Oh I meant to reply to this
Whenever I say I havenât played Octo Expansion people do offer to buy me it so apparently itâs good
The story modes are mainly meant to be tutorials I think
Yes they are and it shows
Yeah
I think theyâre ~fine at being tutorials but I donât get why people praise htem as standalone experiences
Me neither
2âs sucks
1 also sucked iirc
Because people genuinely talk about them like the story is engaging and the gameplay loop is fun and theyâre worth playing even if you donât need a tutorial and itâs like Come on now. Be serious
I say this because I was tricked into playing the story mode by these people despite having no interest
1 was one of the games of all time
I havenât played splatoon 3 in a while but I played a bunch of 2
I miss the nuke
Allegedly they made splashdown good by just making it do it again
Trashdown (triple splashdown)
Good is. An overstatement.
i really liked splatoon 1 and splatoon 2s story but I also played them when i was Hella Young so thats probably got something to do with it
then again I also liked 3s a lot and paparnetly that sucks os maybe my taste is just different 
I wonât pretend I donât die to it sometimes but itâs certainly not meta. But thatâs how Splashdown has always been. If you can shoot it down, it does literally nothing; if you canât shoot it down, it kills you badly. And thatâs what the balance problem is
This is according to Icibalus when it released
I think itâs different points of reference. Itâs not objectively (that) bad I just dislike it and am constantly surrounded by people who LOVE it so Iâm contrarian on purpose
I donât play that many video games so Iâm very selective about what I play also. So being induced to play a video game that is not like Guys This Is Literally The Best Thing Ever Made quality makes me a bitch
thats fair
