I'm saying that the amount of community levels is distressingly low.
Oh. Well that wasn't the case when I bought LBP3 but they were almost all actually LBP2 levels for obvious reasons. You'd be right though if you said it would be better to just play LBP2. If they took out those levels for some reason then it would be extremely small, though I guess I can't be bothered to go check

If anyone's saying the Mexico VPN trick for EA's Origin sale doesn't work anymore because Battlefield 1 has more or less the same price, regardless of which country you're in. You can still get Battlefield 4 + premium (both separately, NOT the 'Premium Edition') for $12 instead of $20 normally.

There is so much video game activity happening suddenly! I've been in a video game blackout while studying for a licensing exam on March 17 and Zelda is breaking through. The next two weeks are gonna be rough but on March 17 at 5PM I will be walking out of the testing center and driving straight to the nearest place to buy Zelda!

I made the mistake of comparing the Switch and Wii U visuals for Zelda and the Wii U version's pretty awful color contrast is sort of a dealbreaker :negative:

I know, I know, this shouldn't matter to me, but it's noticeable enough that I think I'd feel like I was cheating myself out of a really pretty game by not waiting to play it on a Switch, whenever I can actually get one.

Pretty much and her gravity thing seems more to pull people than make them immobile. It appears to be more for getting people out of hiding than making them helpless. Like with all characters added to the game, it's gonna unbalance things for a bit but it probably won't be too bad. People freaked out thinking Sombra was gonna be broken but once she was there she was fine. With Orisa you have to realize that she is a HUGE target and her shield cannot be brought with her. She can buff herself for reduced damage but she seems to not be built to deal damage in a very dynamic fashion.

Depends on the strength of the pull. I'm sure it's not as strong as Zarya's ult because that would render her pretty much useless but if you can't escape it by just walking out of it then it sucks and opens up a ton of combos that result in "you die and can't do anything about it" which is already what a bunch of the game's skills amount to.

edit: ok based on the gameplay video it's less of a pull and more like a yank which is even worse

It looks like it has about the same strength as a Lucio bop. You could use it to catch people running for cover or shoot it over a pit and drag people into it.

Probably, yes. I've spoiled myself with PC gaming on a really nice monitor so I care way too much now about things like color contrast and depth.

I guess it could be that people uploading Switch videos are encoding their videos well while people uploading Wii U videos aren't? But it seems like a pretty sharp difference to me. I guess it probably depends on the TV you're using to play it, too, so maybe I wouldn't notice on an actual TV, I dunno.

I watched a video showing two of them side by side and could barely tell any difference at all. You'll especially not notice when you're only playing one of them. Why deprive yourself of this game you want to play for months because of such a minor issue???
