I wouldn't pay personally. Unless the dlc provided outstanding content. Zelda for 20 bucks with much added replayability was worth 20 to me. Maps alone don't warrant enough. I personally believed in not paying for dlc to begin with. The 60 dollar initial purchase was just the membership card to the 'store' to blow more money on what should have just been provided in the first place. Free dlc games will always have my attention and respect. Anyways, I don't see maps working too well with the way the rotation system works let alone the apparently concerned pool sizes. Paid dlc thins pools. A huge no from me.Obviously we want free DLC like the first game. But after year one, would you pay for DLC to keep the game fresh for longer....see what I did there...sorry.
So what are your thoughts?
Yeah, I think it's safe to say that the story was a major letdown.I would be willing to pay like 5 bucks for an alternate Story mode with the roles of Callie and Marie flipped, complete with all new dialogue and songs meant to reflect that.
Callie definitely gets the shaft in Splatoon 2's single player as of right now. She appears in the final boss fight and that's it. She does not even appear in the SP overworld after you beat the game. I like both Callie and Marie about equally, so it was sad to see Callie get so little screen time just because she lost the last splatfest.
You could also unlock more weapon variants and more sunken scrolls maybe too.

I gave this some more thought and I think I'd like paid story DLC even in the form of like, level packs or something, similar to what they did with the super mario bros game for the 3ds. It would be interesting to see how they can combine elements from the existing story mode in unique ways, or even introduce new mechanics.I would like if it was like, story mode DLC that added levels or something. But idk, paying for exclusive online weaps just feels wrong to me. That said I would definitely buy it anyway if they did go that route, RIP
Now that you say this, I think it could be something to think about.I'd pay $5 to have an Octoling character. That's about it. I don't buy DLC often. Unless it adds more story I don't tend to purchase it, that being said, if they were to allow a story where you would play as an Octoling and it was a reverse story from where it is now and you could choose to play as one online I would pay money for that, even if it was just an Octoling online.
Honestly story mode has always taken a back seat with Splatoon. And even then the focus is on gameplay and fun more than the story itself, with splat 2's final boss being an exception. (It's still fun, but definitely more story-driven than splat 1's gameplay-based final boss.) I think splat 2's story mode was great, just not what some people were expecting after the squid sisters backstory was published.Seriously, how late in development was Splatoon 2's story planned? There's no way it would take them this short to develop the whole game.
That story just amounted to nothing in the end though. It looks like Sheldon alone was going to be the guide at first, but they threw in the Squid Sisters really late just for pandering.Honestly story mode has always taken a back seat with Splatoon.
