                Yes, exaggeration. This is all fairly milquetoast in the grand scheme of their relationship and the yuribait they've done over the series. Thinking anything here like Pearl promising to chill after the tour or Marina calling Pearl adorable (She also calls Order cute too! And Marina calls Pearl cute all the time) as anything earth shattering is hilarious. And I believe their relationship is obvious yuribait, mind you, but this is still shippers making a mountain out of a molehill.

                Marina making that manga about Pearl, Pearl's interview, Pearl straight up saying "You know I love you" or the Splatoon 3 character chart is far more explicit than anything in here, which can be much easily brushed over

                I'd say all of that shit compounds on one another instead of one being more or less "true" than the others. Like I said, pretty much the only thing we're missing from them is an on screen kiss at this point. Which will never happen of course and I don't expect it to since Nintendo will want to maintain plausible deniability, but still.

          No it isnt, re-read it. You pick EASY/NORMAL/HARD, no fixed chips, upon beating them, youre offered 1 of 3 chips, harder floors give better ones.
          The issue is right now, you have to pick, difficulty OR chips.

      I'm willing to bet that in Japan they simply didn't refer to her using gendered terms so NoA didn't want to confirm that she's a she despite her being called a she in other languages. I don't know what it says in the game, but it's probably the same case as A in Xenoblade where they never even get the chance to refer to her in the third person.

      Pikmin 4 also had some extremely challenging content, getting platinum on the sage trials is some of the hardest content in any 3D Nintendo game. I think it's moreso that Nintendo is changing some of their philosophies recently and is now allowing more difficulty.

      what are you finding difficult, I don't even have all gold SR stage badges but I beat it with stringer
      make sure you picking the good color chips for your weapon/playstyle, take advantage of the vending machine levels, get permanent upgrades/live from marina, if you notice you are stuggling/lacking in something in particular in a run keep an eye out for chips that could make up for it

        HAHAHAHA
        >he bought extra lives
        >he cheated the roguelike mode
        You didnt beat it. Beating a roguelike means getting gudder at it until skill prevails over challenge. Buying meta permagrades and extra lives is simply lowering the bar until its under you
        >"n-no I didnt die, I get a mulligan!"
        btw once you buy the meta upgrades there is no going back so if you want to do a no death run later for more challenge, you cant.

    So a day before Valentines I went you know what would be funny if I just changed my character from male to female without changing anything else. I always though my player character lean a lot of the gender neutral side in terms of design. I wanted to see if my friends will tell the difference. So on Valentines I did just that and it went poorly. Queue up with my friend but he was on the enemy side so I had to make sure to die by him or die near him so it would make it hard for him to guess. It didn’t work as I got ambushed by him and he definitely noticed.
    It’s been about a week and what started out just a joke I decided to keep the female model well into the Fresh Season to see the difference in terms of small things like idle animations and the voice lines for the female inkling. I can definitely see why most people don’t actually pick male inkling in fact you probably barely see them at all. Also my brain is very detailed oriented and I immediately started noticing differences between male and female even the tiniest h to like idle animations on different weapons. It’s so subtle on some but then there is Dualie where it is completely different.

            Ah okay, I was wondering how this would work. Each weapon is its own run that you have to commit to. Already, I can see myself doing lots of runs with some favored weapons. Not looking forward to a brella run.

            Oh right, forgot that from the previews.

              As someone who just completed a brella run...
              It was pain. The only thing making it half-decent was an upgrade that made it so the brella wouldn't shoot forward, that + 4 close-range damage ups and investing in Pearl just barely got me to the end of the run.

                Anonymous

                Brella is broken with some upgrades, piercing shot and keep your brella is very strong, what makes it work is its versatility. Like, example,

                >Focus chips on Pearl
                >haha easy game i'll pick this danger level
                >no drone

                your build if too focused can just fall apart in a floor, brella is pretty consistent no matter the build its just a weak at start thing
                Also tried keeping the brella shield launch with knockback and lots of ink-to-special charge chips, very fun but hard past floor 15 to keep it up

                This mode reminds me most of Peglin as a pseudoroguelike. You not only need a build in mind but have to cover for certain situations you could find that invalidate it, putting all your eggs in one basket will potentially end your run.
                Funny to see anons here being filtered by this very mechanic though, never figuring out its not just about getting stronger but also covering weaknesses in your build.

