Everything must come to an end editionPrevious: >>545442187A general to discuss Dispatch by AdHoc Studios.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2592160/Dispatch/
Now that it's all over>Who was your favorite character?>Did you kick Sonar or Coupe?>Did you add Waterboy or Phenomaman?>Did you romance Blonde Blazer, Invisigal, or nobody?>Did you let the person you kicked back onto the team?
>>546447884>Robert>Coupe>Phenomaman>Invisigal>N/A. I havent played 7-8 episodes yet. I'm about to
>>546447884>Who was your favorite character?Robert>Did you kick Sonar or Coupe?Sonar>Did you add Waterboy or Phenomaman?Phenomaman>Did you romance Blonde Blazer, Invisigal, or nobody?I had planned to go for Blonde Blazer, but when I had to choose I ended up going to the movies with Invisigal.>Did you let the person you kicked back onto the team?I failed to stop them, so I didn't get the choice.
So, does SDN has a night shift or something? Do they not fight villains at night?
>>546449640Heroes and villains signed a treaty. Villains wouldn't attack at night, but SDN had to let villains' bars be safezones they can't attack.
I love this gal, thats all
I just realized that not every episode is a single day, but in fact game last at least several weeks. How long do you think it takes?
>>546447884>favRobert. Runner up Blonde Blazer.>cutCoupe. I knew she'd come back at the end to fight. Both coupe and sonar are cute dorks so this was the hardest choice in the game>waterboy or pman?Phenomaman I really thought he needed it and his fast recharge skill is phenomamal>romanceBlazer/Mandy locked in instantly>let coupe back inOf course
>>546447884>>Who was your favorite character?Robert>>Did you kick Sonar or Coupe?Coupe>>Did you add Waterboy or Phenomaman?Phenomaman>>Did you romance Blonde Blazer, Invisigal, or nobody?Invisigal, no-brainer>>Did you let the person you kicked back onto the team?Yes
Is Invisigal latino?
>>546451809>LAYes
This entire game would fit perfectly into the setting of Venture Bros.
>>546447594guys I dove too deep into the sauce.at first I liked malevola because she was visually unique with her being a half demon and the sword plus she's easy on the eyes. after weeks of posting and discussing her it became genuine honest to god waifuism, and not like the horny posting sort of way. I dont want to read or see her in porn scenarios/art or cucking courtney, I want to read what being in a relationship with her is like, I want to see her smile in art/sloppa, and most of all I just want the best for her. I fucking love malevola! what do I do?>>546447884>favorite charactergolem.
>>546452842She reminds me of Desdemona
>>546447884>>Who was your favorite character?Phenomaman or Blazer>>Did you kick Sonar or Coupe?I cut Sonar. Had upgrades and bonus stats on both though, so it stung. >>Did you add Waterboy or Phenomaman?Phenomaman >>Did you romance Blonde Blazer, Invisigal, or nobody?BB 100%. I still think Invisigal is incredible though but I'm a one gal kind of guy and it just wasn't Invisigal, surprisingly. I fucking love BB. >>Did you let the person you kicked back onto the team?Yeah. I let Sonar back in. What he did was royally fucked up. Super, super fucked up. But I am running the literal villain-rehab in the end. And it's not like we wouldn't be able to cut him off a second time if he truly refuses to reform. But I actually believe in him. I feel like he got super humbled by the experience, and it seems like he has got no friends in the world but us. I feel like forgiving Coop might have been more difficult though. I could see myself still doing it, but it would have been more difficult.
