Ive always wondered what arlo is atracted to. I could imagine him settling down with a nice red monster and raising a purple son
Lol
Daww... Let's make that a thing.
YES
it's aTTracted. fool.
Or purple daughter. XD
A very small amount of this footage features me using sticks and the rest is using motion controls. Why does everyone think I'm not using motion controls at all?
Hi Arlo I like your channel!
pin this quick before anyone else comments
GIT OUTTA HERE ARLO, CAN'T YA SEE WE DON'T WANT YA NO MORE??
I was actually confuses because it looked like motion to me... Atleast when I was looking for it after reading a comment it did. I thought people just had eagle eyes or something
Because memes. The internet will ALWAYS take any opportunity possible to trash talk a youtuber.
This was one of the most comprehensive reviews I've seen. Unlike IGN who seems to hate Nintendo and ingenuity giving the game a 4 minute review and barely touching on any of the many new features, you hit almost all of them. The only on being the minigame you can play outside the Shoal to listen to your favorite songs or play a fun and really challenging rhythm minigame, I seriously spent 3 hours in the car beating Tidal Rush and it was a blast!
I give your review a 10/10.
Also ARMS is a Switch exclusive! So hype for the next new character they're gonna drop!
theblitz233 Honestly, your review on a review is kinda bland, and got to the point quickly.
I give your review a 5/10
_7.8/10 too much water_
Sturmp 7.8/10 too much ink
The one think Arlo forgot was the music.
This guy reviewed a review :0
I love how when he starts praising the balance, gameplay of the tri-slosher is in the background.
they had strokes
Like all things should be.
XD i read this when that part of the video was showing by accident
Fartimations
Luna blaster
Remember as Scott falco says
"Buckets are filthy memers avoid at all costs" which is an actual splatoon related quote.
Great review (: the frame per second appreciation is awesome
Splatoon 2 is honestly a great game with cool lore and amazing music. I am so excited for Splatoon 3!
@Otis Judson shut up bot
@Brandon Kash what the fu-
@@momsaccount4033 lmfaooo 💀 bots are wild now huh
@@momsaccount4033 lol i love how this is the only review on this nearly 4 year old comment

"Sometimes I can ink behind everyone's backs and win the game"
*plays clip of his team getting destroyed as he inks the enemies base*
He’s so good that he can take entire teams on his own
"And even after just playing the tutorial level, I was hooked." Uh oh, sounds like someone didn't listen to the new catchphrase!
Arlo plays a lot of Splatoon. I've run into him several times in lobbies. Or at least people calling themselves Arlo.
Chris Gorski
He’s said in the past that he Mainly just hops on for Salmon Run. Unless the lobby your in is a Salmon Run one, it’s probably a fake.
*Majin Octoling* ive seen a bunch of arlos in salmon run so I prolly saw him a couple times since I mostly play salmlmon run and I’m usually at profreshional 100-300 which I assume he’s probably at
DroppedMyBaguette I saw him once at salmon run but idk if it’s him
Imposters
@@MothFable 📮SUS📮
Can we appreciate how the starter gear is aimed so well at noobs. The splatershot jr can ink turf quickly and that is useful when they will probably die every second. Ink armour allpws the team to get a boost in defence which is a tiny help but it works and special saver allows that boost to happen more frequently. And quick respawn is good cos noobs wont be getting many kills but instead dying a lot more oftet. Its so perfect for a noob to have. It makes u a bit less annoyed when u get a noob cos how it is useful for the team cos of ink armour and high ink covering rate
Level 25 and I still use the Splattershot Jr.
Your grammar and attitude make you sound like an elitist. I'd rather have a "noob" than someone who goes around calling everyone noobs and treating them like deadweight.
Agent Octo he brings up a great point
Level 28* still use jr
The first splat roller is useful for a long time. Curling bombs and Splashdown work well with it.
Next Splatfest: Motion Vs. Stick.
