need to go out of your way to farm it. You’ll get assloads of the stuff from scrapping weapons.
>>744688753>>744680323
>>744688814Does the icebreaker bonus apply to all of the shots or just one?
>>744688950I’m too early in the game to know that for sure, sorry anon. It would be weird if it didn’t apply to all arrows though.
>>744688950Just one, it's terrible for anything that isn't a charger, stringer or blaster.
>>744688950it applies to every hit in a burst, so weapons like the stringer or brella get the full bonus, it isn't good for shooters or anything that attacks rapidly.
>>744682130Mouse controls will likely be a selling point for Splatoon 4 and the devs didn't want to introduce an entirely new control scheme in a spinoff.
>>744689159>>744688950Nevermind I read the post wrong, it's good for stringer.
>>744688821You can skip all the cutscenes, I think the boss intro cut ins can't be skipped but those aren't really cut scenes and take literally 1 second.
>>744689475Excellent, thank you.
>>744650320Late on this but it's their entire culture. They idolize the circle of life and so both the act of eating and being eaten are sacred to them, so they have no qualms about assaulting other species to devour them or getting killed in turn. The more delicious a Salmonid, the stronger it is.
The end game grind is fundamentally flawed. The bottomless buffet is the only stage with any difficulty, yet there's no unique loot. And you get no benefit for going deeper. I'm at floor 500 where seasoned enemies have tens of millions of health and can one-shot you. The drops, however, are the same as lv.80 maps. I don't even notice a drop rate increase.
>>744689870Do inklings actually eat them though?
>>744690173they eat actual fishi don't think salmonids taste different
>>744690173>>744691059They also eat non-sapient squid and octopus as well. Which is true in real life too, squid will predate on other squid species.Honestly what was neat to see were squid fin lemons in Raiders' credits. Those only showed up in the Splatoon 1 artbook for Kelp Dome.
