Why isn't it mainstream yet?

>>713648928 (OP)
A lot of reasons.

>Nintendo exclusive - locks out PC/other consoles which means you need to buy a Nintendo console just to play the game
>Most mainstream popular games are free to play these days. Splatoon costs $60 and likely soon $70 up-front on top of paying Nintendo $20 a month to use your own p2p connection
>Filtered by motion controls - need to use gyro controls to actually excel in the game, no option for mouse/keyboard (yet)
>Overly cutesy aesthetic/initially marketed in a childish way with "YOU'RE A KID NOW YOU'RE A SQUID NOW"
>Unreliable network issues/bad matchmaking, which is partially to do with Switch 1's weak network capabilities, but also shoddy netcode particularly at Splat 3's launch. The matchmaking is still pretty lopsided.

Now that being said Splatoon is extremely popular in Japan, and in general is Nintendo's 4/5th best selling franchise right now behind Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, and Animal Crossing. That's pretty crazy for a game that came out on the Wii U. I think it has potential to grow more, and it not being totally embraced by the mainstream is still fine at the end of the day, as the popular mainstream games right now are slop like fortnite, roblox, apex, GTA V, fifa, call of duty etc.

>>713649564
kek you stole that from a ProChara vid

>>713648928 (OP)
It's a bunch of children, with weird trans HTR countdowns in the lobby all over it. It's the most overtly pedophile franchise in history.

I'd probably play it on PC though. I hated it with a controller.

>>713649564
Dont forget about the community being an alt-left circlejerking hellhole. I wouldnt want the game to be available to a wider audience, because at least this way people can still have the impression of the game as a kids game and not overrun as it is. Can't walk around the hub without seeing at least 1 or 2 trans-positivity posts.

>>713648928 (OP)
It is. What planet are you living on that normalfags aren't the vast majority of Splatoon players?

>>713648928 (OP)
It's close enough in Japan already.

>>713650927
You‘re surprised that a game that appeals to pedophiles has a lot of trannies playing it?

>>713648928 (OP)
I played the first one at my friend's house. He's an autist with a bunch of amiibos
It was an easy baby game that makes you feel like a badass, just like Call of Duty
>run around, kill a bunch of people, no one really paints the level on purpose, just TDMs
I sleep

>>713648928 (OP)
Wow, cool game! Can I get it on steam?

>>713648928 (OP)
>One of Nintendo's pillar series
uh yeah
Now, why westerners don't like it as much as asians, no idea

>>713648928 (OP)
Pedophiles ruin this IP for me. I mean the repetitive nature of ink turf > swim in ink > jump out > shoot was already grating on me to begin with.

Even worse still, the devs enable their degeneracy. The """"woomies""" are literally gyrating their asses out with small as fuck shorts.

>>713651203
You player an online game and thought you did well because the game was "easy" and not because you were playing against lobotomites...? The gamemodes are all symmetrical.

>>713652039
>not because you were playing against lobotomites
Not like it matters
You can't communicate with them anyway

>>713648928 (OP)
because the fags ruined the western fandom for it

>>713652184
How does communicating with them give you a better idea of how they would play if they were capable of thought?

>>713652334
Might as well have been fighting bots in a single player game
I played for like 6 hours straight and all my games were like that
I'm just glad I didn't waste my money on it lol

>>713652570
Spending six hours without even finding out the real gamemodes exist is a sign of extreme levels of retardation.

>>713652776
>the real gamemodes
I just played the one? The one where the winner is the one that paints most of the map?

>>713650143
>>713651193
>>713652263
How does someone being LGBTQ personally affect you?

>>713653198
Yeah, like I said. Playing six hours without even realizing the real gamemodes exist is a level of retardation I would not have thought possible.

>>713655126
>Check lobby posts for art and funnies
>Several "x days on HRT" posts that's just bad handwriting on a white background
>People shitting on a specific user that's also just bad handwriting on a white background
>Some furries leftover from when lobby posts were mostly erotic furry drawings
Because it's useless clutter. I just stopped checking the lobby ages ago
>Switch to jap region
>Posts are art and funnies
Shame you can't sit there unless you want garbage ping in splatfests

>>713653198
That's the sandbox mode for shitting around anon

>>713656326
>>713656252
>lie
>obfuscate
>call me retarded
lmao this is poor bait

>>713656808
Hop on ranked brother that's where the good shit is (except clams)
Always sad to see people filtered by the tutorial mode

>>713656808
>you're lying!
>this multiplayer shooter has only one queue and only one gamemode where all the people just happen to be retards fucking around!

