I am just giving an example. I have no intention of buying Blops3


Ah, well I intend on getting both and never thought for a second that one game invalidates the purchase of the other in the slightest, naturally as I don't buy games for modes but for gameplay, and both games have great gameplay that's very different from each other. Splatoon may not have as many maps weapons or modes, but it's amount is enough thanks to it's core gameplay not only offering a unique and surprisingly deep n varied experience, but also how it makes every battIe exciting yet different from the last even when playing with the same map weapon and mode. I can easily see myself spending 100+ hours on Turf War alone.

Yea thats true and your way is quite a nice way of looking at things. But I guess we do evaluate our purchases differently like I look at stuff like the modes and the length of the single player and etc while you look at how many hours can u get from the game overall regardless of them. Like while I can excuse a lack of modes and stuff, there is a cutting off point for me for the price that I am paying. If Splatoon was $40/$50 cad, it would have been an instant buy but since it isn't and it had quite amount of urks for me, it wasn't a very good deal and I wasn't really all that confident in the length of the single player either.

And while I do understand the whole "online = tons of hours of play," that can be said for all games with online and its not like I dont have fun with cod or anything cause I do. But excusing splatoon while other shooters such as cod (as an example) offers me so much more (before this) just urks me cause of how I buy stuff if that makes any sense. I might have more fun with splatoon, sure but is that "bit more fun" worth the $70 price tag with my prior knowledge about the game with less of virtually everything in all fronts compared to say cod at launch other than the game being very unique? Not really for me (until this news). Which is why I cancelled my pre-order which now I shall uncancel because my confidence in the game has been restored.



So basically it's all about the number of modes to ya then, yet I know you bought MK8 since I've seen you playing it.
