play splatoon 2 + dlc

>>738739969
Ink your Splat Zone to some Squiddos.

>>738739969
That's weird to think about. Someone missing the boat on splatoon.
You can't just play splatoon 1 and 2's multiplayer again, the party's at splatoon 3 right now.

You COULD play the single player modes for splatoon 1, 2 and 3. Along with the DLC for 2 and 3, at the very least.

I would very much so like to be inside a splatoon.

>>738739969
Travel back to 2015 and play Splatoon on the Wii U
Do NOT play 3 unless you enjoy not having fun

>>738739969
You shouldn’t because it will be nothing but a massive disappointment once you realize that a technically great game is held hostage on low end hardware and hosted on low cost servers. It’s a tragedy really.

>>738740073
Isn't better to start with 3?

>>738739969
At this point just wait for Splatoon Raiders and then the inevitable Splatoon 4
1 and 2 are dead and gone, 3 sucks

>>738740441
The fuck?

>>738740673
2 has a better single player experience.
>fomo
splatoon 3 isn't going away for a while. you'll live.

>>738739969
Wait for 4 if you want a multiplayer focused PvP game. Raiders will probably be a good starting point to get used to the gameplay, world, and so on in the meantime.

>>738739969
>How do i get into Splatoon?
Buy game.
Play game.
Play game online.

I don't understand how someone might have difficulty "getting into" a casual Nintendo party game.

>>738739969
what's even the point of this game?

Are you more into singleplayer or multiplayer?
If multiplayer, start with 3, it had a good singleplayer campaign too. If singleplayer, start with Raiders, which will have co-op if you have friends. If you wanna experience it all, buy 2 specifically for its dlc
>>738742382
To have fun

You can’t. Tendie sweaties make the game miserable for anyone who hasn’t devoted hundreds of hours into the game already.

>>738740756
Splatoon 1 autists are a thing

i own all splatoon games + dlc, but never touched the multiplayer. yes, we exist.

>>738740790
2 dlc is a better singleplayer experience. 2 base singleplayer is far worse than 3’s

>>738743063
meaning 2+dlc is a better singleplayer experience than 3 and SHOULD be played before 3.

>>738739969
Raiders will be ironically the best way to get into splatoo as it has no PvP so you don't get "tryhards" bullshit.

>>738743181
No, 3+dlc is better than 2+dlc. But 2 dlc is the best. So yes, play that first, but a lot of people on here are poor, so the added context is worthwhile

>>738742914
>>738743305
I don’t get this complaint. The game has ranked matchmaking (unless you play turf war, maybe? But turf war is ass once the novelty wears off)

>>738742938
And theyre correct

>>738744371
lol, no they aren’t, they’re just your typical nostalgia fag. Splatoon 1 had some nice aspects, but it was also a mess that was losing its new IP buff by the end

Bad advice

>>738743334
>No, 3+dlc is better than 2+dlc. But 2 dlc is the best.
This.
If you have the opportunity and means you should play all of it. But 2's base game story is not stellar. The DLC does a lot of heavy lifting for 2.
Meanwhile 3's base game and DLC are both great even if 2's DLC is better than both.

>>738742382
i enjoyed salmon runs. its basically cod zombies but you shoot fish instead. dont think i've ever played pvp and i dont think most of the playerbase does either.

>>738739969
Play it. It's a multiplayer focused game and Splatoon 3 is currently the most active one.

The only people who hate 3 are the people who played way too much.
3 is great. play 3.

>>738752174
I’ve played it way too much and still love it. I think a lot of hate is from rose tinted glasses. And it does lack its own big new thing. 1 was brand new, 2 had Salmon Run, 3 is more iterative. And that’s not a problem, it’s the best, but I can see a certain type being dissatisfied

I'm so tired of the "choose your style" instead of just "choose your gender." I get it, if you're a big corporation, you have to bend the knee to all this faggot shit because all the kids identify as some branch of brain damaged gender identity in place of a personality they barely had in the first place, but it's so fucking tiresome to see it in literally every single game. No clear and obvious male or female appearance, just a person shaped thing that you have to infer gender on.