>>546452842she's got the big sis energy I'd fold like laundry instantly
anyone who likes invisigal is either trolling, a thirsty virgin thinking only with his dick, or straight up retardedshe violates robert & the rest of the teams trust like four fucking times, never shows any remorse for it, always just goes with whatever pops into her head no matter how clearly it would fuck someone else over, rejects orders, and acts like a total fucking bitch to everyone in order to cover up an intense inferiority complexshe says at one point that people look at her like shes incapable of good, and you know what? they're right. some people just arent wired right, and they arent 'good people'. invisigal is not a 'good person'; even if you indulge her and make excuses for her (which you shouldnt for a bajillion very good reasons but chief among them being that its basically treating her with kid gloves and like shes a child who cant take responsibility for her own actions), shes STILL not a good person because her taking of a bullet for robert is done from corrupt motivations. she doesnt have a desire to 'do good'. she has a desire to validate herself through the opinions of others blue blazer analysis to follow
>>546454427blue blazer is a simpler but no less troubling case; she appears to be a genuine 'good' person and you get the strong impression that there's not a drop of bad blood in her, but the reality is that shes just using robert as a rebound from the weirdo that phenomaman is. all throughout the game phenomaman is displayed as being very powerful, but a weirdo and extremely dependent and clingy in a way that is like kryptonite to women. he may be physically strong and fast and visually pleasing to look at, but he isnt masculine in temperament. he's not 'in control' either of himself or his surroundings, and depends way too much on an anchor to make him emotionally stable. that kind of shit repels women like nothing else, because they typically want to have an anchor. superficially, one might think robert is an inverse of phenomaman, to explain blazer's attraction; someone with no powers but with great control of himself and his surroundings, who conquered enemies who were in every way 'greater' than him as mecha man. and while this might be technically true, the fact is that blue blazer only looks him as a foil to phenomaman; she's not actually attracted to HIM, she's just seeing facets that phenomaman lacks, and USING him as an emotional rebound crutch. its both intellectually and emotionally dishonest, and i guarantee that she would lose interest in robert after a few weeks at most when the gap in their power levels is too large to ignore. women can almost never be with men who are weaker than them, and this is universally true across the entire human species. though i will admit that with her loaning of the amulet to track star, and her returning to a 'normal' human woman, she might be content for the short term, but the moment she gets that back, she'll start thinking if theres someone better out thereultimately, the true chad choice is to recognize both as being extremely unsuitable, and romance neither.
Nobody here is going to read all that. This thread is 90% fags who don't want to fuck Visi or BB.
>>546455296Visi and Blazer enjoyers shouldn't bother either. I want my 30 seconds back
>>546447884>I'm not picking Robert because picking the MC is cheating. It's probably Chase, with Phenomaman as a close second.>Coupe>Phenomaman, I'm actually really curious how things pan out the other direction because pulling him in for the crisis doesn't seem like it would feel like as big of a payoff unless he is just really a huge sack of pathetic in that branch>Invisigal>Yea, I never wanted to cut anyone and I wish there could have at least been an option to tell Blazer to fuck off, it was honestly a shitty fucking thing to do 2 days into the job (for Robert), give me some time to actually turn this into a teamOn that last point, I suspect that they originally planned for a slightly more organic re-integration of the cut Z-team member, at least based on the dispatch missions in episode 3 and 4 which hinted for Coupe that she genuinely wasn't just falling back into old habits but struggling to survive now that she wasn't under SDN's umbrella. Some options to reach out, even if they ultimately didn't pan out and the cut member still ends up being recruited by Shroud, would have made the end of season redemption feel more earned and less of a "well back to status quo" way to end it.
>>546450405why did robert dodge the butt attack
>>546455296>>546455549sounds like the bleating of fags mad that im right lolololl
rob was looking good af here
>>546457546>>I'm not picking Robert because picking the MC is cheating. It's probably Chase, with Phenomaman as a close second.I don't really think it's cheating, especially in videogameland where so many protagonists are blank-slate player inserts as interesting as a slice of white sandwich bread. Especially middle age brown hair white guy protagonists. Robert really had a lot to go against to become a good character.
So what choices do I have to make to turn visi a hero in a bb love interest playthrough? In mine she turned evil, but the only time I fucked her over was not going to the movies, cutting her, and pushing away the kiss.
>>546449761For real?
I don't understand the people who saved shroud>Ep1 its revealed he killed your dad>Threatens the dog>Give him what he wants and he decides to kill you anyway>Literally not 1 single thing redeeming about himZ team members at least had a heart and some kind of moral compass, this guy had literally nothing.
>>546447884>Who was your favorite character?Robert, Sonar, Blazer>Did you kick Sonar or Coupe?Coupe>Did you add Waterboy or Phenomaman?Phenomaman>Did you romance Blonde Blazer, Invisigal, or nobody?Blazer, of course>Did you let the person you kicked back onto the team?Sure, that's what the Phoenix Program does.
>>546461553At this point, nobody knows. And honestly, if you go with Blazer, the ending where she becomes a villain flows better, because at least Invisigal won't insert herself into your heart-to-heart with Mandy.
>>546463070It flows better, but Visi not being the in the group photo feels wrong :(
>>546447884>Who was your favorite character?Robert, Flambae>Did you kick Sonar or Coupe?Coupe>Did you add Waterboy or Phenomaman?Waterboy>Did you romance Blonde Blazer, Invisigal, or nobody?Nobody>Did you let the person you kicked back onto the team?Yes
>Don't treat Invisigal well>She turns into a hero>Treat Invisigal well>She turns into a villainI know that the game has problems based on what I know but did the devs acknowledged that problem? Did someone made a spreadshit on what's needed to make her a hero?
>>546447884phenomaman was funny and interesting, good use of the superman parodycoupe but it was close, I didnt care much for either at that point.phenomaman obviouslyBB, glad I didnt try for nobody because there doesn't seem to be any unique scene for that routenah, we're supposed to redeem villains and stuff but she chimped out for losing a job and killed innocent people while helping a supervillain destroy the city. go to jail and hope SDN does another round of the program.>>546452842you go hold her hand and make her smile, schizo. I believe in you.>golemkek
>>546463672Nah, it's funny seeing streamers simp for Invisigal all the game and then being salty that she inevitably betrays them.Motherfucker, you are simping to a shady supervillain with BPD, how do you think it'll go?
Fuck it. Should I untie Invisigal?
>>546467985yeah
Best teammates
>>546468071Is it crucial?
>>546464118I still find it weird that some managed to make her a hero even after all the simping. Makes me wonder what triggers it.
>>546469793I think so? Showing that you do trust her, I guess? I mean what I did in terms of major decisions for visi was this. I went out on a date, told her to just be friends, not cut her from the team, told her I didn't know what to feel about her planting the bomb, set her free. And she still decided to help save the day and not turn evil. Not too sure what else would sway her to villainy.
>adhoc opens a merch store>doesn't sell a blue SDN button upWhat were they thinking?
>>546470101They gave them all away to streamers.
fuckin ROBBERY
>>546470868You'll get them in season two maybe?
I think people who pick either BB or Invis have no taste. One is a step on your balls because she won’t listen to what she’s told and the other is just literally trying to shake things up in her too goody too shoes life. Making is a dating sim kinda threw me off tho desu. The whole literal sex scenes are a bit wtf in my cape shit …Phenomaman however was great. Either him or Sonar as favorite.
Well, I didn't untie her and she became a villain. Fuck
>>546476617>Phenomaman however was great.Too bad we can't get with Dumpy instead.
>>546447884>Who was your favorite character?Robert>Did you kick Sonar or Coupe?Coupe, I wasn't very smart with her skill distribution at the beginning, Sonar was more useful to me at that moment.>Did you add Waterboy or Phenomaman?Waterboy. Felt a little bad for him.>Did you romance Blonde Blazer, Invisigal, or nobody?Nobody. Blazer has no dimension. Invisigal acts like a retarded teenager, and there's only so many chances you can give one retard.>Did you let the person you kicked back onto the team?Yeah. I actually liked Coupe. If I didn't fuck up the stats at the start, purely character-wise, I would've chosen to get rid of Sonar instead.
>>546476649Just replayed and, yeah, that "untie" moment is that decided if Invisigal goes villain or hero. What a shitshow. I just couldn't bring myself to trust her RP-wise. I wonder if she'll be crying herself to sleep for the rest of her life.So, anyway, what was Shroud's whole thing? Why did he do all this?
>>546480070>>>/co/151254275
if invisibitch gave robert the pulse after she did the old switcheroo he'd have never ended up in a position to be captured by shroud
>>546486660Yes. But she is an idiot in love.
>>546447884>Who was your favorite character?Golem>Did you kick Sonar or Coupe?Coupe>Did you add Waterboy or Phenomaman?Waterboy>Did you romance Blonde Blazer, Invisigal, or nobody?Invisigal>Did you let the person you kicked back onto the team?Yes
>>546469968The flags behind redeeming Invisigal are such a clusterfuck it might as well be RNG at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if some of it was bugged.I am thankful I picked Blazer so that I don't have to bother with this nonsense.
>>546486660Yes, in fact Robert points that out to her. But Invisigal is YOLO incarnate, so she doesn't even register she's an idiot.
"I can be anywhere" (c)
>>546447884>Golem>Sonar>Waterboy>Invisigal>yes
>>546454795I don't feel like BB had any meaningful relationship with Phenomaman. Has she ever loved him in romantic way? They basically just hanged out together and occasionally "made love" which is just hugging. PMan may be human in appearance but he is clearly way too different from a normal person. And how I see it is that BB just decided to stop all this girlfriend/boyfriend pretense which had no real future.
