I missed the Direct, but managed to catch that earlier today. Just finished downloading it!

First play date complete.

I really liked it. I wasn't in a hurry to get the game at launch. Things have changed.

Now that you have played (or seen your favorite streamer/LPer play)
Questions? Comments? Concerns?

I loved it! I usually stay away from competitive/pvp games since I suck at them, but I feel Splatoon gives me a chance to find my place in a match.
I just need to get used to some of the mechanics, like remembering I can swim in the ink. Too bad I'll miss tomorrow's play sessions.

I actually thought it'd start right now. It was a good thing I decided to see if there was something to do just before I thought it would begin.

Amazing, simply amazing.

All rollers, all the time.

Sad that I missed it, but was occupied with other things.

It's happening again, but only once!

Target is giving away Splatoon squirt guns with purchase of Splatoon at launch.

Ummmm....
YES!

Oh sweet! I can't wait for... Target to open a store in Puerto Rico.
Damn you Target!

Of all the days to be stuck late at work. >_<

insultobot · **Posted:** May 29th, 2015, 7:12 pm

I sent wife to Target this morning and now I have Splatoon and the water gun. I'm getting all wet.

It's amazing dude. We played for like 7 hours straight yesterday.

Ranked just opened last night. Played it for a bit. It's okay, but you can only play with randoms. Absolutely no friends, much less parties.

Guarionex · **Posted:** June 2nd, 2015, 2:26 pm

I haven't tried Ranked matches. My brother did and lost. He said his team got 0 points and the winning team 500 each, which sounds odd.

Lantis · **Posted:** June 2nd, 2015, 2:57 pm

Yeah. Ranked is all or nothing. If you lose you get no experience.

Guarionex · **Posted:** June 2nd, 2015, 4:35 pm

But if winners get merely 500 points each, then "all" is not really that good. I can get more by losing in regular matches :S

Lantis · **Posted:** June 2nd, 2015, 4:39 pm

Ranked is more about increasing your rank more than your level. Half of everyone I saw was level 20 anyways...

ErikaFuzzbottom · **Posted:** June 2nd, 2015, 10:31 pm

I never even saw rank anywhere. I just assumed rank and level were one and the same.

Lantis · **Posted:** June 2nd, 2015, 11:24 pm

You can't miss it. They make a huge deal about it when you go to online. Callie and Marie talk in great detail about how it works.
