They forced us to pay a subscription to play the game, and they still made it p2p instead of paying money to be server based. It was a really shameful decision.
@@Chase247 Nintendo is notoriously known for being slow with the times.They finally added an Ethernet port to the OLED Dock.I don't see online improving until next system unfortunately
I get frustrated when people defend it since it's cheaper than PS/Xbox. But at least you know you're going to have a much better experience there. I think they make an estimated $500M+ a year on NSO subscriptions alone so it's sad they can't reinvest even just a portion of that.
I was once killed by an S-Blast shot that was fired 30 seconds prior to it actually killing me. Easily the most "WHAT WAS THAT" moment I've had in the game.
Or worse: One or more players disconnected recently after the battle began. Players who got disconnected will be assigned a loss, but remaining players will not be assigned a loss. Or the worst: One or more players you joined disconnected. You will be assigned a loss.
Or my absolute favorite; win a game -> get a disconnect on results screen -> awarded a loss -> 10 minute ban and a message saying something along the lines of "you disconnected, check your connection" 💀
And said game probably had a budget of less than 75 million likely a lot less. Just because a company is worth a billion dollars doesn’t mean a billion dollars or even a quarter of that is going into every thing they make.
@rexthewolf3149 no game from Nintendo that is one of there heavy hitters has a 70 million dollar budget. And even then, the servers are from Nintendo directly not from the splatoon budget
@@mrmelonman2893 and even then consider Nintendos hardware is ten years behind, their server’s infrastructure is probably the same. Keep in mind Battlefield 4 from 2013 had the option to run on either 30 or 60hz servers.
In the friday vs saturday vs sunday splatfest, there was this one game where the one tetra player was lagging SO FREAKING MUCH. I got killed by him and somehow he got killed too, and when he respawned he immediately used a reefslider (that he somehow had charged) that took him from spawn, all the way to mid, without exploding. Then i was able to "splat" him, but before that, he randomly just started flying and stayed in the air for like 3 seconds, and disconnected.
Even with a fast LAN connection, I still get communication errors. Especially annoying in anarchy series or X battle, where it awards me a loss and a 10 minute ban for something that wasn’t my fault.
I love how in 2024 I can get matched with 7 japanese people in a lobby while being in latin america and get killed by seemingly nothing, very functional game
I love it when I dodge roll behind cover and then get splatted anyway by an Eliter that landed a shot where I was over half a second ago. It's always the Eliters.
Bahaha happened to me literally like an hour ago 😂 the worst thing is that you end up getting used to these problems that they almost feel normal now, just like rules of the game
The fact that hammer would be good if the spinny thing at 3:18 was real is hilarious to me. Like legitimately, you wouldn't die and you'd be a devastating threat. I burst into laughter watching this montage
If I had to give a reason why I quit this game for a long while, it's because of the shitty fucking netcode, I got so tilted by disconnecting after a match that I WON fair and square, and it counted against me.
That’s so real. I can’t count how many rm games I’ve played that ended in the whole thing getting nuked as the final checkpoint was broken. Like we won and then I get kicked and blamed for it; so unfair!
Absolutely amazing montoge lol it was so great! I hate that we are forced to pay $20 for no reason to use "online services" when they don't have servers for us to play matches on even... giving us "free" old nintendo games that most of us probably don't care about is no excuse I will always remember that for a moment, we played Splatoon 2 without paying an extra $20 💔
The saddest part about this is that once you get disconnected from a laggy match like that, the game blames YOU for having bad internet and assigns you a lose...
I had a match once in TC where the tower refused to move for at least 15 seconds during overtime when my team was just a few points away from winning. We lost while I never left the tower. So I reviewed the replay- *apparently* someone on the enemy team was right next to me the whole time contesting it, and we were both standing around unable to see or interact with each other. Guaranteed loss. Felt *lovely*
It’s genuinely insane that Splatoon 3 was so successful and yet they do the bare minimum for it. Online for Splatoon 3 should be free cause this is ridiculous
I assume at least part of it is the fact that we're running a fast paced 4v4 shooter, where the ground is constantly changing (inking), running the entire thing on a 2015 era mobile CPU that is less powerful than most people's smartphones. Then making it even worse by having one of those same CPUs also act as a bloody server WHILE PLAYING THE MATCH. There's an excellent reason that most servers do nothing except serve.
I remember one time I lost an anarchy series to lag in S+. I had splatted all of the opposing team members, and then the rainmaker counter started moving ahead of where the rainmaker actually was, and we lost when we couldn't do anything about it.
Yeah, I'm old, been playing muilti-player FPS since dial-up. Peer-to-peer was the best option 15-20 years ago. There should be no need for it now. Switch 2/Splatoon 4 better be using dedicated servers.
It really feels like the netcode is the biggest problem with the game. That and atrocious matchmaking make the game feel almost unplayable, and I can only imagine do a lot to turn people away from playing
One time I threw 2 burst bombs in an aero sprays face and got a direct blast shot, and never got the kill the whole game, but the aero spray killed me every time it should have been the other way around.
During the last splatfest,3 hours were left in it so I was hoping for an 100X battle...I received 24 disconnects in total and got a very lucky 70 minute ban at the end and was only able to do 1 match
I've been playing splatoon 1 a fair bit the last few days and omg it feels so much better to play than in 3. Played some Splat 3 with friends last night and had to stop because it felt unplayable
I've directed someone with a Range Blaster shot and he didn't die. I did a double take and had to rewatch the footage. From his perspective, he DID get hit because the shot stopped prematurely and he somehow took **NO DAMAGE!!** not even indirect. That's how I know it's some Lag BS
to be fair, peer to peer works out when the netcode is done properly, but nintendo's prioritises keeping the connection up for everybody more than keeping the game fair, which is why laggy players affect lobbies so much and have so many unfair advantages
Also, I feel like part of the problem is the Switch hardware. It seems like the Switch as a system just has more connection issues than other devices. Hopefully this is something Nintendo addresses in their next console generation!
Thanks for this, equally hilarious and painful to watch :') it's frustrating to be on wired + fast connection, and still get those awkward 3-second-delayed "trades"...
I just got a clip the other day on a Tower Control battle where i killed this Custom Blaster who shot in a different direction, 2 seconds later, i went to that direction and died from a Direct hit when they were already dead. Costed me a loss in a Series because of it.
when i get lag and kill the enemy first they end up killing me a second later even though they’re literally dead, then i see their character phasing in and out of the spawn box lol
7:22 onwards. I had that same experience happen during... I think my first two weeks of playing, give or take. It was with a roller against me while I was jumping away. And, yeah, to all the people bringing up the paid subscription thing, this is just a mess.
craziest lobby nuke ive ever had happen that ive survived (ive survived most since i got an Ethernet cord) was the entire enemy team and 2 of my teammates disconnecting but i feel like this is more common then i realize me and my one surviving teammate just spammed booyah and painted the map on rainmaker for the next 4 minutes
I want to know what canonically happens when someone dcs from a match Are there just occasionally inklings and octolings vanishing into thin air and being erratically flung around all over the place?
Notice how over half the clips have a sloshing machine in them? I swear to god that's has been the laggiest weapon in the game since neo machine came out.
the online experience of this game is genuinely so terrible it’s flat out unacceptable for me at times. i’ll go months without playing simply because i can’t deal with the unfair crap that happens. i didn’t feel this way about the online experience of splatoon 2 for some reason though. i don’t get it.
One time I went to the enemy teams base in clam blitz on Museum D’Alfansino and I does randomly. It said I died to a tentatek Splattershot that was all the way on the other side of the stage!
Given how greedy Nintendo can be, i imagine the code for the online stuff is an absolute mess. Underpaid and stressed-out software developers driven by tight deadlines creating a half-baked mess of a product that barely works, and this is the result. All conjecture, but i have a hunch...
What I've always found insane is that the dev team is so aware that the games connection is so poor that they put in an animation for players who DC. What other game does that
I feel like for the majority of the time I play, it works just fine. I can certainly remember some crazy desyncs and lag, but it doesn't feel especially bad or common compared to other online games I play. That said, I do remember this one really funny moment I had where I was running from a kraken, used a kraken of my own and then killed them when their kraken ran out. Didn't get a splat message, and a few moments later I randomly die _while still in kraken form_ saying the other kraken got me. Turns out you're not invincible lol (got a communication error a few seconds later)

