Nope, Dustborn had a special crazy that made it memorable. This game is just riding on the coat tales of Invincible and Suicide Squad, and the fact they are banking heavily on their "celebrity" cast makes me think the writing and acting is generic and forgettable than actually wild.

He is the bat person. You know, the animal known for high pitch shrieks? Not only he is a bad voice actor, but but if he HAS to be in this game they gave him the absolutely worst character to play. The character has a beast form he can switch to, but Charlie barely has one voice, let alone two needed for that character so he is just monotone all the time.

lmao. god casting that you arent even recognozable
 
I "played" the first two episodes, and I'm not gonna bother with the rest. I remember why I didn't care about Telltale returning or their type of games popping up again. It's a fucking movie with choices that matter, except they don't unless you only see two choices. The gameplay beyond QTEs are braindead hacking games and a dispatch game, and I liked it, but it's not enough to justify that these companies fail to make choices matter.

I've seen the leaks of the choices/endings. It's all contigent on what romance you pick (Blonde Blazer or Invisigal) and if you kill or spare the main baddie (I forgot his name).

The only time I've seen these "choices matter" games done right are the big budget ones that have the resources to make a wide array of endings are Detroit: Become Human and The Quarry. I'll watch the full movie when all of it comes out and continue to watch people bitch about which lady they like more.

Gave the game a try, and I will give it exactly one piece of praise: at no point is the the protagonist ever presented as incompetent, bumbling, or effeminate. He’s down on his luck only because he poured a fortune into maintaining his super suit. He’s confident and highly experienced. The conflict comes about because he has no powers of his own, so his diversity squad team doesn’t listen to him and suffers for it.

Detroit's choice flowchart was the best feature ever for these types of games because it had the balls to be actually transparent on what decisions matter vs which ones don't and gives the player an idea on what they are missing out on. Other games don't copy it because they know it is a straight line with A/B options that just reconnect to the same thing anyway and will absolutely kill any illusion of choice and ruin any temptation for replays.
 
Played it, amusing enough but clearly the choices are bullshit, generally they react like you picked one of the specific options. The eceleb shit should be very off putting but at least in the first 2 episodes they only have like a handful of lines. The dispatching and management gameplay is extremely basic so far but we'll see if it improves later on.
If you like Telltale games and Invincible you'll probably like it. Also you get to beat the shit out of reporter.
The episodes are very short though so I recommend just getting a free copy like I did. No telling if the final product will be worth it.
 
Well, the recent release was definitely for the gooner crowd. Like I said in my previous post, I stopped "playing", I just watched what others did.

Invisigal at the start of episode 4 has a sex dream about Robert.

I guess the problem is that all of these types of games needs to have romance. If they were planning to make more seasons after this, it would've been nice if they bothered to have any sort of patience to have the romance develop.

Animation and celeb voice actors are expensive, so they don't have the budget for a story long enough to be paced appropriately for romance. Also, they played their hand with the nudity censor option, having full-frontal dicks in episode one and the art of all the heros in swimwear on the store page. Gooners was always the target audience, and the cheesecake and fan service will only increase from here. I am calling it now, THERE WILL BE A LOCKER ROOM SCENE WHERE MULTIPLE TITS OR DICKS ARE EXPOSED AT ONCE.

What kind of smut do you think will be in this game?

I swear, female and faggot writers amount of degeneracy makes even Japanese coomers blush. And they will call out any good looking woman in game as being pedophilic material (while happily writing actual underaged characters into gay relationships).

I was annoyed by the time skip in chpater 4. That was the perfect time to just have us dispatch for like 10 days with like a montage of Rob Rob and Royd failing to fix the suit. It would pad out the game time AND give us time to get attached to the supers.

I'm starting to think they're lowkey annoyed that people prefer the dispatching to their weird little story.
 
Did Aaron Paul fall off hard after breaking bad or is this just some favor for a friend? I know this shit isn’t going to be “good” even by normalfag standards because they had to scrounge some e-celeb tards for the cast as a form of cheap marketing, which makes the aforementioned seem quite strange. Also, while the invincible knockoff style isn’t my cup of tea, it does seem nice from a technical level, it’s good to see developers doing ANYTHING outside the visual norm of UE5 slop or faux-retro garbage.

The gameplay of managing the heroes is good, and frankly overshadows the story.

There's an old one on GoG called Freedom Force. It's a real time tactical game with pause where you control a bunch of heroes and use abilities in combat. You even get to roam around the city before getting into a battle. It is from 2002 though so it might be a bit jank.

I do like that they are all ex con supervillains and the main guy is basically a cross between Batman and an experienced Gundam protagonist. It seems too short to justify a purchase though.
 
Just finished chapter 4. I take back what I thought about the current year stuff. Everything is shockingly hetero, and the male gaze is back, baby. There actually isn’t any gay stuff at all, as far as I can tell. I agree with what people are saying about the narrative and the gameplay being at odds. Having narrative shit hobble my dispatch simulator gameplay is BULLSHIT. I’ll be doing a full asshole run after the final chapter, so I’m interested in seeing how I can game the system.
