Wow...I was going to not comment on this thread anymore because I figure the whole point of it is to be the be all end all of Splatoon 2 "worthy-ness" discussion...... ya know like other people just put in their input and then leave the thread and then that's it ... but some of this just really hits a nerve
| jason1637 said: Definitely not. New horde mode New weapons and Subs Tons of new clothing New maps New single player experience That's as much a sequel as you can get. |
Not really. You can list anything in a big list and make it sound like a big improvement. That's about as much of a sequel as COD is. Cooking Mama 2 : New recipes, New "Mama's", New Graphics, New campaign ... like what lol.
| Cerebralbore101 said: I don't really think the sequel is mediocre at all. It's about the same level of innovation that comes with each new iteration of Mario Kart, and Smash Bros. |
Wroooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnng. At least about Smash Brothers. At least Mario Kart doesn't come out every 2 years though. Besides, some of the Mario Kart gimmicks implemented in some of the sequels change things a LOT. I don't think the same could be said for Splatoon 2
| Nautilus said: Not every entry in a said franchise needs to reinvent the wheel to be worthy of the sequel label.While I do believe that Splatoon 2 was a victim of the need of a good first year software output, from what reviewers said and players said, it seems like a clear improvement over basically everything that the first one did. For the point we are in time, both due to the failure of the Wii U and given the diversity of the other titles in the Switch, Splatoon 2 is more than fine as a sequel. |
And no one said it needed to be...
If Splatoon 2 is a victim of first year lineup, then I don't know how you could say it's "more than fine". The best I could say about a sequel that was clearly rushed for a lineup is ... "it's fine". Besides, Splatoon 2's base game plays a lot like Splatoon after all it's updates, just with a bit of extra content. You kind of implied you hadn't played Splatoon 2 (or possibly 1 too) though so idk.