How does that even happen. Like it doesnt even make sense to have a 30 second delay 😭
@@Anubonek IK it was very odd, but the lag was so terrible the entire match so idk.
I have an old clip of a weird flingza crushing me after i have already splatted them and they have spawned
And also one time everyone expect me and one opponent dc:d, we just squid partied after that.
i once got killed out of the air whilst super jumping at peak height by a flingza
"A communication error occurred."

You ever hit someone 7 times with a splatter shot only to get quickscoped by a tri-zooka and not kill them? Or is that just me?

Don't get me wrong I love this game
but I also love laughing at its incompetence are we not gonna talk about that museum spinner moment at 7:31 ???
That might be the wackiest clip in the whole montage
It reminds me of Wipe Out.
The game literally rejected the Tacticooler 💀
we need a team of scholars and philosophers and advisors and historians to explain whatever that was

I cannot tell you how many times I have been shot by chargers that don’t even have the laser on me.
Ive had so many times where the match starts without me being off the start screen, it's insane actually
when i get lag and kill the enemy first they end up killing me a second later even though they’re literally dead, then i see their character phasing in and out of the spawn box lol
I’ve had many problems with the internet connection and players teleporting in a short distance but I’ve never seen anything this bad 😮
God the only word I have to describe lag is
PAIN.
Also loved that u used the wedding music that’s hilarious 😂
i especially love when brellas dont work even if theres very minimal amounts of lag
The other day I was playing a match on shipshape and this blaster was frozen in place and then teleported in front of me
7:22 onwards. I had that same experience happen during... I think my first two weeks of playing, give or take. It was with a roller against me while I was jumping away.
And, yeah, to all the people bringing up the paid subscription thing, this is just a mess.

The best phrase to summarize this video: Seems about right
The classical music 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ive had that one where the game started before it even showed me the players and it messed me up the ENTIRE game.
6:50 hey wait minute i thought they removed that in 202z
I guess they didn’t! 😂
My favorite part of Splatoon is when the funny squid’s start flying and ascending in and out of sequence.
Truly peak immersion👌🏽

The amount of flingzas in this video makes me very happy
I was super jumping once, and got killed mid-air bc of a slightly laggy kraken. I hope that they change it to a server based connection in Splatoon 4.
