Pretty sure that means you're going to fight Octolings much more often than you did in the first game.

They were the most fun to fight, if a short encounter, so I hope so.
This is also acceptable.
Daniel Wright
Don't mind if I do!
Evan Adams
thanks doc
well the music from the singleplayer is girly pop remixes of 8 legged advance and cephaloparade with some city of color thrown in there. and at least from the stages weve seen theres stars lights and decorations everywhere. they want us to see a concert atmosphere, that the octarian domes have been "freshened up" if you will.
Dominic Rivera
Probably the influence of Octolings and Callie.
I love the beginning of the song at 1:12 in the single player trailer. It sounds like an Octoling war march.

So I have a question that I'd like resolved before I look into getting the game, because it does look very fun, but my question is, are they kids, or are they squids? I mean no matter where I look on Reddit, I can't tell if people are giving me an honest answer/analysis, or if they're just fucking with me. From what I understand the idea is that they are semi-human, and based off of these mythological sea beings from Early East Asian mythology. But considering the fact that their wearing sketchers, and have different genders it doesn't match those historical writings, and I've told my professor at uni, and said it would take time for him to give me a further analysis of the biology of these creatures, but considering the fact he called them "creatures" in the email, it's obvious they don't spear entirely human on first glance, even to the laymens eyes. My uncle is a marine biologist, and had even wrote a thesis on the Teuthida order of cephalopods, and the physical ability to change form as a defense mechanism along side the use of ink as a respond to stress, as a complex fight or flight response, and I've developed a hypothetical theorem that they've been capable of shifting the nuclei of thier DNA sequence in order to hastily navigate thier environment via a biological electromagnetic graviton scaler device inside the cerebral cortex frontal lobe keeping motion of the electron network created by biopigment induced influx of mater that they navigate through when engaged in a conplex mating ritual that we the player instead see a combat. In 1968 it was found that Teuthida are capable of reproducing via liquid RNA poly indusive cloud bursting of biological mater, but considering these Beings appear mammalian I hypothize that it is an advanced form of hypo synthesis induction similar to that of various conplex multicellular microscopic life.

In case you squids missed it, Nintendo officially gave the price for the service of shoving their dick up your ass.

For the record, I will see the Online Service as a premium feature worse, if it is mandatory for all online play, and not on an opt in for using the matchmaking server.
Caleb Sanders
If it was $60 like Xbox or playstation, I'd complain. However, for $20 I can take the multiplayer without voice chat. I give zero shits about any community experience whatsoever. I rather just fucking play.
And aside from my roommates, I don't really play with anyone I actually know.
Brandon Roberts

Gabriel Brown
Yeah paid online is shit, but what are people supposed to do about it? xbox and playstation users have already set the trend of paying two monthly fees to play games online. Nintendo is just copying their competitors jewery, albeit on a lesser scale.

Only choice of platform for that where modern games are concerned is PC, user.
Most any VOIP service you can find that isn't Teamspeak or Mumble datamines nowadays, pray for the lost souls still using Skype. I'm more concerned about the obnoxious faggots spamming their Discord groups errywhere than I am that Discord might be plucking my shitposts for potential Google ads.
Isaac Butler
To my knowledge there's only PC games left, until valve decides to get their cut of the pie. I'm not saying it's okay when nintendo does it, it's not okay at all, I'm saying I'd rather have my anal virginity taken with a regular dildo rather than a bad dragon dildo. If only people cared as much about paid online as they do about paid mods but there's no uproar even though there really should be

