One thing I really liked about Octo Expansion that I forgot to mention. While I generally like looking for secrets and collectibles, I appreciated that I was able to get through these challenges without having to stop and snoop around. It was refreshing to not have to worry about that stuff.
Arlo it almost had half the collectibles in Kirby star allies
jesus christ youre so casual lol
yet at the same time, they still reward you for going out of your way. the rewards are less valuable, but it is still quite fun to find a well hidden one. One example is that in the replicate the dog mission, there is a hidden switch that I only noticed when my little sister was playing it (and she was the third person in the house to try it).
Arlo can you make every intro like that it was so funny
Agreed
I liked the fact that there weren't bosses when getting the thangs. After the challenging levels beforehand you expect an equally challenging boss but nothing comes. It's supposed to make you feel uneasy, like something's not quite right. Tartar wants you to collect the thangs so he can blend you into that primordial, world destroying ooze, just like he did with the most of the other 10,007 test subjects, so it makes sense there would be no resistance.
WOAHSHI!!! IT'S A DOUBLE YOSHI EXPLOSHI!!!
Dang man I wanted to say that lol
This is the best comment anyone has ever made or that anyone ever will make for all of human history, past, present, and future.
It was. And still is.
Am I the only one who didn't have much trouble completing the Octo Expansion?
Aside from a few stations, completing it wasn't too difficult and created an experience that really allowed Splatoon 2 players to excel and improve.
I don't understand why so many people say it's the "Dark Souls of Splatoon 2."
*Cough*Girl Power Station can suck one though*Cough*
I agree - it was challenging but mostly it was the right level of challenge for me. Also, I think I lucked out, somehow I beat Girl Power really easily, I was just waiting around for them to spawn all the time.
Super_JRM Im guessing S rank players wont have a problem with Octo Expansion
TheAlibabatree I am nowhere near a rank x player, yet it was fairly simple.
Blue Larry I must bow to you. I did eventually beat it, without a guide, using an octobrush.
I’m and A - average in ranked and I had a pretty okay time with the expansion. Challenging but never too frustrating.
I did beat girl power station 1st try though... but I haven’t been able to beat it again lol
(Edit) I used octo brush
The secret boss took me 5 hours to beat and was the most frustrating thing ever but... yeah.
The calamari incantation good guy thing was explained in the regular splatoon 2 scrolls. That's why marina is good
(Inkantation. It's a pun.)
That sounds kinda fucked up...
jeffrid antoine because we should convert other races to our own mindsets to make them, "good". I agree. It's like mind control. oh well, gonna buy it anyway.
Well it explains that the inkantation brought the octolings out of dj octavio's mind control. That's why callie worked for him because she was mind controlled.
It's a holy song used by shrines in traditional festivals, and the Squid Sisters remixed it.
I never thought I'd see a Rocky Horror reference in an Arlo video, but I love it.
Cody Hendrickson Amen to that, brother! I love it, I remember watching that with my father!
I don't know whats more sad, us old people that got the reference, or the kids that's never seen it.
Herbie Davis there's nothing wrong with being old but there's a lot wrong with never having seen RHPS.
Same. Hahaha
I know! I clapped because I know Rocky Horror! (and you clapped 'cause you know RLM)
It's funny how Arlo prefers the original Octo Canyon over the Octo Expansion. Basically everything Arlo said applies to me to Octo Canyon. A lot of the levels in there felt like a chore to me and just frustrating as all hell. Octo Expansion however, made me have fun with every single level, each a new goal. And personally, I love a good challenge where you can just try over and over again without much penalty until you get it. Octo Canyon was frustrating because you had to do the whole boring level over again if you fell or died 3 times. With Octo Expansion you can just start again and the last checkpoint after paying a few CQ points, and I never was in any danger of running out of those.
Octo Expansion was a solid 9,5/10 for me.
Same though. I had so much more fun with the dlc than the main one. Binged that one instead of taking my time with it like I did with the main
misomie Exactly! The Expansion took me about a week to beat and Octo Canyon nearly 6 months!