>>738752381
Can’t imagine giving a fuck. It allows me to create long haired guys and short haired girls. It’s a benefit, if you’re not mentally cucked by culture wars

How many copies do you think this thing will sell in its first weekend in Japan? Nips go nutty for these games

>>738752381
I hate it too. But people kind of overlook how Splatoon isn't just asking you to choose the gender of the character, but also what species it is. As one singular choice.
Either you'd need to split it up into one Male/Woman choice and one separate Squid/Octo choice. Two choices.
Or you'd just have one screen with all options. But then you would need to adjust the language because all of a sudden you're choosing multiple things at once.

>>738752517
That's fine in theory, but Legends ZA is the best most recent example of this shit where you think "oh hey more customization options, that's cool, I'm sure they'll have a nice amount of things that look good on both male and female styles or both" but it's just everything looks good on girls and some shit looks okay on guys but would look better on girls. This resulted in everyone just picking the male and dressing them up like a girl and going "hehe femboy" which appears to just be what any video game with customization that Nintendo makes is going for. You can either make a cute girl, or cute boy (feminine).

>>738753992
I don’t really care what other people did with another game. ZA having shit variety in clothing is its own problem. Splatoon does not have that problem

>>738739969
i have over 1k hours in splat 3

>>738744302
PvP always devolves into "tryhards" galore, unless you are into that you will always end up frutrated and mad. Hell, it's the reason why Marvel Rivals is working in expand its PvE mode, they realized people enjoy the game more when they don't have to deal with "tryhards" and "meta", this is also why Highdivers 2 was so sucessful and there was massive backslash against the nerfs because "WHY THE FUCK YOU NEED TO NERF WEAPONS IN A PVE GAME?!"

Is Splatoon the evolution of Team Fortress 2?

I had so much more fun in splatoon 2 than 3.
Everything vomits ink.
They baby the charger and splating classes in map design, nerfing ninja squid by multiple means, and generally overtuning them.
Everything is a hallway with sheer dropdowns so perched up classes can see your vector of approach from MILES away.

It's so bad every special in the game has to be designed to kick classes off their unassailable perches. I KNOW S3's design lead just has to be a charger main that HATES being snuck up on. The fucking faggot ruined this for me

>>738754653
>I had so much more fun in splatoon 2 than 3.
I didn't. I super love the Octo Expansion, but beyond that Splat2 has easily been the lowpoint of Splatoon for me and by more than just a little. It's the worst of both worlds for me between Splat1 and Splat3.

>>738754653
Someone misses their ink armor crutch
>It's so bad every special in the game has to be designed to kick classes off their unassailable perches
Not true and directly conflicts with your “he’s a charger main” schtick. He’s clearly a shooter main anyway.

>>738754892
I hated how it outed my sneaking without my permission, actually

Shooters being strong and scrappy is just inherent to the concept moron.

>>738754653
This. and the worst part is they kept Missiles. Ever notice how they completely gutted the Reef's concept of multilevel stages? It's because missile are retarded on it

Design the maps so that they can be reliably snuck up on and chargers are no issue at all.

Is a monstrous injustice that they get to see ninja squids swimming AND spot their drop down. And that fucking spawn launcher glow? Give me a fucking break.

Nope. Splatoon is, unironically, a direct bastard descendant of grandpa Doom, skipping Quake entirely in its evolutionary path. Every other modern shooter has unmistakable Quake genes in it, but not really Splat.

>>738757250
Yeah I hope s4 makes it so you can opt out of the launcher and spawn on the ground.

>>738743063
>>738750591
I think 2's base game story is more important to go through if you are skipping Splatoon 1's singleplayer.
The big issue of 2 isn't that it's bad, it's just the same shit as 1.

Go back in time and play Splatoon day 1.
Anyone who didn't has an objective, not a subjective "old good new bad" thing, but an objective worse experience of where the game is now.

>>738739969
buy Raiders when it comes out and enjoy the single-player experience

>>738757349
More important than 3’s storyline? Eh maybe. It gives you one game of seeing Octo conflict, but 3 gives you the original crew, complete with Agent 3, who is important, unlike the literal who Agent 4. And it gives context into every aspect of the story, a bit of octo feud, salmon run and setting up Deep Cut, the latter two being the most important for Raiders

>>738757047

>>738757528
>day 1
>missing out on the test fire
you’re not getting the peak splatoon experience

>>738739969
How do I get into inklings

>>738757630
Oh I don't think it's necessarily more important that 3's story as a whole, or even better. But if you think you are going to go through 2 anyway you may as well start there and actually play it.
Also if you don't play the main story of 1 or 2, the bait and switch of 3 is much less enjoyable.

