What would you like to see in a future Splatoon game?

haha nice trips and what if i could be that inkling lol

Base campaign to be fun and challenging like OE instead of a basic slog

You might want to read up on your anatomy, user.

I assume that's why he wants bigger thighs, user

I got the impression that Splatoon 2 rewards people for farming like crazy with the chunks and all that. It made me stop playing, because of how much commitment it takes just to set up one set of gear with optimal stats. I don't care if it only gives a miniscule advantage, it's obviously worth it to many players, and I just don't have that kind of time to spend on one game.

Wait... those models are unedited?

I don't bother with that shit at all and I still manage just fine

Woomies in pain.

Of course one can manage. I just don't like the vibe of all this obsessive minmaxing, grinding shit. I want the best gear, naturally, and it actually makes me less motivated to play that to have the best gear I need to grind for 100 hours.

>has models
>doesn't share them
sounds like a deviantart user allright
kill him

If it bothers you that much you could just reroll gear with sea snails. Bound to get it sometime and everyone has like 100+ sea snails from splatfests.
Then there's also the drinks which help, got three swim speed on my golden toothpick using that.
Also get chunks from salmon run.
Could also just pick one set of gear and spread out the abilities between the three pieces of gear, so you only have to use 10 chunks per ability and get the same benefits.

Skill matters more than the gear, but you can get lots of chunks from salmon run

A way better singleplayer campaign

Splatoon deserves a AAA treatment from Nintendo.

I really want the second and third option

No I'm all for removing tying gear to stats, that shit is retarded. It's dumb in a game with such a focus on fashion that you either have to do some convoluted RNG bullshit with the companion app or just accept gimping yourself if the look you like is tied to shitty stats.

No more gear RNG bullshit and the game is instantly fixed.

I want a full platformer. The traversal and platforming abilities are so fun to use, but the single-player stages are too straightforward and linear to get the most out of it. A set of full 64 / Sunshine-esque levels full of exploration, secrets and multiple goals would be amazing.

An Octobrush with Burst Bombs.

Absolute fucking madness

Haven't really seen this mentioned but I would like a system where instead of having to unlock all the weapons and gear again, when you first play online, you play a series of matches that determine your skill level. Depending on how good you are, you might automatically rank up to a certain level (depending on the ranked mode), automatically level to a certain point, unlock all the weapons up to that level, get a shit ton of cash, and a bunch of gear to spend that cash on.

Making this work would have to involve revamping the health system (i.e.: making health regen only to a certain point or removing regen altogether) and instituting a class system akin to BF or TF2, and I don't know if that will mesh together well with the game's overall pace and core ink mechanic.

Attached: freshest.jpg (1024x864, 189K)

I'd rather they just make all the weapons and gear buyable from the start and just make your level a sort of "income bracket" where you gradually earn more coins per match. That way you can choose what you want to buy whenever provided you have the cash.

As someone who has never played Splatoon, is it worth getting into now? I'm sure the first game is dead and empty, so should I just play the second one? Is there anything offline that can be done, or is it 100% a multiplayer experience?

you can still find games in the first game, but it has a bad hacking problem

Can't speak for S1 in any way this guy doesn't cover, but I can tell you that although S2's vanilla campaign is dull, the octo expansion is actually super good.

I mean, either works.

I'm just saying. Having to unlock EVERYTHING all over again and having to suffer through 2's shitty Turf War just to get to the fun was pretty awful. It's one of the only times where I'd agree with "Game doesn't become fun until [x] hours in," and that shouldn't be the case. I want to sit down and immediately enjoy that shit, not have to grind to get to the fun.

I mean it's like two seconds if you don't touch any enemy ink, how much faster would you want it to be?

Came here to post this.

But turf war IS fun.

So, is 2's multiplayer still good then?

I got to x rank in every mode with random shit gear and a splat roller. Git gud.

In 1 it was. In 2, only the last 30 seconds matter. It's only real use is practicing with weapons and gear you don't normally use and want to try out.

Fuck off, regular brush with burst bombs so it can finish off people that aren't turtlebrained. Octobrush already has the range of a shooter.

I fucked a slampiggy with a body like that

shit was good

Literally nothing has changed about Turf War from the first game except specials are less retardedly overpowered.

I've tried playing a few matches recently. 4/5 times one team immediately gets pushed back into their spawn and there's literally nothing to do for the rest of the game.

I haven't had this problem because I'm the one keeping them in spawn.

I love turf war but to be fair map design has changed.

It's a lot easier to make comebacks with the second design because it's less defensible.
That being said at least there's no 5 seconds left inkstrikes deciding the game.

>x rank
Shit, I'm not sure if I can ever reach that shit. Not him though. I'm in S+0 in every mode except for CB.

It really feels like the balanced is all sorts of fucked.

I don't understand this mindset. It's no fun to just bully helpless squibs.

Nothing in Splat2 is nearly as cancerous as the old E Liter or Gals, so I don't agree.

>map rotations having three maps instead of two
God, this. And make Splatfests more than just TW. Like maybe each Splatfest could have a rotation between TW and one of the ranked modes.

I meant just TW but I do agree. 2 still has some dumb shit though, like dualies being as good as they are, the Clash Blaster, etc.

It's only dualie squelchers giving me any trouble and that's because of the rolls.

Well, it's easily the best splatling in the game, alongside the mini. Capitalize on it.