>>713657663
Yes
>The lie
it's a sandbox, there was a clear objective
>The obfuscation
"there was another game mode but I'm not saying what it was teehee"

>>713648928 (OP)
Because despite what /v/ would like to believe, modern shooters like BO6 and Fortnite are significantly better gameplay wise.

>>713657951
The ranked queue, even back in Splatoon 1, never ran Turf War, and instead ran a rotation of properly objective oriented competitive gamemodes.

>>713648928 (OP)
It's plenty popular in its home turf and I honestly don't think NoJ gives a fuck if it's not Fortnite tier elsewhere.

switch 1 players, hows salmon run going for you?

>>713657951
>75% of the match doesn't matter what you do either way
>Casual mode where winning and losing doesn't make any difference
>Typically used for chilling out and trying new and/or stupid things (e.g. new weapon, new build, trying to play by doing nothing but rolling with the roller)
Pretty sandbox to me
As for other modes, there's some loose equivalents to king of the hill, payload, and CTF. Then whatever you'd equate clam blitz to, you gather clams from around the map until someone gets enough to make a super clam which you then use to open the opponent's net and your team can toss in all the smaller clams

>>713655126
Maybe because they can't keep to themselves and insist everything change to suit their tastes? I used to be an ally, that was a long time ago. You brought this upon yourselves and now the mainstream has turned against you. It was going great when it was just gay people wanting to assimilate into society but no no, we MUST change society. Fuck off.

>>713658550
It's sad. Game slows down but the timer doesn't
Do we really live in this future where Nintendo purposefully made a side game mode worse to promote Switch 2 sales...?

>>713659171
There's also shit loads of desync issues. Scrappers are never in the same spot for everyone. Drizzlers move at sanic speed and their missiles take forever to deflect.

Shiver and Frye wear too much clothing.

>>713659749
does the game que longer for anyone else if just 1 person leaves the lobby?

>>713648928 (OP)
The fanbase of creepy pedophile tranny furfags, that's why.

>>713650143
Yeah, I'd never let my kids play it online. The gameplay is fun enough, but the game is objectively overrun with disgusting groomers that plaster their pedo art and LGBT propaganda all over the lobby and their statuses.

>>713648928 (OP)
It is in Japan, and that’s all that matters. Becoming mainstream in the west would destroy splatoon.

>>713652026
/thread. Its totally repulsive and repellant to anyone that isn't a tranny groomer. The gameplay is fine if not extremely repetitive, but the fanbase and the developers catering to their extreme mental illness make it very much an unsafe product to let kids play. Which is who it was supposed to be for, so Nintendo shot themselves in the foot.

>>713648928 (OP)
It'll never be mainstream with Nintendo's horrifically shitty online infrastructure.

>>713648928 (OP)
Japs adore it, but you probably knew that. There seems to be subset of tendies in the west that are only interested in, like,
>Mario
>DK
>3D Zelda
>Smash
>Animal Crossing.
Splatoonfags tend to be in their own specific groups like pokefags or metroidfags are.

>>713651047
still doesn't make it mainstream

>>713648928 (OP)
No cute boy idols

>>713650143
>weird trans HTR countdowns in the lobby
>>713661137
>pedo art and LGBT propaganda all over the lobby
Post pictures? What does this look like? Sounds so weird.

I love the aesthetics of the game, but since I don't do consoles, I've never played it.

>>713648928 (OP)
but it is
that's like claiming Kirby isn't mainstream

>>713662629
I miss Splatoon 1 / early Splatoon 2 posts. They were funny in a stupid sort of way.

>>713663038
i miss miiverse, the posts there were genuine funny shit unlike the post irony crap the internet and fags seem to love

>>713649564
>>Overly cutesy aesthetic/initially marketed in a childish way with "YOU'RE A KID NOW YOU'RE A SQUID NOW"
Why is NoA marketing so terrible?

“Poolsclosed” is the /v/ approved pool aint it?

