The fallout of the end continues. What's next? Season 2? Endless mode update?
More of my perfect wife who did not do anyrhing wrong
>>725943074filler beach episode DLC and patching the gameplay so it's actually random instead of pre determined
>>725943074Slop
>>725943212>pre determined???
You fags sound like high school girls talking about who is fucking who.
My wife should keep the earrings, they look good on her
>>725943198I was gunning for BB until this happens. Perfect character moment.
>>725943307>Blazer puts her career on the line to stand up for Visi at every point against all logic>steal from her>sexually harass her>try to take her boyfriend>almost get her program canned>be driven to criminality by insane jealousy of herActual kino showing that some people just can't be redeemed and trying will only drag you down with them
>>725943074Imagine being sexually assaulted by your coworker right after she dropped that she's the reason why your life is shit. She doesn't even apologize she just runs away and makes herself the victim.
>>725943198>>725943212first and second posts best postsBeach episode would be so kino
I had two playthroughs. In the first one I spent too much time doing the side missions in Episode 8 trying to see as much content as possible, and I mostly ignored the boss fight, so I didn't kill the boss in time and failed.>Did all the hacking correctly>Invisigal was my most sent hero on Episode 2>Overall performance across all shifts was in the top 20%In the second playthrough, I made a point of doing all the exact same cutscene choices. This time around I did save LA (Still spent too much time fucking around with the side missions to see more content lol, one more red circle explosion and I would have lost)>Still did all the hacking correctly>This time around I didn't have Invisigal as the most sent hero in any episode>Overall performance across all shifts was in the top 10%She still turned into a villain at the end.Perhaps I simply didn't use Invisigal enough either time, but it's certainly not tied to overall performance.>>725941918>>725942107I have now checked how Invisigal was doing at the start of Episode 6. As you can see, she was at Rank 8 or above both times. I'm actually surprised she's higher level in the second playthrough. I figured I had used her less the second time around, since I knew I was gonna cut her and not get her in the last two episodes. Like I said, I did all the hacking perfectly. So it still sounds to me that if you cut her and don't romance her, you must have to use her a LOOOOOT to have her go hero. My second playthrough was after all the most recent patches, by the way.
It's still the sweetest scene in the whole season.
Really hoping for an infinite dispatch mode. Even better if it has some randomization elements to it and little slice-of-life vignettes to bookend days/shifts. They don't even need to be voiced.I wish they'd do a Director's Cut to clean up a lot of the messy story bits, but that would take a lot more time, effort, and money than they'd do given the work flow.
>>725943540>So it still sounds to me that if you cut her and don't romance her, you must have to use her a LOOOOOT to have her go hero.So the game assumes you redeem her with your dick. Cool.
>>725943540>Those chart differences between the heroeskek
Ahh, the first cute Visi momentAnd its a reverse of the lockerroom scene, kino>>725943509You sure love yapping
>>725943310
>>725943307This kinda went nowhereI thought this and BB not letting us fire her were implying Visi and BB were sisters
>>725943809The sister theory never made a lick of sense desuI could sorta see the roommate theory but I also cant imagine Blazer being poor enough to need a roommate, even in LA
>>7259430742 more DLC episodes would have been great maybe a direct continuation of the current ending Z team and maybe the entire SDN branch could hold a party to celebrate something like the citadel DLC from mass effect
>>725943756My first playthrough, I was trying to do stat roleplay. I was giving them upgrades based on how I thought the characters would be the strongest at judging by the cutscenes. Incidentally, this is why I gave a lot of them fairly high combat, which definitely fucked me over quite a few times.The second playthrough, I overcorrected to make sure I saved LA and minmaxed them hard. In hindsight, I didn't really need to. The main reason why I didn't save LA was just because I kept fucking around and doing as many missions as possible instead of zerg rushing the boss.
>>725943664I love her so much
>>725943980>>725943664BBcels are really cringe
I wish we had bits where we could just walk round the office and talk to people/the z team.Would be nice to get to know them better.I wanted to know what the fuck Malevola even was/where she was from.
>>725944028Budget didnt exist for that
Why would they do this? Just have an option between a questionnaire and random
>>725943272He means not the same missions in the same order every time
>>725943886I can imagine Visi being poor enough and having a friend give her a place to stay, though
>>725944009>She didn't even punch him in the face or break his things in front of him or have a guy literally piss on him. You call this a romantic scene?
>>725943886Blazer would've taken Invisigal in out of the kindness of her heart.
The faux 80s aesthetic and inauthentic synthpop also fucking sucks. It screams California hipsterism.
>>725943886>but I also cant imagine Blazer being poor enough to need a roommateThis is exactly why i disregarded the roommate theory and thought the sisters one was more likely
>>725944096Tempted to do this and skip to the end to see if I get good or bad Visi
>>725944191My Visi did none of that
>Be Invisiboy>Formerly a criminal, but now a hardened professional>Intelligent, nihilistic, wicked sense of humor>Investigating a B&E at a donut shop.>There's a body on the floor.>Your new dispatcher is more concerned with making jokes about your dick and asking what donut is your favourite.>Life is suffering, when you're a part of the Phoenix Program.
My cute and retarded wife
>>725944296Blazer's coloration is bugged.
>>725943540My friend did a playthrough where he cut her and romanced BB and she turned out good, she wasn't his most sent either.
>>725944009you just haven't felt something that pure in your life that's why you don't get it
>>725944146Hacking passwords are the same too
>>725944393It's the most basic smoke-and-mirror shit that women do to earn affection
>>725944028Yeah you don't even talk with other SDN dispatchers like galen or even mr whiskey
>>725944384The mystery deepensI've said it before, but what if there's a RNG element to it? If you romance her and don't cut her, it's 100% she's a hero. If you don't do one of those, it's 80%. If you don't do either, it's 40%. If you piss her off every time, it's 0%Would be kino tbqh
>>725944428[FIST HIM]
Reminder that "Your choices will still matter in the sequel" has never worked. If they make a Season 2, there will be a canon fate for Invisigal and if you chose wrong you'll get some half-assed explanation for why that happened anyway and /v/ will get mad just like when Chloe left Max.
>>725943509>Actual kino showing that some people just can't be redeemed and trying will only drag you down with themBut she literally can be... by giving her more chances that she doesn't deserve. But "no one deserves mercy, for if they did, it would not be mercy". It's still your chance to save someone. Didn't you want to be a hero?
>>725944268>creators like a certain aesthetic and try to make it>anon upset that they seem like phoniesThe hipster was you the whole time!
>>725944523Anthologychads are right and sequelfags are gonna learn their lesson all over again. More news at 11.
>>725944523Yeah, there are too many variables, so they will most likely strat cutting off branches. And people will hate it because nobody likes their decisions invalidated.
Unc
>>725944471Based... but personally I think trusting her during the whole break-in is probably the variable with the highest weight of them all
>>725944575it's phony because it doesn't fit the superhero vibe, 80s comics were fucking grim dark and edgy as shit
>>725944523I've seen so many train wreck sequels, that alone puts me off wanting one. Same universe, different characters would be nice.
>>725944523Comparison is doubly applicable to LiS because the devs were retarded enough to think LiS was anything but Chloe and Max's story and it was a good idea to move away from them. Hopefully AdHoc knows what they got here
>>725944471I kept her and trusted her but she still turned evil at the end. Maybe it's also if you lose LA during the shift she turns evil either way. Only non-Visi option I picked was not leaning in for the kiss
>>725944523>>725944640The variable they will soft reset this time around is gonna be Invisigal being a villain.They'll have her rejoin the team within two episodes out of necessity to protect herself or something.And the romances, of course. The game is gonna have you start with all the same romance options no matter which decisions you made, so it's just a matter of giving some references to how things ended up in the first game and then having more "Will they, will they not, who is Robert choosing" type dramaAnd Sonar/Coop will never be in the team so there will always be an excuse to take them out
Kinda forgot Flambae is ancient too
>>725943758She feels guilty for giving him more scarsVery cute.