I feel horrible accepting this but it's a lot less jewish then I expected. 20$ a year is nothing compared to sony and microshill's online so if I do get a switch I'll pay up
Tyler Wilson
is there actually a switch vr headset or is this just taping the switch to your face
Kevin Clark
The only reason to watch this is the new gameplay snippets of Tower Control, Rainmaker, Splat Zones, and some kind of Spectator mode. Minor change for Splat Zones: The UI now shows when control of a zone is being shifted. Major change for Tower Control: Checkpoints - When the tower reaches one, you need to keep uninterrupted control of it for a few seconds before it can move on. Major change for Rainmaker: It now works like a charge-up rocket launcher, having a wider blast radius upon impact the longer you charge.
Adrian Roberts
About god damn time I was tired of the rail run away with most games
The rainmaker change is Questionable, cause I wont get the big swirly hitbox no more it'll be like a blaster shots. It also seems lighter to carry as well
Austin Thompson
what i want to know is, does the ice cream truck music return?
Xavier Myers
Why are you calling me a retard? I wasn't paraphrasing what you said, I was reinforcing your point with what normalfags would say/think
Matthew Davis
can you blame him for taking it the way he did? thats the thing with english and probably other language, pretty much everything can be taken at least 2 different ways. and even worse were treading into > territory, which has several meanings of its own.
Isaiah Myers
It's really not that difficult unless you're illiterate.
Carter Ortiz
Huh, usually when people use greentext like that they are indeed paraphrasing. Ah well, water under the bridge.
Juan Jenkins
You don't. Voice chat works through the app. The headset Hori, a third party company, designed is meant simply to allow for both the game audio and the chat audio to come through one single audio device via analog cables running through a board. You don't need the headset itself to use voice chat since all the chat audio just comes straight through the phone. If you already have a Bluetooth headset, you should be able to use that, assuming that the app is going to support linking up a standard bluetooth headset, which based on previous statements by Nintendo on this matter, seems to have been the intention.
Also, your whole ">Switch gaming:" list is pretty disingenuous. Why is it that with the list for PC gaming, all you put is the internet fee? Why not the electric bill, the housing payment, the cost for the PC build itself, the cost for a decent monitor, the cost for the games themselves and their DLC as well, etc. and pretty much everything else that allows you to continue your PC gaming habit. You seemed willing to include everything but the water bill in the Switch list? Because that doesn't satisfy your argument? And why do you act as if someone who is going to be paying for playing the Switch online is somehow starting off with absolutely nothing, not even a phone? The whole principle here is that consumers generally already have all the peripherals needed that they needn't go out and buy more. It's the same principle behind every console allowing you to use them with any standard television that supports their respective cable hookups rather than having to go out and buy a new Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo licensed television to use each of their respective hardware. There's a reason you didn't include the cost for a TV in your Switch list is because you at least have enough intelligence to know it's a given that the average person who would buy a Switch already owns a fucking TV that to include the cost of one in your list is absurd. You might have an argument if the average consumer didn't already own a smart phone for many numbers of reasons besides playing a Switch online and most likely long before they even bought a Switch OR if Nintendo demanded you buy some new proprietary phone of theirs which is the only one compatible with their new app a la the Vita & its memory cards. The only people your argument would be relevant to are those who are literally starting from scratch with a limited amount of funds.
Charles Morgan
Honestly, you're probably being a little too generous to Sony & Microsoft. The The X-Box Gold account with the Game Pass costs about 180 shekels a year. Sony's full package deal can cost you about 150. Admittedly, Sony & Microsoft offer a lot more content and goodies for what you pay them, but the switch service is definitely the bargain service with a budget price.
Easton Williams
I'm not sure if this will really change much of anything. You usually could tell when the Splat Zone was likely going to be yours within the next couple splats after a certain amount of time playing zones on each map and know just how much ink where was enough to shift the control. This might make it easier for teammates falling behind the pace of the tower to hurry to your position, but I can see it also leading to a lot of camp spamming where players just hold the Tower at a single check point rather than trying to take it all the way. If that's the case, why not just turn it into a multi-dimensional form of splatzone? I think this is a positive change for the rainmaker if it means that the rainmaker will be able to fire at a faster rate that allows the person with the rainmaker to better defend themselves in those events where they can't rely on their teammates

Should I give up on USA getting the pink and green switch? I know Europe isn't getting it, but they're getting the joycons separately later. Supposedly NoA doesn't believe in bundles anymore because they want people to be able to "buy the games they want."
I've been content to wait until Splatoon's release before buying a Switch, but every time I see one in a store it's gone by the next day and then they don't get more stock for over a week. I don't want to be stuck with no switch at all when Splatoon comes out and the demand for them goes even higher.

So far into Earth's future that humanity has gone long extinct and sea creatures have evolved to replace us. Also there was a war at some point between the squids and octos with the squids emerging victorious and shoving the octos deep underground out of sight and slowly dying off.

