>random indie company makes a gem that beats all the AAA competitionIt's so fucking kino what the fuck? They can't keep getting away with this
>random indie companyon the off chance this isn't bait and you just don't know this is ex-telltale people, not a "random indie company" by any stretch
>>726006290Didn't even play it but watched my streamer and it was fucking kino so maybe eat a dick?
>>726006365>playYou cant play it
>>726006290I know they're made up of ex-Telltale developers. Doesn't change the fact that I have literally never heard of Adhoc Studios before until playing this game. So yes, it is a random company. They emerged suddenly and produced kino.
>if we include popular youtubers as VA's, everyone will throw money at us like cattlebased!
>>726006081i feel like this game is astroturfed like hell and has the writing quality of any shitty netflix show just in VN form
>>726006081better than reddition 33
>>726006823In these cursed times managing to reach the bare minimum of quality makes a game stand out for it's brilliance.
>>726006720>it actually worked
>>726006823>astroturfed like hellWe're talking about dispatch, not ACK raiders
>>726006823>the writing quality of any shitty netflix show just in VN formnetflix show perfectly encapsulates the writing quality of this game. even down to characters talking about sex like 15 year olds
>studio clearly just wants to make a movie or tv show>finding a network to air it is impossible>they don't post it on jewtube because ???>dude let's make a visual novel lmaojewtube worked for helluva boss and digital circus
>OP purposely didn't use Dispatch in the subject so I'd be forced to see this capeshit e-celeb garbage on page 1
>>726009459And who makes more money?
>>726006720I pirated it but I'll buy it eventually to help the devs out
>>726006290They are either baiting. A stream fan (poor). Or unable to know what makes something 'Cinema' (Kino child new to 4chan)
>>726006081does this game have explicit sex scenes? With nipples and pussy slits showing?
>>726006081What's the gameplay like?
>>726006081I heard this took 8 years to make
>>726011676It's flash game tier.
>>726006290It's bait. The 7 year old 30 people company that has made 1 game so far is a AAA company because it has ex-telltale and ubisoft people working for it.
>>726009369I used to think shows that were obviously written by virgin teenagers who have never been in a fight was a bad thing until I realized that they are not writing the show from their own perspective (possibly), but for an audience that is mostly neither having sex, nor have ever been in a fight.
>>726006081its going to get more and more commonthe dumbasses in the top AAA c-suites have no fucking clue what theyre doingtheyre betting the farm on proven templates instead of innovatingAAA has no spark of creativity or authenticity left in them theyre just magnets for greedy suits
looks like a game for women.won't play it
I can't have sex with a man so who gives a fuckIts 2025. How the fuck do you make a VN with romance aspects and NOT have a gay option
>>726006650It feels higher budget than every prior telltale game, it's status as indie is dubious
>>726006823I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was a cancelled netflix show, it looks too nice and has animation far above the average vn or telltale game. The cutscenes themself also feel like they were made for a passive medium
>>726017810haha eat shit Farquaad
>>726006081Its kino but its just telltale formula perfected
>>726011676gameplay?
>>726006081Nice presentation but too linear.
>>726020230It was originally pitched as a movie
>>726006081Decent riff on the Telltale formula where you could actually make some meaningful choices But the moment I saw “in association with critical role” I knew half the humor would be lame sex jokes and I was right Also it’s kind of a stealth dating sim in the end, yes I know you can reject both women but the game is all but throwing them at you, Blazer is practically trying to fuck you at that bar when you first meet and Episode 4 starts with a hardcore sex dream by Invisigal before you’ve even had a real “moment” with her (surprised Laura Bailey went for that desu)Also the hacking mini game sucks ass6/10 overall, sequel needs to fix hacking, tone down the romance, and hire writers who aren’t mentally 12 year olds
>>726006081>Random indie companyThey had a lot of help from Critical Role which isn’t a small organization and they had a lot of ex TellTale people
>>726011676there's a toddler tier hacking mini game and multiple choice dialogues, that's literally it, you don't even get to explore rooms
>>726006081Garbage muttslop. Not even a game. Buy an ad

You can tell who the retarded shitposters are because they're trying to pretend like the dispatch minigame doesn't exist and there's no gameplay.
