I don't like the game at all so far, but I'll keep playing. I'm hoping it'll click later, I was really looking forward to it.

Whats not clicking for you?

 

[Growlie19]

Got in finally only to lose. Oh well....

 

[BassForever]

I'm still in? Lol

 

[careksims]

Dualies are my calling. Had about 4 disconnects and 1 where they couldn't find enough players. Everything else was butter.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I managed to get one matchbin, everything was going good until it got to the last min, then my team let me the fuck down

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Damn didn't realise it was only an hour. How do the motion controls compare to the first?

 

[phanphare]

Really fun but it could be my imagination or the motion controls are more sensitive than the Wii U. I had to frequently hit Y to recalibrate.

I think the gyro was better in the Wii U

seems like everything Switch is back to six axis

Dito.

But it's 90% not knowing what happens around me and getting used to the controls.

 

[Octavianus]

Awesome. People who use rollers are still as easy to beat as I remember.

Felt about the same to me.

 

[Fireblend]

Still playing. One. Last. Game!

 

[psychowave]

Welp, guess I'm gonna have to buy Spla2oon now.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Okay, for some reason playing with wireless controllers if giving me connection errors.

Playing in Handheld mode is fine.

Playing with a Pro controller or disconnected joy-cons is giving me all sorts of problems.
Obviously others are using wireless controllers and aren't having these issues, but wireless controllers are definitely the cause of my problems.

Table top mode disconnects, docked mode disconnects - handheld has had no disconnections. As soon as I remove the joy cons, disconnected internet connection.

Hopefully this is something Nintendo can fix in a firmware update. This doesn't just affect Splatoon but also watching trailers on the eShop and playing Fast RMX.

The game is awesome.

 

[boneyjangles]

Error Code 2618-0201 the entire hour

I had that at first, reboot solved it.

 

[Spukc]

why do they call this splatoon 2 ?

 

[wiibomb]

won 2 and lost 2, could only play 4 matches, but my goodness this game is goooood

I'm amazed that I can play splatoon on my handheld while relaxing on my work desk

 

[Neff]

Well god damn that was FUN

Also I'm still really good at this

 

[Spades]

It's over....


I need this in my life.

Still playing here.

 

[jariw]

Do the majority of people play with motion controls off? Or is it worth keeping it on? Is it better for aiming after some practice? I want to get better. I feel I suck. Lol.

During Splatoon 1, most people seemed to use motion controls. However, you should only use motion controls to fine-tune your aiming, use the sticks for bigger movements.

I really really really miss the Gamepad map, though... I can't see how the current map solution in Splatoon 2 can well during gameplay.

 

[Rodin]

I think the gyro was better in the Wii U

seems like everything Switch is back to six axis

Had the opposite feeling playing the game. I found them even better than on Wii U

Yep. Good advice for newcomers.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

There is no good reason for the lack of mini game in between loading matches imo. would be great to bring that back

I don't think minigames were even IN the first testfire.

 

[Com Truise]

My first Splatoon experience and it was pretty fun. The dual guns are nice, that special kind of sucks though, you're just waiting to be shot down lol.

 

[Plum]

Uni internet can't fix the NAT issues until at least next week...

...oh well, I'll enjoy the game when it comes out in full.

 

[Jintor]

gotta experiment a bit more with pro controller v split joycons. Split joycons definitely feels like motion control done right... but it's a bit too sensitive and you never really realise how often your wrist is a little off-centre and it throws your aim

splat dualies are my fucking jam, it's like a splattershot jnr but with a dodge roll, though the recovery on the roll is painful (almost a second i think of can't move)

 

[The_Endgamer]

people not getting a match and i'm here in the lobby in overtime getting an extra game heheheh

 

[RichiRamjag]

There is no good reason for the lack of mini game in between loading matches imo. would be great to bring that back

May very well be back. This seems like a custom build meant for quick online play and only that.

 

[deoee]

Welp, guess I'm gonna have to buy Spla2oon now.

Please don't do this xD

 

[Pikma]

I won all the games 😁😁😁

 

[Octavianus]

why do they call this splatoon 2 ?

Because it's a sequel to the first game.

 

[RobbieNick]

I'm guessing the broken connections depended on which regions were getting the most stress. I'm getting 20mps on my Switch which should be more than enough to play an online match, but only got one full game in.

 

[MannyToons]

Please tell me how you're gonna play Splatoon decently without them

By the way 0 disconnessions for me in 6 games

You'd be surprised at how many people can. Some even better than motion players.

 

[Soph]

First time player, started out horrible but got the controls figured out pretty well near the end. The music is great, game becomes more fun when you get proficient. Only played in handheld mode so far.

 

[PeterGAF]

why do they call this splatoon 2 ?

Should be called Spla2n

 

[Christberg]

Man, I suck at this. Kind of a nice feeling in a way, will jump back in later tonight

 

[Bullza2o]

This is my second game now after the hour.

 

[11redder]

Do the majority of people play with motion controls off? Or is it worth keeping it on? Is it better for aiming after some practice? I want to get better. I feel I suck. Lol.

Definitely better with gyro, just keep practicing. Play single player mode in the full game and you'll adjust in no time.

 

[Moondrop]

I just made an insane splat:

I was flying with inkjet and in trouble. I instinctively held ZL and dove under the ink!?! Enemy converges on my flashing beacon. At last second I burst out of ink and splat him on way up.

I love this series so much.

 

[Saint Gregory]

I managed to get back to my hotel in time to catch the last 16 minutes. Online was flawless on the hotel wifi but matchmaking seemed spotty.

The dualies felt so good and I love the jet pack

 

[pringles]

I hope they just keep it going. I don't want to stop playing!

 

[gossi]

Played one game, won. I had no idea AT ALL what I was doing.

 

[phanphare]

Had the opposite feeling playing the game. I found them even better than on Wii U

I can't play until tonight so I hope you're right

 

[Hattori]

I feel like I'm better on Switch than I ever was on Wii U...weird

 

[Tunoku]

2-13, not even mad

I was 2-1 with the Splattershot tho!

 

[giancarlo123x]

I'm still in searching for another game with players.

 

[Jashobeam]

got into a match fairly quickly, much better experience than the test fire on wii u, that took forever to get into a match.

 

[Rvaisse]

I think the gyro was better in the Wii U

seems like everything Switch is back to six axis

i find the switch controls much more reactive and accurate ! maybe it's because i play with split joycons and it's much easier to move only one hand than both stuck on the controller.

 

[sonto340]

Still playing 😎

 

[ngower]

Was top two in every game I played, and my team won probably 80% of our games. Good shit. Lots of people who weren't playing at all, which was weird.

To those saying you need to get used to controls, try non-motion. I can't stand the motion controls.

 

[Rubixcuba]

why do they call this splatoon 2 ?

I know right, its just Splatoon 1 HD Remix Edition.

 

[Spukc]

Because it's a sequel to the first game.

like mario kart 8 on the switch ? that game got a battlemode right now !

I know right, its just Splatoon 1 HD Remix Edition.

and that is stretching it

also nintendo must be high as f expecting me to pay for this online service

 

[Chittagong]

Ha just got into another game, here we go!