The Submarine Mechs are Player seeking seekers
Basically iif you dont know where your oppoent is you can place one down and they can find them for you. Think of it as a Hound Dog Or Blood Hound for hunting
Nicholas Young
They tried in the first game by taking the zapfish which power the Squids capital city but it wasn't so much an invasion as it was a means to try and save themselves. Since apparently the water is still rising if I recall correctly, and they are doing everything they can to survive.
Daniel Foster

Nicholas Ross
do they have sonar barks or laugh at you when you miss?
i hope the switch has better internets. the wiiu was definitely improved from the wii, but still kind of spotty in the usa. im sure the p2p nature and wide landmass are also factors. well, that was the one thing preventing me from fully enjoying splatoon.

without miiverse posts how will the game feel alive? i was always excited to view even the crappiest posts and art, especially during splatfests. its not relevant to gameplay but it helped to give the game a very unique flair. it made me feel like "wow, this city really is populated by squids"

Jayden Watson
That's not how it works.
Dylan Scott
I won't know how I feel about that unless I experience it
Landon Rodriguez
but it seems to be all its good for
Tyler Jones
No, I mean the situation you describe doesn't make any sense. or
Ian Davis
i guess i wasnt very clear. by aerospray tactic i mean just focusing on painting 100% unless a kill jumps in to your lap, spamming ink strikes and forcing the enemy to either come deal with you or lose to sheer turf coverage. i remember it being a trend early on in the first game. it might still be, at least in turf wars, but theres a wider variety of weapons to do something like that with now.
Logan Hill
Maybe it could work well for a Rainmaker carrier who relies on teammates to do the killing or doing fast respawn suicide tower control runs after sneaking their way back onto it.
Nathan Allen

Zachary Evans
Where does this come from?
Asher Young
No more Bubbles, Krakens, or any new invincibility specials. So no more panic krakens, and no more "spam invincibility specials while riding the tower to win." No more Damage Up or Defense Up. This kills the charger. No more Stealth Jump, and Quick Respawn is basically useless now (only applies if you die without getting any kills IIRC, so you can't just allahu ackbar constantly). In other words, other abilities are useful again. The maps are wider open, with less choke points and narrow corridors. Spyke The Kyke has been replaced by Murch, the living gear editor. The new system lets you attach whatever abilities you want onto gear, for a price. Since the Switch is shaping up to be significantly more popular than the Wii U was, we can also expect that there will be significantly more players of Splatoon 2 than the original. This should allow for shorter matchmaking times, more players in your region, a more competitive western scene, and so on.
There are different hairstyles and pants now. There's a spectator mode for ESPORTS. Local wifi multiplayer and true wired LAN as well. 1080p, 60FPS confirmed. There's a horde mode called Salmon Run. Looks cool, and you can unlock exclusive gear through it. It sucks because the online version is event only and is most likely replacing Splatfest. Speaking of Splatfest, Miiverse is dying so no more graffiti or Splatfest art either. The most fun and OC/shitposting-producing elements of Splatoon have been replaced with CoD zombies. Callie either got brainwashed or went evil. Inkquiring squids want to know.
So basically, a shitload of balance changes that for the most part should make the core multiplayer more fun and interesting, as well as some gimmicks and quality of life improvements, but in return you have to give up Miiverse and pay 20 shekels a year for online, $300 or more for a Switch, $60 for Splatoon 2, and $65 for a Switch Pro Controller that I've heard has an inferior gyro to the Wii U gamepad.
People that are seriously into the multiplayer have no choice but to pony up if they want to follow the rest of the community, but they will appreciate the balance changes. More casual players that really love Splatoon's setting and characters might pick it up just to see what happens to the sisters and feel like a squid again. And for people that were interested in Splatoon before but didn't want to buy a Wii U, it's a no brainer. But maybe those who don't feel like any of the above should sleep on it for a while, because for the most part it's looking like a more polished and balanced version of the same game.
Angel Butler
Why must Nintendo do shit like this?
Owen Clark
I'm more mad that the Miiverse is no longer a thing. I was really hoping they would have a replacement to show off for E3, at least so Spla2n could keep all the grafitti that you'd find. Although I just read an article saying that they are going to have a similar feature, so with any bit of luck the shitposting can continue unabated.
Connor Gutierrez
Nintendo wanted to push local multiplayer as a marketing strategy for the Switch. They knew nobody would be able to get 8 players together for casual play, so they created a co-op horde mode.
Nintendo knew Splatfest was a good marketing strategy for Splatoon. It generated lots of OC and buzz on social media, and got people to come back every so often and see the new content.
But the Switch's capacitive touch screen isn't suited for drawing like the Wii U gamepad, and Nintendo is trying to distance itself from Miiverse. And on top of that, Splatfest doesn't really make sense given the story of Splatoon 2. Even if they reunite in the end of the story mode, the sisters have clearly gone their separate ways and moved beyond being TV show co-hosts.
But knew they needed something similar for Splatoon 2. Something to keep casuals coming back. So some genius thought, we've got one team working on Salmon Run for local multiplayer, why don't we just make that available online as an event? OK, easy, we can scratch "Splatfest Replacement" off the list and get this fucker out the door.
you will never see a real Splatfest again
Maybe they will surprise us, but I really doubt it. Miiverse is a product of the old Nintendo, essentially a friendly (NIGGERS AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM.jpg aside) social network for kids. The new Nintendo is all about marketing to young adult normalfags, who would rather be posting to their existing big boy social media accounts. If they ever release a capacitive stylus accessory for the Switch alongside new Mario Maker and Art Academy titles, we might see some kind of return of these features, but until then I wouldn't hold my breath.
Carter Wood
What pains me more is being out of town during the final splatfest and unable to prevent Marie from winning.
Xavier Roberts
I missed it too.
Elijah Hughes
Other important things I forgot: Rotation time is 2 hours instead of 4, so you should get to play a wider variety of modes and maps, and not have to choose between quitting or playing a shit map for 4 hours. There are separate ranks for each ranked game mode, which encourages people to git gud at all the modes and not just coast by on their favorite.

