So so pleased Splatoon won.Fully deserved,in my opinion for what its worth.
Totally deserved it. Hope it'll bring more crowd to see just how great and fun the game is.
Please explain..
I literally laughed and turn the awards off when this was announced.
Innovative gameplay, solid design, high skill cap, constant stream of updates, a surprisingly good single player campaign, and overall, just a blast to play... when your teammates aren't driving you to drink heavily.
The brilliance of ink as a mechanic can't be overstated. There's so many things to consider when you're shooting, whether it be shooting to kill, shooting to block a path, shooting for points, shooting for map control, shooting for your own mobility, shooting to make squid paths for your team, shooting to climb up a vantage point, shooting to recover health... There's so much weight behind just hitting that button and shooting ink.
Also stealth, if you move slowly enough/ use ninja squid, and accelerated health regen.
My cousin walked into the room as I was playing it over Thanksgiving break and said "I heard this game was really stupid. Why is it so colorful? Have you even played call of duty before?" laughed and walked out.
Late reply but I prefer highly skilled competitive shooters. Not saying Splatoon is not as I don't know for sure, but from the outside it doesn't seem to be that way. Also maybe because it is just different and unique. Which I suppose is a good thing these days.

Probably late, but whatever.
Oh shit... I completely forgot about this show. The Weekenders?
I've never understood this gif. People have different opinions on things, news at 11.
best show ever.
And it's not some lame kid show. Man, it's got real themes, partial nudity and blood

Megas XLR was cool too
Only watched a few episodes (maybe 3-4) of that back in the day. I was meh on it.
So Why is 3/4 of my avatar the MC from the show?
dunno.

i also don't care about Poe or Goodell for good measure.
Nothing is really overpowered, there are optimal weapons for

Completely deserved wins. The naysayers must be judging on the unusual cartoon visuals alone and dismissing all it has to offer.
Not really, I play online and coop what I would call shooters, games where recoil control, accuracy, selecting gun attachments, quick to aim, dealing with flinch and doing the good stuff like strafing, jump shooting and what i would call GUN PLAY is the order of the day.
Games in this category are very popular, the COD, Halo, Destiny, BF etc.
I am sure Splatoon is a good multiplayer game but I would not put it in a 'shooter genre' by any stretch of the imagination....
and I dont see the COD, Destiny or Halo crowd taking any notice of a few critics in a room who probably are not really into 'shooters' and taking any note, at all.
It's a third person shooter, it's plain as day.
Wow I am convinced, time to move from Bo3 and destiny etc, gunplay sounds great.

So now it's not even a shooter?Not really, I play online and coop what I would call shooters, games where recoil control, accuracy, selecting gun attachments, quick to aim, dealing with flinch and doing the good stuff like strafing, jump shooting and what i would call GUN PLAY is the order of the day. Accuracy, recoil control, feathering teh gun, quick scoping snipers....I just dont see it at all in Splatoon...

I am not saying its a good game, but it is not what I would refer to as a shooter = great gun play.
Dude, what?

ha ok, i'll stop the weekenders gif.
I like my avatar, I just don't care about the people in it.
Speaking of Splatoon, I got back into it again after that last direct for a bit. Cool that it won, but I'm surprised one of the big names didn't take it.
Please more weekenders gifs please
Best part of the Splatoon experience is how short each match is. I can just turn on the Wii U and play a handful of games in just 15 mins and then go about my day. Even if a game is going bad I know itll be over soon.
Thats one thing I miss sorely when Im playig Halo for example. On average matches are like 8-15 minutes long. I have to really invest in it whereas Splatoon is more pick up and play.

lol, this is like the 3D Mario argument
the game might not jive with you for the reasons you mentioned, and that's cool, but it's a third person shooter. that's not really debatable.
Take it from a guy who's probably spend months of his live playing CS 1.6, the only thing that are truly lacking in Splatoon are Spectator mode, more community features(like Tournament Mode, Party VC, Leaderboards, more social features, more streaming features).
- Recoild control is present,
- Strifing is present, usually users with weapons that allow greater mobility use it and are notoriously difficult to hit.
- Accuracy is unparalleled for a console shooter without k+m controls
- Aiming is precise for chargers(snipers) hence the earlier gifs I showed of some charger play. While other weapons require varying degree of aiming.
- Gyro is miles better at fast/twitch like aiming - compared to regular control methods on consoles
- Jump shooting is prevalent, it's very important for rollers, chargers(snipers) & blasters, while other classes don't utilize it as much because it places them at a disadvantage.
I'd recommend you checkout some videos of Yugo1 or Dude playing before making such statements.
Destiny is a utter cluster-fuck and the upgrades and customization are merely tools of addiction which don't even have the common decency to disguise themselves.I'm not even a fan of Destiny, but I feel like that should've won with how upgrades and customization go into the game.
Guess I'm wrong
Best multiplayer I can see, but I'm impressed it won best shooter as well. It does make me happy to see Splatoon succeed considering how niche I thought it looked at its announcement, and what system it was on.
