Yes, lol. I turned the subtitles on thinking it would be translated and it was just stuff like that, it was actually quite funny to me.
The Spanish alphabet also has characters which the English alphabet does not use, such as ñ.
While both derive from the Latin alphabet, they both have different character sets, and I thus refer to them separately. Just like how Russian and Ukrainian both derive from the Cyrillic alphabet, but they do not use all the same characters.
As a Hispanic American, I really wish I could have understood what he was saying.
I don’t know enough Spanish to understand him, and the English subtitles didn’t help because it was just the Spanish lyrics spelled only with the English alphabet. They couldn’t have translated the subtitles? Its not like they didn’t know what he was going to sing, they practice halftime shows before the game. 77% of Americans only know English and only ~14% know Spanish as of 2024, so this was a superbowl halftime show that only ~14% of the country could understand.
Also, side note, this show kinda sucked for the people that paid for actual tickets since much of it was in those tall grass walls/designed for the camera. In the past, the shows were more like a stage concert, which was better for the people actually at the arena, but this superbowl was like a double whammy for people that paid 10k for the nosebleeds: a horrendously boring game and a halftime show designed for the people watching at home.


It significantly reduces the difficulty of battles, IIRC, but there are not the rewards you get from Normal.or Hard. So you can progress the story past where you may be stuck at in Normal. If I recall correctly, that is. I have never used this mode, but the developers explained it once.

Another one of these?


Like 30 different variants of Fiat with different names lol


You think a coop multiplayer Assassins Creed would have been good? From the people that dropped AC Shadows?


Anything will get less fun the more often you do it. This is more of an issue when a genre becomes popular and everyone tries to capitalize on this.



To be fair, the character designers for Highguard cooked way harder than the character designers for Concord.
Highguard’s roster has good color separation, decent color palette, and strong silhouette design, making the character designs more appealing.
Concord had issue with each of these. Poor color palette, sometimes non-existent color separation, and silhouettes that were decent on some characters but too similar between other chracters. Concord’s character designers also mistook being able to use texture variation in place of color separation, and that only really works very close up, as far away the texture goes away and its just a fast blob of the same colored pixels. Unfortunately, Concord’s characters were very unappealing, and they required entire redesigns to correct them. Essentially, it was too much work to try to recover, and would have made more sense to completely start over.
Highguard is a lot better off then Concord, even if it needs more work to improve. And I doubt we will ever see as monumental a disaster as Concord ever again.


Such a shame this is in Nintendo jail.


Probably a result of living in a highly judgmental global society that would rather form an immediate opinion, even if it is objectively wrong, than spend the time to actually investigate what the facts about something are.
As an example, some people say that any person named in my comment should immediately be jailed. I feel this is a wrong opinion, because any person can be named in a conversation that they aren’t party to. I could, for example, start talking about Mr. Rogers, and he is technically named in my comment. But some people say that the name just being in my comment is enough “evidence” to jail him forever. Rather than spending the time it would take to realize I was only saying “I liked Mr. Rogers’ show on TV,” they want an immediate resolution despite however wrong or inaccurate it would be.
Investigation and research matters, and we live in a global society that villifies this ideology in favor of forming immediate and often wrong opinions about things they spend almost no time actually investigating.
I mean, I remember a time where you were expected to not be able to win a game in a single sitting, and in fact, you might not get all the information about a game in the actual game. We had to read manuals for tutorials, maps, and story exposition. Try releasing a game nowadays that does that and you’re going to get slapped with a 1/10 because people nowadays have less patience than a goldfish.
Personally, I primarily blame legacy news outlets and social media for this. But I digress.


What media is this, ink on paper or scratchboard? Something else?


Well I suppose thats kinda my point. The headline here is really bad. I understand what they are trying to get at, but they chose to word it pretty poorly.


I love both (personally like Quake 2 better) and consider Quake 2 to be “Quake 1 again.”
Though the visual tone of the game changed, it was still a fast paced action shooter with an identity that was different enough from Doom to be called “just Doom again.” Many improvements were made, but at its core it still felt like Quake. It didn’t feel like I was suddenly playing Mario, or even another shooter at the time like Turok, Heretic/Hexen, or GoldenEye.
I guess I am trying to say I understand what the headline is trying to say, but it doesn’t really do that good of a job.


IMO, a good sequel doesnt have to change too much to be good, and is usually close enough to be called “more of the same.”.
A good sequel is good because of its similarities to the first. Otherwise you end up with Zelda 2, which is widely regarded as the worst of the Zelda games because it changed so much (outside of a small but very vocal minority that liked it). Many movie sequels also try to change too much and end up suffering because of it. Return to Oz was an interesting movie, but I wouldn’t ever call it as good as the original. Aliens and Terminator 2 are both similar enough to their respective originals while still having minor tweaks that led to a good follow up.
So in the sense of a sequel, Overwatch 2 isn’t the worst, but I think it changed too much from the original and suffers because of it. And Blizzards decision to overwrite the original obviously plays a big part in many people’s dislike of the game.


Isnt every sequel “just the previous thing again?”


in other countries with corruption issues
Weird way of saying “all countries”
Not if you aren’t keeping the wheel locks that the key goes to.
Unless you are a service tech, then it could be helpful to have if you ever need one. I keep a big collection of OEM lock keys that were removed from CPO vehicles, they come in handy pretty often when the shop provided single set of wheel locks is already being used by another tech.
