Will a lack of features break Splatoon for you?

Hypothetically speaking of course. Nothing confirmed, but if Nintendo goes in true Nintendo fashion (no voice chat, matchmaking, lobbies, only being able to party up with friends and ONLY play against those friends), will this ruin the game for you?

The only friends play against friends and matchmaking thing, yes. I don't talk in online multiplayer anyway, so that's no big deal for me.

i have no friends so dont care....voice chat is so last gen.it sucks now.

@KBFloYd: I'll be your friend! We will squad up and (hopefully) be able to chat during matches!

i go in solo...teaming up in shooters is for people that suck.

also chatting while playing makes me play worse.

@KBFloYd: really? Online multiplayer has never really appealed to me, but I've been playing a lot of Last of Us multiplayer since it's release. Love the strategy based gameplay and working together as a team. Beats Call of Duty for me, and I'm hoping Splatoon is at least a little bit strategic and team oriented

It's for little kids who can't play real multiplayer shooters.

Buying Splatoon is like buying a Leapfrog, will it do everything a laptop can? No. Will it teach ABC's and basic math? Yes.

If you're wondering how it'll measure up to the features in other games you've played it means you're too old for the one.

@Jaysonguy: guess we will have to wait and see when may comes around for the truth on that

You kind of have to in cs go's MM if you're in eagle or above.

The only disappointment is if Wiimote functionality is absent.

If the games plays really well, where the time and effort was spent on the gameplay experience as opposed to filling the game with mediocre features, I can live with it. Too many games for quantity vs quality--the quantity is a good selling point but the consumer is burned by the lacking quality in the end.

@jcrame10: Seeing that you can randomly jump into matches in Smash and Mario Kart 8, I think it's a safe bet that we'll get matchmaking. Most likely not universal voice chat, but honestly, who wants to talk to 9 year olds anyway? I can't remember the last time I actually wanted to talk to voice chat with strangers in a game.

Well, a lack of a single player campaign might turn me off it. It's been confirmed there is single player stuff in there, to what extent, we'll soon see.