>>725944534Nah, I don't buy that. It would be a sisyphean work to try to fix Invisigal, especially since she goes out of her way not to be fixed. Because what she has actually done to stop being a YOLO retard? She started off as a loner that can't cooperate with people and she ended as a loner who can't cooperate with people. Because even in Ep 8 she kept doing shady shit on her own instead of just telling Robert what her plan is.>but Robert, trust meNo, that's not how trust works.
>>725944831scratch that, Punch Up is the real unc actually insane hes older than Chase
>>725944824>Sonar is either in jail or finds a job with Vanderstenk>Coop is either in jail or gets hired to be a bodyguard for some leftist politicianSomething like this. And you get a token Dispatch mission for either of they're in the latter scenario.
>>725943540I think rank 12 is necessary for the good ending
>>725944972I think the implication is that by the end of episode 8, if you do right by her and she goes the hero path, she finally stops being a stupid bitch that would do something retarded like the Thumbstick scene.I wish I could have had her on the hero path while cutting her, but for whatever reason, I was not able to.
>>725943074>Endless mode update?They've said before that's on like the absolute bottom of the list of things they might add because it requires changing core systems (I'm guessing mostly the XP gain and how there's a general ramp-up in difficulty for missions); and this is in spite of tons of people asking for it, which they also have acknowledged. So I wouldn't expect one until Season 2 where they can plan for it in advance.
>>725943690It's coming brother have some patient
>>725944705So what? Are you not allowed to use certain aesthetics with certain content (broadly "superheroes" in this case) because an arbitrary historical precedent? If you don't like it, just say you don't like it. Your complaints are nonsensical.
>>725945045Getting Invisigal to Rank 12 within 6 episodes sounds hard, but not impossible. She's a loner, so she gains Exp more easily if you stat her well.I doubt it's strictly necessary, though. Likely, it's just a necessity if you cut her and don't romance her. I think most people almost automatically get the Invisigal hero ending because they romance her.
>>725945173no because the songs they chose are bad
>>725945159Can't wait for Season 2. They're gonna add a roguelite mode. Shit will be lit.
I kinda want them to do a director's cut of this season, if they feel like it.Maybe re-add the sex scenes they talked about, add a bit more extra shifts and flash out the side characters (and blonde blazer) that get no screen time.Also more give Shroud some presence. You only see him in Episode 1, 7 and 8.
>>725945045Jesus fucking Christ. So, the take from this is that I have to play favourites in dispatches and prioritize Invisigal every chance I get at the expense of other members, otherwise, Visi's fragile ego will cause her to turn villain.That's not much of a team-building exercise.
>>725945045>>725945190It is not only not difficult if you give her the EXP boost, Rank 12 isn't a be all end all because I went with BB, was mostly supportive of her, said to go to the docks immediately, cut her, forgave her, didn't untie her, and still got bad FVisi until I went back and untied her.
I don't want a Director Cut for Season 1 because I already played it. Just go work on Season 2 while you also have to do the obligatory Critical Rollsloppa
>>725943074I'd imagine there will probably an endless mode + SoL epilogue DLC at some point
if SDN has palantir levels of security and surveillance how did some small time gang like red ring manage to blow up half the city ?does this mean mandy is going to loose her job in season 2 ?
Hows the gameplay? All the threads make it seem like its a dating sim but on the steam page it looks like 13 sentinels
>>725945390Season 2 won't be around til the 2030s at absolute best.>>725945454It's This is the Police with more bants
>>725945454Gameplay is fun but fairly short and mostly inconsequential to the rest of the game.I wonder how much of it there is total in one playthrough. 2 hours?
Visi = AsukaBB = ReiIt all returns to nothing
game needed more levels like that final one, even if they were extras.
>>725945045fuck this shit why am getting punished for playing with other heroes other than IG ?wtf is wrong with these people
>>725945454Hope you enjoy This is the Police
>>725945416Manager Mandy should be out, Blonde Blazer should stay though.
>>725945494>Season 2 won't be around til the 2030s at absolute best.That's fine. It's gonna take even longer if you get them to work on a director cut in the meantime. Also, I could see a 2028 release. Or even late 2027 if they go hard enough.
>>725945525It goes way back. Arguably to hanging out with Shamhat or Enkidu.
>has asthma >keeps chain smoking>is eventually forced to work for Shroud, because her asthma is killing herHoney, I think this issue might be self inflicted.
i hope dispatch wins something at TGAhopefully spark a genre revival not just for telltale but for new devs and studios
>>725945609Do you faggots even play the game?In what world would you NOT use her? Especially after synergy pops up and sending her with golem like 9x out of 10 makes the fucking mission an auto clear?
>>725945654Smoking is cool
>>725945617I honestly have a feeling that manager Mandy doesn't even like her job all that much. She's the victim of the Peter principle.
>>725945416>>725945617mandy could be jailed for failing to protect all those people getting fired isn't the worst thing that could happen to her
I literally had 0 issues maxing every hero on my playthroughs, sending each to the most appropriate calls statwise, the only one not max before episode 8 was punch up
>>725945654Well yeah, she's obviously self-destructive
>>725945836>Implying SDN doesn't have a million contract clauses that completely protect her ass from any legal repercursionsShyggydiddy
>>725945868Same, had literally everyone maxed by the start of ep 8I assume people werent using Visi's XP buff
>>725945761Maybe. She's certainly wasted doing medium-at-best level office work.
>>725945761Oh totally, she apparently used to be a dispatcher herself and was probably totally fine on normal heroes, and she was probably an incredible team member before that
>>725943198Between Maelle in Expedition 33 and Invisigirl in Dispatch, this truly is the year of women who just can't do the right thing to save their lives.
>>725945691fuck off niggerI play the game like i want to
>>725945667It has Californians as part of the team, so it might.
I'm really hoping that a sequel or DLC has you play as a different dispatcher with a different team. Bumping into Robert as an NPC, as either a fellow dispatcher in the break room or as Mecha Man on your team would be fun. Just have slight nods to choices made in the main game, like leaderboard callouts did heroes or Robert is eating lunch with the chosen LI (or just playing with Beef if he went with no one) and they're good.
>>725943809she was just being a thief, old habits die hard
>>725945959>waaah I play the game how I want to no matter how inefficient>waaah why does the game punish me for not playing efficiently
>>725945930>I assume people werent using Visi's XP buffOh yeah, I trained Visi to give her the mission warning skill and it didn't fucking work. Bravo, Ad Hoc.>>725945956Verso is E33's Invisigal, albeit. He did everything wrong. Except Invisigal isn't even a tenth as manipulative as Verso.
>>725945692>>725945882>gemini
>>725945959>play the game like a fucking retard>WHY AM I GETTING PUNISHED FOR PLAYING LIKE A FUCKING RETARD
>>725943074>Season 2? Realistically, how long do we have to wait?
>>725945761I dunno, people in the office seems to like her as a friend and respect her as a boss, and apart from forcing you to fire a Z-Team member early on, she seems to be doing alright when a big crisis hits and when shit really hits the fan she's invaluable.
>Do you like Telltale and movie games? Their early work was a little too Monkey Island for my tastes, but when The Walking Dead came out in 2012, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. >The whole game has a clear, crisp episodic story, and a new, well-hidden mechanic of fake choices that really gives the game a big boost. They've been compared to David Cage, but I think Telltale has a far more down to earth, restrained sensibility.>In 2014, Telltale released this, The Wolf Among Us, their most accomplished game. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Episode 3: A Crooked Mile”. A chapter so immersive, most people probably don’t listen to the dialogue. But they should! Because it’s not just a story about fairy-tale noir and murder - it’s a subtle commentary on community policing and the limitations of a libertarian government.>HEY, COOP!>TRY GETTING A SPOT IN THE Z-TEAM NOW, YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARD
>>7259460801 month
>>725945045I don't believe this. I used a cheat menu to just skip the dispatches, it just auto fails all the events and none of my heroes were leveled at all but visi still took a bullet for me.
