day 2 of woomy raiding
Frye won
Do you change your outfit/weapons when you swap tanks?
Hello Shiver. Congrats for saving your city from debt slavery. Your license fee is due however. I want 2 billion G.
veemo's crippling woomy addiction
Post Mechanics!
Do you guys go through the story without only one tank and then go replay stuff after. I've been switching between Power and Tech, but as a result it feels like my gadgets are a little underpowered because I don't have as many of the add on abilities as if I just used one.
>>575125065the>big boobschallenge
>>575125186Still too new. I wanna get the online outfits some time.
Mechanic is my least favorite playable character. You can't give her regular fat long floppers as cod intended.
I don't know much about the lore. Why aren't Octolings enemies anymore?
>>575125440thats in the floppers update only $29.99
>>575125186Arr veemos rook same.
>>575125521Cause there was a mass exodus of Octolings to the surface.Why are they coming if we were told there wasn't enough room for both races? I don't know, stop thinking about it.
>>575125186
>late game>literally no way to beat levels other than leveling up and increasing damage>no strategy, no gear swapping>you literally just need to be high enough level to meet the DPS check or you failnice game ngmi
>>575125670That is literally the plot of Gears of War and that didn't end welll
>>575125765More like a skill issue lmao how about idk, not dying?
Nogami doesn't want you to think too hard about the story of this silly game about squid people who shoot ink guns at each other. This game makes it seem like Salmonids will no longer be a threat, but they will 100% not change when Salmon Run returns anyway in Splatoon 4.
>>575125765skill issue
>>575125186Wish we had more hairstyles... I miss my single flopper.
>>575126329Why is she black
I HATE dried floppers. I HATE crusty dry flaky floppers. Mechanic is on the bottom of the single player protagonist list for those crispy peeling off floppers.
>>575126138>>575126309>not dyingdying isn't the issueliterally not having enough DPS to meet the timer is the issue
>>575126554Idk man I've done plenty of levels that were one or two above me and my weapons level
>DAMN MECHANIC YA ASS FAT *SLAP*>DAMN SHIVER THOSE SPATS CAN'T CONTAIN ALL THAT JELLY *SLAP*>DAMN PEARL THERE'S NOTHIN' THERE *SLAP*>DAMN MARINA YO JEANS BOUT TO BURST *SLAP*>DAMN CALLIE WHAT YOU EATIN' LOOK AT DEM DOORWAY BLOCKERS *SLAP*>DAMN MARIE NO TRADITIONAL COSTUME GONNA HIDE YO FAT ASS *SLAP*
I like this weapon. You can be a little shit and peek around corners then instantly blast your opponent and it lets you get cool hits from afar.
>>575127521THIS NIGGA USING STICKS
>each idol bond gives you hub musicneat, i have the frye bond music, if i get another idol am i able to swap between them
>>575127573It works just fine for me. I did the entire campaign like this because I couldn't stand motion
>>575127625they play at random
>>575127696damn, i really like the frye music it sounds like a mario desert level
>>575127687That's what they all say....
Mess hall is really cool woah
YEAH YEAHYEAH YEAH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>575127521THIS NIGGA PLAYING SPLATOON 3
>>575127687it's like playing tf2 with no mouse
Is the last briny scroll part of the postgame?I maxed my idol bonds and got all the level scrolls but I'm still missing one.
>>575128171BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH
>>575128335The last briny scroll is unlocked at level 9999.
>>575128251It's like playing CSGO with a controller.
>keep getting 4* and 5* parts>for a gadget I never fucking use>on a tank I never fucking useWHY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySlQqScmjZAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH
>>575128030I can beat on lil timmies somewhat. I went 8/3 that match.
Wtf the Salmonid rape room is actually real
>>575128849why does ngmi keep doing this to us
>>575128996AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH
No fatties allowed beyond this point
>>575128979the what
I still don't understand what the difference between star numbers / colors on gadget parts isas far as I can tell, the number is all that matters and the color is pointless
>>575129312you'll know it when you get to itsalmonid rape is canon
>>575129315higher tier parts will give a larger effect for less slots than a lower tier part would
>>575129315Well, the top one is 2 slots and the bottom one is 8
>>575128138things are getting really serious now
>>575128996It's tradition. What's funny is this is the worst bad ending of the three in existence, but the music is so funny it doesn't feel as creepy.
>>575125416this is the best outfit tho
>>575129312
For just 2G a month you can save the endangered Octotrooper from total extinction.
>>575123052It doesn't look or feel like real Hong Kong at all desu
anyone wanna play some open?
>>575130705Well yeah, Kowloon doesn't exist any more. It was torn down after reunification with China. Kowloon Walled City is a very popular aesthetic, especially in Japan.
>>575130705That's because it isn't real, it's splatoon
guess I'll spend my 29 aptitude points
>>575130991But Splatoon is real.
>>575128996ngmi had no hand in this, he's been busy working on splatoon 4
Bad news. Grizzco is now out of business. Lil Judd has committed suicide. Inkopolis unemployment rates through the roof.
>>575131068That's what I did too, glad they serve a purpose tho
I'm level 12 and still don't have the option to help with people's raids, how far do you need to be to unlock this?
https://x.com/i/status/2080563547638284533laura posted this
>>575130819Full?
>>575130559why
When do you think this game started development? I think it was early on. I think the idea for a Splatoon spinoff was already quite popular after Splatoon 2s success especially the success of Salmon Run and development for this game started the moment Splat 3 was released. It doesn't feel influenced by any plot element from Splat 3s hero mode or later splatfest/DLC. The story must have been made alongside the Splatoon 3s hero mode as a better introduction of the idols they ironically just introduced. The results of the final fest will affect Splatoon 4.
>Frye won the rock paper and scissorsso the splatfest was just a lie?
>>575128979>>575129312>>575130559Fshfkr room
>>575131836nopeopen 2/4
please tell me that the sublevel 10-19 shit is the last of these levelsholy fuckhaving to go through 9 levels in a row just to die is fucking canceraids
>>575128725BECAUSE ANON YOU DAFT LITTLE FUCKYOU SHOULD BE SWAPPING AROUND YOUR BUILDS OCCASIONALLY TO LEVEL EACH TANK BECAUSE THEY FIT DIFFERENT PURPOSES
>>575132265Deep Cut do not bow to the decrees of the Fax Machine. Only Inkopolis cephs do that sort of thing.
>>575132003why not
>>575132412the speed and technique gadgets suck monkey fuck though
>>575132535skill issue
>>575132535It sucks monkey butts
>>575131557First boss.
>good video game>decently long campaign >boatloads of shit to do after the credits rollhow the FUCK is this only $50.
>>575132287how do i join
>>575132535Absolutely WRONG, and you'd realize that if you idk USED them, and leveled them up to get their unique abilities
Little quality of life thing worth pointing out if nobody has noticed it yet. If you skip a level and want to get the rewards later, you don't have to play the lower difficulty version of it, you will get all the basic rewards from playing on spice/super spicy.
>>575132771Because it's a clever way to make you want to spend more money on Splatoon 4 coming out 2037 or whatever.
>>575132771I think with the lack of PvP and splatfests and all that, Nintendo assumed it wouldn't perform well as a full price game, and it obviously does reuse assets from 3. I was honestly expecting it to be a much smaller game than it is. It has tons of meat on its bones.
>>575132535One of the speed gadgets is zipcaster, how could you be so wrong.
>>575132867How do I switch to spicy levels? It said I unlocked them
>>575132771Mario Tennis underperforming made them reconsider their pricing stances I guess.
Final boss time, glad to do it with /ink/
30 years old.
>>575133108I fucking love using Zipcaster and Bomb Jump
Thoughts on this octopus?
>>575133189its just an option when you select the stage, the first few levels are tutorials and don't have spicy variants, neither do the puzzle levels.
>>575133461whore
>>575133461this octopus is my beautiful flat-chested adult wife
Remember when Shiver was announced and people were saying she was non binary or Trans or male or whatever the fuck? What was up with that?
>>575133461Devs saw the first reactions to her in 3 and said "lets make her pure porn for some reason"
>>575133461fingers stink like squid
>>575132771its funny compared to star fox where I played for 4 hours and got bored.
>>575133461Somehow just keeps getting sluttier and more sultry
If you pick an inkling can you switch to an octoling later, or do you need to make a new character?
I have fallen out with Shiver. She insists upon herself. She is too overtly sexual. I like Big Man now.
>>575132771because nintendo is the only good AAA dev left now
>>575132661Oh. Thought the Salty Scrapper was it.
The bow is cool but it kind of sucks since you have to hit your target perfectly or you won't get a kill.
>>575133461Rape.
>>575133270too young
>>575132771Because they wanted it to be a game everyone can get into, They don't want it to be a game that splatoon fans and only splatoon fans gush over it.
>>575133869No you don't. It has explosive arrows for a reason. Also jump shots to do vertical arrows is great
>any raid ends, successfully or unsuccessfullyXA-A
>>575133461her voice is the second best idol voice behind marina.I'll have to keep playing to see if the changes
Nintendo is now the Splatoon Company. Splatoon Kart and Splatoon Golf coming soon.
>>575133810you can switch back in the appearance menu
>>575133810Yeah, you can redo character creation whenever you want. just like splat 3.
>>575133990
>>575133830Sad but trueI would have pointed at ID but lmao mass layoffs
>>575134127>shiver company. shiver kart and shiver golf
>>575133975So I have to hope they'll walk into it?
more like GAYders, lmao, gottem
>>575134293Salmonids generally have very predictable movement. Hit the floor ahead of where they're going if you're not confident in being able to land directs.
>>575134401What? No... those are piss easy to hit. I was talking about human opponents.
>>575133990A - down down A A right A
So Splatoon 4s hero mode has to be past themed, can't have octotroopers and can't have salmonids? Or has Nogami already said fuck it and decided to make a more traditional hero mode, bring back the Turquoise October and made Craig rehydrate for reasons unknown to science. Octotroopers are BACK and linear platform levels are BACK baybeeeeee the zapfish is STOLEN again baybeeeeeee like the good old days.
>>575134497Nigga....
if they could make raiders good why did they make 3 and SO baddid they just tell junior devs to slop whatever onto the plate and send it
>>575125186>got an outfit with the same color combo my s3 veemo hasnaisu
>>575134950s3 was in development hell
You can tell Nogami didn't have much to do with this story because there is no hypnotism involved.
>>575134609I can't think of any other way you could kill someone with it other than by setting up the splash or by getting a perfect shot.
>>575135058the massive power egg drove all the salmonids mad, that's about as mind controlly as it gets
>>5751349503 campaign was goodit just couldn't follow up octo expansion and it more or less retreads octo expansion's gameplay.Side Order I just dont know. at its core it was doomed because the new enemies were not as fun to fight as the salmonids
>>575135156Yes but it wasn't a major character, or the protagonist. The Golden Egg is more like a hive mind than hypnoshades.
>>575135152STICKFAG ALERT
>>575132852>level up gadgets? you mean the tanks?
>>575135169Side Order didn't feel like a story. They had a gameplay concept and they wanted to create something that felt like Octo Expansion. The gameplay concept felt lackluster and the story felt very basic in practice sprinkled with Octo Expansion motifs. Once the credits roll all incentives to 100% it drop. I didn't want any of the stupid Locker stickers and items I had no willpower to play it any more. At least with this you continue to get gear and dialogue hours after the main story has been beaten.
GGs raider room
GGs with story that was pure KINO.
doing 10-19 floors on inkgen1/4
oh fuck that's why 3 has been so fucking miserable online, Raiders finally came out. How is it, squids? Is it fun? I'm not getting it for now but I'm still curious about it