>>713664515
Yes

>>713664515
yes

>>713664515
We're on /vg/ now. Inkgen is the new poolcode.

>>713664350
NoA hates games that are obvious reminders that Nintendo is a Japanese company. Remember how they treated Fire Emblem for like 20 years.

GG's to that person I join in salmon run fun shifts

>>713664562
>>713664590

Thanks. GG to “G!!!!” You’re a real one.

Likely me if you played with Breadbug. Thanks a bunch. You were great.

>>713665126
No problem bro

>>713648928 (OP)
Locked to proprietary hardware which isn't suitable for competitive gaming.

>>713665210
thanks

>>713664350
You now remember how much NoA bastardized Splatoon in localization compared to the Japanese original and unlike NoE's localizations.

If anyone else is playing Salmon I’ll join for a few games.

ggs bro

Is this truly the worst fanbase in gaming?

>>713678436
nowhere near it

>>713678582
who is worse?

>>713678637
sonic and pokemon
t. big sonic and pokemon fan

>>713678735
>tfw Sonic fans seemed chill for a while
>Start to notice all the autism around the comics

>>713678829
Is Sammy Classic Fan based?

>>713678848
No, but he was also however many years ago
When I was getting more into Sonic the threads were mostly a lot of people who were beaten down by the state of the series and were just waiting for whatever Sega's next fuck up was
They seem more aggressive again

>>713679067
Yea because we are back in the drivers seat and winning again baby

>>713678436
no fromfags, zeldafags, smashfags, and many other fags are far worse

>>713678637
undertale/deltarunefags, codfags, blizzardfags, minecraftfags, snoys and tendies, etc.

>>713648928 (OP)
Splatoon is too hard for the average shitter, unless all you want to do is play Turf, which would get boring quickly. Progression 3 is also such a grind in nearly every way.

>>713679865
Its not hard its just annoying

>>713661759
SNIFFFFFFFFF

>>713679865
>Progression in 3
is what I meant. Catalog grind, weapon EXP, hundreds of titles (good luck getting what you want).

>>713648928 (OP)
because the controls are fucking awful.
Turing on gyro ruins the analogue controls so you can't use both at the same time.
it's been shit for 3 whole games.

>>713680439
Wat
Gyro+stick is the most commonly used control scheme

>>713680503
sticks only is better

squnny

>>713671741
I remembered :)

>>713678436
i wouldn't say worst but every splatoon fan i know is pretty easy to hate
a lot of people who latch on to the punk elements but just act kind of rude half the time or they make super obnoxious OCs

>>713648928 (OP)
>multiplayer focused game
>Nintendo starts charging from online after It gets popular
I really want to play but paying for online is such a turn off

>>713648928 (OP)
Because the game is rife with trannies and pedo's. If you switch the game on you will load into the main city and see pictures of gay porn and "kiss boys" written everywhere by people who know fine well it will be seen by children. Early porn exposure is a deranged tranny fetish and this game is one of many places they can get away with it, nintendo doesn't do shit. Fuck trannies and fuck nintendo. Fuck splatoon.

>>713680503
yet it sucks compared to any PC game or even games like BOTW.

because when you turn on Gyro. it automatically disables an entire aim axis from analogue with out your consent. no option to use both anologue axis's and only use gyro as a final adjustment like it's meant to be.

>>713649564
Game too overrun by groomers for conscientious parents to agree to.
Game too kid-oriented for self-respecting adults to play without shame. (Unlike Mario Kart, Zelda, etc.)

>>713655126
>Trannies exist
>demand respect
>jewish companies give it to them
>Becomes trend
>Not respecting them becomes illegal
That's how. I owe nothing to some kiddie raping, shit stabber.

>Peek in
>Not a Splacoom thread

I'll take my leave.

>>713681019
Frankly I imagine that was done for a reason, so you don't accidentally shit up your aiming when you try to swing the camera. It's a lot quicker to aim up or down than it is to aim left or right with the gyro and it werks pretty well.

>>713648928 (OP)
Why do you want it to be?
going mainstream is shit for quality and retrain of the series identity. No matter what the IP is or art form its in.

