I'm excited for The Last of Us Part 2, despite the leaks | PS4 State of Play Impressions
i’ve been utterly obsessed with splatoon 3 this past month. it gives me flashbacks of pvp games of the 2000s where there’s NO micro transactions, everything is earned through playing . that is just a big deal to me . i’m so thankful this game exists
ERM ACTUALLY, THEY’RE THANGS, NOT THI-
“Capture the flag, but the flag is a rocket launcher” is the best description of rainmaker I’ve ever heard-
Need an update on whether David rightfully returned your copy of Max Payne 3 or if hes walking with a limp?
I'm playing this right now on an XBOX 360. The animations and shooting mechanics are top notch. I did play it ehen it came out and it's still one of my favourite games of all time. I am going to buy it for my PS3 as well. The PC version looks absolutely stunning.
Second time watching this and apparently I forgot to comment the first time around-? This video’s S+ tier as always but hearing you played this as a kid while I was already five years outta college makes ME feel like a washed up sweat stained shirt booze hound I love this game to death, in all its ignorance and brilliance. Is it saying something? Anything? Who knows, but it sure tries its hardest and that gets my respect Oh, and all the Passos walking? Hidden load screens. Same for why Max slowly bleeds out twice in the stadium level. All that insane attention to detail and destructible environments do cost!
after seeing A TON of videos criticizing everything in the game, seeing this is such a big break, i have been a huge fan of this game since 2018-2019 to the point all of my usernames were octogirl and a bunch of numbers up until 2021, because at the end of the day, i just focus on having fun because i'm still a kid and this game saved me from hard times, even if rotm isn't a great campaing imo, it's still fun and all
9:56 tf you talkin about, these two are wives
7:13 CHIRPY CHIPSSSSSS
Is it really? (1600 hours in splatoon 3)
completely disagree about one thing and that’s the emotes. losing and winning feels so soulless in 3 imo
I wonder if TJ likes Agent 8. Maybe, maybe not.
7:24 OMG I NEVER NOTICED TARTAR??? That’s crazyyy
Genuinely one of my new favorite RUclipsrs, came for the sploon stayed for the meta…star allies
Thank you for the kind comment, means a lot. This video is my personal favorite I've done so far. I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
KHONJIN HOUSE REFERENCE SPOTTED!!!!
Someday I hope to be at least half as creative and funny as khonjin house is. 🙏🙏🙏
Great Franchise but wrong Console. Ive played alot on Playstation, Xbox and PC and i can aim decently well maybe even good but i cant hit anything in Splatoon. I refuse to play Motion control cause it just sucks. I still buy Splatoon cause the singleplayer is really fun.
Calling Marina “harbour” is actually insane as hell lmao!
Wwyr meowing cats or meowing inklings
WHAT THE FUCK UNTHREES YOUR SPLATOON AND MAKE SPLATERSPACE ROCKFISH USES DEMONITIZE ITS FUCKING USELESS
the story was missing a damn act. but it's still really really really good. other recent roguelikes still surpass it a bit
glad to see someone finally being positive about this game for once. you are super underrated
i feel like one of the reasons why a lot of people were disappointed was the vibes the first side order teaser trailer with it's mysterious music , art and dark color palette and us having that as like. the only side order content given to us for like almost a whole ass year and the other 2 trailers didn't reveal much else aside from gameplay and the "grand finale" set for splatoon 3 didn't help much along with the expectations left from oe (also i will never forgive nintendo teasing us with agent 4 especially them being a silhouette and most splatoon story art the character centered at the top with a silhouette is a major character/villain only for it to be like "agent 4 is character in splatoon we dgaf" NINTENDO WHEN I GET YOU WHEN I GET YOU NINTENDO-)
TEAM PRESENT FTW YEAHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥 great video!! i really enjoyed it ^___^
I luve snide oder 🐙
While I find a much more positive and nuanced take on SO's story to be much appreciated, I find that the gameplay and what SO's gameplay introduces to Splatoon much more interesting. SO proved that Splatoon story modes don't just have to be puzzle platformers, which makes me hopeful for story modes of future Splatoon installments I think the puzzle platformer approach Splatoon has taken for its single player campaigns for the past few years has gone stale (especially when you consider Nintendo has two other platformer franchises), and SO's emphasis on movement, combat, unique enemy and level design and solid progression systems could lead to some very interesting single player campaigns gameplay-wise. I still love the video, and I find a more positive review of SO to be very warranted. I love how you look into narratives in a video game with the developer's intent in mind, rather than simply looking at it at face value.
