Forums - Nintendo - Splatoon is a very serious contender for my game of generation so far

As I have said the painting part of Splatoon is hardly what makes it good, I think, so all those weapons that rely on painting the map feel more like a chore to me. And I agree that the real good thing about Splatoon is the switch between an Inkling and a squid. But that's why I suggested to try Transformers (War for Cybertron or Fall of Cybertron) which are one of the most underrated games from last-gen. It has the same mechanic of changing between forms (robot to vehicle in this case). Y'all shoud try them on Steam once they're on sale.


Painting is what makes Splatoon good because it's the anchor of the mechanics in the game on top of turning the game into a territorial base game, half the strategy is utilizing your squid form well and that only happens if a player marks key positions like walls and vantage points, ink refills your weapons which can only happen in squid form, spreading ink charges your special weapon which can turn the tide in seconds, it's far more then switching forms.

Try playing the ranked battles at a high level.

So where's the Codename Steam hype?

I don't know what that game is really nor if it was developed or published by nintendo but looking at its sales it's pretty clear the game had no advertisement or was plain bad, nintendo fans are passionate but not stupid either lol

Also your comment above, no one is saying splatoon can not be goty for many... but this thread says gotg when the gen is just starting for X1 and PS4



To make it very easy and clear.
Splatoon wont win those award for sure, because several reasons:
1. Its on Wii U, a console MANY gamers dont even take seriours (kiddy console). A console that doesnt have all the big marketing third party titles. A console with weak hardware.
2. Its colourfull and rated m

The game is easy the best game i played in the past 5 years, but greatness alone doesnt make a game win awards.

 

 

If Nintendo would release the game on pc GOTG would be posible very very easy. But the game might sell 3-4million lifetime on Wii U. Thats not enough to be GOTG, scince 98% of all gamers will never play it.

I haven't played it, so keep my legitimacy in check, but the story mode looks decent at best and the online is lacking in a lot of crucial content that compromise the games longevity. I mean, isn't there only 1 game mode and like 3 weapons? And isn't the level cap like 20? Game of the Gen should be a game that has legs throughout the gen and is one that, no matter how deep we get into the gen, people still go back and play it. I can't see Splatoon being played in 2 years. Even if they update it with additional content I really see this as a temporary Wii U game.


Level Cap: 50

Game Modes: 3 +1 already announced

Weapons: wow MANY. Easy 20+ unique weapons

 

 

 

Maybe you cant see  Splatoon beeing played in 2 years because you have absolutly no clue about the game?

For me Rocket League is a very serious contender for game of generation for now.

Simply put, this game offers such a different experience and fun that I can't compared to any other game.

So fresh, unique, very fun and addictive game.

 

What do you say Rocket League players, do you have similar thoughts?


so defensive just because somebody is saying splatoon is better than rocket league. lol. 

lets be honest here though.. rocket league doesnt compare to splatoon. so stop. its offensive to even try to pretend that they are on the same level.

the level cap is indeed 20. where are you getting 50 from?



Let me make sure I have this right:

Thread was created to ask opinions on if Splatoon is GotG.

Thread creator and other Splatoon lovers shit all over any differing opinion with the oh so cliche "you must not have played it because you don't think the same way I do" logic.

Thread creator complains that people discuss other games during their opinions on why Splatoon isn't the GotG.

This should be fun.

Saying Splatoon is the GOTG also can be a offense when we have things like Bloodborne, there are not in the same level as well.
(And vivster was actually calling Rocket League to be big even before it launched and got popular, he is not pretending, is his opinion).


Yeah, Splatoon is way ahead of bloodborne. You dont agree? Give me ur Wii U ID please. I can give you my PSN Name, no problem ;)

I have both system. I played both. If you dont, you cant even compare both games.