Good luck anon

>>713683402
thanks

>>713648928 (OP)
Switch was huge and Splatoon 2/3 sold a ton, it's already mainstream. But it has potential to get bigger, especially if other shooting franchises keep failing and others simply get tired of playing the same game like fortnite or cod. Spltaoon Raiders will be the first Spaloot game for many

>>713683082
you can do it fangfox

This will be my last king

>that summerfest
They really couldn't come up with a better theme than that? I suppose it is appropriate in a way, a lot of people travel this time of year. Can't really say I give enough of a shit to pick a side. Guess it'll depend on what other people here pick.

We're picking land right reefbro?

>>713648928 (OP)
1. genuinely bad online in a game about playing online
2. Nintendo’s failure to BTFO the repulsive fagtransfurry community
3. ugly art direction that caters to aging millennials (oh wouldn’t it be fun if the gun that looks exactly like a water gun that was popular thirty years ago was meta?)
4. piss gurgling music genuinely atrocious and embarrassing for other people to hear

All it has going for it is the unique mechanics, but after ten years and three games people expect more.

>>713686684
Works for me. I'm not even particularly focused on splatoon right now, though I did want to do SR earlier despite not being available. Too focused right now on the upcoming banana game.

I like using weird weapons in turf war, but I'm not comfortable with them in ranked. The ranked modes are a thousand times better but I feel like I'm throwing if I don't pick a baby weapon like a Gal.

Alright bros I'm done ggs thanks for the 40 big shot kills tonight

ggs guys thanks for the help

>>713687284
Was it you that needed the maws kills reefbro?

gg team
i blame all the losses on switch 1 lag

>>713686969
>Too focused right now on the upcoming banana game
But you don't have a switch 2 so how are you going to play it?

>>713687348
No it was my fault for going after big shot kills and ignoring the eggs

>>713687335
yes, I thought it was obvious with how stupid aggressive I was going after every one that spawned

>>713687649
No it wasn't lol well if you need help with another gold boss badge let me know you helped me with the big shots so it's the least I can do

>obvious with how stupid aggressive I was going after every one that spawned
I mean we all get aggressive with maws because those fuckers a annoying

>>713687649
I don't even know if I have that card

they should add a hairstyle that looks like that

>>713687850
>if you need help with another gold boss badge let me know you helped me with the big shots so it's the least I can do
my next closest one is flipper flopper but it's only a bit above 8000 so I'm probably not gonna be really focused on grinding it out
>I mean we all get aggressive with maws because those fuckers a annoying
yeah but I was literally dropping everything like a retard to stalk them across the map lol, I guess it didn't happen when it was targeting you

>>713687483
Hey, I can still look forward to it. Been watching that direct a lot, everything about it looks great and I will eventually got a 2.

>>713688158
you know what I kept wondering why someone kept throwing bombs at the maws that were chasing me when I already threw one at it and it makes so much sense now lol

>I was literally dropping everything like a retard to stalk them across the map
literally me right now thankfully I'm almost done with getting the badge so I won't have to worry about it any more

>>713688164
true but it's going to be torture for you when it releases and you can't play it I'm going to spoil the game for you when I play it lololol

>>713687897
I didn't either, I just happened to get it just now and noticed I didn't have it
>>713688721
>thankfully I'm almost done with getting the badge
what are you at with it?

>>713688868
9733 right now I'm really close but I don't want to play too much I was getting really tired of playing salmon run a few weeks ago but thankfully the switch 2 released so I took some well needed brakes with mario kart now I'm taking thing slow

>another plane issue on the news

Been so damn focused on a specific regular title, I forgot that there are still gold and silvers I don't have yet. Kind of cool.

It's a serious problem, shit keeps happening way after it already passed for me and I die to shit I can't even see.

Don't make assumptions, buddy. Hell, wasn't too long ago I hadn't even hit 5k big shots and now that I checked, I've reached almost 5200. Surprising amount in such a short span of time.

>>713693972
Well someone kept posting it, or at least mentioning that name that I haven't seen in literal years.

>>713693996
Everyone's got their preferences. I have a soft spot for vanilla charger and roller despite most other anons disliking them, I really like flexibility.

should i buy 3 or is it too late?