>>738757715
What do you think "Day 1" means, if there was nothing before release then hopping in close to release would be fine.

the storyline in splatoon is like plot in porn
you fucking skip it
you're here for gameplay

>>738757809
The storyline was peak in octo expansion though.

>>738757787
I was mostly joking around as a way to reminisce about the test fire, but day 1 often also means launch day

>>738739969
get HRT at your local pharmacist just like most splatoon players who are fans of the franchise

Am I the only one that thinks charge hold is just entirely unnecessary as a concept for the charger class? Because without it they have in place a just fine balanced weakness. The worst thing is that they up and gave it to a SPLATLING.
Thats improper as a fucking concept. Fuck Naut. Things need to get marked for death of something when they use it

>>738757809
It’s a fun vehicle for wacky shenanigans and some kino moments. Nothing to take seriously, but it can have a small emotional hit when a particularly good credits song plays

>>738757769
All very true anon, good point. The answer to OP really depends on how deep he wants to go

>>738757891
Well, I meant literal day 1 but I suppose you're right.
I barely slept so that I could play as much of the test fire as I could and got pissed my friend was featured for winning on a dev's team when I was destroying online thanks to caffeine.
After finishing 3 I wish I got that same level of dedication at some point.

No one even plays this franchise here. Every thread I see about this game is just some avatarfag dumping his twitter images folder.

I really wish you could play octo expansion without having to purchase 2 to play it

charge hold is a fun and largely impractical option for skill expression, most of the time you can just take the shot normally, and most of the rest of the time you're putting yourself into a lot of peril if you're not hitting that shot
you also used to pay for it by losing scoped chargers' little bit of extra range and paint, but now they've been normalized, which was a mistake desu
let chargers have fun too
naut is, quite literally, marked for death when charge holding, it fucking glows
and for how good charge hold is for a splatling, charge hold unsquid still takes extra time, and it can't recover ink or use subs while holding charge either, so it's still majorly disadvantaged compared to baisic shooters

>>738739969
>be 10

>>738753651
I'd guess at least a million. Might be a bit high but I think there's hope behind it.

>>738758875
I think it clears one million easy. 2 sood nearly 700k in 3 days with a lower install base and while the series was still growing in popularity. I think two million is a safer bet

>>738758348
>charge hold is a fun
I don't disagree
>largely impractical option for skill expression
bull fucking shit. Peaking a corner vs peaking a corner by charge holding out a character width to pop out and blast a guy is not "impractical". It's a powerful mixup.

Splatoon 3s story absolutely did not give context into every aspect of the story
Nothing about the octarian side of the war was actually focused on and hardly a single thing about salmon run was even mentioned at all
We get one throwaway line from the logs talking about what mr grizz maybe used the golden eggs for, but ultimately not a single thing about splatoon 3s story had anything at all to do with salmon run
Splatoon 3s story was just "what if we did octo expansion but AGAIN since everyone LOVED it so much" forgettinf that octo expansion was really good because the story was good and the gameplay was new and being able to play as an octoling was huge in the context of the game
Splatoon 3 just took the gameplay aspect and forgot to integrate it into the world in a way that makes any sense at all
Most of the story literally nothing happens
In fact i would even say splatoon 3s story had nothing to do with anything at all in the slightest
A "conclusion" to the octarian conflict but the octarians arent the focus at all
Just enemy fodder for the sake of enemy fodder
Making mr grizz the villain by making him act entirely different from how he normally does and giving him almost the exact same motive as tartar from octo expansion, which they repeat AGAIN in side order
Orca served absolutely no purpose in the story

Chargers and splatlings should have a off-pov *kasheen* effect when they achieve full charge.

>>738759750
2/?
The stupid little salmonid you have with you doesnt matter at all and killing mr grizz doesnt matter at all because you can just go back and play more salmon run anyway
They imply lil judd takes over and then do absolutely nothing at all with that
The premise of "this one bear survived the spaceship crashlanding to earth and got hyperintelligent because it dreamed a lot while in cryostasis" is the stupidest premise ever
Deep cut served absolutely no role in the story no matter how you look at it

>>738756926
This! Sun Tuzu didn't write "The Art of Turf War" for nothing after all.

But yeah, start with Splatoon 3! It gives you the full Splatoon package. It's a ton of fun, both on your own and with friends.