>>546496782Yeah. Keep in my that in the end, Mandy is just a regular, dorky human girl and he is a literal alien. They only hang out with one another, because it looks good on posters.That's why she hit it off with Robert so well, because they are both birds of a feather. They have very similar personalities, experiences and insecurities. And I guess that was one of the reasons she went fuck this shit and abandoned her pretend relationship with PM.
Robert seems to be a lot of peoples' favorite characters, honestly me included. But what about him is so likeable? He felt a bit flat to me at first but he really grew on me and I'm still trying to figure out why.
>>546500074>But what about him is so likeable?He's attractive, competent, broken, a leader, can fuck shit up when he gets mad
>>546500074He's an everyman self-insert that doesn't fall into the usual traps of that trope. He's not a complete blank-slate piece of wonderbread devoid of any personality and he's not a gary stu piece of wish fulfillment that always succeeds because the story demands it.
>>546500074He is literally me.
>>546500074>He felt a bit flat to me at first but he really grew on meMe too. I think Aaron Paul's stellar work in giving life to the character is a huge contributor. He's also a realistic hero, an actual person with depth who still gets shit done and tries to do the right thing even when everything in his life is falling apart.
restarting this shit from the beginning becuase, turns out, if you fail helping Visi with your hacking back in Episode 3, she will become a villain becuase I failed as a mentorI really wish we could skip the cutscenes sometimes
>>546513246Yeah, western movie games need to catch up to japanese vns and let us skip shit on replays.
>>546513362for the next season, I really need shit like>skip scenes on second runs>jump directly to specific story segments>maybe some sort of "NG+" with harder calls
>>546513246It's weird how you can't skip the cutscenes where no decisions happen, or even fast forward them if it's an engine thing. I really liked the dispatch minigame and I'd like to give it another go but the cutscenes are a bit of a drag.
>>546515215Yeah, I get how they want this to feel like a proper "tv show" and all, but cutscenes are kinda long and each episode takes around like 40 mins for me, so I really need that >SKIP
>>546513246>you need to pass a hacking minigame or I’ll go villain
>>546515974and those minigames are not even that cool and/or well made ffs!
>>546513246>Have to restart the whole game just to have visi not go schizo in a BB love interest route
https://youtu.be/hcHfo3fukuM
>>546515974>>546516365were other telltales games like this?
>>546516538Telltale games didn't have mini-games really. People had actually pitched mini-games and were shot down by the bosses who wanted them to stick to the formula.
>>546516671oh no I was talking more about the unskippable cutscenes part that makes replayability a pain in the assbut I didn't know that
>>546516365im a visifag but lmao
>>546516924You couldn't skip things in Telltale games, but those games also had no replayability. People have been complaining about Dispatch's ending being railroaded, but there were far more choices that actually impacted the game than 99% of Telltale games. If Dispatch had been a Telltale game, after cutting a character in episode 3 the character you didn't fire would just quit anyway in episode 4.
>>546516538No minigames but they did have some choices that were weighted extremely heavily and could fuck over whole characters for you. Most famous one is Kenny in TWD where if you don't smash a dead guys face in with a rock he acts like a cunt for the most of the game
>>546513246>if you fail helping Visi with your hacking back in Episode 3, she will become a villain
All the worst Capeshit tendencies in one game was a great way to remind myself why the Telltale hacks lost their jobs the first time.
>>546447884>Favorite characterRobert easily>CutCoupe sonar was my only smart boy and the comedy relief>Add inPM>RomanceInvisigal>Let back inYep ofc, didnt even want to cut her.>>546454427Redemption stories are fun. And yes, the ending is her showing remorse.>>546513246How do you even fail those hacking sections??
>>546525253>How do you even fail those hacking sections??
>>546525253>How do you even fail those hacking sections??I’m fucking stupid
Damn, we almost didn't get this game.>>>/v/725862502
>>546533096Honestly, I'm not surprised. There was complete radio silence after the trailer dropped at TGA. At first I thought it was silently canceled. Then when the demo released in June. I was pleasantly surprised how much positive press it got and how people were eager to play a Telltale-style narrative game again. Then once again silence until October.
>1 million sales>200k+ concurrent players>Ahoc is going to do a critical role fantasy game next instead of season 2mother fuckers
>>546535797I hope they can get in good terms with Critical Role to do their game after S2 so they can take advantage of the current hype of Dispatch.
>>546535797Critical Role saved Dispatch, so I'll let them have their game. If they try to pump out more than 1 before Dispatch season 2 then I'll be annoyed.
i tried to fix all the writing around shroud and invisibitch but it is so broken that it's better off in the trash even with the easy out of him predicting how everything would play out, namely the invisibitch confession
>>546544891Yeah the writing got really sloppy in the last episode. If I hadn't enjoyed the actual dispatching gameplay in the last episode as I did I would probably be more down on the episode.