As I mentioned with the players posting messages and artwork in the plaza, Splatfest is a way that we feel that by creating that festival atmosphere, we’re able to create a sense of unity or an indirect way of communicating that they are participating and sharing the same type of event. You can rest assured that while we’ll give you more detailed information later on what that may look like, we will be decorating the Inkopolis Square in a party and festive way.

WHy do I get the feeling twitter is going to be the new miiverse if they're gunna do the sharing feature that was in mario kart 8 Deluxe. but only way to know is under a hashtag

Every day it sucks a little more that I can't find a switch for cheap.

It would be weird for there to be a social media for only splatoon. If a community actually formed from that would surprise me.

Just noticed you can see the shadows of becons through somewalls
Christian Rogers
Does the beakon clip through it at all? Maybe the lighting engine isn't checking to not draw a shadow if it is passing through the solid.

I hadn't seen that article, thanks. These comments and the confirmation of Splatfests returning are good signs. I wonder how exactly they will implement them without Miiverse or a resistive touch screen. At best, I think they might eventually offer a capacitive stylus accessory to (in addition to uses in other games and programs) help players draw graffiti, and allow players to simultaneously upload this graffiti to a Splatoon-specific service as well as other social media. At worst, they'll have people tweet shit at @SplatoonGraffiti or something from their phones and PCs and have moderators hand-curate the most acceptable pictures.
It would be funny if the Splatoon 2-only social media was successful enough that it encouraged Nintendo to essentially recreate Miiverse.

That wall above it doesn't cast a shadow on the box but the miiverse sign does. So, maybe that shadow on the ground is baked in. The box isn't in all game modes so I guess the lighting bug was never found.

You have to keep in mind we're awash in an industry of normalfags with no standards
For me, Nintendo is easily the least shitty of the big 3 and their consoles doing well will produce more of the type of console experiences I enjoy. Normalfags are already paying for Sony and Microsoft's online with smiles on their faces. 99% of people who own a Switch will do the same. If I take a stand it won't change anything, and since I can't break my autistic vidya habit I don't really have a choice.
I've basically surrendered to it at this point
Mason Wright
I bet this was taken after the unconditional surrender of Team Callie to Empress Marie colorized
Aiden Cox
All that effort he would have to put into to dress up like that just to get some takeaway. But why? What does he have to prove?
He looks upset, almost like he is breaking under the scrutiny from the watchful eyes of the public, but the does the faggot not realize he would not be isolated and discriminated from society if he did not do this to himself.

Greatest day since we nuked the Japs
