fuck the 8-ball challenges though

Those were the easiest shit, just be patient.

The levels being made around certain types of weapons instead of everything really made a difference. The atmosphere, characters, and music were awesome too.

No, fuck all the rainmaker / tower control challenges.

The intro cutscene to the inner agent 3 fight is the most kino thing in video game history.

If you mean Girl Power Station, the octolings come at you in the same pattern every single time. Either watch a video of it or pay attention when you're trying it yourself. All you have to do is gun them down when they jump in or toss a bomb onto the marker and keep track of which direction they'll be coming from.

That's the biggest crime of all, OE's soundtrack is literally one of the best I've ever heard. Smash remixes are so fucking overrated.

Just fucking kill them.
Also shooting the orb heals it, that might help.

DLC very rarely go on sale, even on something like steam.
You're already on the hook and there's no point in offering you a deal.

One underrated thing about Splatoon 2 is the animation. It has been a while since I last played Nintendo games, I've been playing on PC and PS4 so I'm used to graphics way beyond what the Switch can offer, but the animation in this really stood out to me out of all the recent games I can imagine. Not that other Nintendo first-party games look bad, but there is something special about this one.

it's unironically soul

I saved the video. i'm never doing that shit ever again. Hours of fucking torture

Attached: S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png (256x256, 37K)

Yeah there's definitely a lot of love put into it and it shows. I'm just hoping after the final Splatfest they don't just leave things be with the series. They need to keep the fire burning, even if it's just a small announcement that Splatoon series will continue but the next game isn't ready for development yet.

Arguably the real GOTY of 2018 if GoW was able to get it. Though I still maintain Red Dead 2 was the best in general, its music could not live up to Octo Expansion's.

If you like 80's vaporwave shit the aesthetics are top notch in that department. You get atmosphere like no other game out, even for Splatoon standards. Whoever worked on this were top-notch gamedevs, and I can't thank them enough for it. Just be prepared to rage against the machine, in more ways than one...

You can still have mirror matches if the game can't immediately find you a team to face on the other side. It just means you're more likely to have them on Narwhal.

She's just unsure because she knows marina is better than her and she keeps her down. But marina will reassure her how much she loves her

That's exactly why it'll happen again. The only flipside is that it'll be the winner, not the loser of the final splatfest that will become the villain of 3.