>That endingGg ending pool, this ending and final section was pure kino, i love you /ink/
>>575135952All right, I'll join. Hopefully the right name.
>>575130864ACKCHYUALLY>Kowloon doesn't exist any more.It does exist, it's just a regular administrative area/district of HK.The Walled City was torn down, yes. So was the Kai Tak airport, which was reason for the spectacular low approaches above the city (there is a shopping mall in its place now, even has the HK Ninty store in it).What I'm saying is, Splatsville absolutely does not try to look like KWC, that was way more cramped, claustrophobic, grimy and dark.But it also does not look or feel like regular Hong Kong anywhere. At best it's a little like a Chinatown somewhere, LA or SF maybe.If you want to see a good fictional depiction of Hong Kong, watch the 1995 Ghost in the Shell movie. Or play Sleeping Dogs (don't forget your pork buns).>Kowloon Walled City is a very popular aesthetic, especially in Japan.Yes, they used to have an arcade styled like it (Kawasaki Warehouse), and when I say styled I mean it was all out autistically recreated to incredible detail. I'm disappointed I only got to go there once, it closed down during the coof.>>575130991You're a squid now, dog.
Is there any actual empirical data-driven comparisons on the motion control performance of the various Sw2 controller options? Doesn't seem like it. I have 2000ish hours between Splat1-3 on official nintendo controllers and the 8bitdo I've been using for the last year or so feels completely fine.
>>575135152Yes that's what bow does, you pelt people from afar with AoE and turf for your teammates. One-shots require precise aim, so if you're adamant on not using EARTHQUAKE CONTROLS then splatlings may be more up your alley (I would still heavily recommend you to get used to motions because stick controls are a very blatant afterthought in this series).
I'm playing Raiders rn
>>575135152That's pretty much what stringers do, yeah. Either you go for skill shot direct hits, or you spam arrow-bombs similar to how an explosher would fight.
>beat final boss>immediate credits rollhuhokay
>>575133217It didn't even underperform, those games are asset reuses and make back budget on like 100k copies sold
Alright thanks H and S that was great. Funny how we played most of the game together S, had a great time finishing the game with everyone
I'm not a fr*nchoid, nogami
>>575135587I think the biggest issue with side order is the pacing. Like, everyone loves salmon run,, but salmon run is also very fast. you can play for 5 minutes or an hour straight. Side order's individual rounds are fast, but there isn't anything breaking it up. Yeah you can technically suspend your run at any time, but its not the same as playing quick bursts of multiplayer, or even alterna stages. Also a full run of Side order is kinda long, Like 30 minutes at least, Oh, and there are also no secrets. I think that's another insane miss.
>>575136878a choid
>>575135152Anon, for the love of woomy, please start using gyro. You'll only end up hating the game and yourself by playing sticks, once you inevitably hit the ceiling of how far you can get without gyro (not very far at all). Plus you'll be ridiculed for playing stick by everyone, everywhere.Gyro will feel weird for a week or two, but you'll thank yourself once you get over that. Play through the solo campaign with it, or just practice one stage like One-Way Ride through Target Town, and you'll be good.
Beating raiders story will reward woomy with pizza While not the most amazing story it was fun playing through and learning more about salmons.>>575136715GGs and thanks for the raids, it was super fun. Yeah we ended up playing most of the levels together it was fun. I'll call it for tonight, but will continue my salmon slaying career later and joining lobbies. I might have fallen down once during the boss, but I'll blame that one the alcohol.
Anyone addicted to Helping randos? It's so fast and fluid, and easy xp/treasure.
>>575135169side order was a prototype for raiders
>>5751356793/4starting in 3, dont want to keep people waiting
So I decided to do direct comparisons of the idol specific cutscenes because some (two people here I guess) said they had a Shiver bias... and I'm not seeing anything, each of the idols got as much screentime as the others, and later on when it's all three together it's still split evenly.
>Spicy>Super Spicyof course, the postgame content is "play every level multiple times", as usual
>>575137149>want to let whoever join>"i was able to play in the same dungeons as other and the levels usually get scaled">it makes sense, but its just a shame.
>>575135860>>575135952>>575137391I guess there is a problem then.
GGs sh
GGs p
i didn't like sr cause you couldn't one trick a weapon. so i guess this was made for me.
Unfortunately, I am one of the 20 people on planet Earth that obsesses too much with Splatoon lore and this game has made me confused.Who is this guy who left the exploration bot behind and drew up all the maps in the story? Why does Deep Cut wonder who this guy is, and then never find out? This guy who explored the islands 100 years ago will probably never be named. And then there's the civilisation thing. This whole game is about uncovering a lost advanced slom society, only to never go into what it is and how it may or will be restored. Why is the giant golden egg there? Why is it so important to the sloms? What happens now it's dead? Are sloms intelligent now? Are they still dumb? Does this affect all Salmonids or just the salty ones who live on the islands?
so who the fuck built the robot?
>>575137831wait for the dlc and/or raiders 2
>>575136658Good. I'm not the only one who thought the ending of this game was very abrupt.
>>575138037It'll be fucking Sheldons grandpappy or some bullshit.
I hope we get Title Updates...Just a few new levels and weapons
I don't know what gadgets to use.
>>575129315Lower cost than the same effect on a low star part.
>>575137831Asking myself the same shit, at least we know the gold eggs was causing the big runs so it was all fishes in the world being affected by it. I wouldn'texpect them to become nice, salmon run will continie as it wasn't happening in sp2. As for who built the bot i wonder the same thing i was hoping we'd see more about that but i guess not, at least, isn't one of the scroll hinting it's someone from the hohojiros?Also yeah i don't get what they were thîking with the advanced salmonids stuf. I really wonder how all this is related to deep cut, was the three lights and cataclysm stuff in sp3 related to spirhalite too? Was hugefry a nothingburger?
Which idol instrument motif do you like the most?I like Big Mans air horns.
What's with the salt? How is it related to all of this
>splatoon 3's single player campaign brings up a bunch of plot threads and then never mentions them again>raiders does the same fucking thing
I fucking hate stingers so goddamn much.