Fantastic points! I think since it's a popular trend, sometimes we tend to roll our eyes at roguelike design. But turning a platforming shooter into a roguelike is not an easy task and does prove that Splatoon's gameplay can thrive in areas that aren't just puzzle platforming. With it's focus on combat and movement, SO feels almost like an evolution and extension to Salmon Run more than anything in that regard. 100% agree, I'm very excited to see where Nintendo takes the series from here. Imagine if we can get the narrative depth of Octo Expansion with the gameplay complexity of Side Order! Ohhh man they'd be cooking lol. And I appreciate your comment a lot man. I aim to always bring a fresh perspective on games, but I always focus on narrative first and foremost since it's my specialty. Thanks for watching and thanks for being here!
none of the jokes are landing for me
0:12 loo oh oh oh my god lol
PokeRogue and Side Order are great; the best part is that for the most part, you choose the difficulty.
1:54 Are you just gonna ignore Metroid and Xenoblade like that, man? Recommendations aside, great analysis on the themes of Side Order. I was initially pretty disappointed by Side Order’s… minimalistic story, but I understand it a lot more now thanks to this video. It may not have the emotional depth and nuance of Octo Expansion, but it’s still a good way to tie everything about the series together with such a limited scope. I wish you talked a LITTLE more about the gameplay, since making broken builds and shredding armies with them is my favorite part of this DLC, but that’s more of a nitpick. All in all, good video! Also… LET’S GO, TEAM PRESENT! LET US EMBRACE THE NOW WE HAVE!
I don't know why but Squiddy Jones fucking killed me lmao. Maybe it's my post-game delirium from getting the rest of the keys in a single night.
Let me check the octo expansion check list Agent 8✅ Bangers✅ Marina X pearl✅ Lore by completing things✅ Wholesome✅ Villain✅ Breaks the game✅ Balls✅ Another agent boss fight✅ Pain✅ Dark themes✅ Acht✅ Good final boss✅ Character development ✅ Good end theme✅ Booyah✅
WHERES EVERSPACE WE HAVE IT AT HOME WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN THATS SPLATOON 3
What
Nah i think octo expansion is way better
Sorry, what? Side order is very easy, has very little content, a mediocre boss lineup, and a basic story that affects the world very little. Its a fun romp, but masterpiece it is not.
Yeah watch the video before pls
I disagree with everything you said here, but to each their own.
@@fnaffoxy1987 Really? The story wasn't basic? Did you honestly struggle with the difficulty?
@@knatkniht I didn't find the story basic because I thought of it as a continuation of Octo Expansion, which it is. I guess maybe I was imagining more than was there because I was thinking about what wasn't told and what Marina was trying to do with the Memverse and help all the lost Octarians. As for the difficulty, I'm not a professional player, I just play occasionally and I'm almost exclusively a shooter type weapon main, so climbing the tower with every weapon type was an adjustment. I've gotten better with the weapons I think and I'm much more knowledgeable now about what each stage entails, so that helps immensely.
@@fnaffoxy1987 It is a continuation. It just doesn't do much. The actions in the game don't explore many deep topics or have any larger effect on the world. It's a self-contained romp in a vr land. And really, I'm no pro either. I'm not good at the game at all. It was still a cakewalk, and the bosses are super basic, often with very few attacks. This is especially egregious with the parallel canon, which has just horrible AI.
