Well... Here's an attempt at a Porter-style feelsy wall of sound... I'm actually pretty happy with it.

 


So what do you guys think of this now?

 




#313658 Splatoon Is A Bad Unfinished Game

Posted by MatrixChicken on 02 June 2015 - 06:58 AM

1. Lobbying with friends shouldn't have to be coming soon. It's an essential feature in any online multiplayer. Have you ever heard of a game where the main focus is online multiplayer yet decide not to have essential features day 1?

2. Yes, now there are two modes. I'll give you that. but two modes as lackluster as these are still not enough.

3. Are you saying the underwhelming performance of the shot gun and other various weapons is just as good as the roller or Splat Jr? Any player can see that some weapon types are better than others. Make each weapon as good as the other. P.S I'm not saying that Roller and Splat Jr are over powered, they're not. They're just on a totally different level.

4. Now we're up to 6, still a sad number to launch with. We have more maps ready to play at this moment but Nintendo decided to withhold ready to play content for whatever reason.

5. Whether or not the gamepad is supior compared to the pro controller is a matter of opinion and irrelevant. Some people (like me) do not enjoy using the gamepad and would rather play splatoon without motion controllers and the gamepad.

6. With so many people trying to play a game at once it would take no time at all to fill a spot for someone who has just left.

7. I agree the clothes option are fantastic, I too would like to see some customization for legwear. I think having your own weapon loadouts would make splatoon's balancing better. However that is debatable and I see your point.

8. Easy solution, Just have pre-prepared loadouts ready to choose from before each match. Maybe something similar to Smash4's custom loadouts?

9. I'll be honest, I don't think I personally would ever use public mics in Splatoon. However I still believe that it should be a feature that is included in the game. Even if it's in friend games only.

 

1. Wait until August, like you'd have to if they did "finish" the game before launch. The rest of us will be having fun with an awesome game.

2. There you go. If the two modes out right now are lackluster to you, this game just isn't for you. No need to try to bring everyone else down when it's just a matter of your taste.

3. Yes, yes I am. I tried the blasters and I did pretty well. And there were a couple times in ranked mode last night that I got utterly obliterated by someone with a blaster. One shot, one kill. Not very underpowered if you ask me. And some people are way too good with the chargers... >_>

4. Like I said, wait until the game would have been out. I'd wait on saying Nintendo is holding back finished content just yet... It would seem Port Mackerel was included in the game's files at launch, but we have no idea how it'll work from now on... Some maps are ready to show, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're ready to release. If they are holding some content back, I'd guess it's to give them time to finish the rest, as well as to keep hype up for the game.

5. Sure, I guess. But the game was designed around the gamepad using motion controls.

6. I was having a hard time getting a match last night for a while. Think about it, this is a new IP on the Wii U we're talking about here. There isn't going to be a crazy amount of players like Smash or Mario Kart has. I expect all these things to be changed in the inevitable Spla2n, as long as the NX is a decent seller.

7. Eh, people would make crazy op combos, and everyone would end up using the same thing. If I could, I'd have an aerospray with a super jump beacon and the instrike. Some setups would just be way overpowered. But yeah you already said you can see that, so...

8. Yup that'd be a great option. As it is, though, it doesn't take long to change weapons at all. So unless you really, really need to keep playing with the same group of people, I don't see the big deal.

9. Friends VC would be great for the odd time I play online with friends, but I think it would cause some connection issues. The game already disconnects and lags every once in a while, and I'm not sure how voice chat would affect it. Of course, I'll always say, "just use skype", and everyone else will just say, "don't say that". It's a vicious cycle.




#313618 Splatoon Is A Bad Unfinished Game

Posted by MatrixChicken on 01 June 2015 - 06:20 AM

There are so many things wrong with Splatoon, it's just not even fun. 

 

1. No Lobbying with friends.

2. Only One Online Mode

3. Unbalanced Weapons

4. Only 5 Maps in total, LOL

5. No Option for Pro Controller

6. Unable to Exit Lobby 

7. Limited Custimization

8. Unable to change wepaons without leaving lobby

9 Do I even have to mention no Mics?

 

Yeah the game mechanics work and the game looks pretty. But it's a bad game.

 

1. Coming soon.

2. Also coming soon, like probably today...

3. Eh, not really. Just git gud.

4. Whaddaya know, also coming soon!

5. That is a fact, yes. Not really relevant as the gamepad is the superior control option anyway...

6. Also a fact... That's to prevent people from leaving and making a match take forever to start.

7. How so? Weapons are put in sets to ensure that balance you're so worried about. Clothes customization is pretty good IMO... Legwear would be nice though.