>>725945160Less this more scenes like her kissing Rob's hand in the hospital or flying him through the skies on their first date
>>725945978You are 100% correct, but at the same time, if that's the case, then why is there so little variability between the consequences at the end of the first season? If they knew they were gonna go for an anthology, they could have had more actual consequences at the end. I don't buy that they didn't have the budget for it, considering all the differences for Coop/Sonar, Phenomeman/Waterboy and BB/Invisigal there were.
>>7259460802 years minimum.
Prism status?
>>725946226Soaked
>>725946120lol
>>725946080Assets are already done for the most part, betting on MINIMUM 4 years
>>725946120nice
>>725945978A season 2 will obviously have some new characters but this is absolutely a character-driven work and I can't imagine the studio risking less interest in a sequel by dropping Robert, BB and Visi
>>725944428Literally who says no here and why?
>>725946226Depressed
>>725946226Are her clones physical entities?Could one jerk you off?
>>725946226Thank you for carrying me Prism my QUEEN
>>725945978I could see this working
>>725946080They gotta do an Exandria game first so I’m guessing it will be a while. 4 years+?
>>725946329>but this is absolutely a character-driven workAnd they can just make new characters. Season 1's story was already told.>and I can't imagine the studio risking less interest in a sequel by dropping Robert, BB and VisiYou're right about this, though, they will be pussies. Still, (You) will be seething when they don't continue the story the way you want them to.>>725946357Me.Get back, motherfucker, you don't know me like that.
>>725946390Yeah they have mass and are solid, prism is supremely op if you logically think about her possible power usage
>>725946283>betting on MINIMUM 4 yearsOkay, four years sounds like way too much. It doesn’t even have gameplay, 3D models, or an open world. Why would it take that long?
>>725946080>Look Robert, Blazer and I did the fusion dance and now we're Blalevola!>You gotta do it, you can't be Blalevola anymore, as funny as this character is.
>>725946390Yes, Shroud grabs one so they are tangible
>>7259460803 years, i dont think the next adhoc x critcalrole game will happen anytime soon, maybe we can get a dlc but nothing more than that
Foursome with Prism, Malevola and a clone of Malevola...
>>725946283>>725946447This is retarded. Waiting this long, no one will give a shit anymore. It's not a hard game to do, if they want this thing to work Q1 2027 is the latest it should take.
>>725946563moar
>>725945978Robert and Visi sold this game, everyone wants more of these characters they would be retards to throw it all away for another unsatisfying 4 hour story.
>>725946460Given he knows Robert is Mecha Man on account of salvaging his suit, he actually DOES know him like that, and the bro fist is probably just some level of fanaticism on his part.
>>725946447They're fucking crazy if they're not prioritizing another Dispatch game. A new whatever-the-fuck game would mean starting again from scratch in terms of market position
>>725946460Man I remember romancing Jacob in Mass Effect for shits and giggles and still seething that he abandons you in the 3rd game to get with some other chick because he couldn't wait for you to get out of jail. Nothing can get me more upset than that other than either of the girls outright cucking Robert (which wouldn't happen)
>>725945761This is all based on headcanon about how cutting Coupe was a bad choice, right? Even Robert admits it was the right one via autodialogue and I don't think we are supposed to believe he's wrong. Other than that we just know she's respected and her office runs well. And that she appointed Robert.
>>725946647I think you are really underestimating how big the Critical Role fanbase is.
>>725945045i used nearly everyone else more and still succeeded
What the fuck is his problem?
>>725943074Last thread got hyper lame and gay so we're gonna try to make it better this time. USe this template and stat out>Track Star>Mr. Whiskey>Equilibrium>Brickhouseor whichever other hero that we don't have real abilities/stats for that you like. Like the magnet person in the office.

>>725946624It’s been 12 years since TWAU and people would gobble the sequel down. Most games that aren’t yearly slop like FIFA and CoD etc have a few years between them naturally due to the size of those games
>>725946110Because similarly to Robert, she's an exceptional leader and team-builder, but she's not a corporate pencil-pusher. She's also caring and idealistic to a fault, to the point Robert has to point out to her that hugs and kisses won't work with a bunch of supervillains.Even though the supervillains in question wouldn't even dare to shittalk Blazer out of sheer respect, so she's doing something right.
>>725946712I think you are really underestimating how big current Dispatch fanbase is and how little it overlaps with Critical Role
>>725946727Clearly doing shady shit with that crazy security system and massive safe needing to be melted/cut through
>>725943074And I'll even repost the Hero Shroud one kit.
>>725946636>Given he knows Robert is Mecha Man on account of salvaging his suitI didn't know that when I made the choice albeit, he was just some random guy introducing himself while I was pissing.

>>725943074I have never seen gameplay from this game I have only seen the guy voiced by Charlie. Does this even have gameplay?
>>725946712What the fuck is Critical Role?
>>725946460I think they will probably send Robert to new team, possibly starting heroes this time and have some interactions with your LI.
>>725946774TWAU is an exception. And a game like Dispatch is not a sizeable game to do compared to everything else you listed. A glorified VN shouldn't take 4 years to make that's nuts.
>>725946890>brains>Visibruh
>>725946668I just think it's crazy that you see stuff like Mass Effect where your choices never matter in the sequel (The Wrex replacement lmao) and still want developers to continue doing that when an anthology so easily fixes the problem and gives them more freedom to have consequences for each season. But I accept that you will be the one to be catered to.
>>725946080They made this in 3 years after fuking around for 4 and they will be working with critical slop for their next game witch in best case scenario it will take 2 to 3 years to finish so probably 2031 or later
wait this is a gameI thought it was a comic being spammed here for some reason
>>725946904chickenshit compared to the attention Dispatch has, this shit is TWD S1 level of praise, no one outside of NA gives 2 shits about tabletop slopt. SEAchad
>>725946630Yeah it would be retarded to not lean into Robert+Visi for another season and cap off the storyline properly, especially now that they'll have funds to not cut as much content. Depends on how hard CR has them by the balls with the contract for DnD
>>725946935They're not hiring Aaron Paul again to not have him be the MC.
>>725947027>SEAchadThere is no such thing.
>>725946756Mr. Whisky must be a high CHA build, probably okay INT and VIG, but low speed and combat.
>>725946965It doesn't fix the problem, it lobotomizes it to never happen in the first place. Nobody wants 4 hour stories with characters this intricate.
>it''s kinda morbid...which I'm kind of intoI'm not sure why this did things to me but it did
>>725947027Blazerfag...
>>725946939I just minmax everyone based on their starting stats, minimum in a stat is never getting increased unless it really makes sense storywise
>>725947027based SEAchadI also barely understand what Critical Role is, myself, though I do think they're all good voice actorst. Yurochad
>>725946762>>your FighterFlambae/Punch up>>your BrainsSonar/Visi>>your CharismaPrism/Malevola>>your MobilityFlambae/Waterboy>>your VigorGolem/Punch upMalevola in general was my most all rounder, and ended up being my most used.
>>725947089Because shes hot
>>725946774Dispatch is tiny though. The actual gameplay is effectively a good Newgrounds Flash game while the cutscenes use a simplistic art style and total fewer than 4 hours altogether for an average playthrough.
>>725946854I mean yeah that's fair I guess. Honestly if that happened to me irl I'd probably just end up going along with it sheerly out of not knowing how to respond to such a maneuver while I'm taking a piss.