Popularity and pro battles would be for motion and regular would be for stick, thats my guess on how it would play out since almost all motion control players are sweaty hardcore players anyway. Not 100% of them but a big amount of them
@@OneJadeZombie how do you even play with sticks? I have played with gyro so long I forgot how to su- I mean use sticks. Just kidding
I use sticks cause I’m just used to other shooters and I play better without motion controls
@@Pejin8264 you should learn to use motion if you want to improve. It will take around a month to get used to it but you will become a much better player.
Thatd be the most onesided battle.
"Sting Ray is underpowered"
OOF
lol no
When the game launched it was
yeah i know
It' too hard to learn use or then I just really suck with it
In the beginning it was pretty bad, but after the buff, its extremely powerful, maybe op, in certain modes (cough tc cough). But you probably already knew that so I don't know why I am typing this.
So if Arlo goes to a convention do people get to meet his puppeteer..?
thedreadedzero+
Yeah but he'll erase their memories so it will stay a mystery.
thedreadedzero no, he is the puppet.
Carter Theberge S Read his comment again.
Elias Westeren it was a joke
Also I'm 10
waitshitthisisntfwob
thedreadedzero what puppeteer?
IF YOU AIN'T BOOYAH-ING, YOU'RE NOT PLAYING SPLATOON RIGHT
You give by far the best game reviews I've seen on youtube. Not only are you super thorough and thoughtful regarding the content, but you're also an amazing writer and performer so your videos are eloquent and very pleasant to listen to. I'm blown away by the polish that you put into your reviews. Bravo, sir.
26:03 Thank you for the extended address, as an inhabitant of the Sirius B system, I am often confused by whether they mean California of Earth, or California of Planet Zirgophat.
Woah! You're from Sirius B? I'm from Klavius-7!
I actually just went and bought Splatoon 2, and I have a Switch coming in the mail tomorrow, looking forward to it
Thank you my lord Arlo, most reviews are not really playing enough to notice just how much the game changed in the grit of it. Taking your time with this one helped point out the differences, positive, and negative. Love your stuf buddy, keep it up!
(During the Arlopalooza)
Arlo: "Mind the puppeteer behind me"
This game looks ink-credible

Flower
YES!
well done
Fluff
I think I saw you in the splatfest.
Did you say you were gonna eat all the mayo in a post?
(Edit) Thank you too everyone who took the time to answer me and like my comment.)
He totally did, just check twitter xD
Me too
I saw that as well. But I was Team Ketchup though.
He was wearing a paintball mask with spiky hair right?
Kevin Osorio yeah! I saw him during the concert with a Jelly on his head haha
As a huge splatoon fan I'm glad you took your time on this review. I can watch gamexplain or ign if I want to have buying information on launch, But you're reviewing style makes it fun to watch even if it takes a while to see. I don't really watch your video reviews to influence any purchasing as you in general like quite different games than me. I'd already bought splatoon 2 in launch so I'm really only watching to hear your opinion and because your hilarious. I hope you don't start trying to rush these because that would remove most of the quality especially considering Nintendo isn't sending review copies to you so they still wouldn't be out on launch but would no longer have the quality and rewatchability. Not to mention I would completely burn you out. So please keep it up. 159,000 people can't all have "wrong" opinions.
2:43
THIS is why Moray Towers is my favorite stage. I always love sneaking into enemy territory with a Splat Roller.
I would love to go to the arlopalooza.
All I have to do is convince my parents to buy a plane ticket so that I can meet a blue monster along with a bunch of people probably way older than me and maybe play a game with him on a system I don't even have yet.
I really need to get that switch before summer's over.
A 27 minute review? Now that is dedication; why can't more people be this in depth?
Sometimes, I suspect that arlo isn't a puppet, it's like that story at the beginning of the muppet movie where some dude just looked like a puppet and nobody around him questioned it.
"If there's one Special that's underpowered then it's the Sting Ray" Then suddenly updates and it's the best Special
This is how any in-depth game review should be like in 2017. I'm really glad you went below the surface & the obvious and made a review that will truly give perspective player holistic idea on what playing the game will be like (even if you went light on ranked mode). Thank you for not rushing it, and this kind of care is why you are one of my favorite youtube content creator.
