The bolded does not negate Splatoon being 60 dollars in NA.

That's not my problem.


It's the guy you quoted's problem which you were trying to say isn't a problem because it's not actually at that price even though it is.

How can it be his problem? He has no Wii U.

The idea to support the game post launch is good, but the fact that this launches with 5 maps and basically only TDM as an online mode (I think, I watched the direct on friday but forgot that part) is ridculously low for a game that's supposed to focus on online, it's like you can buy this as a $60 game now but it really won't be a $60 game until August.

Will be interesting to see how reviewers react to this.

Don't comment on games you know nothing about.

Again, the game is €30-40.

Kinda aggressive aren't ya? So it's Turf War, doesn't change that it's one game mode that's unlocked from the start, which is ridiculously low for the $60 that it is sold for in the US, but I guess you have to jump to defend Nintendo here, even going as far as to draw completely pointless comparisons to The Order.

His profile says he's from Germany.

That's not my problem.

Anyway, with 4 multiplayer modes, 15 multiplayer maps and a singleplayer campaign it's worth the $60. The Order costs €70 here...

Not my problem.

You can just buy it later, games don't have to be bought at launch. This is good for those of us that are content with the initial content, as really the gameplay alone is inherently dynamic n addictive much like Mario Kart n Smash to generate hours n hours of fun.

I rather have a more complete game on my disc than on DLC, there is a reason why I don't buy digital only games, so if almost half the game is DLC (even free one), is best if I pass on it.


Splatoon should not be bought without online access, so I don't see how that's a problem or even changes anything really.

Not mine either. Wouldn't download it even if it was free on PS+.

Like I said, the game is worth $60. The dlc is free.

There is no TDM, Turf War is about covering the map the most with your team color. Ranked Battles n Splatzone shoud be unlocked within the first week, and there's the singleplayer campaign and the 1v1 local multiplayer, so already more gameplay variety than MK8.

Yeah my mistake. But MK8 is a racing game, those live of their tracks of which MK8 has a lot. I stand by what I said, in August the game's full price (at least in NA) will be justified, at the end of May it won't be. I'm not even going to touch on the Amiibo exclusive missions.

I don't have a hard drive and I don't plan to buy one, limited space to add DLC or updates on the Wii U memory, if this game is mostly DLC (only 5 maps on disc and 9 more as DLC?), I will not buy as simple as that. They could wait 1 more month, add more content to the disc and still support the game with some less DLC afterwards. Not worth the money they are asking for, I will re-evaluate if the campaign receives good reviews.

Even ignoring the other content I brought up for some reason, you can't just ignore the fact that the game will frequently recieve new content that, because it's free, can be considered part of the main package.