>>725947076This story could have been excellently well told with merely 2 more episodes. Or hell, even just a rewrite would have probably helped a ton already. Quantity isn't quality, and the longer a story goes, especially when you have it be full of cutscenes, the harder it is to have your choices matter at all. You have to sacrifice length or quality here.
>>725947101proud Visisimp btw
>>725946929It was the name of a streamed twitch/YouTube D&D campaign that got so big it split off the channel that used to host it and became standalone then became so big they made a company named off it which then became so big they kickstarted an animated series with Amazon which just now dropped a preview of their new show on Amazon that got 1 mil views in a day. Suffice to say, it’s fucking big
>>725946929Voice actor friends decided to make their home D&D games into a livestream, and then decided to build a company off of it. They cut a deal with AdHoc (funding to finish Dispatch, help make merch and non-video game spin-offs) which will result in a Critical Role-based game to be made. As of July the game is only in early stages with no set story concept or budget planned; but it's supposed to be similar to Dispatch overall.

>>725946928It's a telltale game. Which, if you're too young to know what that implies, means you mostly watch a movie unfold while sometimes making choices that generally impact the way things unfold. Optionally you do QTEs during action scenes. This game also has the dispatch segments though where you basically manage your heroes and send them out to solve crimes that suit their individual stats as best as possible.
>>725947235You don't. They just can't bloat it with new characters and romances like they usually do. They could easily get a good 3-4 seasons without the choices being too hard to manage, most of the loose ends are already tied for the first season.
>>725947021Can you post more? I don't really care about the charts, but I love the abilities.Also, Get Up is too busted. You can take away the "Can no longer be downed" and it's still great.
>>725947060I meant Robert will be MC, just with the new team and some scenes with LI. Story could focus on heroes falling from grace and address his father and shroud. Maybe more BB focus tihs time.
>>725946774TWAU was one of the first telltale games and back then it had no competition and it was very new now there are many telltale games clones and companies that split from TT out there
>You get a different scene if you tell her to stop Granny instead of ThundercuckWhat the fuck, I wanted my cute salute
>>725947287>streamed twitch/YouTube D&D campaign
>>725947436>most of the loose ends are already tied for the first season.Yeah, anon, that's the problem, in my view. The season converged on everything already for the sake of a second season. It would have been so much more kino if there were a lot of wildly different endings here.
I think this thread has a heavy HEAVY obsession with "choices mattering" to an obscene degree because even in most japanese visual novels they kind of don't matter because they just lead you to a dead end where you have to reload the fucking game to choose the right answer. Yes there are "routes" but that's essentially their own standalone story with the same issue where you just get a game over if you choose wrong. This game actually does a decent job in giving some dialogue variation depending on what you choose, and is already miles better than how most if not all telltale games handled decision making, and this was on a shoestring budget up until the end. The game has a lot of writing problems, though, especially with the last two episodes..
>>725946080If they are smart, 2 years tops>>725945654I can fix her
>>725947292You could probably write a thesis about how masterfully they have leveraged their IP for the parasocial spergs in the community to essentially milk them with minimal effort. I respect the hustle, I hate that AdHoc is getting hijacked for a project I fucking detest over a potential S2.
>villain Visi acquirers when your choices matter but it's a subtle combination of 10 factors instead of just pick 1 of 15 endings
>>725947358More people have heard of it than people who have heard of Dispatch
>>725945692>>725945882Cat really fits her
>>725945667The problem is that every time a game defeats expectations, copycats take all the wrong lessons from it.
I can't stop thinking about the party scene in episode 6.It hurts.
>>725947490also miss out on her saying that he's kinda caked up kek
>>725947535>I think this thread has a heavy HEAVY obsession with "choices mattering" to an obscene degreeCause it's kino. You ever played Detroit: Become Human? That's basically the promise with all of these games.>This game actually does a decent job in giving some dialogue variation depending on what you choose, and is already miles better than how most if not all telltale games handled decision making, and this was on a shoestring budget up until the end.I agree with that. I think the only reason why this game isn't perfect in terms of choices, especially at the end, is because they want to set up a season 2 so they can't have the scenarios diverge too wildly from one another.
>>725946720I am guessing but it's probably a hidden point system that get affected by how much you sent her and interactions outside of work
>>725947510I see the opportunity for a full and complete oddysey of a romance which is so rare in vidya. I will easily sacrifice some goofy endings to get it.
>>725947615As a Yuro that has little understanding of what Critical Roll is, I really would be interested in seeing if the Critical Roll game is gonna mog Dispatch in terms of Steam peak. I wouldn't be surprised either ways, but I have no idea.
>>725943690A lot of the messy story goes away if you just don’t take Shroud at his word. Is he meant be taken as a liar or did they really turn him into a walking exposition dump?
>>725947628
>>725944684Robert loses his ear 1999Chase is 20 in 2003Shroud kills Mechaman in 2004Chase is 39 during the events of Dispatch(2022)Robert started being Mechaman in 2007 (15 years to current time)Robert was like what? 9 in 1999? 13 in 2003? So he was Mechaman since he was 17? So he's 30-32, give or take.
>>725947690Detroit also has a massive budget and a AAA studio worth of devs Theyre not comparable
>>725947724>for a full and complete oddysey of a romanceThat's the other thing, though, they're gonna make BB vs Invisigal another choice in season 2, which is gonna necessitate some kind of tension that means it's not just gonna be a full romance.And they'll probably add new romance options too.Fuck, I can't even imagine the level of autism these threads will get if they add gay romance options as well.
>>725943198I want to protect that smile
>>725947785Cuddling with Courtney when suddenly she starts going https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY7t8ow2gOM
>>725947780Even if you don't take Shroud at his word it just makes his character look retarded and highly incompetent after building him up so hard.
feel like shit brosall i want is to be loved by a real life visi
>>725947287Oh those niggas didn't they kick one of their members because he was so fuking annoying>HRLol
>>725947882Flambaesed
>>725947724This. They need to use a modicum of their fucking brain power to realize that players would fucking love if they could play out a full romance path with their waifu pick. To that end, they shouldn't expand the romance choices because it would heavily dilute screentimes. And it would be downright orgasmic if they avoided shitty clichees and drama came from outside of the relationship. Give me a power couple that does shit together.
>>725947882The choice was fine in this season, as long as they don't add any new ones it will be easy to push these two romances for anither few seasons. The devs didn't even think of it as a priority and they managed this
>>725947867Like I said, I don't think it's a budget or competence issue that there are relatively few consequential endings in Dispatch. The effort they went through to have all the differences based on Coop/Sonar, Phenomeman/Waterboy and BB/Invisigal suggest otherwise.I think it's a decision to make it easier to converge for season 2.
>>725947981Like 8 years ago
>>725947690DBH outside of being normie MLK reductionist dribble was also only good when mr. krabs and his gay butler were on screen and there were 2 endings of their route outside of "get gay butler killed early". There is 0 overlap functionally or thematically with Dispatch and there is 0 reason why you would want one to become the other
>>725947776I guarantee it will. Their latest campaigns first vid already has 4.5 mil views plus its D&D based so you’re going to have the BG3 crowd who jumps in on it
>>725943074Nothing. They're gonna sit on their ass because it's a fotm telltale slop fest.
>>725948005Honestly, I have no problem with them adding a gay romance option or two, but I would feel like it'd be very cheap if Flambae was one of them. It doesn't fit the character, in my opinion. Still, these guys love pandering and Flambae is immensely popular, so I could see it.