Meh. The story was advertised to be a bit darker and I was dissapointed when it wasnt like Octo Expansions story. Also Inscryption, to me, is a much more addictive roguelike than Side Order. It just feels more replayable.
The story was never particularly advertised to be darker it was just what you interpreted out of concept art
@@shou_gana1 Yeah but the music, the artwork, the immense feeling of somberness and loneliness, rewatching the trailers, doesnt ot seem like it was gonna have a darker narrative? I wish it was advertised as a bit more lighthearted because the end result is more of that rather than a more serious story. Like you cant tell me Smollusk is a more serious antagonist that raises the stakes more than TarTar does.
@@shou_gana1 no, it was quite literally meant to be an introspection on agent 8, but they probably rushed it because too many people were whining about wanting it sooner. hence the advertisement tweet, "what goes on inside an octo's head?". SO was mediocre especially compared to octo expansion which had a marvel of a story lol. it seems they've done the ol' breath of the wild treatment, that they wanted to make a 'good game' first and then focus on story after, much to the detriment of their products.
@@slurpjonesysimp5390 Side Order was Marina trying to sort through all the mem cakes from Kamabo Co and try and undo some of the damage done by Tartar and return some octolings back to themselves. All the white ash outside the tower are mem cakes/memories that Order has incinerated. Just look at how much ash has been dumped outside. How many memories are lost forever for countless people. That is horrifying to me.
I like your analysis on Side Order's themes, but I'd actually argue that ROTM does a better job telling its story. It was really disappointing for me how the only real storytelling is relegated to the Marina diaries, and I rolled my eyes every time team Pearl goes "hey let's ask Smollusk this massive question that has huge implications for the lore and his character" before fighting him. It all felt so unimaginative compared to ROTM, which I thought pushed Splatoon's storytelling forwards with things like the Alterna Logs being an evolution of the Sea Scrolls, and Mr. Grizz having way more presence has a villain (even if he still suffers from being in a 6-hour campaign). Great video, though, even though I disagree! Very cool to see more people discussing the actual storytelling in Splatoon.
Octo-Expansion probably has the best blend of likeable characters and plot progression, but Side Order tries to have both and fails at both. ROTM, while having pretty flat characters aside from Grizz (who gets at least some cool stuff, especially with the secret log), nailed Alterna as a setting and at least has some fantastic, exciting sequences like the beginning and end. Side Order gets a cool tutorial that is hurt in hindsight when you realize the story doesn't go anywhere at all. Despite having less interesting characters, ROTM did a far, far better job communicating the theme of embracing the present to forge a brighter future, as well as how the fall of humanity and rise of the Inklings are a metaphor for how in death, there is life.
Agree wholeheartedly. The characters in ROTM are terrible. To add on to the “story didn’t go anywhere”, while it’s true side order has better characters, it really doesn’t matter because the story didn’t go anywhere. They were good from the LAST game’s dlc doing all the work.
Great video, thank you for talking about squid racism, it is so important to me, literally inking my pants rn
HE’S BACK! WITH MORE SPLATOON!! Seriously though, your first Splatoon video made me buy it. Keep on keepin’ on, TJ
Thank you!! It was a long time coming, but feels really good to finally come back to splatoon. It's such a special series and I'm glad you took the dive into it. I hope you liked the shoutout man!! Your work helped inspire a lot of parts for this one.

I smell bias straight out the gate. Thought yes this is better than elden ring
This was the video that finally convinced me to get Splatoon 3 after buying my oled last Christmas and i gotta say, thank you. I recently hit EVP on Salmon Run and i dont plan on stopping. I agree on yhe story mode though. It felt a bit detatched from everything else. Also: i swear S4 is gonna explore the Salmonids. How can they not? With them invading the town and the big bosses that have been introduced? And i think Frye is gonna take over Grizzco Ind.