Not only that but they recover from rolling much quicker than the other dualies.

I'm a Heavy Splatling main so it's not completely alien to me but fuck, I do wish it had a longer range and a longer charge. Feels like I barely have enough time to splat my opponents when it switches to long-range.

I've seen a Japanese player who primarily mains Splatlings use it well. I really like the Custom variant but the normal one has Splashdown, which is cool too.

Used it for the first time the other day and felt like I'd been sleeping on it hard.

Also, I suck ass with the Mini Splatling. Tried the Kensa the other day too and holy shit, I lost every match because of it.

That's why TW is there - to basically serve as practice.

Very doubtful. Nogami may be based but the Splatoon team most likely has been 100% on Animal Crossing lately.

Don't be too harsh on Sakurai. He just wants to make new games, but Nintendo keeps him working on the same shit over and over.

On one hand, Nintendo need two teams so one can work on Splatoon full time and one can work on Animcal Crossing fulltime. The reason we're getting AC so late is due to Splatoon 2 being made, and having to 'choose' between the two is outright tragedy.

But on the other hand, you don't want to dilute your talent. Nintendo needs to hire more but also be careful. I guess it's rough.

I think it's less that Sakurai hates his series and more that Sakurai just wants to work on something other than Smash Bros. Brawl development began in 2005 and since then Nintendo has allowed Sakurai to work on exactly one game that WASN'T Smash (Kid Icarus Uprising). After 14 years of doing almost nothing but the same franchise I'd probably be getting tired of it, too. And while Smash patch notes are still woefully underdetailed, the patch notes for Ultimate are the best the series has had yet, so at least they're slowly improving on that front.

Nogami is based af, though. The industry needs more Nogamis.

I just fear things may get bloated if we just keep introducing new idols, while others may get just a mention at most. I think the characters we have right now are a good foundation and we ought not to just abandon it. Too many more and we'd be milking for tropes as personalities. Maybe they could all serve as part of the next story. Something to Do with TARTAR's dealings with the octarians and how he got his hands on so many octolings.

On top of the three maps thing, we need to know what map we're going to before the match starts, so we know what loadout we should pick. Three maps with no preview means many players will stick to using all-arounder loadouts only.

Alright. Redpill me on the series lore. I know there's something about a real life Turf War, but now apparently the games the Inklings play is just for shits and giggles and no one really dies. Also humans have been extinct for a long fucking time. That's about all I know.

forgot to say

i was going to say "make VC mandatory in salmon run" but then i though i'd get some faggot complaining about not putting VC into ranked too, im actually impressed i got the opposite
salmon run is a cooperative game mode, public VC should be mandatory, you can mute if you want but allow people to make that choice
you have no idea how many time i've lost matches because im unable to tell the other scrubs what to do, most of the time we lost because they just forget to use the specials, they rather die than use them

Trash

The general public is dumb as fucking dirt and doesn't even know what an Octoling is

The inklings are canonically really airheaded. They think all the octolings coming into the city (fleeing the tyranny of their homeland) are just inklings with funky haircuts. No one except Cuttlefish and Octavio are left from the great turf war, so it's not like anyone in Inkopolis cares if they did know.

I'd rather have their best people work on one game at a time, and have them be good over them splitting up their dev teams to release both games, but they're substandard.

Octolings were winning at first because the Inklings are lazy, hedonistic fucks who can't even take actual warfare seriously, but then somebody accidentally unplugged their superweapon and the Inklings rallied to take the win.

Here's a better version. The original Pixiv file is too big to upload here even when losslessly optimized, so I had to resize it a bit. The original is 6398x6398.

So is it safe to say agent 3 is most likely the boy, while agents 4 and 8 are both girls? they seem to show the brown girls more often than the male for those two characters

They're all girls

4 and 8 are both confirmed female. 3 has both boy and girl versions that have been shown but it tends to default toward girl.

You want to bang until the both of you are on the verge of blacking out, but then you'll want to cuddle her forever afterward.

I'm still waiting for the day i get to see calie and marie join off the hook on stage in an epic combination of rap and pop idol music. but one thing I really want splatoon to add is at least give the inkling and ocotoling you're controlling ideal animation of them dancing if there's a splatfest going on

I miss the spontaneous dancers in Splat 1's lobby, now there's just the one at the DDR machine

Some of it is just plain weird or unsettling.

No. Bigger asses.

Reminder that Agent 3 was 14 in S1 and 16 in S2 meaning that Agent 4 is 18 and Agent 8 is the same age as 4

I bought the game a few days ago, god damn why did nobody tell me it was this fun. All of my friends skipped it because they think it's some weird pseudo-shooter for kids but I'm enjoying the fuck out of it. Online is fun, octo expansion was amazing. Game has so much SOUL

Creatures other than Inklings exist in the Splatoon world, you know

My guess is that the devs don't really think it through. it's just a silly kid's game, lore notwithstanding. if there is any explanation, then it's perhaps that the water around matches is specially treated so that no one cheats by going out of bounds.

Splatoon's aesthetic is vastly different from any other Nintendo IP. Its almost evocative of early 2000s era SEGA.

Only if both show up for the news for the Splatfest and perform on stage.

This would be so cool honesty. I think there’s a lot that the devs could implement from animal crossing into next splat game. It would fit the vibe they’re going for really well