Post yfw https://youtu.be/4vDDUWnrlAo?si=OzNH4vRiOvBonUiN
https://files.catbox.moe/l7yuk4.jpg
>>725948006This is gonna be mass effect all over againDispatch 2’s gonna have options for Malevola and Prism romance as well as Flambae, waterboy, and phenomaman
>>725948139Grim. I want more Dispatch or even better, more unique games with their own settings that aren't capeshit. Ad Hoc becoming the Critical Roll company is my bad case scenario. Basically just Telltale doing licensed slop 2.0
>>725948071>I dont think it's a budget issueThey LITERALLY ran out of money and needed Critical Role to bail them out

>>725948208My biggest fear simply because of how many people are simping for their ecelebs that are part of their dumb little VA cabal so they might actually listen.
>>725948259Right, anon, but game development doesn't work in a way where they like had all the work done on episodes 1 through 6 and then they ran out of budget while working on the cutscenes for the last two episodes. You're thinking too linearly here.
Does anyone just not gaf about Malevola? So many people say they would pick her if she was an option. Never liked those devil looking characters I killed of Karlach the moment I met her in Baldurs Gate 3
>>725948208Hm, maybe people are right. Maybe this shouldn't get a sequel and just be left to fade into memory. I'd rather that than too many cooks start spoiling the stew.
>>725948340Could you stop with the AIsloppa, please?
>>725948405alanah ruins her by being the voicethe transistor sword and portals are cool though
>>725948405Reddit simps for alanah
>>725948405I like her interactions with Sonar but no I really don't care about her much and it's not even because she's a demon I just think she's the least interesting character on the team
I actually don't know why they didn't let Rob fuck the flaming faggot because there is no way that wouldn't cause attention among women internet users to increase tenfold.
>>725948490Which is crazy because she's objectively bad at voice acting. At least with Charlie the monotone voice worked for Sonar.
>>725948405I don't really care for her. Her voice ruins her, and she has feet with ugly shoes instead of hooves.
>>725947724>full and complete oddysey of a romanceten years of visi....we will never get this anon stop feeding me copium

>>725947438>Also, Get Up is too busted. You can take away the "Can no longer be downed" and it's still great.Fair enough, I tried following the pattern of Win Harder vs mitigate losses.If Robert ever gets injured, he's automatically downed instead as per his base passive.So Get UP is basically meant to be a one time save (which can be wasted if he failed a non-risky job) and a way to still make use of him. I'd probably cut the Downed immunity (still loses stats from injuries) and keep the ability as a once per dispatch will pass the call no matter what.His mentor one is the win harder skill because he buffs whoever he works with for their next call which allows for success cascades.

>>725948637>Some faggot voice actorsYeah, certainly not some of the most well-known VAs out there.
>>725948849NopeEverything resets to be the same no matter which choices you make

>>725947596>I sucked her off but never mentored her and she's a villain, how could this happen to me!?
>>725948727Finally, a girl I like. Get her in Z-team, stat!
>>725948540Something I'm realizing lately is that not pandering to fags gets you just as much attention from them, if not more, than if you pandered to them. With the added benefit of getting to keep an actual audience instead of pushing said audience away.
>>725949171Bro I dont care, I wanna eat uni with my bro PMan, she can fuck off
>>725948849Taken from another anon cause I don't feel like typing it up myself>You can side with Kenny, Jane or stay at Wellington (legendary settlement that the entire season revolves around reaching)>S3 you get a flashback from Clementine perspective where Jane acks herself, Kenny dies in a car crash (during the zombie apocalypse) and Wellington (this settlement with reputation reaching half of post-apo USA) just dies offscreen to some bandits to force Clementine to be a loner again
I know everyone gets their panties in a bunch over it and I agree that Radio is still the better song for the scene, but that fartbarf song is actually pretty fucking dope. The drop in it is cool.

Now that the dust has settled, put you bias to one side for a minute and answer me why exactly invisigirl is more popular than blonde blazer?
How should I spend my level up points for each character bros
>>725948891Cope
>>725949087Caring about voice actors is faggotry, as is being a voice actor.
>>725949305That's my issue with everything past S2. It feels like they just have to keep coming up with reasons for Clementine to stay on the run. Her reaching Wellington with your psychopath of choice and having to leave them behind for a shot at a better life is a fine enough ending and they should have just stopped there.
>>725949403BB has HR woman energy
>>725948152I’d say it fits solely as a rivalry/enemies to lovers kind of arc. That kind of dynamic especially amongst gay pairings. Fujos and gays tend to eat that up. Although, if AdHoc were to humor the idea of a gay romance option which I doubt ever happening. Another likely candidate would be Phenomaman. There are plenty interested in getting with him instead.
How would she do on Z-Team?
>>725949403Episode 4 has the choice that effectively locks you in, and that starts with the wet dream.
>>725944972>he didn't catch on that her implants were the spyCan't exactly tell Robert what's up while you're wearing a fucking wire.
>>725949403the game is clearly written to be robert and visi's game. you are supposed to dis/like her as decided for you by the writers
>>725949534Her power is inherently pretty villain-coded so I think it would be tough.
>>725949403>Episodes 3-6 are heavily focused on Invisigal>The dream scene>Invisigal is much more sexually forward>"I can fix her">Episode 4's scene is shot in the way that pushes you to choose Invisigal (you talk to her first and get her perspective, including of your rejection, Blazer contacts you through a text, and you don't get to see her perspective at all)>This is my boyfriend, Phenomaman>I'm dumping my boyfriend, because I want to shake things up>You need to cut someone, because I want to shake things up>Blonde Blazer is not actually blonde and wants to be just Mandy
>>725949403invisgirl is way more involved in the plot than Blonde Blazer. BB straight up doesn't even appear in Episode 5 if you don't romance her.
>>725948943
>>725949534I didn't watch the whole show but from what I saw of her, she didn't seem that much worse than Coop or Flambae.
>>725944354Mandy is also a cute retarder for us mommyfags who picked both bb and Courtney >Oh no Robert won't like me I'm really a 5ft10 thick brunette instead of a 6ft blondeShe was so much hotter without the gay amulet
>>725948943>an alien that took human formThat's what he said right? I'd have enjoyed having him snap after BB dumping him, revealing he's some kind of monstrosity that would decrease his popularity

So what are the bunch of ways they could try to consolidate the two routes?One route I have seen brought up is a version of this:>New criminal organization has shown up in L.A./Terrence>On the good route, SND has Invisigal infiltrate the organization, so she is stressed out>On the bad route, Invisibitch decides to cooperate with SDN in bringing them downThat way you can keep most of her scenes and the dialog same because being undercover she would be antagonistic to Robert/SDNNot saying it's a good story, but what other ways could they try to do it that doesn't feel like a complete copout with having to make two separate games?>>725949403One part is being a delicious brown tomboy and her personality/story is like catnip to GoslingsSecond part is BB getting kind of shafted in the first half of the story.I am all in on Invisigal but she got a major push in the first half of the game while BB gets her push in the second.I would have preferred more even distribution of moments for both girls, maybe there would be less vitriol.
>>725945045Dunno why people are bitching, if you use your team properly you should be close to maxing out everybody. We quite literally must be better dispatchers.
>>725948943Her "what the fuck" is adorable.
I'M A BITCHMY NAME'S ROBERT
>>725949914far worse games have been shilled for their tomboys, you only get mad when it's western
>>725949403Sex scene + Vis's screentime is shoved around the episodes where you make the choice while BB's best moments are afterward
>>725949939Whats the plot, a Supervillain turned low level ringleader forced to turn a bunch of ex heroes into supervillains?
>>725945045There is no way rank 12 is necessary. I think I barely even reached 10 with her, I told her that I never want to see her again and still got hero.
>>725949403While this might sound like a biased answer, I think it's probably true that a character like Invisigal is going to be more interesting to more players. BB is a predictable character with a pleasant personality, and it's hard to foresee any twists that would spice things up in a romance with her.
>>725950041>conveniently bypasses the capeshit part
>>725949676>Phenomaman hates himself and is considered incredibly ugly by the beauty standards of his peopleBlazer probably should've bailed a long time ago but that provides a lot of good context for why he said this.
