Since it's clear people are assuming I'm the bad rather than that I'm pointing out flaws with the game that would make it hard for a new comer to get into it, peace out. I hope the game continues to do well, but I'm not holding my breath. Outstanding sales just means the hype train worked, and...

I'm concerned how 7pm EST would be a slow time unless the east coast just never bothered to pick up the game but: This hypothesis makes sense, albeit this is something Nintendo needs to look at if that's really how it works. Again, if there are REALLY that many people in turf wars, I...

Until the game doesn't ask me to sit and wait for a match that still has 2+ minutes to run its course, I'm not so sure I can believe this at all. Surely, it can find one ending in 30 seconds if there aren't enough people available to get a new lobby going.

Hate? No. If it was hate, you wouldn't see it at all, or worse - I would literally just slather the game in octo-ink and the post would be much shorter because I wouldn't care THAT much if I hated it. It's called wanting the game to improve. And right now, this thread is constantly proving...

Gosh, there have been too many times where this would have been useful. Effective? Can't determine. My experience in Planetside 2 is hit or miss, but there it's a numbers game, so someone is bound to listen. More apathy. Look, when I'm topping my team or coming out less than 50 points...

This is enough to tell me you didn't read my post very comprehensively. THE MAJORITY of players in turf wars are high levels. I don't even need the full five fingers on one hand to count the number of sub-10s playing in any given match. It's usually 2-3, including me. The game was fun when...

This apathy is why the game is on the way out. Try leaving ranked for regular some time. I shouldn't be waiting for a match to end at prime time for starters. And coming out on top of my team 3/4 games I play and the other 1/4 I'm right behind the lead guy means it ain't me. Just played a...

It's sunday night, 7pm EST, and I'm sitting there for two minutes waiting for a battle to finish because there are no other available players at the moment. I finally get into a battle, and its me as a level 7 (circumstances, was using brother's ID, literally only took interest in Wii U for...

I called it a bit ago. Splatoon's longevity isn't really long. This game is actually pretty newb unfriendly. Kind of like how Smash Bros on the surface seems like a fun, easy to pick up game, but the competitive nature of people makes online a nightmare of learning 1000 tricks or get wrecked...

While shooting, the camera does not auto rotate in the direction you're moving in. However, if you press Y while moving in a direction and while shooting, your view will snap into the direction you're moving.

This thread makes good points, but also seems to excuse the team in the process like one misstep and the match is lost. Yeah, losing a key point can spell defeat. Your team can also respond to that and cause the opposing team to lose key points. Or they can all get splatted by one dude. One...

Well, as .52 gals and their ilk get more popular, a single defense upgrade will render them weaker in an instant. Takes an extra shot with a single defense. The other automatics don't suffer from someone putting on defense. This game's problems stem partially from weapon imbalances, and yes...

No, it's easy to use, just can be bested by someone with a ranged weapon and the ability to use it. I'm not counting strategems here as part of the difficulty, just how easy it is to work the weapon in a new-guy vs new-guy situation. Because we're in trouble if the game is only going to be...

Rollers are actually quite powerful even at range. The Splattershot Jr. and Roller work at pretty much the same range. The Splattershot can extend a bit beyond the killzone of the roller fling, but a player still has to get uncomfortably close and their aim has to be much sharper than with the...

To be fair, any weapon would be forced to turn tail and run when their target activates bubbler. Except those with Krak-on, but then, eating a Krak-on just to beat a bubble is a poor use of the Krak-on. It's better for smashing through enemy lines.
