1. There are many fast paced games were voice chat works well. Call of Duty and Battlefield are prime examples.

2. Voice chat can be implemented to be mute off by default, that way when you play with friends, you can turn it on. This way you don't have to worry about different languages/profanity

3. It's up to the people to decide whether voice chat is detrimental or helpful. After they decide, they can toggle the mute button on or off.

4. Once again, it is up to the player to decide whether or not they will find voice chat helpful or not. This is the beauty of options. Likewise, maybe people just want to talk with their friends in a game.

1. Compared to Splatoon and it's small maps greatly accentuating the changing situations, these are slow as sloths

2. If muted by default, why doing the hassle of implementing it at all in the first place?

3. Nice way to glossing over and totally ignoring the reason the voice chat would be detrimental (you can hear ennemies outside of your field of view, which would get rendered impossible with voice chat)

4. If I want to talk with my friends about a game, I boot up my PC and start Teamspeak - which also ensures no one outside is eavedropping things they are not supposed to hear. Which also has the advantage that not everyone needs to be connected to the game

There's also another reason I did not mention, one actually pretty obvious but no one ever tells: No Headset support for Wii U. Which would mean you'd have to bring the gamepad close to your mouth to speak into it's microphone, disrupting gameplay and screwing up motion controls

1. cod and battlefield have larger maps, but they also have a lot more people on each map. Add in the fast vehicles, killstreaks, and parkour in those games, calling the slow is a huge statement.

2. It's muted by default for convenience, but the option to unmute it is there for anyone who wants to use it. And there are definitely people who want to use it.

3. If it really is detrimental, then people would decide to keep voice chat off. However, for those that actually think the pros outweigh the cons, they can toggle voice chat on.

4. So in order to communicate with friends you need to start up a third party pc program and have your friends do the same? Don't you think that's very unfriendly to the user? Given that splatoon costs $60 you would think that Nintendo would make the game user friendly with something like voice chat. Especially since other shooters do this.

I have communicated with friends via the gamepad using the video facetime feature on the wii u. Voice transfer is fine. I did not have to move the gamepad closer one bit. Likewise, there's already voice chat in black ops 2 for wii u, Nintendo could have set up something similar for splatoon

You're still not being fair. Because you hate voice chatting, other people have to lose out. Is everyone in this world gonna be screaming curse words, no. I could just use skype and give you a disadvantage. And you'd never know. I've done that before.

I stream splatoon with 2 other people. We all have an advantage to who we're facing. Because I can warn people to not squid jump to me. Or tell someone were a camper is located. Or ask someone to get a loadout with a point marker. Or certain guns. Or push into the main area with the other 2. On many times I've returned to the base platform. Because my firned altered me one person snuck down a side area.

My problem is that you are not looking at it from the other perspective. Because neither are you being fair. Because you like voice chatting I have to either listen to people while I play or suffer a gameplay disadvantage. As for using skype, can't do that in ranked.

If you're listening to them. You know they are helping out. Because if they aren't, they're muted. What is the problem again? I don't play ranked mode, ever. And you're not looking at it from my perspective.

The point was voice chat is good for people who want it and bad for people who don't. As simple as that. Nothing more nothing less.

And guess what. You get that. With the option to have it in the game. You're just like the people who bitch at TV shows that are in 4:3. And demand that they get cropped. You piss off the people who want to retain the orginal framing. For no reason. When your TV and or player have the abilty to crop the show to 16:9. You have the option to mute people. In no way does the option of voice chat interfer with you. But not having interfers with me. And I have to go out of my way to use my PC to bypass this. While every other console and PC, I don't have to deal with this.

"We all have an advantage to who we're facing"

"In no way does the option of voice chat interfer with you"

I think this is a logical flaw. You cannot have an advantage without disadvantaging someone. And you cannot be both disadvantaged and uneffected by something.

75% of the people I played with were from Japan, anyway. They wouldn't be interested in hearing about my penis.




..... Would they?

Having no voice chat when playing with Japanese gamers is a missed opportunity of having fun yelling:

パールハーバー許さない !



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Logical flaw? You, yourself is choosing to avoid voice chat. Because you can't simply try and block who is useless towards the chat or not. That is not my problem. I can do it. And move on from this. And work with people who actually help out. You're complaing about a game that has a 4 person team. A lot easier to do the filtering, than say COD. I don't see voice chat as an advantage. You do. I want it. So I can do things easier/faster. Instead of being limited to booya. I'd take text chat, if that was pratical on a console.

That's a silly reason to stop playing Splatoon imo.
