Straight up. I had Octo Expansion ptsd from a few of the missions. I distinctly remember a level that was a timetrial, full of ink you couldn't touch without being insta-killed, and you got one curling bomb per checkpoint to get through each section. Literally just, Octo Expansion again. I was so happy to find a level I couldn't beat. Lol
Started playing and right from the first match people were noticably more competent than what they were in the splatfest. Also frick the game for eating nearly 2x the battery compared to Splatoon 2
Lol there's a lot of inspiration, for example that Moai Statue mission where you cover it in ink is totally taken from the Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion finally, and a Mario Sunshine one that will be seen later
Funny enough, that glitch at the beginning has been known for a little while now! Amazing to watch him swim along the left side and just *know* we’re about to witness his first reaction.
This is from the wiki "Agent 3 is the codename given to the player character of Splatoon 3 by Craig Cuttlefish in Alterna. This makes them and Smallfry the newest members of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. They notably share the title with the series' first playable character, Agent 3 from Splatoon. This is due to the previous Agent 3 being promoted to Captain, leaving the position of Agent 3 open for recruits."

@@jordanrichardson2367 bro it’s implied that little buddy creates world peace and I’m pretty sure that the only reason they said Big man’s a villain is because that’s literally shown in the video.
For the "cover the Moai" level, I didn't see the giant Moai in the middle and instead thought that I needed to paint all of the outside edges. That was a waste of time
Fun fact: those eye platforms that show you a view of something also outline hidden treasure things so you know where to look without waiting on small fry to alert you of them
Splatoon story level design looks like those ethereal void-space bonus levels in Super Mario Sunshine, it has that very specific vibe that just kind of radiates "bad time" which is why I have had no interest in playing Splatoon 2 despite having access to it for over a year
Can’t wait for the old Agent 3 to save the new Agent 3 in an ex machina… man how are people going to refer to these two now? Captain 3? It’s kind of similar to Captain Cuttlefish… god this is gonna be confusing.

Not just 2; of both of Splatoon’s single player main stories (other than Octo Expansion).

@@zebraroll2037 Same, I dont mind a challenge, but Octo Expansion was definitely anxiety inducing.
When I went through the campaign, I couldn't wait for other people to react to the whole "you failed = smited from above" trope
Nah but I was lost for likely far longer in that switch level. Competence is a gift bestowed upon the non-youtuber.
Started playing and right from the first match people were noticably more competent than what they were in the splatfest.
Also frick the game for eating nearly 2x the battery compared to Splatoon 2
Mine’s the opposite lol, playing sploon 2 drains my battery, 3 doesn’t.
