This is the worst thing about the Splatoon community by far as according to the game, the inkling characters are only 14.Caramel Frappe said:
Mainly because...they don't matter? Like seriously, most people (cause if I say all the one other person will appear) don't really care that any of the features aren't there because it's just so much fun. In addition, some of the features missing (like the choose your own map) isn't there because they want to guarantee a game and the game is being continually updated weekly with new maps and modes a la TF2 for free so most of the "missing features" are really minor.Strazdas said:
There have been no real missing features. Ranking mode was missing only so that the massive amounts of match data from the standard mode could be used to tweak it. There are plenty of weapons but they are walled off to inexperienced players and thus allows the game play to evolve rather than everyone jumping to the most powerful weapon combos from the very start. The paint brush was added later because it clearly needed additional game data to be balanced properly. Game play trailers showed it already existed before launch so the only reason for it no to be there on day one is that it could be game breaking if too powerful. Map selection doesn't exist to ensure that people actually get matches because when you divide the user base by 12 maps you only get matches on the most popular maps if at all. Split screen is a bit much to ask for a game that is dependent on the tablet for competitive play which is why the local vs mode has all of the map features and functions stripped out so the Pro Control player isn't at a massive disadvantage. Same reason goes for why you can't bring local multiplayer into the online matches. Putting a small amount of maps into rotation for competitive play is standard practice, but you probably don't actually play online competitive games like SC2 or TF2Strazdas said:
I like the Splatatatatatatatatatata *8 hours of tatata* version better.Objectable said:
lack of matchmaking, the low map count, and the bad lobby controls would be the kiss of death for most shooters.xaszatm said:
1. That's borderline inulting but it is Strat call.medv4380 said:
I wouldn't classify this like most shooters, since it's a brand new IP with different mechanics and platforming/shooting/traversing SP Mode.direkiller said:
Well, they are professional soldiers who drown inteligent and self aware beings of another race in toxic paint and constantly put their own lives in danger.Z of the Na said:
Well, the matchmaking is there for Ranked battles. It's just not there for the free-for-all. Low Map Count will be gone by the end of this month as the next update adds like 4 maps bringing the map count to 11 (for reference, and why I've been comparing it to TF2, that game came out with 6 maps and didn't update until August of next year). And most problems with the lobby were fixed between the Testfire and the release so...yeah, there's those complaints.direkiller said:
