i know its healthy to be critical of things you love but i feel like splatoon fans hate splatoon so much. its honestly kind of crazy to me theres like a stockholm syndrome quality to it. everyone thinks this will finally be the patch where they nerf pencil or whatever tf and its like so what if they never nerf pencil in a substantial way bc the devs view the game entirely differently than western comp players on twitter. the vast majority of you wouldnt even notice a pencil nerf bc theres no casual meta. pencil can get fvcked up by clash blaster if your positioning is bad. whatever
i dont even know where im going with this its just close to year 2 of splatoon 3 and all of a sudden im very tired. idk if its bc im trying too hard to 5 star zf but i feel like something happened and i cant properly enjoy the game (at least in pvp, i still like salmon run lmao. maybe its bc im never around ppl who complain abt salmon run) and before youre like but reel! you should take a break from the game or practice some other mindset habit i saw in a squid school video! that might change how i feel a week from now and maybe ill have some good games on zf but thats not going to do anything abt the weird sour feeling the splatoon fandom has developed. theres so much visceral disappointment in nintendos direction with the game that its like ppl forgot what made them like splatoon in the first place. but i dont think thats even the point tbh i think some of you genuinely need to get out of your own heads and like find a different hobby
esp since the game updates are winding down and ppl are starting to talk abt splatoon 4/switch 2 im surprised how much hope ppl are putting into this hypothetical splatoon 4 (which is totally going to be a launch title for switch 2 in 2025 btw) like do you think it will fix ppls criticisms with splatoon 3? will it have an interesting meta and frequent well-thought-out patches? will the maps be "good"? will they bandaid fix the connection and matchmaking issues that have been so prevalent thruout every splatoon game that i became desensitized to them and forgot they existed? will it have the customizable apartments that ppl on twitter really really wanted? will they remove clam blitz for some reason? how many of you really want to spend hundreds of dollars on a switch 2 + splatoon 4 game + online service just to realize its as underpolished as splatoon 3 and drop it after 2 months?
tldr if youre really sick of splatoon i think you should do something else. you arent prochara youre not karmically bound to splatoon you can just walk out. its at the end of its natural lifespan anyways. there are so many other games that will piss you off less. not me tho im going to be here forever