From my experience I only ever had to restart a level *once* and that was the super heavy grinding one where you have to dodge around the wall cylinders, me totally forgetting I can just duck into the ink instead of trying to jump like it was Sonic Adventure 2.
Meanwhile with the Expansion, I lost count of how many I needed to retry. At the very least, they ARE willing to let you re-pay to start at a checkpoint, but I find myself raging just as hard as the super short no checkpoint levels as well, so I don't always have that luxury.
I barely get to actually have fun with the expansion and it makes me prefer the regular campaign that already had me eye rolling at how boringly identical it was to the first game. It's like there's no middle ground here, either a boring copycat short campaign or a longer one that makes me scream at a game more than any Souls game has.
...Not that I'm seriously comparing Souls in actual gameplay like any jackass would, I'm just saying when I'm yelling less at THAT than friggin Splatoon, I feel there's an issue when I know Souls can have pretty cheap deaths.
Jelmerlicious Octo Canyon took me 1 month, and I 100% did it with every weapon. How?
No joke I actually beat the expansion in two days
I think you misinterpreted the "magical song turns bad guy into good guy" bit. the theme is that octolings live under a very repressed "society", and hearing a song so super-charged with the feeligns of freedom in the inkling society just... inspires them to break free, themselves, but in a very explosive way. Kinda as if they were brainwashed and the song shook them out of it.
It's still plenty game logic-y, but it totally goes with the themes of these games.
Also, in general, sorry to hear about your bad experience with octo expansion; for me, and most people I've talked to, it was a very rewarding kind of difficulty. Did you notice that the stations were ranked by difficulty, with the ones lower down the alphabet having the easier levels and the ones higher up having harder levels? I intentionally paced my progress by clearing out the easier ones first and then moving up, and the difficulty curve felt "right" most of the time. there very rarely was a harder-than-it-should-be level(you got hit by enemy ink. test failed. BOOM), but it was rare. Only the secret boss felt like pure BS, and damn did it feel GREAT to finally beat him.
Oh, and, uh, the donkey kong DLC doesn't take place in a different universe or anything. They just get sent to a different location and time, wich is what the washing time machine does. That's why DK and the megabug and so and such are there.
but yeah. it was overall pretty damn easy. until the ultimate challenges, wich crank the difficulty up to 11...k.
I kind of get the feeling that Arlo doesn't care about Splatoon's lore. Like, at all. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's pretty hard to be invested in a story when you just plain don't care about it.
I didn't know the bit about level difficulty being based off the subway line, but I agree that the difficulty was pretty reasonable most of the time.
Also the inkcantation was in the scrolls so he wasn't paying attention at all.
idk if you were being sarcastic or not, but the octarians ARE actually being brainwashed by DJ Octavio using his songs
I think it must be challenging to balance the difficulty of DLC. When they first make a single-player campaign, getting the difficulty right isn't too hard, you can expect new players to go into the game with a similar skill level. But after a while, everything is sort of a mess. Some players are really strong, some players are still newbies. Your main critiques of both the DLCs were the difficulty. Octo Expansion shot for players above you, DK whatever-it's-called shot for players below you. Octo Expansion sort of dealt with this by having different weapons for different difficulties, but even the base difficulty was very challenging for some. Perhaps they should add more difficulty options for future DLC, but I don't know if that's the solution. What do you think?
Mr. Moodle well you don’t need to complete every level as you can go a different route or skip them
Excellent point
I must be dreaming because this day may be the best day ever. Octopath and Captain Toad are released on Switch and Arlo releases not one but two reviews. Pinch me. Wait no... this is way better than real life.
Lol perfect story
I wanted octopath but had to settle on capt toad
@DDub 64 I wanted Captain Toad but I settled on Octopath. Captain Toad is in my near future though. Hopefully...
Executer 66 Captain Toad is $20 cheaper though.
@C Bass Ah yes, very observant you are but I longed for Octopath at greater lengths than Captain Toad thus, I purchased so.
