its more splatoon, but the single player is actually good now and they finally (after 7 years) figured out that its fun when youre able to play with your friends. holy shit. just ignore the communication errors. paid online service btw.
maybe i was just really burnt out when splatoon 2 dropped, as it hadnt been that long since the first game which id poured hundreds of hours into. but that game simply didnt grab me the way the first one did, and the way this has been doing. i cant stop playing, its summer 2015 all over again. i love how fucking stupid everything about this game is, the cheesy dialogue, the music going BEN BEN w/ the among us theme, getting spawn camped on mahi mahi because some genius decided it should have like 10cm^2 area now, getting tenta missiled by 3 flyfishes while waiting 10 years to do a roller flick because some genius decided the current salmon run rotation should have dynamo roller, trying to get the shades to sit on the moai head in your locker just right, keeping lil judd in your peripheral vision at all times after beating him in a childrens card game, etc etc
i dont want to be out here talking about how splatoon's core game design is genius or whatever because i dont actually play other shooters these days. likewise i dont want to be talking about how innovative this is because splatoon has gotten pretty comfortable now. 1 was the trailblazer 7 years ago, this is the third rodeo. ive already started seeing people unhappy that the word "splatoon" has gone from meaning "creative new weird wii u ip" to "hugely successful series that has started putting out entries that all look and play the same" which is fair really. maybe ill be more cynical when we get around to like splatoon 6 with idols called like Carol and Reefe ready to announce the single worst map rotation youve ever seen. as of right now its simply too fun and charming. now if youll excuse me i have to grind to level 98 so i can unlock the dab