>>738757250
>they get to see ninja squids swimming
They can see me?

>>738759467
it's a commital and rather expensive mixup
unsquid buffer with charge is half a second, plus swimming itself, you're baisically charging twice and likely ruining your positioning for a pick, so it better be fucking worth it
going trad charger plain lets you do more

>>738759867
Splatoon 3s story couldnt decide what it wanted to focus on so it tried to cover everything and ended up covering literally nothing
If the sunken scrolls and the themeing if the game were anything to go by, they shouldve focused on deep cut and the history of the three clans and on the splatlands and not a bunch of other new things that came out of nowhere that they had to rush a connection to everything for

>>738759750
>if you ignore and downplay everything it touches on, it doesn't touch on anything at all!
Sure man. And nothing happens in any splatoon story until the end. And Order’snmotivation is hardly the same as Grizz or Tartar

>>738759852
Thats not what tartar did
The point was that tartar idolized the hell out of humanity
And misinterpreted what they were like
Criticizing us for focusing on stupid things like fashion trends and fighting for stupid reasons when thats exactly what humans did
The "message" was that this thing was insane and couldnt see its hypocrisy
"Enough for 8 to save the city" how about the fact that they were literally about to be killed and wanted nothing more but to go to the surface and has nothing else going for them

>>738754536
its a much faster game that requires less direct coordination. the time to kill is also lower

>>738759750
>but ultimately not a single thing about splatoon 3s story had anything at all to do with salmon run
I kind of liked that.
It's not as if the game said nothing about Salmon Run. Even if the game didn't provide some grand Salmon Run story, the Salmon Run mode itself did give lots and lots of clues as to what Salmon Run was or wasn't.
And then you had the story mode, that was primarily focused on the whole Alterna stuff and its human connection.

And then the Alterna stuff and the Salmon Run stuff intersected. And that was kind of rad.

>>738760094
Okay heres what their motives were: lets erase all of this current species to make MY ideal species/stae of existence
Tartar: wanted to kill everyone and recreate its idealized species, forcing people to become mindless zombies in the process
Grizz: wanted to kill everyone and recreate his idealized species, forcing people to become mindless zombies in the process (mind you, they dont talk about why fuzzy ooze can even do that bexause its a stupid ass plot)
Order: wants to basically lobotomize everyone and turn everyone into mindless zombies into what it thinks is the idealized state of being. Also happens to be an ai like tartar was

>>738760451
But that's because MY ideal > your ideal.

>>738760138
he idolized humans, but he also knew exactly what lead to their downfall despite how great they were
that's why he called cephs out for being just as vapid and violent
the plan was to nuke inkopolis to demonstrate his power and then keep standby as a neutral peacekeeping threat
tartar was insane, but tartar was also right
and 8 could've escaped to the surface and then fucked off in a makeshift boat to the nearest shore because fuck these guys over there she's never seen them

There literally wasnt a salmon run connection to alterna though
Alterna being remnants of humanity wouldve worked if all of it wasnt clearly built for us inklings to utilize freely
None of the testing stages fit in with alterna at all
They simply do not make sense nor is there even a good reason for there to be testing to begin with
The only thing was that ark polaris was the spaceship that crashed that mr grizz came from and that wasnt even a part of alterna, mr grizz found alterna from the ships gps system or whatever

A big problem splatoon has as a whole is that instead of giving us lore in game theyll do exclusive dev interviews to explain huge worldbuilding and plot things and maybe put info in japanese artbooks instead of into the game so they can just retcon anything they want whenever they want, i guess

Someone tell me if I'm on some stupid, but I've started considering Splatoon 3 as "The best shooter as long as I'm playing it"
If I'm thinking about what to play, Splat3 rarely comes up, but once it does I start to think about how great splatoon is and get really into it.
And then I get my fill and put it down.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Splatoon 2 is undergoing server amintenance. Don't bother booting up till next rot

Oh, to clarify, I don't consider other games on the level of splatoon, I really think it is one of the best shooters out today.

