Topic: Splatoon - OT

The reason why the map is on the Gamepad at all times, is because the map changes all the time. Each stain of ink changes how the map looks, it changes how fast you can move, it changes where you need to paint, etc. What "other online shooter" with the same kind of dynamics in the map system are you referring to?

Did anyone get the T-shirt from the deals on Nintendo Store UK? I wasn't really that bothered about it when I pre-ordered but actually looking at it in person I'm really starting to like it. Not tried it on yet mind, I'm not 'fresh' enough to wear it yet 😅

I need to keep reminding myself that when people say "it's a $60 game" they're talking about it being $60US. And complaining. Because America. A place where only a few years ago it was $50US for full retail titles and $30US for cheaper titles. Because Splatoon here in Aussieland is also $60.... $60AU.... in quite a few stores but it's not the RRP. And here $60 is pretty good given that we're used to paying something more like $80.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure NA is the only region that doesn't have a discount on it.

I got the t-shirt from the GameStop pre-order. It looks the same as the NSUK, only in black. Yeah don't have the age for that but it's a nice giveaway...

Soooooo.. Did anyone else see the awesome sunkin scrolls video by gamexplain? The lore to splatoon is actually pretty cool and I think could be a good set up for future games :3 just saying

I choose not to spoil it. I'll be playing through in about a week, anyways.

Only able to play it for about fifteen minutes this morning before I had to go to work so was only able to squeeze in a couple of online games. Forgot to disable motion controls though so will see how it plays without that when I get home.

Question though: in the Inkopolis lobby, there's some side-alley I was warned about and some guy popping out of a manhole. Does going up to one of those start the single player campaign?

The side alley creature can get you special stuff, if you have the money for it. The manhole is where the single player campaign is located.

Shame I have to wait a while before I get my copy

Thanks

Hahaha nice

I've gotta say the Prima guide is quite useful for telling me all the abilities, it stops me from going to the games manual and it showed some previews for future content that looks awesome! Good tips for weapons and maps as well! really pleased with it!

Someone probably beat me to this, but the guy in the manhole is Captain Cuddlefish. He starts the single player campaign. The guy in the alley upgrades your weapons, according to the Direct, but I don't know the deal with that.

Just picked up the game and amiibo. I cant play until tomorrow but I'm excited!

What's everyone's favourite map? I still love saltspray rig, but the mall is pretty great.

Port and Camp look awesome :3

If you see someone with some specific cool gear in the Plaza, you can ask that guy to get it for you. If you have the money, he can get it for you in 1 day. And apparently that guy can add seashell slots to your gear for 30,000 points (instead of waiting for a win at a Splatfest). There are probably other uses as well.

Speaking of buying from other users, will you actually receive the money from the users who buy your gear?
