This layout I
have does not work with the length of this review but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (tell me
if I should switch to the default layout for easier viewing)

Anyways, I’ve been playing this game for awhile (about 500+
hours and S+ nyau), and if you guys were wondering where I was, it was mostly
playing the game itself (vacation and school too, but irrelevant). With my
massive amount of experience with the game, I’m hoping that you guys can buy it
and enjoy it too! The game is fairly popular, but deserves more attention than
it should, as a lot of competitive NA people are on hiatus/left it now. Moving
on, let’s start!

Story – 4

The story, or Octo Valley, is relatively simple, it’s nothing
groundbreaking I feel. You, the new “Agent 3” have been recruited to save
Inkopolis from impeding destruction from the Octolings, as the Great Zapfish,
Inkopolis’ main power source has been stolen.
There are some spoiler-ish parts that are in this story if
you deeply and fondly care for it. The main purpose of it is to teach the
mechanics of the game, and with a cute story; points for effort though.

Visuals/Graphics – 9

The graphics are very smooth and the game itself is very
colorful. They try to make the colors blend in well with each other, as the
color matchups are very easy to see except for some parts (Transformers v
Decepticons and reading Killer Wails coughcoughcough). The game has its own
style and flair that I truly and heavily love, and it’s really adorable. The
game runs in at a solid 60, with the exceptions for the Plaza (iirc) and Battle
Dojo. During Splatfests, the maps are all in nighttime, in which ink glows and
looks amazing.


Sound – 8

The sounds itself sounds very nice, especially in the ink. All
the guns sounds crisp. There’s a certain depth to the sounds itself, in which
that the devs also handmade some of these sounds themselves, which is pretty
neat. Certain sounds (full charge shot hit + blaster direct hit) are also very
satisfying when you do it yourself, like you’ve accomplished something, haha.
The music is also appealing, as it does give the game more personality, as most
shooters don’t even have background music to begin with. The game has
approximately 8-10 tracks to cycle though, but it’s hardly noticeable what
music you’re hearing since you’re mostly concentrating on what you’re doing. It
can get old sometimes though, especially during splatfests; as there are only 2
exclusive tracks that are available during that time (Ink me Up and then Now or
Never!). This can be very repetitious as you usually play about 2-5 hours of
Splatoon to get to Eternal/King/Queen rank, so I wish for there to be more
variety. Eventually in a future update (Since 2.3 didn’t include anything) I
wish for more music down the line, but I haven’t gotten old of 2.0 music
anyways. 

Gameplay – 9

Okay here’s something that makes me just everything, this
game is just too fun. Everything’s very balanced, despite what everyone says.
The main thing that distinguishes this games from others is the fact that you
can become a squid and hide in your ink! This makes the main part of the
gameplay, inking, very viable to you and your teammates, as they weaken your
enemy and can even the smallest puddle of ink can save your life sometimes.
There are currently four modes in this game, which are: Turf War, Splat Zones,
Tower Control, and Rainmaker, which I will go in depth. There is also the
story, and there’s Battle Dojo, the local multiplayer (kinda fun) mode.

Turf War, or for short, TW, is the main advertised mode of
Splatoon. The main objective you ask? Just
shoot the floor. No questions, just do it, and you’re already playing! This
is a fun mode to play with a simple concept to grasp. There’s no real penalty
for losing too, all the points gained from there will be given as gold. My only
few qualms with this mode is that the last 15 seconds, you can easily win the
game. I guess that’s pretty enraging for those who are into it. I used to enjoy
this mode until I slowly got more into competitive. Now, I kinda dislike the
mode, and now I only play it for Splatfests and to test my connection for
disconnecting.

Splat Zones, or SZ, was the second mode released on Splatoon
(and first ranked mode) when enough people reached level 10. The main objective
here is to capture the zone, or zones on some maps for a certain period of
time. In order to capture the zone, you have to ink it until it’s captured.
This mode can take awhile, and can be the longest during overtime depending on
how much is left on the enemy team’s timer+penalty. In my opinion, this isn’t
my most favorite mode out of the three, but it is the most competitive out of
the three.

Tower Control, or TC, was the third mode released, and the
last mode before the 2.0 update hit. The objective is to ride the tower in the
center of the map and ride it into an area close to the enemy’s spawn. Many
weapons can flourish here, blasters, rollers, and most shooter weapons can be
used in unique ways. It can be a very contested mode, and the most enjoyable
out of the three.

Rainmaker, or RM, was the final mode released for the Ranked
rotation (until there are new modes announced/datamined). The objective is to
grab the rainmaker in the center, and carry it to victory. Being the carrier is
difficult, as you have a penalty on swim speed and run speed, but it can easily
be fixed with run speed and swim speed abilities on your clothing. This mode is
fun, but difficult, as one small mistake could ruin the whole thing. I feel
like this is a fairly enjoyable mode with squads, as it tests your teamwork,
situational awareness, and map awareness.

