Splatoon is definitely one of the most fun games I've ever played. I'm glad they released a sequel on the Switch!

I still need to try out the Octo Expansion, but I have a backlog of way too many games, so I'm holding off on buying DLC for the time being. :(

It's worth it :) also improves aim a lot for the online with all the challenges you do. 200m Dunge, Rc, Mage and invention accomplished, + 120 Constitution/Slayer/Range/Summoning/Woodcutting/Mining/Defence/Strength and 110m fishing, got comp/MQC and 200m Fishing/Woodcutting/Mining as well as 120 herb/Farming/Cooking most 120s just Agility, Theiving, Hunter and Prayer left

Yep, im 100% going to be getting it.

Never played the DLC for Splatoon 2 though even though i DL it.

Might want to get a warm up with Octo Expansion before 3 drops for a strong headstart :) , I'll likely be doing the same by replaying it 200m Dunge, Rc, Mage and invention accomplished, + 120 Constitution/Slayer/Range/Summoning/Woodcutting/Mining/Defence/Strength and 110m fishing, got comp/MQC and 200m Fishing/Woodcutting/Mining as well as 120 herb/Farming/Cooking most 120s just Agility, Theiving, Hunter and Prayer left

I'm afraid to say that, even though I bought a Nintendo Switch and Splatoon 2 recently, I don't actually like the game very much. That's not because of the gameplay itself so much, though. I wanted to buy it because it seemed like the kind of shooter I'd like. And in what time I have spent with it, I can definitely say that it's a totally unique shooter game that is really really cool.

Unfortunately, it suffers from the same problem virtually every other online PvP game does...

The matching system is crap.

I'm a pretty casual player. And I'm not really into competitive gameplay. Not least because people tend to be jerks about it, but thankfully Splatoon 2 doesn't have the same issues as something like League of Legends (where people mouth off to each other in and out of game). But there's nothing like a really good balanced competitive experience. It feels really really good when a match is full of players who are all around the same skill level.

But in practice, that almost never happens. Usually, one team totally dominates because a few of the players in a group are really skilled and whichever team gets more of those players wins. In cases where the skilled players and weak players are evenly distributed, it can at least be a close match, but it's still not actually fun for the weak players because it basically devolves into the high skill players using them as target practice while in effect having a 2v2 match between each other, etc.

Being on the winning team is "fun". But it's a shallow kind of fun so long as it doesn't feel like I've contributed anything.

I'm sure these kinds of games at least vaguely try to match similar skill levels, but it just never goes far enough. Perhaps it's just impossible.