>>738761174
Even disregarding outside sources, splatoon 3 including side order did a horrible job with the plot
Like an established bit of canon was that sanitized octolings are made up from the sanitization goop and are functionally not alive
And they just retconned that completely in side order
And thats why making mr grizz the big final boss for splatoon 3 was the literal stupidest possible thing they couldve done because the reason for salmon run literally just boiled down to "get eggs just because, i guess?" and now that lil judd is supposedly in charge its just like. Okay so what the hell did we do all that for then
Like none of that meant anything
If there were salmonids in alterna MAYBE it couldve mattered
If anything at all actually had anything to do with salmon run and not just that you have a smallfry with you
The most appealing thing about mr grizz is that he was a mystery
And given the way tartar functioned, there is absolutely no feasibly way that it wouldnt have known about ark polaris or alterna

Special seems to be tied to the bot buddy (ie riding big manta, summoning master mega). No idea about relic powers though. I think they may become inherent abilities, but whether they’re universal things everyone gets from a boss or just slots that unlock and can be customized, like with this double jump, who knows

>>738739969
why do they lock the pve mode behind level progression. i don't want to play pvp to get to lvl 4 just so i can unlock pve. it's fucking dumb.
i got a week of free nintendon't online when i got this game, but playing pvp was hell. i ended up just dropping the game by the time my free week was over.

>>738761157
>>738761546
Actually, looking at it, the relic power is also octagonally shaped. So it seems basically guaranteed that you can customize them abilities you get from treasure anywhere in the map, and you probably unlock new slots from the bosses. And yeah, they seem to be power ups instead of things assigned to a new input on your controller. This game has a fuckton of build options

>>738760656
Also that was blatantly not tartars plan at all, as tartar itself specifically tells you that it was created to pass down humanitys knowledge to the next dominant species, but tartar decided we werent worthy of that

How long do you think Raiders campaign will be?

>>738761567
first 4 levels of pvp are baisically a tutorial letting you figure out the controls and mechanics
turf war is too casual to count as pvp as it distinctly lacks in the versus aspect, it's kinda like playing hightower in tf2 where everyone just fucks around and you get kicked for actually pushing the cart

That’s not correct. Like obviously incorrect, because Acht was partially sanitized. For someone who is yapping a ton about the story, that’s a huge thing to have wrong

just make it so only gootuber can hold its charge just like splat1. it's retarded that base and e-liter can save charges.

>>738757253
explain your reasoning. i'm intrigued.

>>738761764
20 hours since it's a single player focused game. I'm really hoping that the multiplayer is engaging enough that I could play it for hundreds of hours.

>>738761706
I think those are special spirhalite crystals on its back. Probably what gives you the new upgrade for relic powers

>>738762003
Okay so i was wrong about them being made up from the goop itself, but another issue with acht is that they canonically were willingly sanitized and then they act like they didnt make that choice themself

the fact that people are complaining about charge hold, of all things, really tells me the level of play the dudes here are at
like, bitch, 3 has maps that are so fucking wide open that you can glue a charger to the ground during charge and he'll still wipe the enemy team if left unchecked
charge holding is strong, but it's also niche and takes restraint to not use when it's not actually needed, if someone's using it for every shot they are actively crippling themselves, ergo, only shitty chargers do it often enough for guys like you to notice
it's kind of like jump revving with heavy in tf2, low-grade players use it all the time because they don't know any better but strong ones know that it's a niche aggressive option that you have to be able to both afford and justify to even consider (slightly less cool than charge hold though)
not even goob uses charge hold much, and its hold is giga buffed- it's got a short buffer, it's got charge-strafing, it's got enough duration to use rolls and surges, it can be held whenever, and goob still uses raw 100s, partials and torp combos for its bread and butter

>And thats why making mr grizz the big final boss for splatoon 3 was the literal stupidest possible thing they couldve done because the reason for salmon run literally just boiled down to "get eggs just because, i guess?" and now that lil judd is supposedly in charge its just like.

Yeah, you really don’t know what you’re talking about if you’re getting basic shit like that wrong, so you shouldn’t keep spouting nonsense. In what way did they act like Acht didn't choose to be partially sanitized? She wakes up in the simulation and tries to rescue Marina. That’s all

>>738760092
Sunken scrolls aren’t meant to be full-on lore dumps, they’re suppose to be small tidbits to explain different aspects of the game and that’s it. You can sum up the scrolls with “here’s why/how [x] is.” They’re not there to give you a full-on lore history of each of the clan’s history, just enough to explain how frye can control eels and shit. Besides, it would ruin the magic if they overshared and left nothing to speculation

I love Raiders because it let me to a chain of events that made me discover this artist who draws juicy Frye (and sometimes other splatoon girls) pretty much every day.

>>738763165
Why is she so big?

