Current Events > Lmao, fanboys are mad that reviews basically say Splatoon 2 is an expansion pack

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have a Switch and plan on getting Splatoon on Friday, but did people really expect anything different from something that looks and plays nearly identical to its predecessor
---

But isn't that what fanboys were saying it was going to be the moment it was announced?
---

So it's Super Mario Galaxy 2

Critics are unable to be consistent

I'm still constantly surprised that Splatoon has fanboys. The game looked like a WiiU tech demo and it was basically Nintendo's first foray into multiplayer. Why the fuck does it have such a devoted fanbase?

Thinks positively, no one bought a Wii-U so its a new game for most people. Also, expansion packs are fine if the content is good. Both the Witcher 3 expansions are still better than 90% of other action-RPG games.

Not if the expansion pack is a $60 game, is the issue.Doe posted...

Galaxy 2 was worse than Galaxy 1 so maybe they're onto something

Whoops, meant the inverse that time.

But yeah, I have no problem with if being a sequel in name only as long as people can recognize that much in between all of the Switch hype; just because you're not one of the 12 million with a Wii U doesn't mean everything can be new and exciting for everyone

It's the only half decent multiplayer shooter on a Nintendo system thus Nintendo fanboys are rabid to defend it.

I found the original fun and unique, be happy to play it on something I can easily play while laying in bed. Granted I was only half interested but it came as a pack in with my Wii U so it was a pleasant surprise.

What did he mean by this

What's this topic even referring to? It has an 84 on Metacritic which is good. Hell looking it up that's more than the first game.
---

An export of /v/ metacritic shitposting wherein a game is only good if it is >=90 on Metacritic

Because it's pretty fun, and the first game actually has enough features and content to be considered a full game now. And you didn't have to pay extra for that content.

You implying CoD is better, then? Wii U has CoD anyway.

Splatoon does has arbitrary bullshit like only two maps a day and clothing and weapons that can only be bought randomly every day

I'm not a fan of that daily login bullshit tbh