8. Also to prevent matches taking a long time to start.

9. Oh boy more voice chat whining... If you're talking about full-on public voice chat, I can't even take you seriously any more. The amount of stupidity people would be spewing isn't even funny, me included. Not to mention, half the people you play with are gonna be foreigners and voice chat would be useless with them. I can agree that the option for voice chat between friends would be nice.

 

Splatoon, as of now, might be a short game. A game lacking content. But the core gameplay is what's important, and I dunno about you, but I think it's amazing. I'm super happy that Nintendo released this "unfinished" game. It means I can have fun with this game 3 months (at least) early! And the added content will only make things more awesome.

Some guy made a piano cover of Skystrike haha.

 

 

That wasn't half bad! This one dude did a bass guitar "cover" of my song Ethereal... Didn't go as well IMO lol

 




#313435 Splatoon Single Player Commercial

Posted by MatrixChicken on 27 May 2015 - 10:19 AM

Wait Splatoon has single player? I thought it was an online-only game like Titanfall...




#313422 EDM Production and Appreciation thread!

Posted by MatrixChicken on 27 May 2015 - 09:46 PM

Splatoon's credits music totally sounds like a thinner Volant song.

 

 

If I could emulate his style I'd totally do a remix like that.


So have any of you guys tried doing other timings than 4/4? That future bass thing I'm working on is in 7/4...




#313340 The Great Splatoon Status Debate.

Posted by MatrixChicken on 25 May 2015 - 05:25 PM

I'm sorry, but... Really, Bubblegum? How can you possibly be this stupid? If you do like Sorceror said and wait until August to buy the game, how on earth are the new maps and modes not part of the purchase? They'll all be downloaded as one file. This isn't free DLC, this is updates. You have no option to play the game online without getting the updates. Would you rather they charged $30 for the game at launch and then another $10 for each "DLC pack" (which are actually just updates)?

 

And then there's your crazy argument that Splatoon's campaign doesn't matter because "multiplayer is its main mode". Not only is that not true (sure, that's what they've been pushing, but I've seen people saying they'll buy the game for its single player), but it's irrelevant, too. Smash 4's main mode is arguably its online, but does that make its single player content irrelevant? How about other companies' games? Halo? CoD? Would their prices be justified without any singleplayer? Splatoon has a completely unique single player, totally separate from its multiplayer. Different objectives than just "shoot the bad guys". I'd consider Splatoon an inkredibly lesser game without its campaign.

 

Of course you should expect more than a 6 hour campaign, 5 maps and 2 modes for $60. That's why you're GETTING MORE. You're arguing that these updates aren't part of the purchase. But how is that even possible? Once they're available, you won't have any choice but to download them if you want to play Splatoon's "main mode", online multiplayer. If you purchase the game after all the updates have been released, you'll be playing the completely updated, final version of the game. Unless you don't have internet, in which you'll just be playing single player and this whole discussion would be pointless.

How is it working on a laptop? :P At least you got good headphones and an interface...

 

Here's mine... (In spoilers because it's huge.)

 

Spoiler

 

So yeah... I like monitors, lol... Now before you crucify me for wasting money on this setup when I could be buying FL... Everything but the computer and the main monitor cost me nothing. We had the table, we had the speakers, we had the two extra monitors, we had the midi keyboard (oh I guess I did have to buy a MIDI to USB converter)...

 

Also, if you want to see my subwoofer and cable "management"...

#312610 E3 2015 Nintendo Predictions?

Posted by MatrixChicken on 05 May 2015 - 07:03 AM

It is hard to be excited when "Zelda U won't be at E3"... But I think that might just mean it won't be playable... Not showing it off at all seems a little crazy.

 

I'm really hoping for a new Metroid game, though.




#312588 EDM Production and Appreciation thread!

Posted by MatrixChicken on 03 May 2015 - 09:53 PM

Well, here's an idea...

 




#312484 EDM Production and Appreciation thread!

*snoip*

 

Nah it was a thread asking about whether anybody on the subreddit was able to compose good music without knowing theory. I guess they think so. :P

 

But eh, it's kinda fun to lurk around on there.

 

You can still post it lol

 

I did replace the link with the final version, but I doubt anybody will be looking through that thread any more...

 

On another note, I made some future bass! :D