>>713694292
Yeah he was he joined my room for a rotation and that's it

>too long ago I hadn't even hit 5k big shots and now that I checked, I've reached almost 5200
I doubt you'll go for the gold badge but if you do let me know so I can help you

>>713694759
They just announced a splatoon spin off game so I think splatoon 4 will be released in maybe three years

>>713694820
I may just end up getting it inadvertently down the line, but we'll see. Still focusing more on letting you have big shots, my count's simply been going up because my schedule hasn't been lining up with the usual times lately and I still have the need to murder all big shots immediately. Anyway, I'm gonna sleep now. Shouldn't have been up this late, but I like talking to you fellers. Have this little daughter holding a potato. Night.

>>713694967
>I think splatoon 4 will be released in maybe three years
Next is Animal Crossing, Splatoon 4 is probably at least 5 years away

>nearly 20 hours into singleplayer
I thought this was supposed to be a 5 hour tutorial?

>>713695134
Later bro hope you get a switch 2 soon so we can race in Mario kart

>>713695225
Are they still both made by the same team?

>>713695262
Depends on the player I have around 60 hours on the splatoon 2 story mode

>>713695262
yeah, the campaign is just a tutorial is an overblown meme, it's a full game in and of itself

>>713695134
gn sis

>>713695373
>Are they still both made by the same team?
Unless something has changed. New Horizons and Splatoon 3 were definitely made by the same team.

>>713695431
It was in 1 and 2
3 did a little more with it from their experimenting with octo expansion, though not to the same quality

go to sleep g!!

>>713695373
there's little overlap now

>>713695492
Having animal crossing and splatoon being made by the same team is insanely stupid with how big the games are they need to have their own teams

>>713695560
no

Splat 1 posts were kino. In general Miiverse lived during the perfect time right before the Internet became obsessed with flaunting LGBT gender identity stuff in every conceivable way. Splat 1 posts were always just people sharing cool art or wanting to have fun

I could tell things started falling apart around 2's release. my younger sibling asked me what a furry was after he browsed 2's plaza a bit on launch day and a small part of me died inside

>>713692671
In Splatoon 1 they added a bunch of silly memes to the dialogue and rewrote a lot of dialogue in general.
Even the team-commands during the multiplayer were rewritten so that communication with foreign players was all scuffed.
"To me!" became "Come on!" and "Nice!" became "Booyah!". If an American player said "Come On!" with the intentions of rushing forwards, foreign players would instead see "To me!" and would retreat. Likewise if a foreign player wanted an American player to come to their specific location with "To me!", the American players would just see "Come on!" and maybe wouldn't get the hint.

And in Splatoon 2 they completely rewrote Marina's character in order to make her Marie2.0 instead of letting her be the Pearl simp she was actually written to be.

90% of the reason why is because of the goofy marketing for the first game.

Half of this thread is eric nonsense, answering his own nonsense with more nonsense... Someone call his parents already he cant continue like that forever

Yeah but then you're limited to emulator-only PUGs. Not gonna get very far with that.

What is it about oversized shirts/a dress + large hats like these that is so arousing?

>>713701594

I think there's something in the male brain that activates when he sees a female in an oversized shirt, especially if said shirt belongs to him. The most raging boners of my entire life have been as a result of this.

it's a game specifically targeting pedophiles and any time i hear anybody even remotely normie talking about it all they have to say is that the characters make them uncomfortable and they find the game "gross". they won't touch it with a 10 foot pole, it doesn't matter what the gameplay is like.

>>713702272
That's true too. Then there's the third, forbidden, option.

Why does the male inkling have to sway his hips like that?

Where can I play this with people who aren't complete shit at the game, and don't take HRT?

There seems to be some unwritten understanding in the Splatoon art community that dissuades doing porn of the player characters.

NSO does not cost that much

>>713648928 (OP)
I remember how hard that the original was being talked up on the Wii U. Then I played it, and the thing I was looking forward to the most--being able to splat walls and run up them to get to better positions or to finesse on your enemy--was prevented by literal baby bumpers put all over the place.

I came around to the game eventually as I started to appreciate it for what it is, but I think a lot of people are stuffed by the fact that it is undeniably still designed for younger audiences first and foremost.

>>713648928 (OP)
70 Bills for a free to play game with less content than the other free to play...

>>713705268
It's literally $20 A YEAR. So many fucking ignorant faggots on this board.

