    Not the Charizard amiibo but the D-Arts one is cool and other figures can ride it!

    Also my mind instantly went to Daenerys and Drogon.

    I can't decide if my favorite thing to do in splatoon is swim right behind friendly rollers to sneak attack people or follow behind oblivious enemy rollers and paint over everything they just did

    I love Saltspray Rig, personally, just get to a high spot and rain your colors down.

    I suppose if I was playing against people good enough to look up my opinion might change.

    some thoughts on splatoon now that I have spent a whole night playing it:

    1. this game is rad
    2. no really, it's super rad and you should play it if you can
    3. the soundtrack is bangin'
    4. the map rotation system is interesting but it kind of sucks if you don't like one of the two maps on offer
    5. the secondary weapons add depth in a really fun way
    6. I'm not sure how I feel about the gear system. Getting splatted in what seems like two hits by someone who has four abilities on all their gear feels really bad
    7. either the netcode is really good or the game is phenomenal at hiding latency
    8. the single player content is super fun and engaging
    9. my squidboi looks baller
    10.

    I will have my 3 pack of Splatoon Amiibos tomorrow but sadly the game sold out around here

  • KilroyKilroy timaeusTestified Registered User regular
    oh one thing I forgot to mention

    the game is definitely balanced for 4 on 4. If one of your teammates isn't actually playing then you are going to lose

    One thing to keep in mind with gear abilities is that the primary ability is the strongest and the unlockable ones are weaker. By how much, I don't know, but there you go.

    Am I correct in my understanding that you can always match into the same game, but not always the same team?

    The alternative is 4 people queuing up together and stomping pubs all day.

    You can opt to join a friend's game - that will put you into their lobby if a space opens up, which in practice seems to be 95% odds

    Once in the lobby the teams are shuffled randomly each match

    Ranked is so damn annoying. It's frustrating as hell to have 3 seconds left then get penalized like 60 seconds and lose all your momentum. And not getting any exp is bull. At least give the losers like 100X the number of seconds they counted down

    My friends and I did an in-person Let's Play of sorts with Rage a few weekends back

    the stuff they tried to do to get every bit of mileage from the 360 looked cool if you could get over the texture pop-in, but it hasn't aged well

    or maybe even aged at all

    What adds to the clock on ranked anyway, is it kills?

    I think it's time disparity but who knows.

    The only solace is I don't think you can lose a rank so once I'm at C it won't be as bad.

    Oh wow, you can't actually lose a rank?

    That's...very nice

    Cause when you go up in rank the XP rewards get even bigger when you win

    If a team loses control of both zones they get a time penalty - based on how far behind the trailing team is, more behind = more time

    I fully expect you can lose rank, though they do start you at like +30 when you rank up
    Edit: you can lose rank confirmed

    It's not even if you lose control, your enemy has to gain control and then keep it for like 5-10 seconds until you get a time penalty.

    Splatoon is a better shooter than Fallout is

    But Fallout is a better game

    While I say this, I also have to say that it is an utterly.meaningless comparison because none of them are remotely close to the same gameplay

    Not remotely