I don’t want to spoil much (since Arlo doesn’t do that in the video), but towards the end of the Octo Expansion, I seriously forgot that Splatoon 2 was rated E10+ because of this one *_Specific scene_*
thebahooplamaster
What scene
thebahooplamaster heheh *that* scene
Broken Battery Productions Ohh. T H A T scene
I played the entire thing and there wasn't anything I wouldn't show to anybody under the age of 10
Daniel oof well when you realize exactly why *that* scene is so disturbing.. it's pretty bad
I clicked because i saw the words "donkey kong" and "expansion".
*I‘D SHOWER YOU WITH COCONUT CREAM PIES!*
There both really great games
EXPAND DONG
*BANANA SLAMA*
His coconut gun can fire in spurts
You forgot to give a numerical rating.
TEST FAILED.
[WUT] Magna
Nah, he didn't forget. He mentioned that he doesn't like rating DLC like that. Regardless, a 4 to 6 out of 7 would probably be his scores for both, based on his reviews.
*EXPLOSION*
He didn't give them the best score: 3 daruks out of tingle link.
I forget whoever says that failure thing, but I really really wanna punch em in the mouth.
I don’t think you can punch a c q. Dumber in the mouth but you can try 🧐
The DK DLC makes me hopeful that there may be an eventual *sequel* to Kingdom Battle (Which is definitely possible. This is rabbids we're talking about; when has continuity or plot ever stopped them?), involving even more characters to unlock, *including* the DLC characters from this time around. Heck, maybe even have it so you aren't *required* to have mario on your team at all times.
Though, now that I think about it... dear god that would get insane and possibly broken. I mean seriously; imagine Donkey Kong, Rabbid Cranky, and *Yoshi* all on the same team. *NOTHING WILL SURVIVE THAT*
Grey Rifter Rellik Maybe to balance it out, a player has to use a certain character or 2, there could be bonus challenges that play up the strengths of characters, or make it so you can't use the same team to win 2 levels in a row? I'm leaning towards the middle option.
I'll love a sequel :)
welp.
@@ye8853 I'm going to be honest.
I wasn't *actually* expecting it, and am now pleasantly surprised.
Though personally, I woulda hoped for the rabbids to invade different nintendo IPs as well. Same gameplay, but with completely different settings and characters
“DOUBLE REVIEW!!!! BAM BAM! LETS REVIEW THEM BOTH!!! WOOOSH!”
Arlo is so energetic and I love it
Splatoon Devs:
The DLC was made for Experienced players, casual players would have a hard time with It, thats why you can skip levels
Casual Player: AAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS TO HARD WHY????? I AM NOT HAVING FUN
I’m a casual player and I’m surprised I was able to beat all the 80 levels, while having to deal with stick drift. Though I haven’t gotten around to beating the secret boss yet.
I actually got the dlc with the game, and I beat the dlc before the main hero mode. Keep in mind I hadn’t played the first Splatoon either. Yeah, it was super hard, but it was one of the best gaming experiences I had. I’m still stuck on the secret boss thought. I don’t think I’ll beat it, since I won’t use the toothpick anyways
Buhgingo also that music though, hence why Splatoon 2 is in my top 5 favorite games of all time
RoboticMiner884 #14 Crush is one of the best by far, along with Nasty Majesty
@@buhgingo2933 did you beat the secret boss?
People : Wow games are far too easy now, I miss when games were difficult.
game forces you to use more than two braincells
People : THIS IS FAR TOO CHALLENGING 0/10.
i like challenge in games and octo expantion deliverd
most people just don't know what they want. you can't please anybody
I don't even think people can get away with calling it too hard because you can take different routes to avoid certain areas and you can just have Marina hack it for you. Nintendo went and pleased both casual and hardcore gamers at once
Octo Expansion isn't criticized because it's hard. It's because it's *downright fucking unfair* sometimes. I was okay with a harder challenge, not one that turns me into DSP.
There's a difference between a challenge and a game that makes you want to just skip the level and quit playing.