Who should she have used for the joke?
has the curse been broken
>>725950114I don't see why that should matter/v/ is tomboy owned
>>725949925Plenty of people also just put up with it for a sequel to the game they liked, so that's not quite apt as examples go. My point is really just that you can straight up not include the gays in your game and they will still do free marketing for your game. Look at Persona. Those fags can't shut the fuck up about you not being able to romance men. They literally never can.
>>725950102I didn't even know you could go to 12
>>725949964I meant to say >without feeling like a complete copout>OR having to make two different games, which they won't do
>>725950041>tomboys>western dogshit cgiYeah, pass.
What do i need to do to get the worst ending possible?
>BB breaks up with Pman because his dick is too big for heroh he's just like me frfr
>>725949534She'd clash with Visi because she would obviously be desperately trying to fuck Robert as well
>>725950187Tango and Cash.
>>725949403More relevance in the early chapters, a freer personality, and more comedy, that’s what hooks a lot of people. BB, on the other hand, is a slower, more intimate kind of romance.
>>725950239k, bye
>>725950101Something like that, and since the supervillains are the underdogs, every dispatch would have some sort of detection meter and if it goes to 100% you automatically lose cause the heroes raid youAlso, since most missions are about YOU causing trouble rather than reacting to something else, you'd get more freedom on what you can do, but it also becomes about knowing when to pull out before you eat shit for your trouble.
>>725950201Western studios have always been capable of making attractive women, it just never happens with AAA studios because they don't want to offend ugly women.
>>725949403At the start i assumed everyone would go for superhero lady with massive proportionsthe struggle relationship between rob and visi felt more impactful so i perused her instead

>>725950493keep proving you don't belong here
>>725950241Dont brofist royd
>>725949964It would be a mistake to tie Dispatch to anyone they can't reliably bring back (like Aaron Paul).These games seem to be at least partially based on play within a tabletop setting, so a new season would likely involve a different SDN branch. If they wanted to keep the former supervillains angle they could say SDN is trying to reproduce the success of the Z-team, but you could also just have a team of rookie heroes.The key elements that would well-define a franchise run would be mentorship and comradery. The better the improv chemistry the more things are likely to work.
>>725950597keep thinking i care
>>725950243No, she breaks up with Pman because he is only interested in BB, not Mandy. She also seeks a simple life, while he wants them both to die facing some cosmic entity in a heroic finale.
>>725950640umad lmao
>>725950624>anyone they can't reliably bring back (like Aaron Paul).Aarons already said hes hoping to do multiple seasons so that seems unlikely
>>725950219I suppose but Persona 2 while different from its contemporaries. Did feature the option to express romantic interest in one of the male companions, Jun. Sure there’s no dating and the only thing it changes are the demon negotiations. And yes it wasn’t done for representation. It was an attempt to cater to fujos. Which kind of surprises me Atlus doesn’t go all out for that demographic. The spend a shit ton as any waifufag. Not to mention P5R sprinkling in crumbs for the Shuake shippers. It’s a wonder why they don’t make another attempt.

Attention, all gamers.First Prism SFM porn has been made.https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=15490747&tags=dispatch_%28game%29
Can we agree that E5 was the best directed one?
kek so that comic wasn't doing its own thing, Eli was always meant to be a geek
>>725951152BB will never be a real blonde and you know it
>>725951258Ngl, I was expecting it to be SonarPretty low quality but people gotta make this shit from scratch
>>725949403Plot relevancy, being written as a millennial writer dreamgirl, "I can fix her", and Arcane-type fans who jumped into the fanbase soon after seeing a "Vi"-like after the dream scene went viralChapter 2 ending ruined for a lot of people their view on Blazer and I mean it's terrible from the writer perspective, and people starting assuming that her coming off strong was such a red flag they rather not risk it. Only for chapter 7 and 8 to be what everyone that wasn't simping for Invisigal could realize from the start.
>>725951315Explains him sperging out over BB
>>725951258>Immediately assaulted by an entire page of BB AI slopWHY are they like this
>>725951391>Arcane-type fansThis is as far as possible from Arcane as it can be. Arcane actively leaned into pointless, nonsencial misery at every opportunity.
Alright everyone, we've tabulated all the final results from people's playthroughs and run it through our AI-powered analytics to determine the perfect direction for Dispatch 2:In Dispatch 2 you play as Richard Richardson, a wealthy vigilante hero called Nightman that loses access to his vast array of gadgets when his mansion is destroyed. Luckily you are quickly offered a job at SDN by the Aryan Aphrodite (played by Sydney Sweeney) while you find a way to recover.As a Dispatcher at SDN you'll have to mentor a team of ambiguously ethnically diverse young women that just need Richard Richardson to put his belief in them over and over again. All of whom are voiced by Laura Bailey.How did we do? Are you wishlisting yet?
>>725951502I think the "worse" animation in this game looks ten times better i hate arcane
>>725951502I was talking more on Twitter, since that's what also affects the polls in game. There's sadly a lot of Arcane fans who saw a Vi type of character and jumped straight into it
>>725951315So this is what the average BBfag looks like? kek
>>725951502brother everyone's first comment upon seeing invisibitch is "oh hey that's Vi" and her gooner scene was heavily circulated on social media, where arcanefags live
>>725949403Because the game literally shoves Visi down your throat. You only have a chance to hook up with Blazer once and once that's done, that's done.On the other hand, Invisigal keeps hitting on you all the way through and won't take no for an answer, so eventually you'll end up with her regardless, unless you actively fight against it. And most players have no sense of self preservation, so they just go for a toxic cute retard, because boobies.
>>725951473presumably for the same reason the people who posted 280 IG ones are like that
>>725951605I wonder what the reaction is when they realize Visi is actually competent and proactive when compared to Vi
>>725951258Come to think about it>First SFM porn of Dispatch ever>It's PrismKneel before your nubian queen
>The sketches didn't have Golem happily giving the middle fingerGood addition by the animators
>>725951726>Visi is actually competentThe what now?
>>725951221>trouble if she wasn't a smokerI will be real with you senpai no cope but I think the writer didn't think about that he made her a smoker because that looks cool and didn't think about how it effects the Asthma
>>725951726>Visi is actually competent
>>725949534it seems kind of redundant to have TWO cute lovesick mask-wearing girls who can turn invisible by holding their breath
>>725951726>visi is actually competent lolBut also, they absolutely despised the kiss in the locker, they pull the shit of "oh baby I'm sorry for you that you had a writer did that to you"Which yeah, I can't excuse it, scene is terrible if you are dating the other girl. Maybe it gets a pass if you date her.
>>725951803That's dumb, she's self destructive she does self destructive things you have to fix her with robert cock.
Galen is based and the anti-BB shitposter isn't doing himself favors by trying to pretend he isn't
>>725945045Well I maxed her int out and she's still retarded, so I'm not buying it.
>>725951696>Because the game literally shoves Visi down your throat.>BB's E4 date scene is extended in runtime compared to Visi>BB steals the spotlight in E7>BB steals the spotlight in E8 in dispatch mode, resurrects chase and gets a proper heart-to-heart if you romance her>Meanwhile Visi gets shat on in E6 (for no reason, even though she's right to want to go to the warehouse), gets shunned by everyone in E7, and gets treated like dirt in E8 before the very finale>the epilogue is throwing her into an ambulance and having the same dialogue whether you romanced or notBBbros I can understand being mad about people vibing with Visi more, but let's not be schizo about how the game pans out in the back half
Visi's character would've worked way better if she was like 17-19. A 27 year old shouldn't be this retarded.
>>725951803no that's probably the only thought they put into her characterit portrays self destructivenesseverything between her and shroud in the end needed a lot more thought
>>725951996>t. does not interact with real women
>>725951996Cat ladies would have a melty.