>>726006081Why haven't I seen one person mention that there is an exposed penis in the first 15 minutes of this game? I thought it was pretty trashy and tasteless
>>726006823>VNIT'S A MOVIE GAME FFS. You barely read in the game.
>>726006081It's hard carried by two things:- it is, at its core, a feelgood love and friendship simulator with a colorful cast of misfits who learn to be a team. These are always pleasant and make players feel attached to the game. Sacrificing VA quality by collabing with useless e-celebs was a brilliant marketing move together with this, as all the twitchfags are there looking for a parasocial relationship after all.- the animation is fucking stellar and brings life and personality to everything. It's very well done and very detailed with clearly a shitton of effort that's went into it. The random Thai no-name studio they had subcontracted were easily the most competent people to have worked on this.Other than that, the actual writing is garbage. The plot makes zero sense and none of it should be consciously analyzed at any point, things just happen for the sake of cheap drama. The humor has its moments but 80% of it is juvenile "haha penis" that gets old very quickly if you're over the age of 15. As per usual Telltale, your choices don't matter besides the standard "who to leave for dead" (pardon me, cut). The dispatch mini-game is cute but it's nothing particularly deep and more of a vehicle for banter, on top of being almost completely inconsequential. So it's essentially a movie and you lose nothing by just going on Youtube.I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy my time with it overall, but it's largely because of the themes and presentation, not the game being particularly great.
>>726006650You're a newfag.
>>726023112>These are always pleasant>"always"Meaning "safe and overdone"
>>726023221Well, yeah. But there's a reason they're safe and overdone after all. It just works.
>>726023062Wait until you see the extremely out of nowhere tits and tucking in the first minute of episode 4
>>726006081It's not indie, it's telltale cancer coming back from the grave to be a tumor once more. Hope they will suffer a slow, embarassing death for a second time.
>>726023328JesusMaybe we do need more censorship in vidya if this is what we're gettingThis is just barely disguised softcore porn
>>726023347Telltale died from branching out into a million dogshit games instead of hyperfocusing on good projects.
>>726023436I mean there’s only one real scene of fucking and it turns out to be a wet dream, not even by your character It’s just very weird and out of place
>>726011626tits only
>>726017810eat shit faggot
>>726011676CYOA, this is the police lite dispatch sections, hacking mini game and qte’s
>>726023490Yeah, exactly. They died because they thought The Walking Dead was some goldmine of a concept, when it became successful ONLY because the show was god-awful and a 6/10 story seemed like gold in comparison. Then they started shitting out dozens of random adaptations for various IP's but people already knew that "your choices matter" is complete bullshit and you miss nothing by watching the "games" on Youtube, so Telltale died slowly without ever understanding why their studio is burning down.Clearly they still haven't learned.
>>726006823Quick, post the best written VN you've played!
>>726023706Nta but Burrows
>>726023706Are Ace Attorney games considered VN?
>>726006081So why is bad to replace VAs with AI but it's good to replace VAs with untrained millionaire streamers? I never understood that. It's not even just moist, whenever cohh or someone else voices a character in another game everyone claps.
>>726023662So no gameplay lol
>>726023706Saya no Uta
>>726024171pedo
>>726023940Yes, since 90% of the gameplay is reading.
>>726023706428 Shibuya
>>726024325I was 16 when I played it
>>726006081>reddit's first VN slop>kinojust go jerk to porn coomer
>>726011676This Is The Police with 30 minute cutscenes between each stage
>>726006940At least that has a game attached.
>>726011676Will you date the blonde or the tomboy?
Is this how people were with Persona 4?
>>726023706I just like WA2
>>726024785>were
>>726023490Telltale died because their only good game was Walkind Dead season 1. ALl the other walking dead games sucked, minecraft sucked, game of thrones sucked, wolf amogus sucked after episode 1, borderlands sucked after episode 2, batman sucked
>>726006081it's decent. like 8/10. the characterization is all over the place. the pacing is way too fast. the dispatch segments take too long. having qte dialog is a pita.
The fuck are you talking about? The story doesn't even stick the landing, episode 6 to 8 were crap.
>>726024325>super kawaii moe loliThis was either written by someone who never played the game or some jealous roastie, as she's really none of those things.
Invisibitch has to be one of the worst writer's pet character i've seen in a really long time.
>>726016843It's why true indies have never been more popular and it keeps growing.
