Topic: Splatoon 3

I'm too scared to play Anarchy.

@Croctopus I still have all the banners, badges, titles, clothes, weapons. I guess I COULD be happy, but I no longer have screenshots of the Splatfests when I explored Splatsville during the October 2023 and January 2024 events. You know, when they decorated the place differently than the standard Splatfest?

Well, I believe that only offline data is stored on your system. So if it cannot be unlocked offline, it won't be deleted. IE, gear (outside of hero gear replica) weapons (outside of hero shot replica and jr.), badges (outside of DJ Octavio, etc.) banners (you see where I am going with this?) stay even if you delete on-system data.

So if I can't re-unlock the stuff from story mode...then what's the point of me playing that mode then?

@Croctopus I don't care about Tableturf.

No, I mean that those items will be deleted, because they are offline. So they must be re-unlocked.

Just a quick question. When does Shiver, Frye, and Big Man announce the Splatfest in-game? If I recall correctly, they announce it a full week before the Splatfest begins, but I would like to make sure. I wanna try to start getting conch shells as early as I can.

@MarioLover92 Usually this Friday, a week before the fest.

@MarioLover92 They announce the fest one week early

@IceDomino @CaleBoi25 OK, cool. Thank you both!

@Croctopus Haha, yes, that's one of my favorite facts! I hope we'll be able to customize 4 if he is in Side Order!

Is it bad that I’ve never played the last two Splatoon games before this one?

@IceDomino From someone who’s almost in S+ rank you get used to it. It’s just part of the classic Splatoon experience (bad teammates, losing the lead at the last second, dying in silly ways, getting sniped by chargers 1000 feet across the map, and even more) 😵‍💫

@IceDomino No it's not. It's fine if Splatoon 3 was your first Splatoon game. Same thing with many other game series, I've played Mario Kart 64 before I played Super Mario Kart, for example.

You've been reported😠 (jk<3)

Regardless of which Splatoon you played first, I think your first splatoon game experience will probably be the most magical experience. But Splatoon 2 single player was great! I played the heck of out it. I will still go back and play it again. Although, I think Splatoon 2 doesn't get massive discounts because Nintendo want's to encourage people to Splatoon 3.

So, yeah, if you want more Splatoon, I easily recommend Splatoon 2. Octo expansion is good, but it is a bit harder. It was designed to be played after completing the main Splatoon 2 campaign. (although, if you fail the few really hard levels enough times in Octo Expansion, the game will let you take a pass, and continue progressing the game without any negative consequences.) Although, if you already played through Splatoon 3 single player, you're probably ok to play octo.

I hope it’s not, because 3 is my first Splatoon game, unless you count that one round at a friend’s house where I was the definition of a noob who thinks he is a pro. I would not listen to his advice and insisted on playing Roller. But I only rolled. And I stared at the floor. And I didn’t leave the base. And I still managed to die 6 times. I am still embarrassed 6 years later!

Currently my locker's empty, I don't know what to decorate it with.

So I played a few rounds and I will say the servers are faster BUT i got disconnected on my 1st round (not bc of internet) and then banned for 10 minutes like ???

Yes, recently the system seems to have a 0 tolerance for comm errors... Not every time, but especially if it's intentional!

@CaleBoi25 For real like its the 1st game I have played since June 30th like chill lol