>>725951996Age gap romance, in this economy?
>Canonical photo in the artbook doesn't have visi in itHUH?
>>725951996it's very clear that she was originally that age but they brought up her up closer to Robert to keep tumblrettes from screeching. Which is kinda pointless since they're screeching anyway.
>>725951991>>BB steals the spotlight in E7>>BB steals the spotlight in E8You've already made the choice by then.>>Meanwhile Visi gets shat on in E6This is there to make you like her more. It's really transparently cheap writing trick to head off the player actually feeling angry. "Look, all of the other teammates are being so mean to poor Visi when she was just trying to help, go give her a hug!"
>>725952098She's invisible
>>725951996Must have been an executive decision.She really feels like she should around 20.
>>725951996A lot of you are over 30 and still retarded, though.
>>725951887>scene is terrible if you are dating the other girl.Yeah, she goes "I want you to look at me the way you look at her" and tries to forcibly kiss you, even though she realizes you have hots for Blazer.Did nobody in the writing room realize how unfortunate that sounds?
>>725952098S-s-she's invisible
>>725952047>>725952062>>725952102Then just cut the romance. Their whole dynamic is that he's her mentor and surrogate parental figure.
>>725952098VisiShroudbros we won>>725952125she be comes partially visible in that photo if you get the hero ending.
>>725943509I was ready to forgive her going halfcocked in the warehouse and having Chase sacrifice himself for her if she just instantly gave you the Astral Pulse, that she stole from both you and Shroud. But she not only hides it from you, but then goes and reveals she is the reason you lost your suit and were in a coma for 3 months and got lucky to not be fucking dead by her planting a bomb.Jesus may forgive her, but I say fuck that.
>>725951790>>725951858>>725952174Shroudniggas actually fucking seething
>>725952174>>725943509
Wait so people actually like that disgusting short haired nose ring smoking stank breath brownoid? lmao

>>725946080saved
>>725952294wait so everyone but Paul recorded their lines at home with their computer mics? that explains a lot.
>>725952221You don't get it anon. She wanted to protect you from Shroud that way. In the meantime, Shroud's goons are torturing Robert to death.So, thanks for the effort.
>>725952208honestly maybe that's how it was but they wanted an edgy girl romance and it paid off for them seeing as how the game's sales like tripled after episode 4.
>>725952326Replace her route with Malevola and give both her and the other girl sex scenes. Done. Worked for BG3.
>>725952208I think Adhoc is doing fine with its creative decisions. It's not your forte.
>None of the color key has any Invisigal in it>But it has once again the full team photo without VisiUUUUUUUUUH>>725952398That's not Laura Bailey but it does kinda look like Flambae's voice actor
>>725951089Says a mutt subhuman
>>725952592BB was the dance partner in the color key too. Makes ya think.
>>725952592That's also not Travis Willingham.
writers really thought people wouldn't notice how stupid the "SHE WAS A PLANT THE WHOLE TIME ROBERT" would beif they didn't show his goons letting her go free, you could argue he was just fucking with robertbut by showing that, it just means that she lied to robert again during her supposed heartfelt confession
>>725952719She is insecure she just assumed everyone would believe shroud.
>>725952719This plot point should have been brought up at the end of episode 6, then things would make more sense in episode 7 and 8.
>>725952719I guess they wanted to make her feel both like a hero and a villian at the same time to cover for both endings. But the end result is that the character just becomes schizofrenic.Thankfully, it is only a problem for people who romanced Invisigal, because BBfans are having a grand time all across the episode.
>>725949403>laura bailey>brown>short hair>sex dream>I can fix her angst>jumps on roberts dick hard teasing him about the dream>tragic backstory that directly involves both the antagonist and the protagonist>most of her scenes are mandatory>has a dance scene with a track that sounds like it was made for her>perceived screentimeIf Blazer also had a dream/sex scene of her doing a leg lock or something along with a flashback of her fighting alongside Mechaman she might've been more popular.
>>725952592visi is in that one with Royd and Robert tied up.
>>725952003Truer but it doesn't seem to be acknowledges by anyone in the universe like not even a passing mansion
>>725952891Nah, I romanced BB and it was still clear schizophrenic writing. Not to mention that the dog scene is stupid and has nothing to do with Invisigal or BB.Also, if we want to nitpick bad writing on BB's part, you have BB not thinking of giving Chase the amulet until the end.
>>725950946i didnt protect her smile
>>725948405The design makes my peepee feel funny but she's kinda bland honestly and the VA is awful
you guys realise they won't let you have a season 2 without injecting a HEFTY dose of gay faggotry in right ?mark my words
>>725952398Looks like they're just posing for reference
>>725953024nah BITCH haha
>>725953024I don't care unless they force it on me. If it's choices they add, it's fine.
>>725953032It's this. Retards don't know how shit is actually made. Just being able to have someone pose for you makes it 10000x easier to plan out and draw.
>>725952592>Laura Bailey came in and saved the projectCINEMA
>>725950241be a dick to Visi at every turn and suck at dispatching, hacking, and QTE'ing.
>>725952664about what
Reminder he's a serial rapist.
>>725953083yeah its okay if they waste 33% of the dev time on a gay option for 0.01% of the audience
>>725952398Those are just reference poses, they aren't the actors
>>725953024in this game, even more so than the other ones recently, you literally control and click your choices. just don't pick the gay ones bro its not hard
>>725953024I don't care as long as I still have cute invisible villain wife.
>>725949403Invisigal gets picked because she had the sex sceneIf they add the sex cuts back in the stats would skew back to Blonde Blazer
>Visi killed Shroud>didn't romance anyoneAt least I saved LA...
>>725953120About your kike owners
>>725953142Do you not realize how much a pussy you sound for already bitching in advance about potential options you don't like being added? Enough with the victim complex. Man up.
>>725952225That was my first ending and I regret nothing
>He didn't kill ShroudOH NO NO NO
>>725953343It's okay Visi did for me.
>>725953228The jobber of Telltale games
>>725949403Because she got the only "sex" scene and had more screentime for episodes 2-6.
>>725953024Not on my watch BITCH
>>725953343We’re heroes anon. No matter our personal feelings we owe them mercy. Even chase saved visi
>>725953319i don't care enjoy your gay propaganda slop tho
>>725952910heh
>not getting TRUE ending for Shroudscrubs, the lot of ya
I wish you could get villain Visi without being a shitter to her. I love the idea of Hero Robert x Villain Visi but really you have to make Robert a pretty shitty partner for her to get the villain ending, making it a bit less impactful even if you romanced her.Should have also been one final kiss before she fucked off. Hell make it an invisible one. Like he catches the astral pulse, doubles back to see her gone, then gets his face grabbed and kissed and let go without ever even seeing her. Only if you romanced her of course.
>>725952910even if blonde blazer/mandy got a sex scene her ntr vibes in the first episode killed her popularityat least you know invisigal/courtney is a turboskank with stds
who could it be...
>>725953494Mecha man’s the hero, Robert, not so much.
>>725953651It's pikachu
>>725949403https://youtu.be/Vj8XohxYkGc?si=9eZsP41r1uWNbcl3
>>725943074bruh, after playing the first half with the game portion of the game getting bamboozled by story hooks made it annoying as fuckyou get your team working perfectly together and are forced to drop one of them for drama, because they REALLY couldn't write it any other way, they do it TWICE, ruining what little gameplay is therelike i actually just dropped the game, i was disappointed in how short it was but now i'm just disappointed it's bad and non-sensical, why are we supposedly "helping villians" if we're just gonna drop them anyways? How does that make them not be villians? it's a fucking joke
>>725953007>you have BB not thinking of giving Chase the amulet until the end.That's literally small potatoes. She does it eventually and why she doesn't do it sooner? For dramatic effect - you get to see both BB in action and have the dramatic entry of Chase when the situation is dire.