>>575138868The official Splatoon Raiders website just says it makes them more aggressive. I just think its a gameplay element to allow for Harder Difficulty Salmonids. I thought all the food theming would lead us to Marigold or even Crusty Sean but really its just a reference to Fryes obsession with food fests. Thinking too hard about Splatoon games makes it confusing.>>575139042This is just normal. The moment you realise it the earlier you let go. It's like the size of Inklings. Or what the fuck the Octarian-Inkling war was all about in retrospective. Or how the fuck can Sanitised Octarians regain sentience. Or all these characters set up to be important only for them to not show up.
>>575138868salmonid culture is about the food cycle and they are proud of tasting good so salty = better/stronger
>>575124925>only bought my switch to play splatoon 2 and 3>don't wanna buy another console just to play RaidersStrap me to a rocket and fire my at Nintendo's headquarters
THAT HEAVENLY MELODY....
>>575139360Think of it this way, only buying Splatoon games and Splatoon consoles means you will be saving money more than other loser gamers.
>>575139360You're gonna need a switch 2 for splatoon 4, so you might as well get one
>>575139360Well, it's a Nintendo platform, so People of Gender are hard at work in their programming socks to create an emulated version even now, and since it's primarily single player you won't miss that much. A little patience is all that's required unless you want to play with st/ink/ers.
>>575139423Why didn't they just play Calimari Inkantation at the Salmonids? Splatoon 3 says ALL sea life got influenced by the melody. Is Deep Cut stupid? Or do they not want to play music that reminds them of who legally owns them?
>>575139042I was really hoping Glen Fiddler would be in SO.
>>575139360Might want to get one before they get more expensive
>>575139614>Play Calamari>Dozen of smallfry turn into hugefryWhat now?
The final boss music was kino poggers but honestly like 90% of the other music in the game was bland and forgettable
>>575139635Wait until Splatoon 4 when a sunken scroll will say he's been dispossessed or something because of the cities debt and he's just a nobody.
if we're in that phase thenwhat is the point of the spiral theme?
>>575139703Too bad you can't listen to it because there's NO jukebox
Anyone down for some salty raids? Ferdi island to the second king
Are you all using just one tank to progress through the story? Been switching between Power and Tech depending on the level, but i feel like that's just making my gadgets underpowered since I don't have as many mods as if I just focus on one.
>>575139681*equips Speed Tank*All I am surrounded by is fear... and dead fish.
>>575139998I used all three yeah
>>575139703They felt more tolerable as tracks than Side Orders OST. Side Order had a few good tracks and the rest was repeating awful noise over and over and over again. This felt like Salmon Run music mixed with Splatoon 3s hero mode music. Especially the dungeons. It was good as background music but I never felt "yeah I would like to listen to this by itself at some point" It was alright but god I miss Turquoise October.
Opening a fishfuckers room soon, going to THAT level and hanging out with dozen of cohockd, who's joining?
>>575139998I ended up leveling all of the tanks, but ideally later on you'd have a fully leveled up tank and roll with that. If you don't mind going for a more completionist route leveling up all three tanks.
>>575138679I like frye's solo song the most
Floor 100s secret boss is a literal rotting dead fish.
>>575140195can yebs join
>>575135778it's like if Side Order was actually good
I feel like i rushed to story a bit, I finished it like 3 hours ago... Is the post game full of stuff?
>>575140425yes, there's a ton to do in the postgame
>>575140402Raiders is what Side Order should have been. Instead of the one location linear boredom it was.
>>575125186WE'LL CARRY ON, WE'LL CARRY ON
>>575140425The postgame is mostly just playing through all the levels again but on higher difficultiesThere's a few new levels, but the majority of postgame is just the Super Spicy difficulty
Is there a lore explanation for multiple mechanics in co-op?
>>575139934Is there really no jukebox? What the fuck
Was I the only one who tought Frye's plan when going to space during the final boss was to find Grizz and have him help us? Or am i retarded
>>575140683It is genuinely annoying. I can't tell if it's just because a the devs felt a spin off did not require it or if they're shilling for the nintendo music app thing. Maybe the jukebox is locked behind level 200 or something.
>>575140683nopewe're keeping up the trend of lacking basic features that most other games have had for 10+ years
>see Super Spicy levels that are level 80So is the max level not actually 50? Can you go higher?
>>575140831Mr Grizz is fucking dead my man.
>>575140676Master mega going back to splatsville to grab mechanic'd friends
>>575141049Oh right. I tried doing that with a 5* weapon and it only went as high as +10, so I assumed it wasn't actually infinite
I would like to share that an Arctic Bobtail Woomy was founded!
>>575125186Very bargain erahttps://youtu.be/5Wkufr1WgW0?si=PxKjnfiAjCecmuXR
How many weeks do I have to wait for Nintendo to release the whole soundtrack and then someone to post them all.
>>575141591wtf is up with nintendo and feet lately??
post mechanics face when she finds a book in the dungeon
>>575141591She's reading "How to safely breed with salmonids" btw
double braid is gonna be this games himecut isn't it
>>575141846It's the closest to floppers
>>575141664Woomy doesn't really like books and instead finds information on InkChan and Veemo telling her what is the latest biz.
Nogami firing everyone who worked on raiders because floppers aren't selectable.
>>575141905I feel like the fashion looks better in this game
>>575141905No not that one. The screen when she beats a dungeon and she's going :O
>>575141846Double braids is popular among woomies because they act as handlebars for salmonids
I'm enjoying Splatoon Raiders.
>>575142079this one?
Not sure how hosting works yet, but would anyone be down for some post-game raiding?
>>575142304thats more like iti like this one
>>575141756>>575142091Stop
im still playing splatoon 2
>>575142025I like some of the outfits aswell, they are pretty naisu>>575142079You got a Veemo already, but here is a Woomy aswell
>>575142373No
>>575142359yes
Does this game need DLC? I don't think it will, unless the story "needs" to be explained more in detail which isn't something this franchise is known for. Free little content updates for levels, weapons and titles seems more likely honestly.
>ingame is 120fps>prerendered cutscenes are 30fps and look choppy as fuck
I wanna get that outfit you unlock by hosting/joining a room.
>>575142595i hate DLC so hopefully not
>>575142304>>575142558Spreading their legs after learning how to attract salmonids mates, good cephs
>>575142595it does not “need” DLC as there’s already a shit ton to do but i would not complain if it got more content
>>575142646Cutscenes look great, what do you mean? At least they decided to animate the characters more fluidly.
I wish the IP counter was still alive so we could see how much the thread grew.
Salmonads are a metaphor for pajeets
