Has the hype for splatoon died down a little? there's been very little talk of it the past month or so.


I guess some of us are just waiting for new info and for May to roll on closer before more threads are made for it. : )


I appreciate the other replies above btw! 

 

I just ask because they released new info a while back and people weren't too happy. It sort of killed the hype which was really high at the time.  I could be totally wrong though.

What weren`t people happy about? I didn`t hear much negativity about it.

If you got the list I could remember.  Off the top of my head it was something to do with lack of online features like voice chat among others.

Oh right, those. Yeah, those were legit issues. Hmm, that may have brough up concern for the game, but I guess we`ll see how people are towards the game closer to release.

And another thing.  The hype for Xenoblade seems to have taken over it.  Are those games releasing close to eachother?

Well describing it as a shooter with colours almost immediately distinguishes it from every other shooter out there that people get repeatedly excited about. So unless we consider colours inherently bad, this is a compliment, right?


But it is my dear sir! Don't you know that, all games must be grey/brown & bloody red, with brain matter & bowels flying all over the screen otherwise your "gamer" ballzzz fall to the ground & you're a kiddie uncool not real gamer, haven't you heard the herd??? /s

On the topic, people who have been following Splatoon know that it is more than a shooter, killing the ennemies is one of the tactics to achieve the goal of the game: territory dominance.

technically every shooter game is a ''shooter with colors'' as they use color palettes :D

I'm glad you brought this up. I found myself interested in Splatoon even though I REALLY hate shooters. So I've spent the past few months wondering if Splatoon was different enough to be to my liking. It may be. I'll try it out first, as I have a friend who is certainly buying it. And yes, I do like me my colors.

It's a shooter that looks too young for the taste of many, myself included. However, given Nintendo aficionados love for all things colorful, the game seems  right up their alley. It's niche but I think it will find good success.


"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms.   When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -C.S. Lewis
