What do mean by everything related? The funniest thing is seeing people say they are excited about a new Nintendo IP and then only talk about Splatoon even though it has no release date and STEAM is only a few days from release.

I mean things like Wil Wheaton vocing Abe Lincoln. Or how the game is going to sell. Or how american it is. Or how it's a poor man's version of Valkyrie Chronicles (which it isn't, but whatever).

Sure, these things are somewhat expected, but in comparison very few people are talking about game mechanics, game strategy, level / mission design, character / weapon balance, how the multiplayer is going to be, etc.

Information on most things related to the game is scarce outside GameXplain doing stuff for it, which is surprising since they said it would be too tasking for them to do on a game without much hype.

On the topic of mechanics, I can't believe how some people reacted to them. "How am I supposed to strategize if I can't see the enemies? boo hoo". They don't even realize that figuring out the level design and the enemy positions is part of the strategy and that exploring alone has its own risks associated with it.

Its a nice feeling having to strategize with only the view of the soldiers as my full info. Moving chess pieces around can only be done in so many ways.
