BardicKnowledge Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Who's getting it on Friday? It looks really fun....but I desperately wish it were for PC instead of Wii U. I really enjoyed the test session Nintendo held a few days ago, AND it's an FPS that I can play with Owen around, so it has a lot going for it. I will consider it if there are a lot of people here playing. For those who haven't seen it yet, check out Game Informer's preview video here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonectric Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I wasn't interested when it was first shown off, but I'm thoroughly hyped now. Had a lot of fun with the test fire on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drop Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I had a lot of fun trying it out during that test session a few days ago, but man, did it take a long time to get connected. I'll probably pick it up on release, too, but hopefully the servers will be better equipped to handle the hype influx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I've got it and the amiibos on preorder. Love me some tiny inanimate figurines. I didn't play the Global Testfire, but my friends did and they are very hyped for it now. One of them even bought his own WiiU in anticipation.

AzureZeal Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Got it reserved for Friday. By the way, would it be alright to post our NNID on the 3DS Friend Code thread or make a separate thread for it? I don't think there's a thread dedicated to registering friends on the Wii U yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's a thread dedicated to registering friends on the Wii U yet. The Wii U thread isn't necessarily dedicated to registering friends, but there's a NNID list at the beginning: http://ocremix.org/community/topic/26159-nintendo-wii-u/ Edit: ...This game is addicting. I thought to myself "ok, this needs to be my last match" several times over a few hours. Hunger finally got me to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BardicKnowledge Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 The game is amazing -- I just started playing this morning. I absolutely love all of the different strategies I've seen thus far, and can't wait to unlock all of the guns. For those who see this instead of the main Wii U thread, I am RTBardic -- add me!

Lemonectric Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 American and European splatfests are today! Go get yourself some super sea snails! I was up against a dog team that had all four of its players and still only managed 5% of the map. It was delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I got up to Cat Champion, which is good enough for me. Whoever "Daniel" with the Roller was, you are my hero. You carried those half-dozen matches we had together and we dominated those scoundrels. Speaking of domination though, I sort of noticed matches would go strongly either way. There were very few close calls -- either we won by a mile or lost completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were very few close calls -- either we won by a mile or lost completely. Cat King! I got 18 snails even though we lost overall. Looks like dogs won by popularity, and cats barely nabbed the upper hand with 51% wins. I actually had a much easier time during splatfest than I usually do in turf wars, which was interesting. Like you said, more one-sided victories than usual. I found myself right up against the opponents' base with my whole team on multiple occasions...though that 5% example was an extreme case. I'm still laughing about that. But yeah, there were some matches where the dogs were pushing really hard, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirkibble2 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The Splatfest was pretty fun. I wanted to play more but my wife and I already had plans for the day. Only got to play nine matches and won eight of them. Felt pretty good about that. I chose Team Dog and got matched against another Team Dog a few times, which was weird. Not sure if that happened with the cat lovers. But it was fun. Just a fun, simple game altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I saw a note about that before it started, saying that if you were on one team, but another team was just not available to fight against due to low numbers of people signed on at the time, then you would fight people in your same team, and the amount of points you'd win would be modified for that match, though I can't remember to what extent. It didn't happen to me because the only time I had to get a few matches in was a generic mid-day Saturday time when you'd expect a ton of people on the servers.

Was it in game or online somewhere? But I guess that makes sense. Still doesn't seem like a good solution for those times when people vastly outvote something.

Kat Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Think I'll pick this up. It looks pretty damn fun. Edit: Ok, yeah. Best game ever. I'm officially addicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I played for a few matches last night and had a pretty fresh time, still levelling my stuff up, but I really enjoy how fast the matches go for. WHat is the consensus for best weapon combinations? I am preferring the roller/sonic blaster right now for pushing territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The Splattershot Jr actually seems pretty solid for turf wars. Nice fire rate, nice damage and the spread helps you ink more of the map. Plus, the Bubble special really helps you deal with anything. Nice to have if you get caught in a Killer Wail. I'm preferring the Inkbrush right now though. It doesn't cover as much as the roller, but I love the faster playstyle and the Sprinker grenades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_C Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 AeroSpray RG has ridiculous painting potential. I have posted losses with over 1500 points using the RG before. If you get gear that speeds up your Special charge, the Inkstrike isa great way to move the enemy around while you mark up turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Exactly two weeks after our first Splatfest, we've got our second, starting 7/18 at midnight EDT. Waterslides vs. roller coasters this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 oh wow, waterslides are the way to go. Rollercoasters are fine too, but there's a reason that amusement parks typically charge extra to get into the waterpark, and that is because they are fun and sexy.

Arrow Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 You're only saying that cause you can take your shirt off and make everyone in the waterpark, man and woman both, immediately swoon. OceansAndrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