I found octo canyon boring and easy when the expansion was more of a challenge and exciting. I prefer the menus because revealing stages got old quick. Octo expansion was not boring or tedious for me at all.
Why does the intro make it seem like it's a Halloween special in the middle of July?...
Summerween?
Also Tim Curry
I was also thinking about Tim Curry!.........even when he dresses up as a clown and makes a joke about an Albert in a can.
I loved Octo Expansion, but the frickin final stage was the definition of “one mistake and you’re dead”. One tiny miss makes you restart. Once you finish it, it feels so good
That's funny to hear Arlo complain that Octo Expansion had him cautiously and slowly moving through levels and miss the Octo Canyon missions, because it's the exact opposite for me.
See, the Octo Canyon levels have one thing Octo Expansion levels don't - and that's hidden secrets. I absolutely LOATHE the nonsensical crates popping out of the ground in random spots when you splat it with ink - because with those, the game is telling me: "do not proceed through the stage until you've inked every last inch". As a result, it's the regular single player that I still haven't beaten. I gave up on it, because of how slow and tedious it was.
For me, it's the Octo Expansion levels that are short and sweet. No need to ink, no need to explore, there is one objective - go for it. Of course that's not to say certain stations weren't frustratingly difficult, but they were still fun and snappy - and there's always another route you can take to get to the thang if a certain level just ain't letting you through.
The secret final boss can octo my ling though. As far as I'm concerned, it's really a hack check - the players who have the item received after the secret boss are who Nintendo is going to ban, because that is not a winnable fight otherwise.
I totally agree with you about Octo canyon. It was super tedious to search every last nook and cranny for collectibles. I even stop to fight with the camera just to make sure there isn't some random scroll on a platform under the stage. I like the lack of collectibles in the expansion, but it is really hard and can get frustrating.
lol the secret boss just takes a lot of trial and error, and you have to be decent at the game. You have to make use of the terrain and cover and know when to back off to recover and when to attack.
The secret final boss is winnable. I beat it. It's not that bad.
eworm I know you were exaggerating for humor but the secret boss is definitely doable. It took me almost two hours granted, but I beat it eventually and I wouldn't say I'm amazing at the game or anything.
eworm the secret boss literally took me five hours of practice to beat. You can do it, it might just take a while.
I can see where you're coming from, but personally I enjoyed the expansion all the way through. It's not for everyone. Thanks for the vid! I really enjoyed seeing a new perspective, instead of seeing just another person exclusively praising it.
Personally, I find Octo Expansion to be the best part of Splatoon 2.
Octoling girl: Veemo
Inkling girl: Woomy
Both: WEEEEEEEEE!
I always hear "meemo" for some reason
Yep.
I like how they fused the 80s aesthetic with consoles from the early 2000s. They're reminding us that people are now nostalgically talking about the 00s just like they are with the 80s.
Arlo - you’re hands down my favorite Nintendo Brand Ambassador and game reviewer. Top notch comedy and spot on commentary. You’re a great role model and always look forward to your videos! Keep up the incredible work!
I misread the first part of the title as Octopath Traveler.
You're not alone.
Personally I feel that having a challenge to get a thang would feel too forced , don't forget that it's supposed to be a test , so there is nobody who needs to guard them , and often there is at least 1 really difficult level in the path that you choose.
Cleared all 80+ mem cakes and the final levels. I really like the octoling design and art. But seriously, that hidden boss is beyond my skills. I gave up on it.
Octo Expansion was something I was really unsure of because of the price, but it was totally worth it. So many fun (though tough-as-nails) levels, a lot of needed characterization given to Pearl and Marina (wtf I love Pearl now what happened), and an amazing final sequence.
Also got surprisingly dark. I can’t believe I didn’t see the big twist coming.
