I played Splatoon 2 earlier and I’m now being forced to watch the same intro video again
- Thread starter Soundtrack2chaos
- Start date
Easily a dealbreaker for me, but I learned that if I played in Airplane mode then I wouldn't get the intro and then turned it off midgame, it would work as a workaround.
I mean... I still didn't play it because I don't like Splatoon's gameplay, but it was nice to know that there was a workaround for it.

I swear every time i launch the game Salmon Run is never available. It's basically a non existent mode to me. Baffling decision.
Thats whst sleep mode is for, thats the best thing about the switch
You've never played Operations mode in Battlefield 1 have you? Splatoon 2's is only like 30 second anyway, unless you let all the text slowly type out.
No matter how many times people say this, it wont suddenly become relevant to the discussion.
That ain't nothing.
The worst is when you load up the game the watch the intro right before the stages rotate, making you watch the intro again. That's real shit.

If you boot the game 6 times a week, which I imagine is pretty low for a core gamer someone playing it all the time, you waste over two and a half fucking hours a year watching that shit.
Some of us actually value our time, so please shut up.
The intro would show every time the stages rotated IN Splatoon 1. It doesn't do that anymore.
I love Splatoon 2 and keep playing it despite of this, but goddamn, it's such a stupid feature. It's particularly dumb that they don't let you skip them when you realize that they made Sheldon's weapon explanations skippable because they know people find them annoying.
Worst part is that I do find them charming and funny when I'm in the mood to read through them, but the forced repetition makes me hate them a little more each time.

Nonsense.
This isn't really detracting much from your precious time, and your response toward that poster was unwarranted.
If you only want to play single player, just use the airplane mode, then the game skips the intro. While the game is loading, you can hold the home button for a second and turn Wi-Fi off. If you use an ethernet cable, you have to load the game undocked. It takes like two seconds to turn the internet off or on, and if you do it this way, the game doesn't even pause while you are turning it off.
Wait really? It literally happened to me yesterday. Maybe because the splatfest started?
I didn't realise this works. The people who keep posting "It's masking a load" should pay attention to this post.
I will wear the A button out from hammering it to get past these screens. Even if they would autoprogress, it would be better because I could just get up and come back when it's done. Instead, I have to sit there and press A just to advance the screens. It's annoying.
You gonna pay me for that time lost? No? Then don't bring it up. Again: some us actually value our time.
And yes the response was warranted. Dude isn't the magic sunflower he thinks he is posting the same condescending dogcrap scores of others have.
You guys saying it ruined your experience realize that MIGHT be the most childish complaint ever? In that minute you could:
Respond to this post, calling me an idiot.
Load up resetera to complain about this
Donate to a charity
Make something to eat
Do jumping jacks
Watch a video on the proper form to do jumping jacks
Clean your damn room

It is tedious and there are a large number of people online on various outlets who hate it and complain about it, yet I am not at all surprised to see a certain subsection of ERA insisting that it is nothing at all and you are odd for it bothering you.
That being said, the game is too good to let that put you off, it is very much a fantastic game worth diving into and spending many many many hours in.
Just make your voice heard and hope that they change it in future versions.

Yeah and instead I'm being forced to waste that time watching a dumb video everyone skips through anyways.
So which is it? Could I be doing something productive and/or actually enjoyable instead or is it nothing?
Every time I launch the game Salmon Run is available. Hm.
To be fair, I think you do have to hit the button to progress the dialogue so it's not like other games where you can wander off and do something else, but it is 30 seconds you can use taking a swig of a drink and shitposting on Twitter on your phone.
Splatoon is bad for this but to be honest wasted time is a feature of most online multiplayer games and part of why I'm trying to cut down in general - the queueing, and in other games the character select screens, that all adds up too. For every 30 seconds I lose in Splatoon I probably lose 3+ minutes queueing for a game in Overwatch and then being placed into a 'waiting for players' game. That's time I could be wasting on Era, taken from me.
I know this may be a shock to you but there are other people in the world that aren't you, some of them may live in a different time zone and work different hours and even different days than you.
I don't follow that guy's post history, so don't a real opinion. Just thought your response was a bit extreme.
I think if Splatoon 2 is generally enjoyable, then a minor inconvenience doesn't solely justify dropping the game. I played Animal Crossing: New Leaf for hundreds of hours, and I know perhaps a small handful of them were padded by things one would label as "time-wasting".
It's weird for this to be a thread, but I agree that removing these intros would be just fine.
Welp, sell it back?
It's part of the game, for better and worse. 30 seconds really isn't that big a deal, and absolutely not a deal breaker for a game that's really amazing; at least for me anyway.
Sounds like it is for you, so I'd just sell it back if I were in your shoes.

That minute is also a third of a Splatoon 2 online match, wasted instead skipping through a stupid intro with no useful information in it that isn't even hiding a load.
It's literally just there to waste time or for the crazies who enjoy reading the same 4 quips over and over.
Of course, but if the off the hook thing serves as a fun load screen, would you rather have a black screen with a bar that takes 30 seconds? Or some witty dialogue you can read?
It's not a loading screen. The game skips it entirely if you're not connected to the internet. It's just wasting your time for no reason.
You are still complaining about a single minute of your life. It's so trivial. Your life is not worse because of it. Again, there are far better things to do in that minute.
That I can't do because i'm button mashing to get through that dialog, I'm genuinely confused by your argument here?
It does happen sometimes, I don't think it's supposed to though. Once you start the game you normally see it once but sometimes I see it again I think if the stages rotate while the video is playing the first time but I'm not sure.
I'm sure it is, but I'd rather watch a loading screen over those vids. I'm more disturbed over the lack of the option to skip, tbh. We all get to be irrational at times. Personally, I've seen lots of other complaints on the matter as well. Feel how you like though.
The intro is not hiding loading screen, if you're offline the hub is entered immediately from the title screen. Then if you go online you have to watch the intro when you're in the plaza. I also had times where the next rotation comes in whilst watching the intro and I have to watch it twice. It was cute at first but I would like to skip the damn thing.
At least it's better when they change levels. In the first game every two hours you'd have to watch it. Now it's only when you first start up the game.
It doesn't bother me too much, but i get why it annoys other people. They need to add in a Sheldon-style skip to everything.

My argument is that this complaint is childish. Tell someone in a third world country that you arent having a good time because you have to push a button for a minute. See how much that cheers them up. See?
I was under the impression that there are different servers for the game based on your location, and Salmon Run's availability is adjusted for each one.
Sure, you can make that argument about literally anything though. Go troll somewhere else.
Yes and I'm sure Nazi's also liked to not waste time either! I guess everyone in this thread is now a Nazi who also turns their noses up at developing nations.
People don't like some stupid intro thing and your go to defense is there are people suffering in the third world so you can't complain?
Im saying it's such a ridiculous complaint that you should all step back and think about what your saying. And, really, who is talking about nazis?