        Absolutely not, the announcement trailer was a reel of concept art, close-ups of random assets and a very unfinished hub. 8's standard ink color hadn't even been finalized yet. I'd argue they started development only a little bit before that trailer was released.

    All my controllers are breaking and running out of battery. No lie, my 8bitdo had some bumper breaking happening, and then ran out of battery. Joy cons are fricked up as well, so a run was lost cause I couldn't hit my special.

      I have two official pro controllers, a launch one and one that came with monster hunter rise at that games launch.
      Both work fine, and batteries last at least 20-25 hours, down from around 30.
      Only issue is the oldest one has a slight motion drift in splatoon, where if im still, it will move slowly over about 5 degrees then stop, every time.

I don't give a shit about hades or any other roguelike, I've never mentioned hades to you except now, I just want you to frick off out of splatoon threads, nobody gives a shit about "muh requirements for gud roguelike", talk about the game or frick off.

                Side order is a roguelike mode. So yeah, roguelike fans are interested in where SO fits and which games its most comparable too. I get normalgays who only played hades and returnal couldnt spot the difference in isaac, gungeon, StS and dead cells but all of these games are totally different.
                Talking about roguelikes IS talking about SO if youre literally comparing them and their mechanics.
                This was me:

                Brella is broken with some upgrades, piercing shot and keep your brella is very strong, what makes it work is its versatility. Like, example, [...]
                your build if too focused can just fall apart in a floor, brella is pretty consistent no matter the build its just a weak at start thing
                Also tried keeping the brella shield launch with knockback and lots of ink-to-special charge chips, very fun but hard past floor 15 to keep it up

                This mode reminds me most of Peglin as a pseudoroguelike. You not only need a build in mind but have to cover for certain situations you could find that invalidate it, putting all your eggs in one basket will potentially end your run.
                Funny to see anons here being filtered by this very mechanic though, never figuring out its not just about getting stronger but also covering weaknesses in your build.

                >This mode reminds me most of Peglin as a pseudoroguelike.
                >goes on to elaborate why
                Id say it fricking counts as valid and that schizo hades fan needs to calm down

              Its got nothing to do with tryharding you normalgay, hades is a bad roguelike
              Its balanced around the permagrades, if you dont use them it becomes a slog due to low damage, but even if you are up for it, the build variety is so low that it gets stale very quickly.
              Theres a reason isaac is still going strong years later despite looking like actual shit, because mechanically its great.
              Hades is unironically a simple game to introduce roguelikes to normalgays while wooing them with good VA and presentation. Many actual roguelike fans will say the same, its a bad game mechanically and isnt good past a few cursory runs once you realise how shallow it is.
              Side order is a better roguelike to me than hades is simply due to being more interesting to replay with different weapons and chip builds, its got literally nothing to do with difficulty or "tryharding" you deflecting homosexual
              Also, "tryharding" is a term only shitters use to describe those who emasculate them.

    For people who watched the ending cutscene, how much more do you hate Frye after seeing how awesome Pearl is?
    I guess she's more in character now, being that she's supposed to be the angry one, but for real she's just mad that Off Da Hook is getting attention. Weak b***h.

      I thought it was alright. The fight is pretty easy but the spectacle after was pretty neat and it gave me a smile. It's basically your journey through the tower in one fight, where you're struggling at first and after getting all the chips the game plays itself

      It's clear they wanted runs to last a touch so you could build up chips, but not -so- long that unlocking every palette would take like 30+ hours. Honestly the grind for the keys is the factor I can tell I'm going to hate once it's all said and done. Anyone know the gear you can unlock with Prilz? More less doubt anyone knows the final key unlock/challenge huh?

    This shit could have been so easy to pad out content for. Just steal all of the ranked modes, weekly challenges/SR modfiers and enemies/bosses from S2-OE-S3. They literally could have quadrupled the variety of this mode with zero effort but they thought chasing the stupid Sunfish enemy for 25% of the runtime was more entertaining. If it weren't for ass bias this would be the worst Splatoon campaign yet.

            I play salmon run, and im also not bad at video games so I never found any of the weapons hard to begin with. Sucks to suck I guess but after 20 hours you would be able to chea- I mean, buy all the permanent upgrades and make all the weapons EZ mode. If you havent 100%ed after 20 hours what the frick were you doing? Takes after you get a feel for it, at most, 30 mins per weapon.