Battle Dojo, the local multiplayer mode is where you and a
friend can play Splatoon in the same room. One person has a classic controller,
pro controller, or classic pro and plays on the TV screen and the other player
has the gamepad, and views the screen in the gamepad. You are locked into a
limited selection of weapons that doesn’t change at all. The maps you play on
are the original maps that came with the game, and without any new ones. The
main objective here is to get 30 points by popping balloons before your
opponent can. You can give them a penalty by splatting them, which makes them
lose points. Around the maps are boxes with power up cans (or whatever they’re
called), that have specials, (excluding killer wail and kraken iirc) or can
make you super jump to switch places, or just some sub weapons, such as the
sprinkler. This mode is fairly fun with friends despite its limitations.
Overall, the game is fairly fun, even though it has some
annoyances that I may or may not have covered well.

Depth – 7

“It’s just a shooter! What kind of shooters have depth in
them?” Although Splatoon may be a shooter and does not give the best first
impression, it gives a great amount of depth Each weapon has their own
strengths and weaknesses, and each loadout makes everything different. Specials
and subweapons are a big part of the game and help you gain the advantage over
enemy. Even the clothing you wear along the brands you have help further your
cause with unique abilities. The amount of balance within the game is great, as
proven through the 2.2 update. (various buffs and nerfs)

Difficulty – 8

This game is surprisingly difficult once you have the
ambition to go higher and strive to be better at the game. The skill level for
this game is high, and I consider myself a mediocre player. All the techniques
and such will be difficult, as well learning more and more about your weapon as
you go through the ranks. You may even consider reaching out to weapons not
about your comfort zone, as it will help you gain a better understanding of
what your opponents are using. S and S+ squads are the real test, as they
usually *coughs* usually are a test of teamwork and coordination with your
friends or team.

Addictiveness – 6

The reason I give this is that, it can burn you out
sometimes. Several hours of the same mode, and constant frustration can just
turn you away from the game from several hours. If the concept gets you, and
you love the system, then you’ll have a lot of fun meeting new people and
playing tournaments and splatfests.

Overall

The game is fairly fun and I enjoy it a lot, this game isn’t
for everyone of course, but I consider it a must have for every Wii U owner.
The amount of enjoyment you can get out of this is astounding! The constant
stream of updates and support is amazing, and I love playing with friends. It’s
one of the games that I’ve played for a while, and I surely hope that you guys
pick it up also! (any review criticism is welcome ww)

Japan has enforced a new law which will start tomorrow. They'll be taking down a handful illegal anime and manga sites. We'll be required to pay for these services on platforms such as Crunchyroll and Funimation, in which that we don't have the income or credit/debit card to pay for it. This will greatly decrease the amount of anime fans in the world. How will you handle the situation?

I was so hesitant on what to say, sorry for being a day late. D:

Just subbed, my YT name is Takaneko.

Proof

maguc : I do love you a lot. You're such a kind, awesome, and lovable guy. We get along so well too and have great conversations. You're like a brother I've always wanted, but never had. <3

The beginning is kinda weird, but it's a great review. Though sound and depth can go a little more explanation. Does it have any extras to go for? How does the music sound? I haven't played the game yet, so I'm not sure, and maybe others don't know these elements.

TheReaper7290 : Can we try an A. 

maguc : Let's try an R. (Death to the hangman)

I don't, and I don't think I have been since I came here. I usually close the window, and then I'm done. I don't use public or other people's computers that often, but I still close the window on there too. (Really stupid I know)

Mega Sableye confirmed for AS/OR. Seems like his defense is perked up a lot, judging from looks.

The game itself seems amazing, I'm in total awe and love with this remake!

Trailer for Sableye

Not in Mario Kart 8, especially in split screen. They actually try to cover the screen. I can't really see except for the corners, you can't really see what's ahead. Though if you do have the gamepad as a map, it won't work as well. Other games are failed attempts.

maguc : Let's see if there's any S.

maguc : I know it now, but I'm not gonna say it. I'll go with an x.

maguc : Is there an O in there? I can feel it. I FEEL EET

I signed up for Paper Mario. I haven't heard of it, and it looked so great. So the best course of action was looking for emulators. Lo and behold Vizzed stood triumphantly in Google. I signed up and downloaded the plugin (I thought this was 13 plus, so I lied about my age; immediately asked for it changed), and played the games to my hearts content. I guess I'm still here now and not very memorable to say the least.

Destifen : Some obvious Ts that I see.

patar4097 : In the name of Goomy and his love I give it a 10/10 (Dratini's still better )

supernerd117 : Can I get an I?

I loved reading this even though the layout made it hard to read since the posting area is so tiny and the font is a little large. Then again, my layout's posting area is small also. You went in a super good amount of depth into each category and without a single amount of repetition. It has every good aspect of what a good review.

Keep making more reviews, they're great

All Pokemon can, one way or another. Even though this Pokemon is notorious for being weak, it can still do something. There's much weaker Pokemon out there with bigger movepools.