>>575142776Yeah, the animation is nice, the framerate isn't
I have yet to get any drizzler mats. Do I have to farm a specific place for them to show up or what?
>>575142678Please do not be obnoxious with the fishfucking commentsI say this as a fishfucking enjoyer myself
>>575141664>>575141905>>575142304>>575142480Are these scenes repeatable?
>>575142646pretty sure ingame is 60
>>575142568Alright, room should be going up under ふ
Just 1, 2, 3 or something years until we can see the superior Switch 2 animation quality for the other idols in Splatoon 4 unless they don't and they only did this specifically for Raiders
>>575142595Doesn't need it but it's insanely fun so far so I wouldn't mind more. But i'm barely started with it so i have a lot to do
>>575142895This>>575142835>>575142646Pretty sure it's intentional for a more cinematic feel
>>575142914yeah, just go and clear a sampler dungeon and you'll get it at arandom
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETHE OCTARIANS JUST DUMPED 70 BILLION G'S ONTO THE SPATSVILLE MARKET. THE ECONOMY IS IN FREE FALL.GRAB YOUR SPLATTERSHOT.
i wanted to play a big run based on when the egg had woken up... Shiver said not to worry because there competent people in splatsville... And i am one of them so please do an event to let me play it...
>>575143848nopeyou're gonna get another splatfest re-run and you're gonna like it
After I 100% Raiders I’m not coming back to /ink/ until 4 gets announced.
>>5751423592/4, (You) me if you want in.
>>575144340See you next year.
>>575144364(You)
How will I know if someone is calling for help?
where is everyone
After all this guud shit. I want more than 1 Splatoon character in the next smash game.Will I buy it? No. But I still expect another Splatoon character.
>>575144574i ate them
>>575144504The help function is randoms only.
>>575144574All ready beaten the game so there’s only post game max level rooms.
>>575144629Om nom nom nom nom
>>575144574If it's like 3, it only updates when you're online. It won't show any rooms from before you joined the pool.
>>575144629>>575144732Mmmm, woomy curry.
>>575144487Opening
>>575144634So the inkgen pool won’t even know?
Now that nothing is in the way I can finally start playing Raiders a day late.>Oh yes this is the woomy game I wanted>All those years of SR have paid offI like what happens when you come across a red crystalEncountered and almost killed my first goldie fish was really small before she jumped back into the pipe.Shiver gets knocked in the air I kill the fish before she landsShe instantly Booyah the very frame she lands on>Feels good woomyI have to use the help feature if I want one of the outfits huh?
get gadgetmogged
Survivalist was too easy. Hoping we get an update with extra salty difficulty.
Slight problem, (You), can't select the post-game stuff if a player hasn't gotten to it yet.
>>575144881I mean yeah, of course it's going to be easy for giga autists like us who have been playing for 8+ years
stop stop stop
4 amiibo outfits is very annoying. The fact every splatoon amiibo that isn't the three raiders one only gives you one outfit is a bit rough. This is supposed to be the franchise keeping these silly skylanders alive.
>>575145016Cringe
>>575145016Stop posting twitter garbage and go back.
WHATFUCK OFF NOGAMI
>>575144958No worries, I'll go grind more. >2499/2500Carp.
>>575145225Splashdowning them off the edge may have been a little oopsie, I admit.
>>575145016Never let these faggots forget how they reacted to Shiver being confirmed female.
>>575145016>CallillionaireJesus Christ, it's this fagaloon again. Hasn't them being banned once enough for them? Cunt needs to fuck off forever and be thrown in prison, holy shit, they're retarded and delusional.
>>575145404Why stop there? Never let these faggots back into the Splatoon community. Shame them and humiliate them and gatekeep them. Allowing their mentally ill Twitter posts is how we got them in the community in the first place. Purge them and weed them out and slam shut the gates.
I hate Callie.I hate Marie.I hate Pearl.I hate Marina.I hate Shiver.I hate Frye.I hate Big Man.Splatoon games for this feel?
I thought Salmonids just battered you to death to protect their eggs, and I guess when they're not motivated by a hive mind that's still true. But the Splatoon 2 sunken scroll prophecy and the Bad Ending of this game now makes it clear that Big Runs are like some 28 Days Later shit where the Salmonids have come to totally kill and eat everything they can find until everyone is dead.
>>575141591>That emblemCareful woomy that is a book of the Mechanicus read to much and you might decide the ink is weak I shall become the machine woom.
>>575145945That's nice woomy, you're so very different to everyone else, now get back to work. I NEED MORE EGGS.
>>575145945there are no splatoon games suitable for people with no taste
>>575146149From the moment I understood the weakness of my ink. It disgusted me.
>squid boys look zesty>squid girls look like they're built for human men
So what exactly was update patch for Raiders for?
zesty?
58 sunken scrolls and not one gives you a hint at all of how other characters are doing or what to expect in the next game? Really?
>Side Order is dogshit>Side Order 2: Raiders is absolutely incrediblehow did they do it
>>575147154raiders isn't even the same genre as side order
>>575147154They put effort into it?
>>575147154salmons
>>575147069They haven't planned that far yet.
>>575144364i don't suppose there is still room?
Raiding with yebbies...
>>575147362I mean come on, not even in an interlude-y sort of way? I know this is a Deep Cut centred game but can't I at least see the faces of other characters. Other than Sheldon of course.
>>575147154>how did they do itby taking side order gameplay and putting it in an actual game and not LE ROGUELIKE garbage
>>575147365Got one more slot, opening.
Do weapons go any higher than 50?
>>575147154it's not anywhere close to being like side order, what's this stupid meme?
Nogami brethren. How do we accept that Nogami overlooked the creative decisions for Side Order but didn't for Raiders? Can Nogami still be trusted with our idols and agents.
>>575147627sorry i disappeared the moment i asked for the room to open, please reopenor if it's still open i don't see it
my goku girlfriend
>>575147870Started a mission, just a minute.
owie
>>575147870Opening again, I think it pings automatically, but tell me if I need to remake it.
>Shiver and Big Man shitting themselves in fear>Frye immediately comes up with a plan and calls her eels>Shiver tries to call her stupid shark but it's too fucking fat and ugly to make it so the eels have to literally carry him>Frye is in full control of the situation and tells you exactly what to do Was Frye actually the leader the entire time?
>>575145945>>>/vg/foamstars
Big Man is the only character I'd be happy to hang out with. Frye sounds aggravating after a while and Shiver is breathing down my neck.
>>575148508if you didn't realize by now, shiver cannot function without frye and frye cannot function without shiver (and big man is there too)their extra dialogues in this game hint towards that too.