GIVE ME RAIDERS

They somehow managed to get good movement, varied weapons and appealing characters whilst having something very stylishly distinct.
Just about every other current game with seasonal content is crammed full of DLC or other things. This one opts for a single expansion that doesn't divide the multiplayer playerbase.
Its only held back by the console not being strong enough and the network infrastructure. Things I really wish they'd fix up for the next game.

>>713707680
That Raiders game is probably a good idea, considering a lot of people seemed pretty disappointed about the fact how weakly the Splatlands were explored and utilized in Splat3. I remember hearing some people thinking how the single player campaign might be an open world game based on the first trailer and the Mad Max like world depicted therein.

>>713708778
Is 3's campaign good? I thought 2's campaign was quite bad, but never played Octo Expansion.

>>713708379
MKW still uses the same online infrastructure with p2p. If online wasn't improved there, it sure as hell won’t with splatoon 4 or ever for that matter

>>713648928 (OP)
Nintendo exclusivity really, every other reason thrown in this thread can be brushed aside due to good word of mouth advertising, I have plenty of friends that love Splatoon and I'd definitely shill out 60 or 70 bucks to get it on Steam.

>>713709619
I haven't picked up the new console yet, waiting for a few more releases first.
Have you noticed any connection issues or dropouts like you sometimes get in splat3. Any clips I've seen appear to be pretty stable.

>>713709112
I've still yet to finish it by I think it's alright. I have a soft spot for Splat1 campaign though: short and sweet woth a great final boss. I skipped 2 altogether, so I can't compare either to that one.

>>713709619
I fucking hate that Nintendo relies on p2p when p2p is cancerous dogshit. They need to fuckin' stop being so fucking lazy with it and bit the dedicated servers bullet already. Jesus Christ...

>>713709963
At least for me it’s fine, but I have heard of people dropping out of races in MKW for example (though supposedly that was some bug that was patched). Still, even with 8DX the connection issues with that were’t that big of a deal. The real test would be with something like splatoon 4 or mario maker 3, games that were infamous for their shit online

Exclusivity is literally the only reason it's as popular as it is. If Square Enix made it would've been a FoamStars.

>>713709112
Kinda like Octo Expansion which is good but is easier. Fun enough that I finished every level. Side Order is just okay though, way too little content for a rougelike

>>713697557
>And in Splatoon 2 they completely rewrote Marina's character in order to make her Marie2.0 instead of letting her be the Pearl simp she was actually written to be.
They eventually cracked down on that and all the lines added after the game came out where more accurate to her real personality.

>>713697557
I had the European version of Splatoon 1. One of the reasons I didn't get the sequel (or a Switch, which I bought alongside the third game) was that I was completely off put by the Treehouse translation (the only English trnaslation for S2). Not feeling the new idols and disliking the removal of every single special and most subs, i never looked back.

>>713712738
Octo introduced more styles of levels which I liked. There was one or two levels that I found far harder than I should have. I think it was one of the no-hit challenges and another a timed target shoot.
The limited ink, 8 ball and box copy ones were fun. Final mission was really good too.

>>713714028
I had the yurop version of S1 as well. So strange seeing Octavio get warped into a retard, for a second I thought him going insane between games was a plot point or something.

>>713706720
it's a little area denial game, the different cards let you place different block formations, the goal of the game is to try have the most blocks on the board at the end of the game usually by cutting the opponent off
it's probably easier to understand if you just try it yourself

>>713714662
Does it get you any rewards like gear or ability chunks etc.?

>>713715138
I believe the only non-tableturf rewards are an unique emote and some badges

What would an Inkling and human offspring look like?

Why isn't this mainstream yet?

>>713715138
You get an emote and title, but otherwise it’s mostly other tableturf-related stuff

As far as multiplayer songs go, I have a hard time remembering any specific songs, even though I like them. I'll have to go with the basic bitch Splattack, since it's such a classic. The jam session version is great too.

Because the first Splatoon is the only good one.

>>713722113
True

>>713648928 (OP)
NSO is just that bad. Playing Splatoon online has always felt like dogshit, and while that was kind of cute on the WiiU, it got stale later in the Switch's run. There's no excuse for putting up with it in the current year when the competition had this mostly solved during the PS3 / 360 era.

>>713660845
