Speaking as someone with no real-life close friends to play video games with, Splatoon would get boring after an hour or two.

The game looks good though if you have the means to play it and attention span to get your money's worth.
In terms of "attention span", this game is actually more engaging than almost any other online shooter I've played.

The constant mechanic of spreading paint means that there's never any down time in a match, and it also means that you have to know when to press the attack, and when to focus on spreading paint and expanding territory.

I'm mostly looking forward to it for the single player, though.
Yeah, it's not just trying to "splat" others to win, but in the Turf Wars, your team needs to claim the most turf in their color, and it gets really hectic fast. One second your team could be in the lead, the next the other team takes the lead. It's not just your regular shooter. If you're not good taking out others, you can help by claiming turf for your team.
