I want to ____ Marina!!!

Threadly reminder that there's literally nothing wrong with posting Reddit links.

Should i know anything about Splatoon 1 before i play 2?

Sex with Marie!

Callie and Marie

Sex with Marina !

...

>adding the Discord back into the OP
no

We've gone over this before. It increases tribalism and gives people the idea that there's a hierarchy, and that scares off new people.

Yeah, that DFC is the correct way of life.

""we""

wuz

get over it dipshit. discord is fine. reddit is fine.

Can you not just come to terms with the fact that some people who play the game want to talk to each other directly without spamming this general?

hope i can finish before splatfest

THE GAME HAS BEEN OUT FOR -168 HOURS AND THE BRELLA STILL HASN'T BEEN RELEASED

HURRY THE FUCK UP

Looks pretty good.

it's not available on release

thank you
it's a young woomy's butt, of course it does :3

/r/ing the octolings can only asexually reproduce image or whatever

Anyone want to take a guess on what they think Splatoon 2's metascore is going to be?
I think it'll probably end up somewhere near 86-89 with the reasoning being lack of content on release again. Not that I think that'll affect the sales in the slightest. Japan's too crazy for Splatoon for that to matter.

It'll probably be in the low or high eighties. I'd be suprised if it hit anything higher or lower than that. You never know though.

splatoon 1's was 81. this will without a doubt be higher. i'm guessing high 80s

I want to shine Pearl's pearl.

>Lack of content

But it has all of the content, right? It's got all of the Ranked modes right off the bat, another full singleplayer campaign, new maps (and remixes of old maps), fancier weapon sets, subs and specials included, and even a PvE horde mode that probably everyone expected but wanted to see the proof. Still think it'll hit high 80s, though.

88/100, too much ink

reviewers get greedier and greedier for content so despite it launching with more content than the first one I can see it scoring the same or even lower

it's certainly much more than splatoon had at launch (turf war/turf war with friends) but they'll probably whine about the unreleased weapons

Somewhere in the high eighties, but who cares? Most reviewers are either paid or have terrible taste in everything.

I don't think downloading the Japanese version of the splatoon demo was worth it. My news is eternally fucked. Oh well, at least it won't update with japanese news.

>/ink/ is so retarded they have to care about reviews

hug

This
Splatoon was a 10/10 for me, Thats all I care about.

Pretty much. Good reviews are nice for a better image, but as long as it lives up to the original, I'm fine with it.

It could be 50 and the only thing it would serve is for shitpost on /v/.

This. Reviews are fucking pointless on /v/. When a metascore is good, it matters, but when it's mediocre, the score doesn't count.

just go into the news settings and turn off the japanese channels

I know, it's just that they won't disappear from the actual news page. Those articles won't go away.

THE STAGE IS UP IN THE EU PLAZA! I went in to check and there it is!

what new map are you looking forward to the most? I'm excited for the pirate ship one and the stage.

80-83.
Lack of content will get tons of points docked unfairly.

Is there any way to play the tutorial again?

>all this great not-Miiverse art in the Jap version
the full game won't be region-locked online, will it?

THIS SONG IS SO FUCKING FRESH

Sturgeon Shipyard.
Shipping crates are the best shooter map aesthetic.

Have you tried deleting your save data for the demo?

delete the game and redownload it, or download another copy from a different region

twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/885933673534693376
i sense a bias

delete your save data

no. just like spla1n

Delete the save data in the settings.
Create a new user account on the Switch

The patricians of Team Cake will destroy Team Ice Cream through true skill in turf war.

zoinks.

t.thatsso

...

Does stopping before the jump pad and reopening work?

>it's another "ice cream elites will have endless mirror matches while the bad ice cream players fight Cake Elites" episode

If i'm in the game when the Splatfest starts, do i have to quit and reload?

if it's anything like splatoon, it'll interrupt you and say there's a news broadcast, and then it'll start from there

What are you doing while waiting for Splatoon 2?

goodnight /ink/

Suffering

Succotash

posting memes

nofap

I can't wait that long.

...

who /Team Pop/ here

Looking at Mochi lolis

...

link?

Resisting the urge to jerk off to Marina again

I know this is really off topic, but if I posted this on /v/ it'd probably get deleted because of the garbage mods. What if the big 3 groups were separated into their own boards? /v/ is just /b/ with a videogames veil on it because of consolewars. It'd probably be for the better since you'd actually be able to talk about videogames.

always knew marie was a streetwalker
this was never funny. its just someone being a retard

hibernating

I'd be emulating Mother 3 blind with a friend, but they're on vacation.

...

Hopefully we can get a squad going.

Trying to sleep, albeit failing miserably. Wish me good sleep, /ink/, and I shall wish the same for you.

Artist is mochi. I'm not going to spoonfeed you.

I'll probably watch some /who/, play some Puyo and get an early night.

>splatfest is 11 hours away

is puyo worth it? considering getting it

Waiting at the DMV. Kill me.

...

Yes, especially as it's on sale right now. It has a long-ass Adventure mode and a bunch of other fun modes. Online outside of Ranked is pretty dead from what I've seen (though maybe it's more populated at US/JP night times) but you can get matched in a Ranked battle almost instantly.

I was just there yesterday for 4 hours. It's amazing how slow they are.

The Demo is quite serviceable, I bought the game and found it worth it. It's less expensive digitally, or was.
I think it's probably the easiest game to pick and put down that the switch has, in my opinion.

Hey guy who asking about the tutorial earlier I'm glad I can just quit out before super jumping and play a few more times to get used to these controls thanks /ink/ cya tomorrow for the fest

but splatoon 2 isn't out yet

Can wait for more fan music, honestly better than some "real" music.
