Splatoon Splatoon General Discussion (HYPE THREAD)

Dang, GAME website has been down for maintenance since last night right as I was about to preorder the game and the inkling girl.
I sure do hope that the Splatoon bundles and Inkling amiibo are not shown as sold out when GAME.co.uk have finished updating their website...

I wonder what GAME are actually updating their website for?.. They have only recently updated the site this year...

Maybe to update pages with more games coming soon or something? I hear we're supposed to get an Attack on Titan game later this month, but was moved to TBC for this year. Just speculation, but I'm not sure. But yeah, I don't want the amiibo's to be sold out yet...

Ah, that sucks. I remember in the UK there was another Game store aside from GAME, but the two joined up about... 5 years ago? I think about that long... maybe longer.... Not quite sure.

people sure learn fast...

This isn't actually too difficult to do, I got the hang of it pretty quickly in the tutorial mode. All you have to do is press ZR at the height of your jump cause it overrides holding ZL to be the squid. And it's not too difficult to go in a straight line once you get the feel of the angle you need to face.

And this is coming from someone who can't shoot for toffee. :p

You mean Gamestation.

I liked Gamestation.

That was it! Yeah, I liked Gamestation too.

Anyway, GAME was back up last night so I finally got to preorder the game and inkling girl! ^_^ Now I just have to sit through a couple weeks of assignments and I'm free! XD
 
This game is starting to interest me more. I tried downloading the demo, but it wouldn't let me. Is it still going on?
 
Hmm, to be honest I dislike Splatoon from what I've seen, but I don't have a WiiU so I can't witness it.But to be honest, Nintendo are bad at the moment :U
 
The demo/Global Testfire was amazing. I had an absolute blast playing the game and I'm really excited for its release. I'm so happy to finally have a shooter game that appeals to me, as it's not focused on things like head-shotting/killing other people to get ahead. In fact, Splatoon doesn't even give you props for doing it. It's all about that turf. B)

I'm also pretty psyched to hear that they'll be offering more and more DLC maps every few weeks. I think that's a great way to keep things fresh. I have a feeling at the least the first few will likely be free, too. (Though I can't say for sure, but I think they're doing their best to promote the game as much as they can, and free DLC will help with that.)

The only thing that has me a little bummed is that creating your own matches with friends won't be available until August, apparently. I feel that's something they should have ready at launch, but I guess after Global Testfire, maybe they just found they have more to perfect before they do that. Either way, it'll make streams a little lackluster for awhile, since I was looking forward to playing with friends off the bat.

Definitely hyped, though. Nintendo is really bringing it this year and I think it's only the beginning. I'm excited to see what more is in store with E3.

What do you mean by props? If you're talking about kill-streaks being rewarded, etc., then yeah, but I at least know that when you kill somebody, a pretty large area around them gets covered with your ink color (That seems like the best way contribute in turf wars while using a charger weapon, from my experience playing the game).

I'm pretty sure you still do get points for killing people, just not very much.

It was only available to play last weekend. I'm don't think it'll open up again :/
 
My favorite thing that still has me so excited is that they literally confirmed we will be getting new content EVERY WEEK OR TWO and that's through this summer!

I mean it's not the aim of the game and they don't really give you anything special for it. You're not counting up a kill list (I know they do show it in number at the end, but it really doesn't mean anything). Sure, they explode in your ink color and it takes them out of commission for a few seconds (which is definitely helpful), but I've found that I gain a lot more from avoiding the combat whenever I can and concentrating on covering territory. I love that. I finally feel like it's a shooter game where I don't have to be concerned with standing around trying to shoot some person in the head. I know the charge shot weapon seems to be geared somewhat toward that, but I have plenty of other options not to use it if I so choose.
 
I haven't seen any in here yet but I've already found quite a few on other sites.

If you guys want to post any spoilers make sure you put it in a spoiler so you don't ruin it for anyone that doesn't want to see. Review copies have been sent out and information is leaking out like crazy and I've even seen a few people get a hold of physical retail copies.

Anyway just be mindful if you post spoilers!
