Topic: Splatoon - OT

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?

You don't buy from the other player. You buy the same type of gear.

Oh, OK. Thanks!

picked up the game from gamestop, friend bought the 3 pack of splatoon amiibos and 2 lucina. He's apparently gonna sell his. I might do the same thing IF it turns out to be rare. I dropped it off all at home. GF and niece are playing the game today as I sit here at work. Never have I had the urge so badly to call in sick. Alas, I need money to you know, live.

played as soon as it hit midnight and first lobby bam a level 19 player i guess some people got it early .

Map Rotation and the staggered map release to me seems to be more about teaching the user base how to play. As the user base learns how to play the game they rotate the maps and release new ones. This will allow for more complicated maps to be released when the user base can use them effectively. Most the time in other shooters you get stuck playing the same two maps because those are what people vote for. I am glad voting for maps isn't a thing in splatoon, even in Mario Kart most people always vote for the same track every time. It gets boring. So while it may appear to be lacking in content, I encourage you to pick up the game now to get the most out of it.
