| Chubomik said: Ended as soon as it began. Managed to get the full hour in, but it isn't enough. I need this game now. Just pre-ordered it earlier today from anticipation. It is downright addicting. The focus on covering the most ground over getting kills feels so good. My big brother actually didn't get it at first. "Why are you just spraying all over the place? Kill the other team!" Classic :) I've personally gotten a lot of mileage out of the Splatshooter Jr. I liked it's power-up, the temporary invulnerability shield. It helps when clearing out overwhelming enemies in one area. The difference between Jr. and the regular version seems to be shorter range for more accuracy/ rate of fire. I've never had that preferance before, short and speedy over mid. Goes to show what different kind of beast the game is going to be. I don't know what a lot of people are saying about the rollers. I believe that they aren't all that overpowered. Against longer range and no back-up, the rollers are vapor-ware by the time I get my hands on them. Yeah, the surprise buttsex can get a bit annoying, it being a one-hit-kill and all, you just have to keep your distance and take advantage of your squid form. Utilizing unique power-ups for certain situations are also key. Just pump that modern Da'Vinci full o' mastic composition! Keeping an eye on the map and tracking where to focus paint on is so fresh. Make sure to use those, "Come on!" commands to (hopefully) convince your team mates to follow you and focus on an area to spray on. A pretty reliable substitute for voice chat. My teammates usually got it when I used it and charged toward an enemy heavy area. Strategy! Overall, I can't wait for what else this game's got in store. I love the look, I love how the game plays, I love the teamwork. Should have chosen faster shipping. Not getting to me till the 8th of next month :(. I hope I can change it. It was web-in store at Gamestop for those Smash costumes. I look forward to playing it again in a few hours, if my brain is willing enough to endure till then. 7:00-8:00 here in the East. 3:00 currently. |
man, i'm jealous you figured out more of the game than i did! didn't know there were "cmon" commands, and i didn't know the weapons had specials. i used the roller exclusively. It destroyed noobs, but when it came to facing more stratigic players who knew to use the high ground and distance things got tough. You had to change your strategy up and try to lure them into the open by splatting areas they couldn't reach, then try to sneak up behind them. For being a giant weapon you seem to have to be stealthy with it. I love the irony with that! I actually canceled my pre-order after the news of no voice chat, re-preordered it today cause i had such a good time!
