Let's Talk about Side Order.

Ойындар

Splatoon 3's Side Order DLC released recently and I have... mixed feelings about it.
Sorry if this felt a bit overly negative, I actually really like this DLC, I just feel like the slight lack of variety really holds this DLC back from what it could've been.
I love this DLC I love Splatoon I feel so bad making a "mixed" review, but hey here we are :(

A couple of things that I forgot to mention and some changes to my thoughts since I recorded this:
--
-The Music
I mentioned it breifly, but it honestly deserved it's own segment, the music for Side Order is AMAZING (I'm actually listening to the track "Ech0 0nslaught" while writing this)
All the music is great but my personal favourites have to be "souv3nir," "2ouvenir", "j1tters", "demoli2h", and "0ct0pic0n"

- 12:18 "It just doesn't feel like it was designed to be replayable"
Looking back I kinda disagree with this? I think it was designed to be replayable, but the floor, boss, upgrades and colour-chip variety definitely hurts that replayability. Although, I'm still testing out it's replayability right now by playing it every so often, so my opinion might change.
--
-8:57 It added a bit of Marina and Acht backstory, as well as a huge Sea-Cucumber Phone lore drop (the phones lack of security allowing users to be pulled into the memverse against their will)
This DLC also didn't necessarily HAVE to add to the world too much, but I would've liked more lore drops...

If I find anything else, I'll put it here! Thanks for watching :)

    UPDATE: Yes, my opinions have changed since i made this video. (in a positive way) I'm honestly fine with the floor variety. More would be nice, sure, but I've found myself coming back to side order for it's gameplay regardless of it's repetitiveness. I still feel like the story isn't the best, and I feel like it should've been spaced out over multiple runs. Recently (after becoming curious after side order) I picked up another Roguelite, Hades. I really like how that game makes every run (at least 6-7 hours in) feel different through character dialogue, slowly revealing more and more about the characters. I kind of wish side order's story followed a similar structure. I also feel like Cipher's daily thingy isn't really worth it. I feel like you should be able to purchase a shell out token for 2000 Pearls or something in Cipher's shop, I honestly think that would be a better alternative to the Daily thingy. Ok bye thanks for watching :) Original comment: --- Helloooo! Thanks for watching! These are just my personal thoughts on the DLC, I love it overall, but I do feel like some of its flaws hold it back. Also, I mentioned some stuff in the description that I forgot to mention in the video/wanted to clarify. If any of my thoughts change I might put them into the description... but maybe I should just save them for an possible updated review in the future... Anyway, thanks for reading and have a good day :)

    i feel like if splatoon 3 came out later so they could have time to make better updates, get rid of seasons, and other stuff, we could reach 2018-19 levels of hype

    I really did enjoy side order but it did tend to feel a little repetitive. I finished it in two days and didn’t really feel the need to come back to it

    I think it needed 2-3 more bosses, 2-4 more palettes (stuff like Ranged Blaster or Painbrush would've been great), and a more polished story. Something like the story progressing over multiple run completions similar to Hades, and not it just being.. post game stuff after.

    yes i was so sad that the boss at the top of the tower was not a super powerful boss and just overlorder and honestly the boss fight was so underwhelming.. I wonder why they don’t like lots of bosses in this game

    They added all weapon classes from multiplayer. You can get painbrush and range from upgrading chips.

    You could change the title to "Lets Talk about Splatoon 3" and the thumbnail would still be accurate

    I agree with you accept for the bosses, agent 4 was the most interesting in my opinion and the ball is the bane of my existence.... I think the biggest flaw with this whole dlc was, it made a ton of references to Octo expansion and Splatoon 2 and that just further emphasized to me that Octo expansion was just a lot better imo. I dont think Side Order ever really stood out from the previous game's shadow

    I don't like how I can't just play any level I want. For instance, if I want to fight that spinny tower boss, I would have to start the tower, hope it's there, and play 9 or 19 levels before I get to it. I want a free play mode.