Just got the game today, I love it. I never actually got around to playing the first Splatoon despite wanting to so this all new to me.
I played the first game and just playing it made me fall in love with the series. It makes me want to play the sequel even more.
Meet Arlo for the first time .... "Dad, why is that man's arm in Arlo's butt?"
Just saying... The visuals are night and day. Tbh, I didn't really notice in the first reveal trailer... But just go back and watch a Splatoon 1 video, the colors are so monotone, especially compared to Splatoon 2!
Always so excited when you upload a new video! Keep doing what your doing!
I don't know why, but i enjoy to watch all these older reviews even if i already played the game xD i simply love to listen to him
Arlo: "The game is balanced"
** Sees Gameplay of trislosher in the background**
"Oh look, a bespeckled cephalopod!"
Gloppin bloopin
So detailed that I think it’s the longest review video on youtube. Full of information for people who wanted to grab this game easy! Awesome reviewer!
This probably the best and most in depth review of Splatoon 2 I've seen yet. Great work Arlo!
Splatoon - the only game where having a bad aim is beneficial to your team
WHAT WE NEED IS SPLATOON WATER GUNS MERCHANDISE!!!!
Also I Arlopalooza sounds so fun but sadly I live in LA so I can't make that drive :(
Yanigiri there is japanese water gun merch
Yanigiri there is some at toys r us too
Yanigiri I live in Australia, I can't FLY there.
Try having an entire ocean in between you!
The Salamander King rip
Just watched this after your Splatoon 1 review! Nice video!
As always, great review Arlo! I feel really well informed. Was on the fence about picking it up until I saw your review.
When no one in your area owns a switch to play local. ;~;
You know Arlo, this is like the best online multiplayer game I've played in existence and it's also a lot more fun than the ones on non-Nintendo gaming systems just like the way the Touhou games (like Fantastic Danmaku Festival) are more fun than the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 first-party games. Heck, I've also seen a family child playing it as her first online multiplayer game ever and I've smiled upon. I sure love to thank the Splatoon dev team like that.
I've loved that this game heavily focuses on mastering our actual skills unlike other online multiplayer games (like EA Star Wars Battlefront 2) where you gotta get ahead of other people by paying real world money for microtransactions. Yeah, I remember watching a lot of playthroughs of the Touhou core games involving 1cc, no miss, no bombs and lunatic difficulty completion and that's also my biggest (and weird) inspiration for enjoying Splatoon.
Just to clear up that I'm not fangirling the franchise or throwing hate on others. I'm just simply expressing my thoughts and experiences. You know, I've gotten this game but it's not because of the brand itself.
1700th comment!
Yeahh I bloody love this game, and I've suffered playing games like C.O.D in the past. Growing up i was never into that gruesome (look at me I have guns and knives) stuff. Splatoon 2 is perfect 👌
The most comprehensive, unbiased, well structured, noteworthy review of all time.
I dont really care if he uses motion controls or not it doesnt really matter
I wonder how he would review it now, after all the updates
9:30 "I don't care if you're a furry or not. Ink your spawn point"
Great Review, Arlo! Congratulations!
Even though I already have this game, I love watching Arlo's vids!
i understand where youre coming from with wanting story in the story mode, but as someone who got all the scrolls in splatoon 1, did you get them? i know its optional and not really main story but it provides some surprisingly deep lore.
Anyone watching this after the 2020 splatoon demo?
@Ninjago Fan
Yep, bought the full game too. Great
I'm so happy this video exists. I love you arlo!
Thank you! This is easily the best Splatoon 2 review on the internet. Almost every other reviewer were obviously casual players who really didn't notice all of the small but important changes made to this game.
skirmish spurred by cephalopod squirts sounds like a death metal band name
Anybody else found Arlo at the lobby?