>>546544891Yeah, I'm just going to ignore that 'she was always working for us' part.I'm not even a Visifag, but it's quite clear how that part makes no sense and/or detracts from everyone involved for no good reason. Cutting that snippet entirely and changing Shroud's line in the Villain Visi ending seems like the easiest fix for it.The 'keep her restrained' scene is also completely out of character and flows terribly into the following scenes. It's as if they just plopped their first draft right into the final game.If we do somehow get a 'director's cut', those two scenes getting fixed would be number two and three on my wishlist, right below at least one BB sex scene getting added.
crazy how invisibitch wouldn't need lung tech if she wasn't smoking and making her asthma worse
>>546551603She can't help but make bad choices for herself.
>>546551793crazy how those bad choices for herself keep fucking over everyone else
>>546552515Quite true. But they really want us to empathize for her.
>>546447594I hope we'll see them again.
>>546555017It's a successful new IP that AdHoc owns 100% of. We will definitely see them again.
>>546555330True but I can't help but shake the feeling they fall into the same pitfalls Telltale did. We all know well enough these choice based games really do their best to avoid accounting for permutations. So it's unlikely the next season will revolve around Z-team or so I think.
>>546555959Telltale's pitfall was pissing away all the money it made from The Walking Dead on more big IPs and expanding their studio until it was unsustainable. If they don't do those two things and instead put the money they earn into expanding the scope of future games they will be fine.
>>546557079>If they don't do those two things and instead put the money they earn into expanding the scope of future games they will be fine.Let's hope they take this course on future titles. Cause right now their main priority is that Critical Role game.
Didn't even realize Robert was voiced by Aaron Paul until episode 4.Without the screaming, crying, and anguish, his voice was smooth as fucking butter.
>>546564057i didn't know until he said asshole
>>546501962HR violation, the game
>>546564057It was really obvious in episode 1 when he flew out of the refinery and said "FUCK YES". It was just Jesse Pinkman.
>>546447884Might be InvisigalCoupePhenomamanBBYes
>>546513246no way the hacking minigame is the flag, might count for a hidden point system tho
Couldn't find a pic but one of the Saints Row 3 female presents is an asian chick with basically the same hair as Invisigal and you can slap Laura Bailey's voice on her too.
>>546573361*presets
why are we talking about season 2 when these are the same people that made the wolf among us? they couldn't pull off another season despite 2 separate attempts years apart
>>546573746People's hopes and dreams tend to outshine reality.
Why is this thread so gay, same shit happened with KCD2 in the /vg/ threads
>>546573746Nu-Telltale is to blame for there being no The Wolf Among Us season 2 these days. Dispatch is what AdHoc were working on while waiting for nu-Telltale to give them the greenlight to work of TWAU2.
>>546574775got a problem, bitch boy?
>>546574775If you want to talk endlessly about Blonde Blazer and Invisigal, be our guest. Otherwise stick to /v/. I'm sure they are still looking back fondly.
>>546574926not really, i'm just wondering why there's such a big discrepancy between this thread and /v/ threads
>>546575113nta but like I said. The /v/ threads are more active in the waifu war between Blazer and Visi. Here it might be as slow as molasses but there are those that are interested in other characters.
Just so people don't say generals don't produce OC these days.

I saw some discourse around invisigal kissing Robert being sexual assault and it reminds me how much the perception of media differs in the modern day.People kissing without getting explicit permission is in virtually every movie with Romance ever made. Its in Titanic for fucks sake. Like yeah she shouldnt have done it and it was bad but she's kind of a bad person so thats in character? Half the cast has genuinely tried to murder Robert. If a game with tits and dicks cant show nonconsensual kissing then theres something really wrong with people
>>546589924The puritan culture in America used to be really excessive, and the vestiges remain. Whiny ugly women and zero test men are the only ones complaining. Why bring up this and not all the other times every other character in the game was socially incorrect? Fucking sick of these 'people'.
>>546589924>If a game with tits and dicks cant show nonconsensual kissing then theres something really wrong with peopleI haven't looked too much around the discourse. Though I doubt everyone is complaining that it shouldn't be depicted. The frustration I mostly saw surrounding it was that they were either with Blazer and wanted to stay faithful or weren't interested in either and Visi still made a move. Which was the straw that broke the camel's back. Still you have a point. In romantic films, television, stage plays, books, etc. The "trope" of people kissing one another without explicit permission is everywhere.
>>546590513It's everywhere even in real fucking life, like. Yeah not between complete strangers but if two people were having as much romantic tension as visi and rob at that point in Ep 7 irl, neither of them would go to the police to report an incident of SA. It's so fucking bullshit. Explicit consent and implicit consent CAN and DOES exist every day on this blue trap bubble.
>>546590898>Yeah not between complete strangers but if two people were having as much romantic tension as visi and rob at that point in Ep 7 irl, neither of them would go to the police to report an incident of SATrue but as I said those complaining weren't into Visi anyhow. If someone were in said situation and was kissed by a subordinate or co-worker they had no mutual feelings for. They would be pretty upset about it and likely report it to HR or some other higher authority.>Explicit consent and implicit consent CAN and DOES exist That is true.
>>546584617She got fucked by being disposable early in the game.
what's the trigger for the good visi ending? i shittalked her at the beginning but after the donut store ending i treated her very nicely, i even untied her, what made her turn evil?
>>546447884RobertKicked SonarRecruited PhenomamanRomanced InvisigalWelcomed Sonar back
Do you think next season will have a time skip or will it pick off where season one left off?
>>546595013Apparently according to the devs on discord. The dispatches themselves also play a factor into whether Visi turns good or bad. No, they didn't specify.
>>546595581my playthrough was super weird, she and robert were kissing and dancing with each other and shit and at the end she went of the rails and the game even told me she'd go after him, for what, his dick?
>>546595579I kind of hope it's not too long after season one's conclusion and that it focuses on Robert and the Z-team. Maybe expanding their jurisdiction beyond the Torrance branch? Yet I think what will most likely happen is that we'll focus on a new team elsewhere and we might see a few cameos. I hadn't took into account a time skip but that could come into play easily if they went that route.
>>546595890Makes sense. Hope the romance options are still with Robert after the fact.
>>546595579Time skip definetely. Bur probably not much. Only major divergence is Hero or Villian Visi and that can be solved in 2 or 3 episodes. (Yes it wont be satisfying)
>>546595856Quite odd indeed. For me when it came to major decisions revolving around Visi I recall...>Going out to the movies>Telling her we should just be friends>Told the truth about Robert being Mecha Man>Visi danced with Robert at the party>Told her to wait and make a plan for the pulse>"Failed" in helping her retrieve it.>Did not cut her from the team>Told her I didn't know how I felt about her planting the bomb>Untied herShe still took a bullet. Not too sure how the dispatches factored in. I remember being decent in most shifts.
>>546596068After remembering Telltale's track record with choices and permutations. I wouldn't hold my breath.
>>546595579It will have to timeskip until the SDN office is rebuilt.
I do think Visi's villain ending + Mandy romance fits the story better.Because what Invisigal is doing from Ep 6 onwards makes no fucking sense.>I will go YOLO on that base to secure the pulse seemingly for Robert>she almost got herself killed if it wasn't for Chase, who almost died saving her, if it wasn't for Mandy sacrificing her power to save him. >after Invisigal gets the pulse, she decides not to give the Pulse to Robert, seemingly to protect him from Shroud's goons, while in the meantime Shroud's goons are torturing Robert and would've killed him if it wasn't for Mandy stepping in and saving him.>Now that the whole city is in flames, she brings the pulse to the SDN HQ... for some reason, luring the Red Ring to attack the HQ. I guess she wanted to steal the mech? Because Robert would be thrilled if you blew up another one of his mechs.So, she's either a master manipulator playing all sides for her own benefit, or a cute retard that is so stupid her every action is making the situation worse for the heroes.Either way, I sm going to make babies with Mandy.And in the end Robert and Royd have to take the pulse from her almost by force.
>Talks like a Spanish guy>Is AfghanWhat did (They) mean by this?
>>546607991Because he’s voiced by an actor from Afghanistan. Fahim Anwar, who is known by his stage persona, Lance Cantstopolis. A character with a Spanish accent. Flambae is pretty much modeled off that stage persona.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CXKmfmenXg0
>>546608468I hate self inserting californiafags
>>546608553I mean that’s most of the Z-Team. Jacksepticeye plays a stout Irish brawler. Alanah Pearce plays the “devil from down under”.
>>546608756Luckily they are all literally who jewtubers so it doesn't ruin my immersion or the characters for me.
>>546608756Don't think that's quite the same, as far as I know Jacksepticeye isn't from Dublin for example.