>>575148754The sexual tension with Shiver is so thick you can cut it anon, you can finally get lucky with her.
>>575124925Saving the best for last.
>>57514887624/7 sultriness from Shiver desperately trying to get into my pants does not sound comfy it sounds annoying. Big Man is chill.
>>575148876the mechanic is not interested but it confirms that shiver is into woomies. frye is too dumb to understand any advances.
>>575147735it's literally exactly the same as side order except the levels are huge
>>575149109it's literally not.
>>575149019It’s crazy how he’s around 30 by now.
Anyone else really fucking love the speed tank?
>>575149019gay ass lil Barlow playing a girl
>>575148779Frye can function a lot better without Shiver than Shiver can without Frye. Frye says stupid shit but she is rarely wrong. Shiver is the opposite
I've only saw it once so far but how often will Master Mega do a rocket powered jump out of the water instead of his normal jump?>>575147492Nope not this time your only seeing Sheldon this time because he's going to be replaced by player character in 4
>>575149301Speed Tank is so much fun with weapons like the Blaster or Explosher
>>575149301At the beginning I thought it was shit, but then I got a 2 star pair of Dual Splatties or whatever they're called and went back to do boss dens with it and now it is easily my favorite tank. The Boomerang with the auto feature and the dodge with explosions make you just a neverending one man army.
>>575142852Does anyone know?
>>575149047Frye doesn't have to or care about any advances it works real simple for her>Shiver I'm horny! sex now>Jumps her veemo ass faster than she can veemo
>>575149459>>575149531Yeah being able to constantly reposition yourself at the neurotic speed of a horse while recovering your ink if you have the part that restores ink per gadget use equipped feels so goddamn good.
>>575149635I dunno but god I wanna betroth this squid.
>>575149320frye mentions in game she follows shiver wherever she goes because frye's sense of direction is bad, so she still needs her.shiver is also one of the few people capable of handling frye because of how much of a chaotic mess she can be. sure frye can hang out with absolutely anybody, but she still needs someone to calm her down, or she'll end up accidentally destroying stuff.
>>575149721That plus a >50% main weapon damage up gadget to shit insane dps with extremely high uptime
Raiders is better than Side Order because OtH isn't there, obviously. OE was good in spite of OtH not because of them.
>>575149721Yeah that's exactly the set up i have. Add in the dualies dodge roll on top and it's a really nice combination, especially with the relic that lessens gadget cool downs while moving. The boomerang is triggering like every 5 seconds.
>>575149854This is just a blatant lie. OtH didn't make side order bad. The extremely static setting and overly quick, sterile story made side order bad. Not to mention the fact there are only 2 decent OtH tracks in Side Order whereas in Octo Expansion every single one is golden.
>>575150106>he likes shark bytes and nasty majesty
>buy physical>open box>first thing i see is a note how to dispose of the productok
>>575150228There are people who don't like Shark Bytes and Nasty Majesty?
shit's fun
Should 4 bring back tank types?
KETCHUP KETCHUP MUSTARD KETCHUP TASTY TASTY BRUSH YO TEETH!
>when you talk to big man and shiver too much you get their inner monologues>frye doesn't have onelmao
>>575150506Nothing inside that big ol' fivehead.
>>575150506That's actually pretty funny. Game has some much soul
>>575150506it's clever, she's the opposite to shiver so she shouts everything she has in her mind. you cannot mentally break her.
>>575149301It's pretty much mandatory when you start doing the post-game dungeons. Some of those salmonid arenas are fucking gigantic. We're talking stinger on the other side of spawning grounds gigantic.
stop dying you chucklefucks it's me, I'm the chucklefuck who keeps dying
close one
>>575150349I think going against any of the speed gadgets as subweapons on a turf war would make me kill myself
>>575149157>Salmonid, unlike in Salmon Run, have the exact same bouncy wacky physics as the Jelleton>Salmonid spawn by spewing out of some kind of ink portal straight into the air, just like Jelleton>Tank Upgrades are exactly like Marina's hacks>Spirhalite Crystal arenas are extremely similar and often straight up identical in their geometry to Floors from Side Order>Dungeons are practically 1:1 instances of the entire Side Order game>but le Gadget Parts aren't stackable like Color Chips and you don't lose them when you die and you don't le equip new ones on each Dungeon Floor so it's actually nothing like Side Order at all
>I tamed a million flying magical eels that will fight and die for me>This shark wearing sunglasses comes to help me sometimes because I married him and im his loyal servant
>>575150995stop noticing things, antijellite
they're gonna patch these stupid ass blue compasses guaranteed. what annoying shit
>>575151098unironic skill issue
>>575151063If I was Master Mega I'd also kill for my wife Shiver. He's so lucky.
Bro I already forgot how Side Order worked. Let's just forget that happened it doesn't even affect Splatoon lore anyway.
>>575151098Brainlet
>>575151098Literally how are you so fucking incompetent?
>>575151098low IQ issue
my index finger is hurting from holding down ZR for so longow
Getting the clears for different tanks on these challenge missions now, if you need me to go back to one for other tank clears, just let me know.
>>575151534sex with these veemos
>Big Man keeps nagging me about building stuff for the ship>can't because I'm in a roomkek
btw, the endless super dungeon is playable in coop, you just can't call for help on it specifically.
>>575151360Give the middle finger a turn
So now what.
>>575151897It's hard to fight against 9 years of muscle memory using index finger for ZRsadge
calling it nowthe bot was made by the scientist who cryogenically froze Judd
>>575151850Just unlocked it. Looks like someone in the party still needs tank-clears for it, so I can't select it yet.I can hover over the challenge missions, and whoever needs clears can ready up to indicate it.
>>575152172Why would the scientist who froze Judd build a bot that traces artifacts for a civilisation that existed 10,000 years after the scientists death?
Ha, the price for the arcade cabinets are both 2015 & 2017. That’s cute.
>>575152230The hidden ruins things are those 3 extra islands postgame, right? I haven't done those yet ( J )
>>575152441And the last one is 2022, for splat 3
>>575152473We're doing them now, if you look at the bottom right of the stage icon it'll show the different tank chests, which tells you which you need to do.You need to clear each stage with all tank types to unlock the super dungeon.
>>575152473yes, you need to finish all three ruins with all three tank types to unlock the super dungeon
>>575152264to help rebuild society
Raiders will not affect Salmon Run in future games. The devs usefully used the salt as a way of making the Spiralite Sloms different from all the others.

