Splatoon 2 |OT| HIGHTIDE ERA IS THE BEST
- Thread starter DaBoss
- Start date
The thing with that slosher is that the shot has a high arc, narrow path, and only really bursts once it falls near the ground. It's not terribly quick to fire either so while it's strong, you'll have to stay extremely particular with its spacing. It too seems like the first real "back-line" slosher we've had, as there's not much room for error in close quarters.
Huh. Neat - was expecting it in late July.
I've still barely scratched the surface on this game's content, especially the singleplayer stuff, so I figure I'll get going on that and if I like it I'll buy the expansion.
I'm really disappointed they're not actually expanding the hub to go down to the subway, at least partially. It's so small and not fun to explore at all.
It was so fun to play around in Inkopolis Plaza due to great level design. It reminded me of the starter area in Jet Set Radio Future.

Or just press + on the Splatoon 2 icon and update from Internet. Save you some time.

Data mining won't be able to tell us about future weapon balance as balance changes occur as soon as they're downloaded. Best that could be data mined from the 3.1 patch would be maybe those two new weapons shown off and what their kits are.
All we can do while we wait for this July patch is pose like Nogami's "2" and pray that our weapons are blessed and our enemies cursed.
Twitter is teasing another Grizco weapon for the upcoming all random rotation. Looks like a slosher?
So I got a Switch and Splatoon 2 (and Super Mario Odyssey) came with it and I must say, this is probably the best MP shooter I've played in years. My only problem is that waiting for server to fill sometimes takes longer than matches.
Any pro tips and recommendations for a beginner?

Yeah, match making takes a while sometimes and it probably doesn't help that new single player DLC just came out.
If you're just starting, be aware that you can cover the ground just by shooting straight forward. I see a lot of beginners running around while looking at the ground. The basic Splattershot or N-Zap is probably a good weapon to learn the basics with.
Depends on your skill and your teammates. In goldie and glowfly rounds it's amazing.
I just finished The Octo Expansion Dlc (the story part of it, still need to finish all the stations). Had alot of fun with it and it had plenty of challenge to it. The final part of it was amazing. Loved it.
How are people finishing this so damn fast? I'm maybe 20 levels in and I'm currently stuck.
I wouldn't say I finished it fast really. Spent several hours everyday for the last few days on it. What station are you stuck on?
A stage where you have to use the Inkjet to move while you dodge rolling balls and snipers. I get as close as four seconds left, then get either splatted, or touch one of the balls.
I think if you shoot the lower ball as it is falling it will cause them to no longer be stacked and then you can just fly over it.
If you fail a stage twice, you are allowed to skip it, but you won't get the mem cake. It's entirely possible that people have deliberately skipped through the whole DLC to get the playable octolings ASAP.

I'm guess I'm going to support the pulp side, if only in the foolish hope that if Pulp team wins then maybe Plup will bring back his Samus
Tip for everyone. I got this game for about 30 euros from Ireland using my South African account. An absolute steal. I've never played a Splatoon game before and used gyro. I wanted to try these gyro controls.
First brief impressions: this game is a lot better looking than I expected. It looks fantastic on my projector. Switch games are hit and miss on it, breath of the Wild looks a bit muddy for instance.
One question though:, Gyro controls are a bit odd to me..I only played the game briefly now but I'm thinking I need to put the sensitivity way up for motion?, I'm at work at the moment so i can't try this. What's everyone's ideal motion control level set to?

There's more vitamin with the pulp than without. And as eating a fruit is always better than drinking juice, juice with pulp is better than just juice.
Pure fruit better than nectar, and so on.

Just bought Splatoon 2 due to the sale. I notice there are motion controls I assume it's the superior method of controlling the game. However I prefer a combination of using the right analogue and motion controls for assisting with aiming. Is this combination not possible I only see option to have motion controls in or off.
If you have motion controls on then you can use both motion and the stick together, turning it off makes it use the stick only
No you cant. You can only control left to right with the stick but not up and down
All mystery weapons Grizzco shifts are the best. So much fun.
I hope they add more Octo hairstyles soon. I usually go with a male Inkling but opted for a female Octoling because their male styles just aren't my thing.
