    Big Man's fight isn't a "rip off", it's a reference. Two different things. It's honestly perfect that Big Man, a manta ray, has his boss fight referencing the manta ray boss from sunshine

    For me, all the levels were waaaaaay more creative than in Splatoon 2.
    It just felt like the devs were having fun when they made it.

    Since I continously forget how this list is offered, here are the letters-
    V-tier: Highest tier
    A-tier: Second highest
    S-tier: Middle tier
    K-tier: Second lowest
    O-tier: Lowest

    I remember i was raging so hard on the level that made you use the Tri-Stringer on the rails. The worse part was, for me in this case, at the last section where you had to charge and jump to hit the last targets to activate the rail below.

      the scrolls in the hub both addmore attention to stages but also makes you want to explore the hub more

    @JakoBpyroTech Před rokem +88

    I find it satisfying that the only Crab Tank stage was a V tier. The only problem was the fixation on "Righteous Rails", which in fact was not the only grind rail stage in Octo Expansion. (Just the most memorable because Bamboozler on it is stupid hard)

    • @JakoBpyroTech
      @JakoBpyroTech Před rokem +20

      Funny enough, the stage I would consider the spiritual successor to RR with Bamboozler is Target Town with Tri-Stringer, which is the grind rail stage Vasko rated highest and the only one without a checkpoint
      (After Alterna's Grind rail section definitely deserves the O tier.)

    • @eggnogisdead
      @eggnogisdead Před rokem +1

      I despised the crab tank level, CT was too slow and clunky, and the platforming section was punishing. The combat sections were the only redeeming quality the level had.
      That being said, I don’t think CT is bad though, it’s just that the level isn’t designed well

  • @plaidhatter1674

  • @salvii_4706
    @salvii_4706 Před rokem +38

    In my opinion, the recommended weapon shouldn’t always be the easiest one to complete the stage with. In the “Those aren’t birds” level, I think that the dapples were the best weapon to recommend because the nautilus was too easy and the dapple dodge rolls work nicely with the unsinkable. I do agree that recommending the slosher for the rail level was kind of dumb though. Still a great video!

    Funny story: The rail grinding levels are among my favorite. (and I really disliked Righteous Rails in OE)
    Also, in case anyone was wondering, the reward for finishing every stage with every possible weapon and 100% the over world is . . . a sad feeling. Not even a menu background!

  • @dreamhunter5011
    @dreamhunter5011 Před rokem +12

    Vasko not getting that the first three stages were supposed to be bad. Overpowered gear, linear paths, no reason to explore, monotonous level design, the fact that the area was another octo canyon/valley/crater/big pit, etc. They were supposed to make people feel preemptively disappointed before alterna happens.
    The one redeeming quality they were supposed to have was good music.

  • @TheRealRoyalArtworks
    @TheRealRoyalArtworks Před rokem +3

    Call me biased cause I main dark tetras, but the splashdown level is hands down my favorite. I missed that special so much in splat3, and the fact it was our main special through the whole single player campaign AND we get a whole level dedicated to it, I love it.
    SPOILERS FOR ONE OFNTHE BOSS FIGHTS AHEAD:
    In terms of boss fights though, big man was actually my favorite. Mario sunshine was one of , if not the most, memorable games for me growing up on GameCube. When I saw big man transform into the hype manga storm, I was overcome with so much happiness I felt like a little kid again. The color of his ink was even the same as in the Mario sunshine level, so the amount of detail they put into the fight was great. Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but big man was the best fight for me in the whole game

    Am I the only one who DIDN'T like a lotta the stages in this game?
    For one, WAY too many "shoot targets on a strict time limit" levels
    Plus a lot of stage premises were just copypasted from OE, like making a sculpture out of crates, destroying all the targets in one shot, surviving a barrage of enemies in a small area with no weapon, etc
    And even if Octo Canyon's levels were easy they were still infinitely more varied with a lot more different enemies, mechanics more evenly spread out, a lot more mechanics in general (Rip Industrial Squeegees)
    And what especially annoyed me was how they give you the best Hero Shot upgrade system in the series and only let you use it in like a third of the stages
    They even give you regular shooters in some stages as opposed to your Hero Shot
    What's the point

      @@thesavageone8685 I'm talking about how they occasionally give you a preset shooter instead of the one you already have, it's dumb
      I don't wanna solve puzzles or hit targets over and over, just give me something to kill
      The amount of levels that just let you run and gun no strings attached is in the single digits

      yeah, while i did have fun on a lot of the levels (the zipcaster levels and the limited ink curling bomb one for example), theres a difference between taking inspiration from oe and just straight up copypasting parts of it into splat 3 :/ the final few levels were the worst offenders imo, the whole ascent to the rocket and the mr grizz fight just felt like a bad, less climactic ripoff of oe's final sequence

    Idk if this is a controversial opinion but imo mamalians is very comparable in difficulty to octo expansion just with a few more filler levels

    The splatoon 3 stages feel MORE like tutorials, and most of them are. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I do prefer the 2 and 1 variations.