Every Arlo upload is just... amazing! Also best intro ever... You're awesome Alro!! Keep it up
Andree Newport No one of those was supposed to be also
* you’re
Martin Howser Yep, Thankyou for that I seemed to forget everything I've learned about grammar when I'm commenting on a RUclips video
Arlo made a double review, test successful
Arlo breathes
*TEST FAILED*
Eh, the way agent 8 becomes a good guy may feel a little contrived, but it also hearkens back to the campaign of the first game and relates to how Marina is also a good Octoling. They never fully explain it, but the implication is that the green Octarians are “sanitized” octarians (and octolings) that had to essentially be reconditioned after also hearing Calamari Inkantation. This is also what happened to dedf1ish, the octoling DJ who performs the music of the levels.
I thought the "sanitized" octarians were, SPOILERS, the octarians Tartar made from the blended up test subjects who were smart enough to pass.
That RHPS Reference will be lost on most of Arlo's audience XD
I got it! Mainly because my parents played the soundtrack all the time when I was little.
Move over Weird Al, Arlo is the new supreme song parodist.
My depression went away for a brief moment when hearing you sing.
Bless you Arlo.
Bless you.
seek therapy
😂
Im 99% sure that intro was a rocky horror picture show reference? If so, that's an interesting thing to see Arlo reference haha
it definitely is a rhps reference
Whatever happened to that Breath of the Wild review?
FanFusion Never gonna happen.
Uhh, I can't wait!
Godofpears Really? Wow, i guess i dont see the point lol. He's shared his thoughts already and the game is over a year old. But, hey, I'll let Arlo do what he wants haha
Here from the future. It’s three hours long and y’all need a bit of patience cough alibabatree cough
Butternut Squash? YES PLEASE!!!
0:24 What the armpits was that intro for and it is amazing to find out that you reviewing 2 game add-on in like, a million years.
The secret boss fight in octo expansion is Dark Souls af.
nah it’s ez
NiteXp lies
HeyYou 891
After seeing quite a few people play it, there is definitely a large minority of people who had no difficulty with the last boss.
I'm definitely not one of them, but they do exist
Dr . Wub How many rounds are there to it!? I've seen up to the 5th, how much longer must I suffer!?
common viewer I think it's just 5, inkjet, bubbles, tentamissles, autobomb rush, splashdown spam.
An Arlo Double Feature!?! WOW!!!
I never expected to see a Rocky Horror reference/parody in an Arlo video, and never realised how much I needed that in my life!
I find it really interesting that two amazing DLC (based off my experience) were only a week apart from each other! Both brought new and interesting ideas to the table, and are great examples of how big DLCs can be.
I loved octo expantion so much!
Im just sad that the ending was spoiled to me so i knew what was gonna happen but at the same time it was still fantastik!
I didnt realize it was 80's theme, how many more layers of 8 are in this?
But how was the calamari incantation thing cheap? I thought it was already implied thats why marina was good, that same reasoning applied to another octoling doesnt seem that farfetched.
I get Arlo's perspective though, I mean, a song that automatically turns bad guys good? I did expect a little more of a reason, but eh I'm not too worried about it. Splatoon has always been very music-based anyways.
But its not like it was out of nowhere. like you said its been music oriented for a while with dj octavio and all that.
the splatoon 2 story involved the calimari inkantation in the final boss
marina was implied to be changed for the same reason.
so to me it works because the world set it up as a possibility.
Fair enough.
Agent 8 has to get through 8 phases at the end through an 80’s style that could be 8 bit
Even when the octo expansion got really difficult, I always loved it and never rage quit.
Just gonna say this arlo: the reason that you go to all those stations is so that you can prove your worth to the giant blender and become goop for the cause of furthering the advancement of life on a squid ridden earth. That' explained, if a bit loosely, at the end of the main story of the expansion
Hey Arlo, a Captain Toad review would be Toad-ally awesome!...
I am not sorry
Tommy Ruggeri Loved it!
-----> The door is that way.
I am
Arlo talking about the Octo Expansion: This is too hard!
Arlo talking about the Donkey Kong Adventure story: This is too easy!
Arlo talking about the Donkey Kong Adventure challenges: This is impossible!
