It's not ideal, preferably a little more content should have been added day one, but it's not a deal breaker. If I have to start paying for shit, I'm going to lose it.

Earlier I was thinking Splatoon is kind of the opposite of certain AAA games these days. Seems people complain about some games launching in an incomplete state functionally, with all of the content finished at release yet some held back for paid DLC later. Splatoon is launching in a fully functional state with half of its content incomplete and being added later for free. Kinda funny to me.

Anyway Nintendo can do whatever they want, but I won't buy the game until I think it's worth the asking price, and to me it isn't at launch. At least the game is shaping up to be pretty solid though, impressions of the netcode seem positive and they're still ironing it out.

Fine, lets set aside the amibo conversation and asume your right. Lets agree on your point that it would review better had it been delayed with all the content. Lets also say that no voicechat will affect the game negatively. Lets even say you where actually inform on this game and not just here bitching cuz is nintendo.

Whats you point then? Do you still think this is a good looking game? Should we just ignore this game because its not releasing "complete"? Should we wait a couple of months to buy this game? Or are you just here complaining cuz is not coming out for your xbox?

You do realise that I brought up the Amiibo thing because you kept screaming that the DLC is free right? Oh and if you think there aren't people out there that are complaining about the Amiibo DLC practices then you must really not have been paying attention at all, just because the majority of the Nintendo fanbase is doing its usual thing of giving Nintendo a free pass on everything doesn't mean that people aren't catching up on it. But hey my opinion is worthless because I don't own a Wii U, because you only need Nintendo fans to confirm your bias not other people to give a new point of view, surely there's no reason to think that post launch content that may very well break the balance of the game or just plain suck being sold to you at launch is a not so great thing.

That is not my point and since when am I an Xbox guy? If you don't know anything about me, don't make assumptions like that.

The point is that I was critcising what I feel is a shitty practice, but apparently doing that is a huge freaking deal around here. I have said above that the post launch content may well turn out poorly and in that case make the whole game worse (cause in terms of maps over 50% of the content is post launch and one broken weapon can break a whole multiplayer). That is the point, that this content is being sold to people on faith alone and that even after it's all out it's going to be unnecessarily difficult to find out what the actual complete package is going to be like in quality, because new reviews will at that point be scarce.

Anyone can choose to buy this game, that's everyone's right but at the same time it is my right to critcise things I find worth criticising without having people throw a complete hissy fit.

Nintendo need one thing: Promote Splatoon + free game, just like they did year ago with Mario Kart 8. This step can reduce the disappointment.

most fps have 5 or 6 good maps that are played all the time, because they are realy well designed(the maps you play competitive)
everybody who plays FPS knows DE_dust2 and CTF-face.

I think the idea is generally ok, but not on my Wii U where memory space gets really tight.

Maps seems to be whats itchiing you the most aparently. When has maps matter that much? In most FPS people play the same 3-5 maps of any game cuz they are recicled each time. You can barely tell the diference in them. SOmething we know its not the case with the ones that where shown to us. And since this game is also a platformer, where nintendo does shine, Im pretty sure the single player campaing will be more than enough to keep people ocupied while they wait for the other maps.

If game modes also bother you, then I cant tell you anything else that hasent been said before, its not that long of a wait for the other modes to show up.

Previous games like the order have gotten well deserve critisisim for being to short and not having the multyplayer, evolve for lack of content and microtransactain, destiny for just plain borring and repetetive and very sad porly made expansions, also remember the raids wich where lso locked for a couple of weeks untill enough players got to the right level? so this content over time is not news.. This game, unlike the rest has shown us whats to come, what we are getting from the start, no pay walls and you have fixeated on that one aspect that MIGHT be bad. I dont see it like this and others seem to be on the same page. But for me, this seems like a way for them to test the waters, they havent done a competetive shooter multyplayer before and the console might not have the fanbase for a first week 80% of sales like this genre tends to get. So it seems logical that they milk the launch with every week something new to keep players happy, word of mouth to spread and slowly build a player count to keep the game alive online.

You do have the right to critic anything you want, but when it seems so obvious that your only here to bash on the game, only looking at the one aspect of a game that might be bad and ignoring all the good, with no aparent knowledge of the game, and no interest in ever owning this game or the console, people just know that your only here to troll. So dont get so shock at others response.

At least for the Splatoon + the 3 amibo bundle wich I think is like $80, that seems worthy of reciving a download code for an old IP like pikmin or wonderfull 101.
