Was there anything the original Splatoon did better than its sequel?

It's worse because you have to shift your eyes and/or your whole head.

Gamepad

FUCK the Switch, I stopped playing Splatoon 2 the same year because I had to buy a 70usd gyro pro controller that was super fucking sensitive. The game pad was perfect.

Fuck the switch.

Gamepad map is one of those things people seem to either really miss or be really glad is gone. Personally as someone who opens and closes the map quickly I'm pretty indifferent about the change, people act like it ruins Splatoon 2 but it's not that big a deal.

I imagine it's people who only open the map after spawning vs people who check the map constantly.

Not just the map aspect but just controlling the gameplay via gyro control. Not to mention playing the Switch in handheld mode is neck aching, I mean that literally. I used to love playing Splatoon 2, but being up against a wall neck and back bent like a fetal position just to get the controls just right, really got to me.

And I'm not playing this in fucking joycon mode. I don't have hands like an 8 year old. The Switch is a step back.

The inkstrike AKA the Finger of God, honestly, being able to touch the screen and say everything there will die was awesome.

I prefer the gamepad on the Wii u. It let me see the map in real time with the action and I have an easier time jumping to allies and beacons

You don't need to check the map constantly, but you do need to check it more often than just after spawning. But the stages are so small anyway that oftentimes the map isn't really necessary.
Use combined joycons, dude.

I guess the touchpad? I also really liked Flounder Heights and Mahi Mahi resort, but everything else was done better in Splatoon 2. Shit like the Kraken and Inkzooka were fucking broken and sucked to play against.

S1 was fun but the better you got the more awful it played.

everything. 2 sucks

Um that's what I was referring, and it's shit compared to the game pad. See monitorbro post.

Who knows what fucking controller gimmick Nintendo will come up with next. We already had that expensive cardboard bullshit. Nintendo is out of touch, and they are not our friends, never were. They days of them making things with innovation and soul are over.

Spoken like a true shitter.

why the fuck are you foetal positioning you autist

If you need to check the map constantly it's a sign you have bad situational awareness and need a substitute to pay attention. Most shooters don't come with a map and they work just fine.

Checking the map is incredibly useful in pointing out flanks.
>Most shooters don't come with a map
Splatoon isn't most shooters.

The stages are so small and cramped that you can see most flanks right on your screen, no map required.
>Splatoon isn't most shooters.
It's not so different that basic flanking maneuvers suddenly require a map to counter. If you can't figure out how to deal with flanks without constantly checking the map, your game sense is bad.

What is foetal posting? I'm just talking about a game I used to enjoy. The gamepad let me both control and quick spawn/special use. Select shit on the map, let me see where my team mates where. Don't come at me with this shit. I now have this 8 inch fucking screen I have to keep my eyes on at all times, while twisting and fucking turning, and might miss shit outside my peripheral vision, because I'm turning a screen. It's a mess even fucking talking about it. I don't care fuck the switch kid, get over it.

Splatoon 2 stand alone without expensive controllers, fucking sucks. I bought a Wii U and never had to buy another fucking controller ever. Hell even in Super Mario Maker 2, you need to BUY and additional stylus to help with stage building, Wii U never had this issue did it? Because it had it own.

Why the fuck are you using handheld mode? You know you can use combined joycons like a normal controller, right?

Fucking ESLs, I swear man. Just ban everything south of Texas and east of Germany.
Don't play splatoon with the joycons in the screen you immense retard.

Why did they remove the killer wail and the kelp splat charger. That weapon was my main and i miss it.

Also 1's specials in general were more fun.

checking the map for a split second is akshually a commonly used mechanic by top players, it shows you where opponents who got hurt are located, it's super useful for certain weapons like explosher or a special like stingray

You guys must have little girl hands. Fuck that, I want a controller, not this 2 inch bullshit, even combined that's like 4 inches. Fucking twiddle dee dee, I regret ever buying a switch.

Show me a who uses this shit. None of my friends do. I want to look at the large tv I bought, not this fucking glorified smart phone.

Also what is an ESLs? Some new smartphone tech boi lingo?