Agent 4 can be seen in Floor 500 of the Bottomless Buffet.

Literally just bought Raiders. Anything I should know before I start?

Salted Octotroopers.
4/10 too much salt
>>575153128pick a woomy
Erm, excuse me. Why am I having fun with this modern AAA shooter?
>>575153664That's right. Call of Woomy: Modern Race War 3.
i say AAA when they shoot me
>>575153128The game will keep pleasantly surprising you with how deep and not shit it is.
>>575153219It was an ok fight but floor 6969 with full Salty Off the Hook's sex dungeon. Now that was a floor to remember
>>575145016Why do homo faggot troons want everything to be about themselves?
wew lad
So you may have discovered grandpappys bot and killed my pet... but you will never stop me and my plan, freaks.
I found this ink puddle that led to this wasteland. In front of me was the Steel Helm, Platemail, & Greaves kneeling in front of a Splatana. The armor then rose and grabbed the Splatana, readying itself to fight. There was no ceph in the armor, but the will of a warrior lingered within it.
GG's Raiders!
ggs raiders
>he doesn't distribute his skill points evenly >he doesn't level up each tank evenly
>splatoon game>octavio does not make an appearance
>>575154661>FRYE PUNCH!!!!!armor goes all over the area>What a weakling couldn't even take a single punch
>xe keeps misgendering me as "he"not every splatoon player is like you
>don't want to join co-op because i haven't finished the game yet>scared that people will already be done with raiders once i reach post game
>>575155102Given how Salmon rooms can still fill up, I'm sure a lot of people will be fine running the max difficulty missions for a decent bit. It's some simple salmon killing fun.
>GT simps for a nigga named Bigglesworth Manfredoh no no no no no big man bros
>tfw I simp for a nigga named Bigglesworth Manfred
man the bad ending in raiders has to actually be the darkest one this franchise ever had.>if tartar wins everyone gets turned into brainwashed soldiers>if grizz wins everyonebecomes fuzzy hairballsbut if the salmon king wins then salmnids everywhere go berserker and every ceph, band, shopkeeper and everyone you ever knew gets ganged on and killed then eaten by an endless swarm of ravaging salmonids until everythig on-land gets wiped outpeople usually overblow these things but idk its just such a leap with an implied gore factor.
>>575155475Yeah but the music of someone going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH just makes it funny.Octo Expansions remains the creepiest, but only because of the music.
>>575155102Don't feel bad anon due to reasons I couldn't start playing till today. You ain't the only one who hasn't finished yet.
Do you see them doing post launch updates for this game?
>>575155563i think RoTM's bad ending is the creepiest solely because Grizz's laugh is haunting
How does Mechanic's powerlevel stack up against the agents?
>>575155627maybe for some QoL in menus or minor base features but not more
>>575155627Why not? They already have. As for content, I can see them adding a few things. It really depends what stage Splatoon 4 is at.
>>575155627i think at most they might add more qol features like a photo mode or jukeboxraiders is very complete content wise
>>575155726Mechanic has to fight flesh-eating hordes of rabid salmonids with advanced bootleg war crime weaponry. The hardest thing Agent 3 and Agent 4 had to fight was an incompetent DJ in a mech with like 2 attacks. Agent 8 fought Inner Agent 3 but that was a fucking dream. And she fought weird not-sloms inside a compooter but that was also, in a way, a dream.
Just chillin on treasure
>>575155563>>575155667OE is grim and sad because of the distorted colour pulse and the idols having to watch helplessly as their home gets blown upRoTM is creepy because of Grizz maniac laughter but it's held back by the fact the furballs look goofy but raiders hits different because we're simply told the outcome and the imagery implies that the salmon came along and started hunting everyone down until there was nobody left and the land was in ruinsalso there's an octo covering his eye implying he was hurt and it's not alot but it helps sell the idea that this is by far the most violent bad ending
holy fuck frye's bond buff is so good
You know who profits from the bad endings? Jellies.
>>575155627They might give us some new dungeons. Or take a good idea from SO and add in bonus dangerous stats for a new challenge dungeon. Like enemies are even faster and more aggressive, have more HP do more damage. fight in complete darkness stuff like thatAlong with QoL stuff that is oddly missing from this title.
>>575156396maybe in the other two but not in raiders... salmon actually have a taste for eating jellyfish
>>575156552That's what they want you to think.
>which also has a chance of fermenting salmonidsum what
>>575156619Enemies take 20% more damage when they are fermented
>>575156669thats lewd
>>575156619they take more damagefrye's special ferments them if you max her bond
funfact it's implied that the furrification is reversible with simply shaving it offafter the bad ending in RoTM the jellies started profiting off wax and shaving salons for the cephs and fish that wanted their hair gone
big man's song and dance is actually the best one. I love the little retarded wiggle he does when he hugs himself and looks at the camera also the mechanic looks so cute gazing at the disco lights
so how did you feel when you saw Lord Saltimatum?
>>575156886>Tako getting a bikini waxsexo
>>575157029I swear he sings more in this game than the entirety of splatoon 3.
>>575156886Meanwhile sanitized are just permanently fucked and will always be green abominations.
>just b urselfA-ay...
>>575157159he gets a solo in the credits and i think the final boss song as well as the climax grandfest shout reprise so I think you're right but I won't be sure until someone finally rips the songs off of the switch 2....
Love this big nigga like you wouldn't believe
AY! (I HATE IT HERE I HATE THIS BARGE WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY CAN WE PLEASE GO HOME CAN YOU STOP MOLESTING THE MECHANIC I JUST WANT TO PLAY URCHIN QUEST III!)
>>575157190atch seems to be doing alright tho it did take alot of effort to un-greenfy her.but unlike the other two endings Marina doesn't get killed and only inkopolis square gets affected by the beam thanks to agent 8 covering the statue in ink so maybe in a few years marina can just cure them all
>>575157380he feels so much cooler in raiders like he is still sort of a wimp but he had alot more of presence
>get "max charge speed" splatling>feels like mini splat charge speed but with hydra fire speed + range>shreds everything, even salted bosses
>>575157524this reminds me I was unironically setting up to play dragon quest 3 on a nes emulatorjust gotta finish up this mother 1 remake romhack first
nogami... I NEED those shiver kisses...
Any raid rooms?
Oh also, tip, if you clear a level on Super Spicy, it also counts as a clear on Spicy. So you don't have to play every single level 3 times, just once on normal and once on Super Spicy.
im going to fuck frye in her ass !!!the verification...was not required....
my woomy got molested by shiver again...
>>575158123That's good to know, wasted a bit of time doing the first island's spicy versions and already got tired of it.
>>575158168Fryes going to slap you on your ass !!!
>>575158031Ay Ay! (Can you stop showing so much skin all the time? I've already fell down twice because I keep slipping on another one of Shiver's pussy-juice puddles!)
I'm telling Marie all about what Shiver and Frye did to me. It's not professional.
>>575158105You looking for post game or someone still playing the main game?
>>575158462don't. Marie is a known predator as well she would just futher molest you
>>575157816This you?
>>575158319did you know mantas have two penises?
Haha so this pilot hasn't showered in how long haha? Out on a barge in the baking sun? Haha.
>>575158895everybodty knows that.big man and his big penises are the reason shiver and frye don't go around raping every ceph they lock their eyes on.the mechanic is only suffering a fraction of what big man has to go thru every day of his life...
splatoon is NOT a sexual game
Speed tank redeemed itself for me solely for bringing back throwable bombs
>>575159197it's a game about little kids spraying goo at each other all day
Big Man is not for sexual. He is a pure honest guy and it's not his fault he is forced to hang out with nasty unpredictable thugs like Frye and sultry penny pinching flirts like Shiver.
>>575133461i wish she was agender just to piss off all the right people
>>575159279That must have sounded a lot better in your head anon
>>575159197Nope not one bit not a single bit of sex anything in the game none nadda zero ziltch
frye actually might be a terrorist btw
does each weapon variant in raiders have stats different enough to truly be called a unique weapon?or are they all just glorified skins?
>>575159475the real reason cuttlefish wasn't in this story mode is because he would've had a heart attack at the sight of his grandchild dressed up like a hooker
>>575159475Sex? No Nogami just likes seeing his wife like this.
>>575159207fuck you meanneither of its bomb gadgets are throwable
me?i like silly woomies.
the machanic has to sleep with one of his eyes open because of the threat of shiver
>>575159603>Implying
>>575159731shiver is scared enough as is already, her inner monologue confirms this
>>575153651why
Do you understand now why Agent 4 lives in a shack in the wilderness. She is protected from idols in the distance getting closer.
FUCK YOU SHIVER>nooo you can't dress up really hot and be in fashion magazines nooo you have to grow old with deep cut that's what you truly want nooo don't leave me
Shiver X Mechanic is canon
>>575160080It's canon but mechanic doesn't want anything to do with it.
>>575160067She's jealous and clingy because Deep Cut are the only friends she has
>MUP DA DOO DIDDA PO MO GUB BIDDA BE DAT TUM MUHFUGEN BIX NOOD COF BIN DUB HO MUHFUGGA
>>575159907Or pick a veemo
>>575160080Look at Shiver's ancestor. He had a wrench. Mechanic must reinvigorate the Hohojiro bloodline with new mechanic blood.
>>575160256>bix nood
why is frye's full name frye onahole?
>>575160080not really, shiver saw a woomy and got horny but immediately stopped herself and the mechanic was not into it at all.
I don't think I like shiver any more...
>>575158765yeah
anyone wanna do some spicy raids?
>>575157524uhhhhh it's Manta Quest III actually you fucking NGYER
>>575160256Raiders 2 leaked dialogue
>>575160080Crazy how Nintendo said Shiver's canon love interest is ~you~. I need femdom pics of Shiver sexing up a timid yeb mechanic.

