This will be my first Splatoon game. I am picking up my copy of Splatoon 3 this morning, but I won't have a chance to play until I finish work! 🦑🐙
Same here, first Splatoon game! After playing the demo I preordered it!

Sounds like all my preorders from 3 different places all made it to my house on time today. I ordered the carrying case to match the OLED I got a couple weeks ago. The new Pro Controller and of course the game. Still gotta get through the last 40ish mins of work followed by my 20-30 min drive home. But I’m super happy everything will already be there. :)

I hope everyone who’s already been able to dive into the game are loving it. :D
 
This is so much fun!
I finished the story, but I did skip a lot of parts of it, so I will need to go back to clear everything up and the story in my opinion is so much better than Octo Expansion!

It does feel a little like 2, but definitely waaaay better.

Hey! So, I never bothered finishing the story for 2, only the expansion. Would it be better to finish that first or would it be better to just go ahead and start 3’s story?

Also… Dang, you finished that fast! Hahaha

I would just start on 3's story. I think you'll be fine.
If you want to know the story, I'm search you can just find Story Clips only on Youtube.

Yea, I was told there may be spoilers in clothes that people could be wearing, so I just wanted to go through it fast.
 
I spent the whole Friday playing single mode (to avoid spoilers) and it was so fun! I enjoyed it so much that I've finished most of the stages, only a few left to complete. And the ending was just amazing!

Today is Salmon Run time, my favourite mode in the whole game, the rest is far behind in my scoreboard, and omg it's so good. Even though buggy things happened few times I'm still having a great time.
I didn't even know that I needed ability to throw eggs that much, it's a game changer 😁

Oh! I’ve never heard that before. Maybe I need to get started too! And probably look up clips on YouTube after to avoid spoilers too. Thanks for your input! Super excited to start!
 
how is the connection in this game? did they improve it at all or does it still suck? i loved 1 to bits but didnt play 2 much because the disconnects plagued me, no matter what i did to my router/how good my wifi was.

hoping 3 improved it. if so i might consider getting it.

From my experience the connection is really bad and unstable, and I have Interned connected to the Switch via cable. It's really disappointing and annoying. The fact that Nintendo is still using peer to peer rather than dedicated servers is beyond ridiculous.

Some more details: I don't think I've been ever disconnected during the match but many times just after a match ended, followed by the warning or even few minutes ban. There are problems with matchmaking. Sometimes I don't receive exp in regular matches or rewards in Salmon Run.
So yeah, it's definitely bad, and even that I'm still having tons of fun it shouldn't be like this at all.

how have they managed to make 3 games with the same problem every time? and make it worse by instilling bans for disconnects? probably wont pick it up then. that's so annoying and frustrating.

This exactly. Happens to me a lot after SR matches. I still get the win though but sometimes, it's just black screen and no results while the sound is playing on the background lol. Then comm error. Makes me not want to play the game as often as I used to. I don't remember getting tons of errors (like this) on S2, even on release. I got a 20 min ban a few times but the worse was 40 min. I was like, "I'll just call it a day then".
 
So how are we feeling about the new Splatfest? Are you team gear, grub or fun?

This theme feels kind of weird to me, but my only Splatfest experiences are from splatoon 1 and the 3 testfire, so I'm not exactly an expert here.... In the end I decided on team fun. I wouldn't survive on a deserted island anyway so I might as well go out with a bang.
 
I'm glad there's a new splatfest and one where I understand what's going on. I definitely bombed the first one since Splat3 is my first game, lol. Very intimidating playing on maps I don't understand.

I'm torn between Gear and Grub. Like the smart side of me wants gear but on the other hand I do like snacks.
 
Gear made the most sense to me, but playing with two other people who chose grub and fun, we all had to figure out how to stay on a team together. So, I’m on Team Fun. I like the color the most, but it was my last choice concept-wise.
 
I went with team gear because I like the color and design the most. Was disappointed when it tells you that you don’t get to keep the t-shirt lol
 
New Splatfest for early November!

Grass vs. Fire vs. Water

May the best starter type win! Which team will you choose?

We’re definitely not winning the popularity vote, but I’m team grass at heart! 🍃
 
Not at all surprised about this new splatfest theme. It felt like an inevitability now that there's three options and a new pokemon game is releasing soon.

I'm 100% on team grass! No doubt about it. I almost never pick the non-grass starter.