Jared Haertel i think i did
When I saw that profile picture I thought "I don't remember commenting on this video" then realized it wasn't me. I never really seen someone use the same profile picture as me before.
Lol.
An almost 30 minute video from Arlo? YES PLEASE!
Oh yeah! Another review, I love these!
Legend has it has legend it has it legend has it legend
Still waiting on Ranked Hide and Seek
Mr. President Lol I would actually like that
That actually sounds super fun.
Binge watching all your reviews to see what games to buy for Christmas
Great in depth review especially for a new switch owner like me, You sir have gained a new sub. Keep up the great work.
IGN reviewing a game:😒
A fricken puppet named arlo reviewing games:👏👏👏
Kevin Lopez no one cares about ign I love arlo so much better
Starting my Arlo marathon XD
Who is here rewatching this waiting for splatoon 3 and Arlo's eventual splat3 review?
As many other people have said, this is a fantastic review and you're best one!
I personally have played Splatoon 2 and loved it. One of my favorite games ever!
And that Arlopalooza announce was dope but maybe you should have waited to announce it until you know what it actually is.
Also, that outro was _clean!_
When you talked about connection the video started buffering
I saw you in my Splatoon 2 lobby during the splatfest.
*ARLO WILL EAT ALL THE MAYO*
Definitely the best review I’ve heard in a good while
Excellent review Arlo
I've been on the fence about buying splatoon 2 for a while, after watching this, I think I'm finally gonna get it
11:34
Arlo: "I have no friends, and I have no interest in friends"
OH MY GOD A (almost) 30 MINUTE ARLO VIDEO WOOOOO
Great Video, your review was really great and showed all of the things you should cover of splatoon 2, if someone wants to check out if their game is for them. I already own the game a few weeks, but I must admit if I didn't, I would have bought it after your review. Well done!
hi Arlo! I might have saw you during splatfest in the square. you also had a post saying "Arlo will eat ALL THE MAYO". could have been an imposter though. was that you??
It was him, if you check his Twitter you can see that he made the post.
oh my GUUUUUUAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWSH
King Dededinkleberg I got a screen shot of him. It was him!
I saw that guy too
Wait... It was actually him o.o, OMG I SAW ARLO. I had just written it off as a fan and left him with a fresh (despite being ketchup I would fresh a fellow Arlo fan). But I can't believe it actually was him
16:40 Bryan... There can only be one...
This is true.
Such a good review... such a comprehensive take!
Great review , Arlo.
Who dislikes an arlo video?????!!!!!😡😡😡
Godz29 A fool who uses motion controls.
D5dizzler Motion controls are way more precise, a fool would stick with stick controls because that's what they are used to, I didn't like the motion either, but I stuck with them, and I got good.
PurpleBaller Deluxe
Okay first of all i was just joking.
Secondly; i agree. but there's just something about motion controls in a shooter that just feels stiff.
I actually use them zelda games.
D5dizzler Motion Controls = STIFF? Never experienced stiffness in my life!
Ranen Chancelor might not wanna let you're girlfriend know about that problem.
I'm sorry its just a joke that had to be made, no offense towards you.
I wanna know how a meet up with a puppet is gonna work, haha. Are you just gonna be inside of a cardboard box with the Arlo puppet sticking out the whole time? :p Or will there be no puppet at all!?
does ANYONE know the name of that music Arlo plays at the end of his videos?? im assuming its from a video game. ive been looking for it for like 4 months pls send help
Finally, an English youtuber that gets splatoon! I love you Arlo!!!
Just one thing, It's totally possible to play private matches and salmon run with people that aren't your Switch friends using the "Online Lobby" function. You make a room in game, open your Switch Online app on your phone, share the link provided with whoever, and bam! They can join. A bit tedious yes, not explained anywhere also yes, but it does the job decently.
