Dispatch - Superhero Dispatch game by former Telltale Devs

[Newcomer 42]

Played this. You need cheats to speed up the game for the second playthrough, as apparently fast-forward is not an option for this kind of game, darn it. Too much cussing, and it feels like a Tumblrite idea of superheroes. The saving grace is that the minigame is fun, the MC is a competent straight hetero man and some heroes are interesting... But it still has woke stuff such as multiple interracial couples, even for the literal flaming gay, called Chad, btw, still has synergy with a nigress.

I can see why people thought she was evil, or at least suspicious. Her forcing Robert to fire someone to "shake things up" and show the Z-Team they're "serious" was seriously retarded.

That one was dumb and clearly a way to piss off the villain trying to fix him/herself to justify why he/she turns against you.

This was actually something I liked a lot, that literal faggot really grew on me over the course of my playthrough.

But more to the point about the minigame -the gameplay part of the videogame- that's easily the worst aspect even outside of the "quirky' dialog. For a game with a what, 5 hour run time? You do like 45 minutes of "dispatching". If they add an arcade mode, or better yet just add more missions (ideally free more likely paid DLC), I'd be all over this. When I got to play Dispatch, I loved Dispatch. But the gameplay is really just a skeleton to hang far less interesting VN elements on top of.

Found this online, figured some here may or may not get a kick out of it:

Flambae is Gay. During the blackout he asks the Z team what he should text to a guy. Seems like they were subtle with it (if you ignore the near groin level cut of his suit) but its particularly egregious as he was born in Afghanistan.

They did a similar kind of thing with Royd. Average IQ of native Hawaiians is 87 but Royd is the super genius mechanic and scientist.

>Flambae is From Herat Afganistan
>Was a boy-teen during the Afgan Civil War/Afgan war era
>The years where Bacha Bazi was very common in Afganistan
>Anger issues and lack off control are usually common on Abuse/SA victims
They didn´t think the implications off this when they made "Our DEI deluxe character" or what.

I think they knew, actually; I've seen a few fags try to portray outright pedophilia as "good" because it allows their kind to propagate. They know how fucked it is, and they embrace it because their fetish is the most important thing to them.

I think they knew, actually;

I don't think they did for super liberals the non christians can't do anything bad. So they prbably dismiss it as Western propaganda.

The years where Bacha Bazi was very common

But it really does work to explain why he went ballistic if Rob tells him he's Mechaman. Those boys were usually sold by trusted male relatives into sexual abuse and now another man that he's grown to trust turns out to have lied to him and it was also someone who hurt him physically before.

You'd think a company that develops and writes narrative-driven games shouldn't fuck up basic grammar.

I think the cope could be that Phenomaman is acting retarded and sad now and dialogue shows it ,but i don´t see that problem in other languages i think.

The same error shows up earlier in the game before that, from Sonar I think.

I'm glad I give so few shits about youtubers that I can't recognise them by voice.

I feel like the ending is gonna be rushed.

my nomination for wrongest doompost of the year

 

[When will it begin?]

I just saw an ad for this game. I can already tell the wrong lessons were learned. Your game didn't revive the fucking chapter release games. Your game only became popular after all of the chapters were out.

As much as I think they sucked I still remember people being hyped when a chapter of Walking Dead would come out. I didn't hear any buzz for this game prior to November 12. But if they must at least weekly releases weren't THAT bad.

a lot of covarage around the game is retarded
i saw a couple artical titles that suggest that sucsess of the game was inspite their efforts not because of it
i remeber seeing that the devs were dissapointed that so many people were nice and predictible
like nigga you made a game were you play as a super hero and expect people to act like assholes
there were a couple more that kinda spoiled my impression of the game but i don't remember them

Season 2 is going to blow chunks .
They were hoping for The Boys, Watchmen, Invincible fan base.
The people YEARN for a return to simple hero stories where the heroes are larger than life unapologetic good guys.

The only ones I've seen were them reflecting that they fucked up a bit with decisions that weren't closer to 50/50. As in, they felt like they did their job wrong if one choice was an obvious winner. An example they gave was the popcorn date vs the dinner with Blonde: they should have done a splitscreen rather than being able to see one character and having the other just send you a text message from offscreen, because obviously it's easier to empathise with someone who's clearly lonely right in front of you versus an unknown case. Seems reasonable to me from a pure design standpoint.

But if they must at least weekly releases weren't THAT bad.

If this one was weekly it kinda makes sense, since it's more of a cartoon miniseries (a pretty good one; nobody likes episodic games but we have to at least tolerate weekly television releases) than a game, really. I think that lets it sidestep a lot of the badwill people have for fucking Telltale games as well, since it's pretty clear from the gameplay that's going to be more of a linear experience so it didn't feel like it was painting itself as "YOUR CHOICES MATTER" bullshit in the first place.

Though ironically the few choices there are actually seem more significant anyway since they directly affect who's on your team for the actual gameplay part, while the story-only decisions work on a points system (based on both your gameplay performance and being consistent with repeated dialogue decisions) rather than just forking for ten minutes then blatantly shoehorning you back onto the canon path if you didn't pick what they expected you to.

I haven't seen any of the marketing so I dunno about saving the genre or whatever, felt to me more like it did the smart thing by leaving that genre in the dust.

I aint no woman stealing faggot cheater, so while Mandy is the clear best choice for making true huwhite children, Invisigal was my route. Shroud being a busted nerd was funny.

That's what I am talking about!!!!!
P-man was ny FRIEND. I wasn't about to do that to him. Plus him and flight loisence Flambae got me through some rough spots.

I will say it would've been funny if they had a joke route where you accidentally ended up dating Phenomaman by accident. Like everything is the same except at the end he's all, "I'd expect nothing less from ny spouse and crush Robert in a hug". Cue Robert going WTF?! As the screen fades to black.

Yeah it's the same with Coupe/Viktor.

The former is saddened over voting Invisigal out whereas the latter just delivers his line like a Yongyea impression.

On a purely business standpoint it would make more sense to keep the Assassin, so they don't go back to killing people over a drug addict whose worst crime is cyberbullying.

Shroud pistolwhipping the Bat is funny so another reason to keep Coupe.

 

[Gimmick Account]

I kept him because he had his flight license and mulligan ability unlocked.
But I also picked Waterboy because I thought he'd be funnier even though I expected him to be dogshit (although I figured characters like that usually get an XP boost or something. Maybe his abilities are good, I don't know, because you can't train them until you uncover their first one and his is unlocked by not using him, which I wasn't doing because I wanted him to level up and not be shit so I didn't get that until the final chapter).

You think they thought anything besides "le gay mudslime is called Chad. Suck it chuds"? Surface level reading is the best wokes do.

The people YEARN for a return to simple hero stories where the heroes are larger than life unapologetic good guys.

This. We had like 2 decades of edgy "heroes" who make the 90s look good, or worse, James Gunn characters, and it's getting stale. Dispatch has the same kind of mentality as it depicts heroes as judgmental assholes... BUT, they have a point, as villains range from serial murderers to unrepentant psychos. Attempting to make the "both sides BAD!" argument falls flat on it face more often than not.

This thing is written like a Saturday Morning cartoon that they just shoved f-bombs and penises in. I've seen this sentiment echoed a lot and honestly don't get it. This thing is like a slightly edgier Overwatch cinematic, they knew exactly what they were going for and delivered on it.
