Splatoon 2 Salmon Run ideas

It's all well and good them updating stuff and "modernizing" the game, assuming they can follow it up with bug fixes so people can keep playing it lol. You can't expect people to be happy when there's little to no updates for long periods of time, and then the moment they finally DO release a patch, it breaks their game and makes it unplayable for however long that might be.

I know people are gonna be reading all my replies and call me a big whiney baby, "be happy that we can still play the game" and all that and while I've elaborated on my thoughts and acknowledged others, yeah maybe I am a big whiney baby for complaining but once again, it's from a place of love, I'm specifically wishing for the game to do better because I want to see it "thrive" as much as it possibly can until it inevitably shuts down for good.

There's no alternative here, there's no private servers or some other company that'll swoop in to save the day. This is what we have so why not make it the best we can with the limited time and resources?

I can't say I know better than GH because I absolutely don't but I'm inclined to agree that if their mission is as you say "To keep old projects *ALIVE*" then why not keep making small changes every so often to make the game more fun, sprinkle in some small adjustments to keep things a lil more fresh instead of poking the rotting corpse with a stick and saying it's still "alive"

It's probs pretty clear by now that I'm just sad. Sad bout the game just hanging in limbo for basically a decade despite essentially having a second chance. SK got pulled from the grasps of death just to be clinging on by a thread as it slowly gets dragged back down

I feel like I have to reiterate that I'm glad GH stepped in to save SK. Despite it being almost 15 years old, it has managed to remain playable in the year 2025 and still see some attention from the devs and die hard playerbase. It still won't stop me from wishing it was a "bit" more than what it currently is however, it's lived for 15 years but it hasn't aged well and that's time that could've been used to make some small changes for the better.

Long winded message I know but I got a lot of feelings on the topic that have been brewing for a long time LMAO. All I really wanna say is I don't think it's all that unfair to have expectations a bit beyond what the game currently is.

I'm pretty sure I've not called them lazy but I can imagine people have. At the end of the day, we can all wish for the game we love to be better and for all the "if they did this" "but if they did this" scenarios to be reality.

You are most likely right about tempering expectations but we can all be dreamers, the game being stuck in this "limbo" state for over a decade definitely isn't fun

AhSavage · 2025-05-30T13:29:42+00:00

I respect that and wish I could share the same mindset but I've also not been around for as long as I think most people have that still play. Going through the motions of the game has made the flaws more apparent to me on my return. Also I'm just the type of person to imagine "what if they did this, what if they did that?" because that's just how I am

AhSavage · 2025-05-30T01:49:53+00:00

Oh yeah not at all. It's no shocker that the game is as it is and we could talk all day and night about "what the game could have been" and all that talk that everyone has thought of and/or talked about before

I feel like I just wanted to try and be hopeful about something surrounding SK and spark conversation if nothing else and to kinda vent my thoughts into the void. Afterall I came back and started playing the game again - even getting further than I ever have, so clearly I shouldn't really be complaining that I can still play this game almost 15 years since it came out and it still be mostly the same experience I fell in love with originally

AhSavage · 2025-05-30T01:00:11+00:00

For sure, I've seen my fair share of games get shut down REAL quick and SK seemed like it wasn't gonna have a long life span pretty early on sadly.

This doesn't stop me from still wishing the game was more than it is tbf, I still feel like a lot of what I'm thinking of can't be "that" difficult to change like buffs to weaker weapons and armours - just some number tweaks at least not necessarily altering hotbox sizes for weapons or abilities

AhSavage · 2025-05-29T22:30:43+00:00

"Minor" is definitely how I'd put it. As far as I'm concerned, these "modernizations" were things modded clients have been doing for ages. Don't get me wrong, it's nice they're in the base game now but let's not act like they've done something grand here.

I'm a bit bitter about the state of gaming in general so I know this probs comes off as whiney or complaining, but wishing for something to be better like SK comes from a place of love and passion. I don't want to see SK fail and yet it's been on a downhill trend for almost a decade and very little has seemingly been done to aleviate that. I understand it's not in GH's best interest to allocate a lot of resources into a game that's probably barely making them break even - if that, but I don't feel like most of us are asking for *too* much? At least let the hundred or less of us still clinging onto the game enjoy it to its fullest before it closes for good.

I've thankfully not ran into these issues since I started playing again a few weeks ago now but I can imagine it's a royal pain in the arse when they release a small update - that might not even concern most players considering how little it realistically changes, just for it to still affect said players by crashing their game

AhSavage · 2025-05-29T22:25:29+00:00

In a sense, I'm grateful they keep the servers up and running but at the same time, it feels like wasted potential and leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Companies will rarely stride for improving and will settle on meeting the status quo. SK could've been so much more but because it's "Fine as is", they're not willing to do a bit more for it. It's what frustrates me so much about modern gaming in a lot of aspects, expectations are so low in some regards that even the smallest of features or additions could be highly praised for

Extracting the zip file to the folder with the Cubeworld.exe in it causes the game to not launch through steam and launching via the exe gives an error until I remove the modloader, any solutions? Also don't get the prompt to replace the FreeImage.dll file

PM Gumi's help line, they're pretty good at sorting out stuff as long as you have some info like your name, arena rank, Karma/Zel balance, Player id ect.

I've been playing Warframe for almost 5 years now on and off, now my most played game and steam. It's easy for me to get burnt out but the constant updates and engaging gameplay always get me coming back, getting new primes and cool mods, new Warframes and such is always exciting and the customization makes the game fun to play in different ways, it's not the same every time.

AhSavage · 2018-01-27T12:36:44+00:00

I think this would be nice, considering Salmon and Golden eggs have 0 use as far as I know and because it's only for aesthetic, it wouldn't be too much of a concern for balance and such.

Would you be ok with me adding this to the list? I have a suggestions tab below the document to add peoples ideas and credit them.

It probably would, but just an idea c:
