  • Splatoon 3 closely follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, but its raucous, vibrant matches still excel in variety, style, and fantastic design.

      I do think it's nuts that they released it THIS late. I understand that timely reviews aren't always possible or best but pushing six weeks after release is wild. By now I've heard all the opinions I need to decide whether I want to play this game and even the most beautifully written review from EZA isn't that useful to me

    • @badsketch9264
      @badsketch9264 Před rokem

      ​@@godribbon Well, that's you. I normally only play console games when they get a definitive versions or whatever. And I only do that after reading or watching well written reviews, being the first out the gate is probably not the way to critique a game fairly either. But since YOU already know all you need, I guess CZcams channels should abandon the catalog style of getting passive views.

    Love that after learning about the out of bounds jukebox under the plaza Blood mentioned it! Give it to us!!
    Also I feel like it's definitely time to expand the Splatoon series, rather than iterating constantly on this formula I think the best option would be to alternate between spin-offs that tap into other genres and the more traditional multiplayer games with a small campaign. A Splatoon RPG is long overdue and could give us the Deep Dive (I'm sorry) in the Splatoon world that we're fasting for.

    One thing that irks me about Splatoon 3 and other games, is that they spike the difficulty right at the end to make sure the finale explodes in an ink-slathered crescendo. Games of this ilk usually strip you of powers and/or weapons before the end and increases the difficulty needlessly. This is especially stinging in Splatoon 3 because it's mostly a challenging but easy-going game, so the final boss being a huge pain goes against the rest of the campaign and the game's sense of casual splatting.

    This is my own personal experience, but I had too many connection issues and it ruined Splatoon 3 for me. :( I've ended up dropping the game because it's just too frustrating to play. Was really excited for this game, like, it was one of my most anticipated and hyped games of 2022, and I ended up feeling really let down by how bad the server stability is. I know Nintendo in general still has a long ways to go in this area, but i've never had these sort of problems before in one of their online games. :/

    • @omgitsbees

    No mention of the seasonal pass in the catalog, lack of weapon loadout diversity, server problems, awful lag in the training room, or rampant hackers that have plagued all the Splatoon games. They also removed most visual effects from stuff like ink that was in 2 making 3 look so much duller. I like 3, but it feels like it exchanged actual quality for pure scale. Even going back to 2 it feels so much more polished.

      What I meant wasn't necessarily the general concept of single player and multiplayer, but each of those distinct modes. "More" would include the tabletop game, the various shops, locker room, local wireless lobby in a separate building, amiibo station, recon, etc. -Bloodworth