Okay, make up our mind, buddy.
"Tim Curry as Captain Cuttlefish"
*The thought of that old squid/man in lingerie singing "Sweet Transvestite" with Callie and Marie at his side is going to haunt my nightmares forever.*
I think the 80’s thing is supposed to be contributing to the Octo Expansion’s main theme, which is “Old Technology”. It’s also why there are Gamecubes and stuff floating around in the levels.
Being an avid Splatoon 2 player, I pre-ordered the Octo Expansion and don't regret it one bit. I found the Hero Mode to be a bit lacking in challenge and depth, but Octo paid that back in spades. Just about every level was a very reasonable challenge for me and had enough variety to them that I never got tired of them. It was enough for me to actually go back and replay the levels with other weapons, which I never felt the desire to do with Hero Mode. 80 levels is a lot, but each of them managed to feel reasonable and unique (Girl Power Station can go get bent, though).
I also liked the darker atmosphere of Octo, and while the story wasn't Shakespeare, I felt there was still a greater sense of purpose to the story than Splatoon has had in the past. Even the little things, like Pearl's and Marina's banter and the Mem Cakes, added an extra something for me. It's amazing how much content is here for $20.
I'm a little surprised that Arlo didn't mention the ability to skip levels after failing them a certain number of times. I wouldn't say it totally removes the frustration, but it's there if you start losing your patience.
This. if you are playing splatoon 1 year after its launch, you will enjoy it. heck I even imported the soundtrack!
11:20 That's "a lot of damage"
I don't even play video games but still watch every video Arlo uploads. That's how awesome he is.
I really appreciate how you articulated your grievances with the difficulty spikes in Octo Expansion, because I feel exactly the same way! I was legitimately making myself depressed because I couldn't beat some of those insane levels. I have no idea how others pull it off. I still love the Expansion, though...
I need more Arlo hot takes! Wanna see those dope opinions on your respective interests.
Is it just me or does Arlo seem more animated as of late?
I can't believe I never saw this video, the intro alone, so worth
THE ROCKY HORROR INTRO THO
Arlo, you have my heart, you little blue man.
Wooshi its a double DLC exploshi
This video was too spooky for me. I was just terrified the entire time...
Ok, Argo? That washing machine just teleported everyone a long ways away, and they time traveled back. There is no alternate universe.
Although I do agree with your questions about the other creatures in the subway, it is revealed later on why you had to face all of these trials by the telephone that isn’t just the “promise land”
One additional comment about the '80s vibe they use?
... 80s. EIght-ies. Octo.
That's why.
Octo Expansion was a bit too hard.
Donkey Kong Adventure was a bit too easy.
But I bet some SMO DLC would be _JUST_ right!
Somehow, knowing you like Rocky Horror and synthwave makes me love you even more, Arlo :)
cant wait for my rabbids dlc! looks awesome. thank you for your original review of rabbids. I had no clue about it until I saw it on your channel and its one of the best games on my switch (of which I have a lot) anyways thanks! and keep up the killer content and giving voice to some great games that are a little unheard of
woah i got notified even tho its unlisted.
MrPogostyc ist not unlisted
*It's a double Arlowooshi Revieshyy*
Slenderfoxx37 WOAHSHI
Best Intro in history!! Thanks for that lovely reference Arlo :D
Well, this is the first video of yours to my memory that left me cackling like a madman to the point of lightheadedness within the first 20 seconds!
Butternut Squash?
Yeetus that foetus
I love when you bring music into your videos :) you just did it again in your let's play windwaker finale and it was awesome and don't get me started on the hits of ocarina of time 😂😂
What an intro for a DLC review. Great video!
HELLO MY DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT CREATOR.
Logan Daniel Woah! I know you!
:O
"weird and interesting junk"
*junk*
**shows gamecube**
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (jk great reviews. :) )
lol. What sucks is that even I think it's disc are trash when scratched.
That clip of the crate challenge with the charger and the fish that blow up @ 8:51 where you missed one crate that was inked broke my heart because I know how difficult that level is and have raged a lot because of it...