>>738740673
Yes, just play 3. Play story and then start doing turf wars/salmon runs. Ignore that guy, he’s probably poor so he emulates

>>738763350
Because she IS big, her 3d model is stacked for the standards they have to that artstyle.

>>738763557
meant big as in tall. camera angle makes you look ant sized compared to her

As someone already into splatoon, is there a way to get gyro aim like splatoon in other games via Steam input or something? Literally nothing else does gyro like splatoon does because its method kinda necessitates a camera reset button, but that's how I built up my muscle memory.

>>738765921
It kind of sucks compared to Splatoon's reset button, but on Steam you can configure a gyro on-off toggle button. And you can turn off the gyro and re-adjust your gyro before quickly turning it back on.
It's not as good but you can become pretty quick and comfortable with it somewhat easily anyway.

What genres of music do you think Raiders will cover? The some from the new trailer had an interesting sound, but I couldn’t quite place influences. Reminded me a bit of the Spyro ost but with an island vibe

>>738767186
I check in on them every now and then, and the mental illness has ratcheted up an absurd degree. It used to be way less shizo posting and more people speculating about sales and reacting to surprise hits, if I remember right. Wish it wasn’t a cesspool, cause this launch would be fun to discuss with sane people

how would you guys rank the games

>>738767565
3>1>2
3 is the best in basically all ways save map design. 1 has a unique charm to it still, even if it has the least content. 2 is basically obsolete, save Octo Expansion, and it had horrible special design that ruined it for me by the end

Sorry but people arguing that 1 is better than either 2 or 3 are blinded by nostalgia.

It came out during the pandemic and so I have 600 hours in it.

Why are Salmoniggers allowed to live, why don't we just carpet inkstrike them off the face of the Earth

>>738768129
the default splatoon 3 tanks don't look like you can have subs on them.

>>738769278
I mean the gameplay differences between the tank in Raiders

>>738766185
I didn't mean in terms of having a reset button period, I mean Splatoon uses world-space gyro, as opposed to just about everything else

>>738757349
>it's just the same shit as 1.
1's final boss is better than anything in 2's base campaign. it's pretty sad how much of a downgrade 2's was from that.

File: 1768404503692095.png (196.6 KB)

>>738769528
it technically is a difference even it's not an exciting one if it is true though. i'm just going off of the fact that none of the shots in the trailer show it with a sub like the other tanks. some relic powers won't be available on all tanks.

File: IMG_0146.jpg (194.8 KB)

>>738769862
Ah, I forgot that was in the direct, good call out. And you’re probably right, relics powers and gadgets(though likely maxed at two pretty early) could be one of the main things limited/enabled by tank variety. Makes more sense than a boss upgrade, and those dangling charms are most likely relics. Hadn’t pieced that all together yet. Cool, thanks anon! Makes me wonder if we do get any unique upgrades from the bosses, or just progress and some a powerful relic or something

unique boss upgrades would be cool. now that you said that, it'd be nice if they made completely new weapons as boss drops.
>dangling charms
those are tied to which ever idol is going to activate their attack. it glows when it's ready similar to specials in the mainline games.

>>738770683
I wanna love the idea of riding Big Man but the trailer didn't make him look at effective. I wonder if you can upgrade the crew's super moves and make them obscenely broken in the endgame.

>And if you have good taste, you adore inkling girls because they're adorable little babies

You can keep parroting things but I will grin in sheer joy when it's removed, just like I did when Moray Towers was removed. Splatoon ill needs such cancer.

>>738767565
Never played 1 because it's stuck on a shit system. The concept of having a giant gamepad with a screen included that you'd need to replace at a costly price if it starts drifting is improbable. Not even jews would try this shit.
2>3 because the maps are abominable in 3.
People sharing complaints about 2 specials are mega sweaties playing high level Splatoon, I don't care. Imagine making a profession out of playing a kid's game, and making it unbearable for everyone around you.

Get 3 and play ranked until you reach A and if you don’t like it, don’t continue. If you do like it, continue. Turf War isn’t that fun, it’s nice on the surface but all the ranked modes are where the actual game is at. Salmon Run is fun too and they actually put dev time into it for 3.

>>738774065
You’re retarded lol, the maps in 2 are still shit, and none of the specials are fun casually either

>>738774265
>my god was eggstra work a shitshow. Only got silver, people would just not stop dying.