>>725943074I have to try this game all because of \v\.If is a bad game, i think i will never trust anything posted here again.
>>725953789The childless cat lady in charge decided her life is a little boring
>>725953519This image is so, so much better than the Visi ones because it actually works physically and spiritually.
I JOBBED AT TELLTALE GAME!I'VE GOT THE WORST ENDINGFUCKI NEED TO REPLAY AND I DON'T WANT TO
>>725953623What NTR vibes?Can people not read the room?
>Golem and Prism are the only heroes that didn't get comics
>>725953910Nah the one with visi between robert's thighs is the best one.
Would it be a smart move to keep interest in Dispatch going by doing comics and shit or do they risk devaluating the world?
>>725953952Wrong. Visi doesn't even have thick thighs. You wish she was someone that she isn't
>>725953789>>725953885>People are genuinely seething over the best and most interesting decision in the game with the best consequencesI hate you faggots so much>>725953831All of the retarded writing in Episode 8 is for dramatic effect, bro. That's no excuse.
>>725945627>Gil was the first CYOA protagonist
>>725954021Reread it bitch.
>>725953671having a contrast between boy scout public and antihero private is based as fuck
Where do you read comics?
>>725953623oh yeah that too, even though they lampshaded it and it's mostly a joke that's a death sentence for a romance option. Especially these days with people applying 3dpd realism to everything.Meltdowns would've been nuclear if Shroud or another red ring faggot talked about plowing Visi even if it was a lie
>>725954084In the extras, if you have the deluxe edition. Or on youtube, they're all there.
>>725954105People had meltdowns over Toxic calling Visi "babe" in episode 1.
>>725953789>why are we supposedly "helping villians" if we're just gonna drop them anyways?SDN is a company and reabilitation isn't about giving infinite seconds chances and doing so is negligence, something Invisifags seem to not understand
>>725954079>>725953671>Hero Robert ending has him in the mecha man costume>Antihero Robert has him in his civvy suitImplying that unsuited Robert is the more dangerous and unhinged version of him is so fucking kino.
>>725954026you're bait is non-sensical too
another thread up
>>725954202>crack down right after everyone gets a good day of work done, with comradery, after a pep-talk and having the best day of those villain's fucking entire LIFETIME spent on the team, we decided to fire one of them>so they could go back to being villains, which is what they were trying to prevent>they don't immediately go back to jail, they're just allowed to walk off and become villain's againyeah, non-sensical, like i said, it's really fucking stupid
>>725946928ever played The Police?Yeah, sort of like that.
>>725954207
>>725947497it's okay, it's more theater acting on the DMs railroad than actually playing the game. a decade later, some of its members struggle to remember how to play it
>>725954593yeah, it's extremely painful and cringe to watch, there's a couple of good moments but it's held back by the actors refusing to understand how the game works, they're paid to be there and "connect" with the tabletop crowd but i think most people who do tabletop aren't watching them
>>725949403>put you bias to one side for a minute and answer me why exactly invisigirl is more popular than blonde blazer?sex scene + romance with more content
>>725951882Wait a second, you're into something here
>>725954423>crack down right after everyone gets a good day of work doneA good day for their standards, which are bottom of the barrel. Robert literally says they need to massively raise the bar to keep the program alive>with comradery, after a pep-talkThey were literally sabotaging each other. The pep talk is basically Robert giving a parent to child scolding to get them to stop fucking around>so they could go back to being villains, which is what they were trying to preventNo, the point is reabilitating villains into becoming proper heroes, which the Phoenix program has been failing to do for however long the Z-team has been around. The only mistake here is that the villain that got cut didn't get sent back to prison, because I believe the whole point is that there were in prison before and were accepted into the program. But it's entirely possible that they just escaped
>>725953024You control the buttons you press.
>>725952174It's great to write off as Visi as a desperate obsessed characterNot to define it as a compelling one. That's why it's terrible
>>725954202Rehabilitation isn't about letting people go back to crime unsupervised either.>cut a villain from rehab unceremoniously and just let him walk out>WTF why did he go back to robbery and murder, we thought he'd just get a job at Costco???
>>725953238are you ok
>>725952225If by competence is screwing Robert once again and denying his chance out of revenge or not, then yes, she's actually competent
>>725954809that's a bunch of cope to say SDN is doing a terrible job and that Blonde Blazer is incapable of managing said team>not a single person stayed more than a week, so therefore when the only person who does make progress, we'll tell them to immediately ruin it all by cutting one of the team members
>>725954692So basically YouTube Big Bang Theory
>>725955069To be as fair as possible, the Z-Team are a bunch of shithead losers who have no motivation. Robert might just be the best guy for the job and one of the only people willing to put up with their bullshit, but you're right in that doesn't excuse SDN and BB's failure with them.
>>725951882and knife-wielders at that
>no sex scenes>only nude scenes are of toxic dick, blazer' nipple, and invigal tits
>>725954901Honestly, the fact that the person cut immediately goes back into villany just goes to show the phoenix program has been utter dogshit up to that point, you'd think that being in the program for so long would've done literally anything to change them but I guess not. Regardless, like I said, they should've gone straight back to jail, I don't know if the game just forgot the whole point was that they were out of jail for the Phoenix Program, or if the agreement is that they were permanently out of jail if they were accepted into the program, which would be plain retarded if so>>725955069Nigga that's the point. SDN has been doing a terrible job. I have no idea how the Phoenix Program has even survived the fact that the villains in the Z-team were allowed to just do whatever the fuck they wanted with zero consequences for so long. Cutting them actually makes sense, what makes no sense is letting walk free>"This program isn't fucking around, we have been giving tons of chances, if you really want to change, you have to lock the fuck in." It's literally all what Robert's pep talk is about.
>>725953910It doesnt because Invisigal is actually clingy like that
>>725955329>tons of chances with people who couldn't get them to work togetheryeah, we know, it's what i'm complaining about, they get tons of chances until the one person who can actually fix them comes along, and then suddenly we have to drop team members every weekSDN was doing fine letting them fuck around doing literally nothign UNTIL ROBERT SHOWED UP
>>725949790>Given the things that tend to motivate her that might be...problematic>Robert has to cut deals and give her a quarter-cup of his blood if she does well in a shift>she uses it to go fuck around SDN and mess with Visi's head
>>725955028post tits with time stamp, whore. get raped and tortured, you slut
>>725953789We know that the program was running even before Mecha Man exploded, since Visi joins a week later.The program hasn't been working and pressure is all around it to make it work. One week isn't enough, even if it was their best shift so far. >But why did the villains just returned into their normal livesThey have been doing missions already even prior to you coming there, I can only assume their sentence was already pardoned for their valor. Obviously it didn't meant that they were rehabilitated And just like any criminal, going back to a civil life doesn't usually work so they go back to crime.It sort of make sense, but the story and the world building doesn't really tell you about it that directly.
>>725955639>VisiGODS mindbroke this fag this badlyGrim
>>725955440Part of reabilitation is accountability. Showing them the program won't keep coddling them was a good message to send. It'd be shit if this was a government program and not a company, SDN is allocating resources into the Phoenix Program. I still think the dumbest part was letting them roam free. Also it's not every week, they do it once and the z-team actually starts improving massively. Still, I think it's an actual good choice in the game, because it generates a nice little consequence that bites back Blazer and Robert in the ass later on, so I feel like they ultimately regret the decision
>>725956007>we only decided to do this after the one worker manages to stay with them for more than 3 days
>>725956080Yes, nigga. Because the worker, Robert, literally says: >"No, I don't see this first shift as a win, because THE BAR NEEDS TO GO UP" In the second episode Blazer and Chase literally tell and reassure Robert he did really good and that was probably the best the Z-team could ever hope to achieve, Robert is the one that says they need to improve further.