I absolutely LOVED the Octo Expansion. I'm a huge fan of Splatoon 2 so getting it was a no brainer. I kind of turned off that sense of plot holes that Arlo has and just enjoyed hopping around each level and completing the challenges. In do agree that some are a bit too painstakingly difficult, and some are so easy you breeze through them in one go, but most for me reached the in between perfectly. I also thought the gear given to you for each set of mem cakes you acquire was a pretty good way for people to take their time and experience all of the levels they worked so hard on. I also thought that it does a really good job of teaching you the weapons you're given so you can make the most out of their very creative puzzles. About the Rabbids DLC, I didn't buy it because I don't absolutely love Mario and Rabbids like a lot of other people. I can't say anything about it
Soooo rabbids in yoshi island next
Maddox Bellrose Rabbids in Wario Land?
Geschnitzte Kiste
Rabbids in mario galaxy next
Oh, I'm now downloadable?
I hope to see more DLC reviews. These are just as good as your regular game reviews.
Arlo, you won my like for that intro, without a doubt you are the best blue monster ever!
I feel like Arlo didn't complete the expansion... seriously surprised how much he didn't notice. And I'm fine if you didn't enjoy it, just.. you missed and misunderstood alot.
Wait I just notice a really dark joke in Splatoon
Ok the name of the news host are Pearl and Marina
Now if you do not know a Marina is a harbor put the two names together
Pearl Harbor
And no it is not a coincidence because in the first game if you put the two news host together you will get Calamari
Arlo NEEDS to sing in intros way more often, because that was amazingly awesome
Octo Expansion is basically a glorified Mission Mode. It's a bunch of short bite-sized challenges that range from incredibly easy to frustatingly hard, and that distincts it from Octo Canyon. Ending is absolutely amazing, but some of its storytelling contradicts the base game, as much of Nintendo's DLC does. Definetely buy if you enjoy the Splatoon franchise but it probably won't change the minds of those who don't.
Xnaut314 Hey xnaut am going to get Octo expansion and DK adventure next week is it worth getting?
Kirby the Artist I gave my 2 cents on Octo Expansion, so yes if you enjoy the Splatoon franchise and want more content, but no if you only ever play whenever a Splatfest is active and don't care about playing as an Octoling online. DK Adventure feels like an extra chapter of Mario&Rabbids with about a Chapter 2 difficulty, since that's the soonest the DLC can be activated in a new file. If you like to constantly shuffle the partner characters with each match then unlocking DK and Rabbid Cranky Kong is worth your while, but if you usually stick to using one or two distinct team setups it may not be worth it in the end.
Xnaut314 Okay, thanks for the heads up I really appreciated it.
Arlo complaining about the elements of Octo Expansion that I loved and making it sound way harder than I found found it. It's the only good single player content in Splatoon in my opinion. The base single player is super boring to me
Complains about game being to easy because of movement... wants to include swings and minecarts for everyone so they can move even more...
Arlo you made me cry with the intro. I seriously love you.
Mario + Rabbids and Splatoon in a single video.
...I just wish the two were smooshed together like this in a single game because I can't help but think the Splatoon mechanics would work well in a turn based tactical shooter.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I think I’m first
And so do you
TheMinecraftMan820 nah I knew I was fourth.
SPOILERS (kinda)
Tbh the levels were more enjoyable rather then difficult. (except for the box breaking and girl power station) I didnt have many troubles with the expansion and I am slightly disappointed with nintnedo. But overall, the playable octolings, free clothes, and infinite specials made up for the disappointment
Meat Loaf as Marina: The casting decision we've all longed for
This RHPS Homage in the beginning made me like this video in a blink of an eye
You made my night :3
Donkey Kong Adventure is better than octo expansion. Fight me.
1 word: Veemo
Oomie! >:(
ThePizzaBox I will
I respect your wrong opinion.
Restart cant have a wrong opinion. However you can have a bad opinion.
Basically this review:
