I was thinking this game looked exactly like splatoon 2 until i saw locker mode and now I realize these guys have absolutely revolutionized gaming once again
Splatoon will never match the quality of Splatoon 1 ever again. That game was the peak era - and sadly I don't think that era will be ever topped; I don't see myself playing a future game in the series.
This is like a rollercoaster of irony, I don't understand how Dunkey does it but I love it. It goes from being extremely ironic to non ironic then ironic again seamlessly
Irony isnt the same thing as sarcasm, and this video is sarcastic irony is something you usually cant do on purpose and its something that someone else notices about you, like for example it would be ironic if dunkey absolutely hated some game but one day would make a game himself just like it
I never play shooters, but this is the best shooting game ever made and I've played them all and I haven't even played this yet. Such a great line thank you Dunkey.
@@JoeJoe-ju3zi It's not just kills, you get gold medals for playing the objective the most, most kills, most assists, etc If you're great, you can get all 3. It's indicative of being a good player.

All of the best things in life come in threes. Spider-Man three just happens to be the finest installment in the Spider-Man trilogy. Xenoblade three stands out from its former games by breaking the mold and setting the standard for video gaming of the future. Shenmue 3 was by far the most fleshed out and enjoyable of the series. Dark souls three was the easiest of the souls games and proves easier video games are what draws a consumer in. And all the best games are revealed in cinamatic trailers at e3. Splat on three is no exception. Challenging what it means to be a shooter by adding tilt controls and a fun artistic art style not seen in any of the previous titles. This bold games dares to break the entire gaming industry with a constant flow of new and improved ideas not tried by any previous game Nintendo has put out yet. Threes will always be the perfect number which guides the very universe we live in, which is why we will anxiously await the arrival of Lego Star Wars three: revenge of mentis
You made a terrible mistake there. You forgot Goat Simulator 3, which proves that 3 is so powerful that they made Goat Simulator 3 without even having made Goat Simulator 2.
He's broken through too many layers of abstraction. Dunkey now exists within the realm of metaphor and allegory. Scholars will look at this video as the catalyst for the evolution of human consciousness
Love how he switches between footage from all 3 Splatoon games at random. I'm sure people who haven't played all 3 like me missed it, but it is a nice funny either way. :p
dunkey's doing a lot with this one. He's trying to review splatoon, parody the online discourse around console favoritism, talk about value for money in particular and address his recent JRPG controversy all in 4 minutes while also performing the whole thing as a character
@@arielgomez7131 yeah but the way splatoon works is you get medals for different things you do farming kills only gets you one medal, clearing the objective the most is another medal
When splatoon 3 was playing on the radio when I was born, I knew this was the game to knock playstation and xbox off the map. I loved this game and I played it all the time. Definitely in my top 3 splatoon games I want to play eventually
You were listening to adult themed radio since you were born? Those splashing and squirting noises oughtta have messed you up bro, my condelences. Well, still better than growing up to K'nack3!
I love how for each example of the games he’s talking about, all of them had different game footage shown that are quite similar but not to the extent that they are completely unrecognizable.
The fact Nintendo, a company that was mostly focused on Coop or solo play, can make a better match making system than Battlefield or Call of Duty depresses me of how incompetent DICE and Activision are.
@@rainkid5226 True the matchmaking is some of the worst I've seen ever. CoD matchmaking craps on Platoon 3 so idk what the last Cod Civil here actually played. Maybe 2?
The only thing I can actually gleam from this masterpiece of a video is that Splatoon 3 just came out and literally nothing else. Honestly just so lost here and I love it.
Sorry, but I need to spread this crackpot theory and am copypasting. People think he didn't like Xenoblade 3 and was being mean about it, even though all he really did was complain about the admittedly horrible battle dialogue. Besides that there in this video that he finished Xenoblade 2 and is aware of certain late game plot developments of Xenoblade 1.
Year late but uh Splatoon 3 ranking system based And the rest is literally identical, but the team icons at the top of the screen that show whether your an octo or squid just look worse.
Dunkey is genuinely the most consistently inconsistent creator and it’s absolutely perfect. Each video is so goofy but Dunkey is a bigger and better gamer than all of us
Getting ranked up even if your teammates throw is actually a great system. All the people in high ranks are actually above average players and not just people who got lucky on the 50/50
Sounds like a skill issue, people don't lose because of bad teams, they lose because they aren't squid enough to carry a team. They should do better or hold the L quietly.
Even if people “get lucky on the 50/50,” if they play more they will eventually get back down. 50/50s get closer to 50/50 the more you sample them. Plus, if they rank farther than where they should be it won’t be a 50/50 anymore because they are a detriment to their team
this is actually a really awesome video, it really emulates the unique vibes of classic dunkey videos with its editing and script, while remaining really unique and consistently, energetically funny. and yet it doesn't feel pretentious, really awesome style here i love it
This is easily the best dunky video of all time, easily proven with these 3 factoids 1. It’s perfect 2. I haven’t even SEEN it yet, and I know it’s perfect 3. The third entry into a series is always the best, splatoon 3, xenoblade 3, dunky’s splatoon 3 video.
I think that he thinks the game is good and has a tad of innovation with the ranked system, but overall thinks it's just Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 1 again In other words, he doesn't like how it's not exceptionally different from previous entries
@@peco595 That's easy to assume as it has always been the point of criticism with Splat3, thing is dunkey didn't like Splatoon 2 nor 1 that much to begin with so obviously that'd be his opinion
@@MrDiana1706 I'm sure he recognizes that the games are good even if he doesn't like them else he wouldn't have any praise at all, especially about something you need to play the game more to appreciate like with the ranked system
I feel like he's dunking on the people who got mad about Xenoblade spoilers, and also doesn't like the game. But he probably cares so little about the game he didn't feel like making a serious video about it
It’s really easy to tell 1 and anything but 1 apart because the graphics are different, and then because I play a lot of splatoon I can tell the difference between 2 and 3 but if you’re playing on the same maps and don’t pay attention to the UI they look pretty similar
When i started playing splatoon 3 i was taken aback by the graphics of the octopus. The suckers felt so real. At that moment, it hit me, i was in front of a masterpiece which could never be surpassed. Im so glad to have my xbox so i can enjoy it with my friends.

They have to make sure players are not incentivized to lose matches so that they can show better performance for individual rank. That's a problem you face with individual vs team goals. A simple example is quitting a match because you think a lost match isn't as bad as losing personal rank.
@@kittenburger_prime fortunately, the game doesn't reward you anything for intentionally losing or DCing. in fact starting from A or S, you legit have to cooperate with your teammates and win or it'll be really difficult to rank up any further

What truly makes this an important and historic video games is that the Queen never got to play it. So close yet so far away. Truly Shakespearean levels of tragedy.
You know, Dunkey never leaves any part of his opinion to the imagination. You come out of watching his reviews and you know exactly how he feels about a game. Heck, I bet he actually owns the game this time
First Splatoon game and honestly loved it more than I ever thought I would. Shoutout to the announcer lady on that 30 minute preview video. Watched it two days before launch and no plans to check it out!
“I don’t ever play shooters, but Splatoon 3 is the best shooting game ever made, and I’ve played them all. And I haven’t even played it yet.” I love this man
"I don't ever play shooters, they suck, but Splatoon 3 is the best shooting game ever made, and I've played them all, and I haven't even played it yet". Genius.
This one is fr a masterpiece man, I can't tell if you're actually writing these as jokes or just reading random Twitter comments at this point & I love every second of it. Also noticed a different tone and cadence on this one, like a whole new level of sarcasm has been achieved here lol
yeah honestly fully agree, been playing Splatoon 3 for about 3 weeks straight and I'm blown away by the graphics, the sheer amount of content, the guns, the 4k textures, ray tracing, the roguelike mode where you need to collect paint buckets or you run out of paint and die. I could talk about its positives for hours on end and thats before I've even downloaded it
1:40 you know, he’s not even off that far. Splatoon 3 actually sold around a third of that (3.45 million to be exact) on launch. And that’s just in JAPAN. Making it the best launch day in video game history in Japan
@@Mirage475 The series is incredibly popular in Japan so sales will definitely be much higher there than anywhere else. But I still have no doubt it's going to be the best selling game in the series, considering that far more people own Switches now than back in 2017 when Splat 2 came out.
@@gaitocalico It's so freaking popular that even my non-gaming wife wanted it, so we imported a Japanese copy to play together. (I know, Switch is region free, but for some reason, you can't play in Japanese with Splatoon unless you buy that region's copy for some reason).
I've been telling my friends about splatoon for so long and they just won't go. It's such a game of time. It was made like just play it. It has buttons and characters come on
there are people that doesn't get what a good gameplay mechanic is. they rather play the same weapon than everyone else in cod because it's meta, they just wanna bother other players instead of having fun.
I've been begging my mom for this game since the early Nintendo Genesis era, but she wouldn't buy it for me unless Dunkey reviewed it. Finally, I can experience this classic gem. Just wish they had released it to the Gameboy like the rest of the trilogy.
Splatoon 3 has changed my life. Before playing this game, I had lost both arms and half of my right leg and I only had $3 and a burnt sock to my name. After playing this game, I have grown all of my limbs back and am a multi trillion-air. Videogamedunkey’s review is spot on in my humble opinion, and I believe that this small channel could see some serious growth if he keeps up a trend of reviewing games such as this.
Several years ago I lost my wife and three beautiful children when several Xbox players broke into my house, high on G fuel, yelling 360 no scope. I have been a shell of a man ever since but now, seeing locker mode, and the mysterious gun unlocked at level 25, I can finally start picking g up the pieces of my shattered life. Thanks Splatoon 3 for giving me hope!
I always knew there was something sinister, darker, more mature lurking under The Dunk's facade. Now I know that it's okay to play Splatoon 3. Thanks, Dunk.
i love ringabell from xenoverse chronicles 3 she is my favorite protag and im so glad you finally made a call of duty infinite review to showcase her pompadour. Love you stunkey keep up the god vids

@@_Wakaz_ is this a troll comment or are you rly a puritan
locker mode is technically two modes because you can decorate both the inside and the outside of the locker
Actually 3 modes (for Splatoon 3). The third is looking at other people's lockers.
@@samengsberg875 actually 4 modes, the forth one is looking at everyone's closed lockers including yours at a same time.

The key word here seems to be ironic :)
Now imagine how good of a youtuber he would have been if he actually existed.

Exactly, that seems like a genius feature that will reduce frustation.
What do you mean? I see no memes here. It's all a genuine review of Splatoon 3
i dont play splatoon but for most games if they start prioritizing kills damage whatever over winning that would not be good for competitive play.

They have to make sure players are not incentivized to lose matches so that they can show better performance for individual rank. That's a problem you face with individual vs team goals. A simple example is quitting a match because you think a lost match isn't as bad as losing personal rank.
@@kittenburger_prime fortunately, the game doesn't reward you anything for intentionally losing or DCing. in fact starting from A or S, you legit have to cooperate with your teammates and win or it'll be really difficult to rank up any further
I Can't Believe You Forgot To Mention The Minigame Where You Have To Sign Little Buddy's Adoption Papers Or Else SeaP.S. Will Take Them Away Forever And You'll Be Unable To Finish Hero Mode.
No one noticing that most of the clips were from splatoon 2 is the biggest diss on nintendo here
What truly makes this an important and historic video games is that the Queen never got to play it. So close yet so far away. Truly Shakespearean levels of tragedy.
She played an advance copy on her golden Wii 15 years ago, bucko
Not funny, dude.
The Queen *of Engerland you mean 😊
@@Tokiko 163 people disagree
You know, Dunkey never leaves any part of his opinion to the imagination. You come out of watching his reviews and you know exactly how he feels about a game. Heck, I bet he actually owns the game this time
Haven't even played it yet. Classic.
'i remember when i played that game Octopus Traveler' *shows bravely default II*
This is like if you ask an AI to make a review for Splatoon 3 and it just keeps going. I love it.
First Splatoon game and honestly loved it more than I ever thought I would. Shoutout to the announcer lady on that 30 minute preview video. Watched it two days before launch and no plans to check it out!
SHE NEEDS A RAISE SHE LITERALLY GOT ME SO HYPED LMAO
Whats the link to the video?
“I don’t ever play shooters, but Splatoon 3 is the best shooting game ever made, and I’ve played them all.
And I haven’t even played it yet.”
I love this man
Sony must have hired dunk to make merchandise for Cartoon 3
20 years ago, I told my friends that splatoon 3 would be the greatest shooter ever made. Now Dunkey finally confirms it. I couldn’t be happier
When captain shulk finally said, “it’s pizza time”, I got goosebumps. Incredible game.
Did Shulk twerk with Megan Thee Stallion?
@@youtubesucks1821 of course it happened. Specifically in chapter 7.
Fake fan alert
@@youtubesucks1821 No you racist buffoon. He twerked with Tony the Frosted Flakes.
"You owe me a pizza." - Captain Shulk
he didn't say that
Really nice of dunkey to adjust the prices for inflation as each minute passes
having a dreadful day, this gave me a much needed laugh. thanks dunkey.
Dunkey is a kid, a squid and a dunkey; all at the same time. Amazing.
Don't forget hippopotamus
The 3 in "squidgame 3" stands for the holy trinity that is dunkey
I believe he is also an African American
Also an octopus now thanks to splatoon 3
"I don't ever play shooters, they suck, but Splatoon 3 is the best shooting game ever made, and I've played them all, and I haven't even played it yet".
Genius.
This sounds like something Xavier Renegade Angel would say
This one is fr a masterpiece man, I can't tell if you're actually writing these as jokes or just reading random Twitter comments at this point & I love every second of it.
Also noticed a different tone and cadence on this one, like a whole new level of sarcasm has been achieved here lol
yeah honestly fully agree, been playing Splatoon 3 for about 3 weeks straight and I'm blown away by the graphics, the sheer amount of content, the guns, the 4k textures, ray tracing, the roguelike mode where you need to collect paint buckets or you run out of paint and die. I could talk about its positives for hours on end and thats before I've even downloaded it
The hilarious part is that he's actually not too far off with that 10million.
The game sold 3.5 million copies this weekend in Japan alone.
It's 4.5 million now
I don't even know Japan has that many people.
@@sparklydavid they have 50 mill or so
@@heckoff7904 That's 45.5 million units left to be sold.
@@UrFriendXD and they will be
1:40 you know, he’s not even off that far. Splatoon 3 actually sold around a third of that (3.45 million to be exact) on launch. And that’s just in JAPAN. Making it the best launch day in video game history in Japan
If that’s Japan alone then that’s actually insanity to imagine how well it’s doing everywhere else
@@Mirage475 You don't know how insane Japan can be. This game is not a game. It's a literal culture of Japanese.
@@Mirage475 The series is incredibly popular in Japan so sales will definitely be much higher there than anywhere else. But I still have no doubt it's going to be the best selling game in the series, considering that far more people own Switches now than back in 2017 when Splat 2 came out.
@@gaitocalico It's so freaking popular that even my non-gaming wife wanted it, so we imported a Japanese copy to play together. (I know, Switch is region free, but for some reason, you can't play in Japanese with Splatoon unless you buy that region's copy for some reason).
@@TayoEXE You can also play it in JP if you buy digital
Best one so far, and i heard trough my secret source that you may also get the game itself if you pay 300$.. i dont know too much rumors going on
this was such a rollercoaster, I have no idea where he stands with splatoon 3 lmaoo
I've been telling my friends about splatoon for so long and they just won't go. It's such a game of time. It was made like just play it. It has buttons and characters come on
there are people that doesn't get what a good gameplay mechanic is. they rather play the same weapon than everyone else in cod because it's meta, they just wanna bother other players instead of having fun.
I love the part where splatoon 3 says “what are we now some kind of splatoon?”
It just goes to show that splatoon 3 is one of the games ever made
No it not
I loved when Big Man said his catchfrase "It's Big Man time"
wow how original. you are so funny.
Gotta say that "Splatoon or Raccoon" was a bit odd considering there's no raccoon whatsoever in the game but still catchy af
@@hindelsoft4650 jealous?
Sometimes your sarcasm goes so far over my head it hits the World Trade Centers.
For me, it hits the Pentagon
Rumor has it the third mystery weapon dunkey hasn't unlocked yet is a strand type weapon
I've been begging my mom for this game since the early Nintendo Genesis era, but she wouldn't buy it for me unless Dunkey reviewed it. Finally, I can experience this classic gem. Just wish they had released it to the Gameboy like the rest of the trilogy.
When Morgan said "I love you Splatoon 3000" I cried all the way to the bank
Now if they have Squid Kid say "this map sucks my ass 3000" it will be the perfect game
@@redgyrados2000 agreed
Truly correct when that did SpiltToons 3 makes me cried tears of blood
Dunkey not quite being able to stifle a laughter when talking about the story of Xenoblade 3 is what really elevates this review.
For only $500 this New York style game has it all. Definitely one of the video games of all time, thank you Dunkey!
One of the video games of all time 😂
@@r0conscious Truly a video game of all time
Splatoon 3 has changed my life. Before playing this game, I had lost both arms and half of my right leg and I only had $3 and a burnt sock to my name. After playing this game, I have grown all of my limbs back and am a multi trillion-air. Videogamedunkey’s review is spot on in my humble opinion, and I believe that this small channel could see some serious growth if he keeps up a trend of reviewing games such as this.
Hey daddy 🤪
Ikr this UA-cam guy is good hope he gets the recognition he deserves
This is exactly the comment I was looking for
Love you dunkey was waiting for this video.
Dunkey: *talks mainly about Splatoon 3*
Also Dunkey: *uses video clips from Splatoon 1 and 2*
I think we’re just witnessing dunkey’s decent into madness
Just like suicide mouse? Please, no!
@@agamehd1332 ¡DEAR GOD, NO!
More like ascent. The man is the content king, babyyyy
at this point he's ascending cause we've seen him down there for a while now
You say this as if he hasn't been making videos this insane since the channel started
I was dead, and then I started playing splatoon 3 and I came back to life. What else is there to say, masterpiece.
“And I haven’t even played it yet.”
How the turn tables.
The problem I face right now is that Dunkeys sarcasm can be soo good, that I genuenly don't know how good the game is...
game is utter garbage mate 💀💀
I think the games good
Several years ago I lost my wife and three beautiful children when several Xbox players broke into my house, high on G fuel, yelling 360 no scope. I have been a shell of a man ever since but now, seeing locker mode, and the mysterious gun unlocked at level 25, I can finally start picking g up the pieces of my shattered life. Thanks Splatoon 3 for giving me hope!
lmao
I always knew there was something sinister, darker, more mature lurking under The Dunk's facade. Now I know that it's okay to play Splatoon 3. Thanks, Dunk.
"Octopus Traveler" and shows Bravely Default II. 15/10... best gaming journalism this decade.
Funiest part is that half of the clips are from splatoon 2 and probably most of the people didn't notice
Splatoon 3 has really turned out be the type of game that you play when you want to play a game like Splatoon 3
It's honest reviews like this that keeps my confidence high in Dunkey and our democracy. The fabric of our society is going to be a-okay.
Saw that super Mario sunshine 2 image and nearly passed out. One day it will be real
0:08 Layers Of Fear music, very good taste
okay but that ranking system idea is really awesome and i wish every ranked ladder applied it
If everything comes better in 3's, IMAGINE HOW AMAZING KNACK 3 WILL BE!
I hope we'll see Knack 3 on the next Atari Direct of Play
Now Knack 3, _that's_ gonna be the one.
i love ringabell from xenoverse chronicles 3 she is my favorite protag and im so glad you finally made a call of duty infinite review to showcase her pompadour. Love you stunkey keep up the god vids
i love the Bravely Default II gameplay for Octopath Traveler