they should keep using deep cut for a raiders 2, imagine how soulless it'd be without them.

you guys ready for the raiders DLC in a few months?
>>575161085>implying a spinoff where the squid sisters have to actually get off their fat asses and do something useful wouldn't be a breath of fresh air for the franchise
Uhhh, guys? I thought this was supposed to be a shit spinoff. Why is it good and fun?

Finally unlocked joining help raids and this dropped from the first one I succeeded (Spicy Chowda Ruins). Don't know yet if that's impressively good, but I went ahead and upgraded it +5 right away.
>>575161845Really, this is just a thinly veiled desire to see Callie cutscenes with the same quality as the Raiders one. Especially close up expressions.I'm imagining a world where Marie, for example, has more than three expressions.

The Shiver scene is a tourist filter, people who think she is flirting out of nowhere are secondaries, real inkheads know she's a loser and accidentally showed the mechanic the side only deep cut sees.

>>575164628Any year now.
Joining help raids with randos is actually fun, I thought they would be piss walks, but they're actually more challenging than solo. They are also dangerously not very unlike random PUGs that I remember from WoW. Combined with the fact that you can spec for almost every traditional role/class, the "spell" cooldowns, your minion, third person view, it just feels weirdly familiar. I'd play a woomy MMO.>>575162151>it will be dime a dozen junk by the time you get to later stagesI suspected that, but I played most games without upgrading anything or using any items, because there could always be something better later. So I wanted to play this one a little differently.What's the maximum star rating of weapons and items?>>575162224Never seen that kind yet. But I like having range and ink coverage.

