Topic: Splatoon 2

GOing out with a bang!

The Octoling amiibo are coming November 9th.

Well they might as well get Fork VS Spoon out of the way, I can't see them selling their online service with Splatfests themes like that

I feel really burnt out on Splatoon 2.

All the cheaters/autoaiming tryhards and the non-English names are stressing me out to such a great, infuriating degree that I'm just done.

I hope Nintendo Switch Online prevents, and even permanently bans those folks. They don't have any rights in being in Splatoon 2!

I understand banning cheaters but people with non-english names? I think banning most of the world is quite extreme

I'd settle for just banning the ones who wear the gas mask. Wearing it unironically is deserving of a ban.

I just threw up in my mouth at the racism.

@baller478 It ain't good enough.

@OctoInk20 How do non-English names stress you out? Are you scared people who don’t speak English are better players than you?

I could kind of understand being a bit more stressed if they were Japanese names since it is generally agreed upon in the competitive community that Japan is the best at this game. It can be intimidating going up against those who appear to be Japanese because it can feel like your outclassed. The rest of the stuff about banning them and such is a big no-no tho.

@OctoInk20 You literally bought an online game made by 任天堂, produced by 野上恒, and directed by 天野裕介, 井上精太 and 佐藤慎太郎.

If you can't deal with non-English, do us all a favour and ban yourself. Go bang some sticks together in a cave for entertainment.

"They don't have any rights in being in Splatoon 2!"

They literally made the frikkin game, you utter trowel.

I apologies if this has been asked before I've read back a few pages in the thread but couldn't quite bring myself to read all 232. Is the game worth it if you don't enjoy online multiplayer? The game looks great and from what I have read about it has a wealth of good content but every one seems to focus on the online aspect of the game which makes me wonder if the offline parts are not as good. I love local multiplayer getting everyone around the TV with a few beers and pizza but online multiplayer just seems cold somewhat pointless to me. Also I understand there is a single player mode, obviously it's not what you buy the game for but is it worth considering or just something they tacked on because they felt they had to?

@Arpie I don't typically enjoy multiplayer games but I find myself enjoying Splatoon, so you might feel the same way.
But the offline content isn't great unless you buy Octo Expansion...

@Kimyonaakuma Thank you for the reply so is the offline content only single player then? Octo expansion looks interesting but I don't really like the idea of having to buy another thing on top of the base game just to make it worth my while.

@Maxz What did you expect from a guy that goes on insane Twitter rants? The rant you see here is nothing compared to that guy's Twitter page lmao.

@Arpie Everybody focuses on it because well, the game focuses on it. The Hero Mode and Octo Expansion (the two singleplayer modes, the latter of which you have to buy desperately but it is better than the Hero Mode) are more or less training grounds for the multiplayer, which is the gane's focus. If you enjoy it, depends on if you mind buying a game for 60€ for about 10 hours of content. And mind you that is IF you do everything both modes offer. The rewards for doing everything though are mostly for the multiplayer, though.

@GoldenGamer88 thank you for the reply. Sorry what doesn't seem clear to me is if there is any local multiplayer at all? I couldn't give two hoots about online but would put a lot of time into local multiplayer. No issue with the single player is limited it's not the focus of the game.

@Arpie You can only play local multiplayer if you know someone with a Switch, you can't just share one screen

@Kimyonaakuma Thanks for the confirmation, that's what I was worried about. Shame they didn't bother to implement local multiplayer. Me, my wife and my friends regularly indulge in some gaming and were looking forward to giving this a go, still it's saved me £40.

Would be great to be able to play ranked battles without the count down going to 1 almost immediately after the game starts
