Splatoon is Nintendo's unique twist on the shooter genre. Shoot ink on both your friends and environments to win the match! Players can turn into squids and 'swim' through their team's ink color. Players can also use their team's ink color to slow down enemy movement. It's ink or be inked in this chaotic marriage of third person shooters, de Blob, and good ole fashioned paintball.
I don't play with friends in friends-only matches much as I play much earlier than the night owls here but ranked mode is awesome! There's three other modes within it man! It's a bit more For Glory while the Turf War is For Fun. I'll always choose to jump into someone's game if a friend is online though.
I'd love to organize time to play with you guys but my hours are so weird. I do have friends I play with for both rank and turf but we haven't managed to get a full team for Splatoon organized.
Finally finished the end boss - the very last section caused me many deaths. But then I realized I was just standing too close, which didn't give me enough time to react to the squid bombs. Once I moved further back, it was pretty straightforward. Great end boss.
@Octorockin Yeah, I would have loved to see half an hour of this, with some interview material and cool information tidbits spliced in. Would be sweet if Nintendo dressed these people up in squid outfits and arranged a live performance at some point, IMO. A Squid Sisters show during the next E3 FTW!
So is the Splatoon community here dead now? lol No mention of Hammerhead Bridge being released (that final level we knew about!) and the fact that Splatfest is happening now! I will concede that it's still early for many of us… only 6AM on the west coast…
Goddamn work is killing my gaming! I want to be playing Splatoon but can't find time or energy to do it. I would check out Hammerhead Bridge, but I'm going to be busy for the rest of the day.
@VofEscaflowne Well, I'm not sure about that either to be honest with you. I haven't kept up with the Splatfests and stuff since I haven't played Splatoon for ages.