>>575165717>he thinks the final fest affected the spinoff game
>>575164628>>575165579raiders already has third kits in weapon variants
>>575165914no i meant theres a sunken scroll that says this
>>575165990prove it
>they split the splat 3 team in half, one did raiders and the other the updates + side orderi'm choosing to believe this, also no way they don't have splat 4 in dev already.
>>575165717That's the sort of logic I can only assume came from Frye.
>actually enjoying Splatoon without having to take a break from angerit's been years.....
>>575166056
>>575166097I think Raiders has been in development since the first Splatfest, because Gear vs Grub vs Fun directly influenced the designs and dialogue of the characters. This was proven in an interview.
>>575166285if so then the outcome likely changed nothing because would this be a cooking game if grub won?
>>575166169Erm. No anon this is just Deep Cut accepting defeat and wriggling their way out of it? I doubt Splatoon 4 will be a prequel.
>>575166169Holy fuck actual other characters faces are in this game. Are there others?
>>575166385Team Future won by losing. That's canon now.
>>575165073I love how cute my woomy looks on a surfboard But how will they expand on it to be a ceph surfboard mode in 4?
Spl4t won't be a prequel, you'll just hit up some old fashioned county with a war museum
>>575166696The Cephboard better be a sub weapon or special in Spl4toon.
>>575166869we're obviously getting 1980s Dekotora culture
>>575166869It will be Inkopolis again. Or maybe Calimari County or somewhere with a more traditional aesthetic. Maybe the Squid Sisters will be the main idols again because Nogami has decided there are enough idols for the time being.Or maybe like usual it will affect the single player. Maybe Nogami assumes the people mean "we want normal good old fashioned octarians back".
>>575166953That's a cool-looking truck, looks so fucking awesome.
>>575166952As a sub you would be rather vulnerable to attack I can't see any possible way for it to work. As a special we don't need two reefsIt would have to be a new mode a new racing mode.

>>575168274At least you're not overleveled for where you are in the story because you keep smashing your head against salt versions of older stages.
>>575168696my one and only gripe with raiders is that the buried ruins levels are simply fancy dps checksno amount of skill can overcome that, and that kinda sucks
>>575168665Just found out the only thing she says about her family is that she wishes her mom taught her how to make friendsdamn she hates her family
>>575168240m8 Shiver considers Fridays the best days of the weekend just because she spends a good chunk of the day with Frye and Big Man. That should tell you enough of how she feels at home.

maybe i'm a masochist but it'd be way cooler if the bottomless buffet was just a straight shot from floor 1-100
>>575171385still wish you could equip one gadget from either other tank instead of its predecessori mean, T-tanks operate away from their gadgets so using a mobility gadget from the S-tank would allow for easy repositioning. meanwhile a P-tank using a T-tank's turret could easily add to its DPS, and so on
>can't equip splattelites on my speed tanki do not like this. let me choose, why am i only limited to one tactical gadget but not any from power?
>>575173929>>575173980it's unironically better that you can't choose from both other tanks for your third gadget because that would dilute the class identities
>>575173980Why would you want to do that when they synergize with tact tank's ability?
Why is it always daytime? Gimme some nights with Deep Cut
>>575174059i mean if you're the type who can beat floor 100 in bottomless buffet then the game's rules should be a suggestion to you at best anyway you still have exclusive relic abilities per tank that should make up the identity of the classand can't you equip more than one charge ability to a tank at once, anyway?

Are all the extra relics upgrades locked to random chests in the buffet or are they all from specific floors? Like if you keep replaying the same level will you eventually pull more of them?

>>575190574This piss me off because it sound like a big reveal but since the game didn't focus on the clans much outside of the bosses it feels like a whatever reveal
>>575168240Me
Woomy...
I like how Raiders gives us the info about Deep Cuts clans we all wanted because Splatoon 3 told us basically nothing but by doing so it also makes all the shit we learnt in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 irrelevant. So there was a clan of Octolings fighting Salmonids in the Splatlands for centuries they were just still hanging out on the surface even during the Great Turf War?
>>575191060We already knew this in 3 tbf, they talked about how the Splatlands weren't affected at all by the Great Turf Wars (possibly because if the three clans).but yes it's fairly retarded how octos just lived in peace with inklings not that far away
>>575191348shit retcon
>>575191348We were told the whole world was affected by the Turf War. It was taught because there wasn't enough room on the planet due to rising sea levels everyone fought for dominance of the surface. Now I'm supposed to believe only the Octolings on one continent were forced to live in kettles for 100 years where they struggled daily to maintain their electricity. Why didn't they just fuck off to the giant empty continent that seemingly everyone lives in now.
>>575191560I don't disagree that it's retarded but I interpret it as the splatlands just being special because of the three light stuff, if they could stop a calamity they could probably help against a flood, as far as we know the splatlands weren't as affected by it at least. And it was a pretty isolated place before the beidge, as there's only deserts all around so it wasn'teas to get to. The truth is that they needed an excuse to have anotehr octo idol that acts different from Marina and went with that
>Brella>That damage>That fire rateI'm in love

Is the final boss based on a bible monster?
So whens the Raider themed concert.
>>575189187yeah it's fucking hilarious
>>575194397Eldritch deity of the lovecraftian variety moreso
Ever since splat 2 released I could never not see Marina and Pearl as Woolie and Pat respectively. I don't think I've said this out loud to anyone and it's been eating me up inside all these years.
So I have a question, what do you guys think of Survivalist Mode? I am kinda struggling to decide on if I want Raider Mode or Survialist Mode, since I know this game is made for kids but on the other hand I am not the best at Splatoon.
>>575195589It literally doesn't matter as they said the rewards you get are the same no matter the difficulty
>>575195589Survivalist feels just right difficulty wise to me, most of the campaign was still really easy
>>575195589I thought it was easy, but I'm also the best at Splatoon.
>>575195615yo guys mario ripped off splatoon raiders
>>575195703I know, but I was considering giving myself a challenge. But on the other side I don't want to get completely obliterated. I was like wondering how people felt about the difficulty so I can get an idea of which to stick with.
>>575195589The game is balanced around survivalist and in the postgame you are forced to use it.
GGs S and moonrunes I don't know what it says. I'm calling it here to take a break to eat and such. Thanks for joining it was really fun!>>575189861Hope to see you again fellow woomy.
>>575195961Survivalist is the closest thing to the SR EVP experience
>>575195961It just comes down to if you want have fun or if you want to beat your balls with a hammer
>>575195998GGs! I had fun. Gud woomies
>>575195998>>575196112GG's!
>>575196035Survivalist isn't THAT hardNow... some of the post-game nonsense on the other hand...
>>575195992Ok, then I will use survivalist then to make the difficulty change less steep then I guess.