As much as I enjoy Salmon Run, I'm not sure if it was available full time I'd play it as much as I am now. In the same way that I only occasionally dip into ranked. And I certainly wouldn't play it a dozen or so times when I played it if it weren't time limited. Like, I get why people are annoyed by it - Video game demands you stick to it's schedule is bad enough when it's in the form of setting aside 3 hours between save points, but when it's a specific mode that's time locked in the most convenient way of playing as hard as Salmon Run is it's positively ridiculous, but at the same time... I probably play the mode more in this situation than I would if it was handled sensibly.
Whatever happened to bots in shooters, anyhow? While never as enjoyable as human players, up until... I want to say Halo... they seemed like an industry standard FPS feature for when you wanted a friends only match but weren't able to field a good amount of players for that map. Then somewhere around Halo, boom. No bots. Ever.
Do you live in northern...
"YES! SAY MY AREA SAY MY"
California?
well dang
This is probably the best review for this game i have ever seen
I will see you again at Sac Gamer's Expo, man! I'm stoked as hell
Wait... ARLO'S CHARACTER IS WHITE! Arlo wasn't blue all along...
Well, they don't exactly have a blue skin option, buddy.
BargrosNintendoGames Nintendo is racist to Blue Fuzzy People, so they don't have that skin colour option...

@@randocalzone8772 man predicted the future
WOW, I'm a fan of Arlo in the Northern California Region with a switch, and Splatoon 2.
Maybe I can beg my parents to let me go. HAHA, just kidding I'm an adult, but i do need to borrow their car.
Thanks for informing me because I was never into splatoon but I never gave it a shot but now that I know things I wanna get it.
I have been waiting for this
I know you are taking your time on this game and I appreciate that but....when are we getting the botw review.
Kim Eversole I was about to say you're super late, but I forgot that the first impressions wasn't a review..
Kim Eversole It would just be him nerding out for 30 minutes then giving it an 8/7
Pickled Fricknut Mcgee And that's bad because?
Pickled Fricknut Mcgee that would be AMAZING
Too bad I live on the complete other side of the U.S.
Sorry Arlo, can't come to Cali. :(
Thank god for a 27 minute review, i domt get where people got that they could review a game in 2 minutes, thank you arlo
This the greatest review yet!
You shouldn't be able to randomly join a friends rank battle because voice chat would give you a large advantage. Also, league battle is essentially the same thing. You don't have to try to get the top of the league, you can just play casually
Why is everyone making fun of him for stick controls? He's mostly using Motion. :p
I love playing Splatoon 2 on the Nintendo Switch. Outfits have abilities but both my Octoling and Inkling wears outfits for the fashon/style for photos, videos and during a battle, although I play as an Octoling more then an Inkling. There is a DLC called Octo Expansion. The ink makes the stages bright and colourful. It is fun to play with other players but it is also fun to play with friends and family.
Hey @Arlo have you done a follow up on this with the Octo-Expansion?
What do you think of it?
What I think is it is much harder then the original Inkling Single Player but is still fun.
And makes it fun when you can skip the level if you cannot get past it.
Arlo only uses sticks for a portion of the review. Stop getting so worked up about it people.
no arlo don't get hooked you you'll get cooked
By the way I was lucky enough to get the game on the day of the most recent splat fest (Flying V invisibility)
Back when this game - and soon after, this video - came out, the latter went on my "watch later" list and sat there for a _long_ time. Some time early this year, I removed it as I'd still yet to buy a Switch, and therefore didn't foresee myself looking into Splatoon 2 anytime soon. Around the end of February though, I finally went out and got myself the coolest console I've ever owned.
It has been some time since I obtained my Switch, and I've yet to purchase this game. But today, I was suddenly struck with the inspiration to look into it. I searched TH-cam for a Splatoon 2 review, and after scrolling past a few eight-to-ten minute videos, I stumbled back upon this 25 minute behemoth of a review. Thank you for providing such a comprehensive peek into what this game has to offer. I think I'll be buying it now, and my only fear is that I'll enjoy it too much and become sucked in.
Free-for-all Turf War where each player has their own ink color would be insane!
I'm not sure if it would be the best thing, but I'd like to try it!