>>546606773This is what I ended up with and honestly it feels right.
>>546609063>>546609165I don’t know, the team is consisted of ecelebs, comics, and musicians. It doesn’t really phase me all that much. I do at least enjoy the characters within a vacuum. Some more than others. I’d say the funniest one to me was Flambae.
>>546606773She didn't lure them, their plan was to attack the branch anyway. If you do the Equilibrium dispatch mission during that final segment, it's a "Fight the Red Ring" thing and upon succeeding they say their plan is to spread everyone thin then attack the Torrence branch.I think the only thing that makes sense is she wanted to pilot the mech herself to help fight them off and keep Robert out of the suit so he doesn't die in it. Blonde Blazer says in the post-torture billboard conversation that Visi must be trying to keep Robert out of the suit for some reason and refutes the idea that she could have any other overarching plan. Invisigal was caught by Royd looking for the suit with the Astral Pulse; she had the keys to the car, as he puts it.No matter which ending you get, Invisigal turns on Shroud in some way. The "hero" ending is her self-sacrificing without explicitly giving Robert the Pulse back. The "villain" ending is killing Shroud herself, giving Robert the Pulse back, and then disappearing with Robert musing that she'll come after him or wants him to be Mecha Man to go fight her. I can only surmise, with all of that, that she was definitely against Shroud and "bad" Courtney wants Mecha Man again (the ending where both characters don't turn over a new leaf and anchored to their old lives) while "good" Courtney wants Robert to stay with them as a dispatcher while she does hero work (both characters embrace their fresh starts and change their lives).
WE NEED AN EPILOGUE EPISODE
>>546618002I want to see Robert get passed around and used by everyone at SDN in the group orgy.
>>546619567if he was dating BB, she wouldn't stand for that
>>546620715BB isn't real, anon. She isn't going to fuck you.
>>546621394but your suggestion made no narrative senseif BB is real I want both her and Visi on my dick lmao, who gives a fuck what she prefers
>>546612391>she wanted to pilot the mech herself to help fight them off and keep Robert out of the suit so he doesn't die in itI agree with this as well.Episode 6 starts with another failed pulse experiment that (briefly) hospitalizes Robert, which Visi is present for and obviously distraught at. I believe that this moment, combined with Chase selflessly helping her at the end of the episode, was what led her to do what she did.This is also why I dislike the Thumbstick scene a lot (probably my second least favorite in the entire game). Not just a complete missed opportunity of a scene, but a detrimental one to the entire story.Keeping Visi restrained leads to an OOC moment which does not make sense with her stated motivation, not does it make sense logically. Neither does it make sense if you buy into the traitor/double agent angle. This choice also flows terribly to the next scene and is never addressed in any way. It's obviously terrible.The choice to release her isn't much better either, since they don't further explain Visi's motivations, or go into detail on any aspect of what's happening in favor of a dick joke. From what I remember, right after dealing with Thumbstick, she basically just says: "Alright, go get your suit.", completely plainly right before she disappears. No final pleas, no heartfelt dialogue on how she needs to let Robert do this, no acknowledgement of their mutual trust, etc. They didn't even animate and record the line like she was relenting on this issue after mulling it over.
>>546621585Having a woman on your dick doesn't make narrative sense either
>>546622590I actually think it made no narrative for there being no romantic scenes with any of the girls, you can make the case for Visi because how messy her life is but with BB, most people would have consummated the relationship by the second date at the latest
>>546622759It actually makes a lot of narrative sense for Robert to be passed around by every single character you saw on your screen. Moreso than anything else that happens in this game. Clearly you do not get it.
>>546618002That would be cool.
>>546618002would be a good way to explain all the double crossing visi was trying to do in the finale, seen many people not understand wtf she was trying to do there lol
Impregnate Blonde Blazer.Impregnate Invisigal.Impregnate Coupe.Impregnate Prism.Impregnate Malevola.
>>546635620Agree
The /v/ threads finally hit their natural end state
>>546637207They had a good run. I'm sure these threads don't have much time left either.
>All I wanted from this was for you to look at me the same way you look at Blazer...
>>546637473I must be autistic because when she said this I thought she was talking about Robert looking at her more as a hero, and not in a romantic way.
>>546637608She does mean it like that
>>546637608Could be both
>>546637608I didn't romance either of them and she still said this, so I'm assuming she does mean it in the hero way. It's just very oddly worded.
>>546598203sure it can end perfectly if you managed to make visi a hero. villain ending is peak sequel bait
>>546637668>>546637608in the romanced version she leaves last line "like im incapable of good" out of it, problably because she feels closer to robert but her self steem got so bad that she rationalised him not believing in her too but doesnt have the guts to say itif they ever show her backstory, there will be a lot of trauma packed in it, the girl had a rough life.
How Shroud leanred that there is a "shitty prototype" Pulse? Was it Visi who told him?
>>546642441>shiftswtf so if i don't send her as much as others she can turn into a villain?
>>546644595he knew about the mecha tests inside SDN and the bad pulses being used on them
>>546644986But how?
>>546644629It's a contributing factor, but not the only one.That being said, It would be funny if it was. That would mean that you could do the opposite and be a complete cunt to her as long as you sent her out a lot during dispatches and she'd go full hero.
>>546645072because of this cute mole called courtney
>>546618002No we need another season. Dont be distracted with meaningless shit.
>>546646640Why not both?
>>546646834Epilogue = shit use of resources. AdHoc should pay the writers tomorrow so they can start s2.
so is this the only place on the internet that recognizes how bad the writing around invisibitch and shroud was in the final 2 episodes
>>546647917No, BB fag. Only the dog getting held hostage was awful. Rest was good.
We recognize the final episode is flawed but we still hate jeets like you.
>>546648118keep your faggot waifu wars to /v/
>>546649301The one i replied to is the same jeet from /v/. I dont care for waifufagging.
>>546555330>It's a successful new IP that AdHoc owns 100% ofif they can get most voice actors for S2, and you know it's REALLY hard to deal with these drama queens, they are done for>>546620715keep telling yourself that Elliot
>>546651446>if they can get most voice actors for S2, and you know it's REALLY hard to deal with these drama queens, they are done forWhat the fuck are you even trying to say, retard?
So is this game eligible for 2025 game awards? With the recency bias this game could get tons of rewards imo.
>>546651637*if they can't get most of the VAs for S2 they are done forI mean they are half the reason people bother with it and I doubt the critical role staff will return if their own game fails. or if a bitch like alanah asks for a substantial raise
>>546653254Lmao fuck no. Only Laura Bailey as Visi matters -and maybe Erin Yvette as BB as well.
>>546653254None of the jewtubers are going to say no to a season 2, and the professional voice actors are all affiliated with the company that helped fund the game. Aaron Paul and Jeffrey Wright are the only ones actually famous enough to turn down a season 2, but Aaron Paul already said he wants to make more.
>>546653657Who could they get to replace the ecelebs?
>>546658189I can do a better job than all of them except Prism. Probably you can do it as well.
>>546647917Nah, I've seen other places mention how the Invisitraitor reveal is nonsensical.
https://x.com/theKrabs_11/status/1989404252469629160 lmao
So, what exactly was Visi trying to do with Astral Pulse in latest episodes?
>>546662063Nobody knows. Because she is an impulsive retard, my theory is she was going to try piloting the Mecha Man suit so Robert wouldn't get hurt in the big fight.
>>546662063>Suprise! I actually got the pulse and Mechasuit now fully functional.>Now fuck me in it!
>>546447884>favorite characterRobert, then your boi Chase (Keep Up)>KickedSonar, he did coke on the job knowing someone was getting kicked>addedWaterboy, felt he deserved a chance>romancedMandy, I have a thing for dorky girls>let them back inI did, that's what the program is about right? Everyone deserves a second chance?
>>546662063shroud saying she was a plant from the very beginning was a huge writing mistakeas soon as pic related happens, everything about her story becomes a dumpster firethis means she lied AGAIN to robert during her confession, she didn't leave shroud to join SDNthis means that after keeping the pulse from shroud to protect robert, she should know that would make shroud go after robert even more and maybe robert doesn't go to a red ring bar looking for a fight if he knows shroud doesn't have the pulse
while visi is sexo, would've been cooler seeing her being a troubled teen instead of romance stuff
>>546667443Visi becoming the new mechaman
>>546670994Evil.
>>546667443would've been cooler if they didn't force the enemies to lovers trope so hard and if they didn't go for a triple cross fake out
>>546666564We keep circling back to this, but yeah, that stuff simply does not make sense, and the story improves massively if you cut out those 10 or so seconds from the game.There's a threshold everyone has where a character does something in a story that is so retarded, nonsensical, OOC, etc. that you can no longer blame the character themselves and start blaming the writer. This shit blasted through that threshold for me, and even if I don't like Visi all that much, I can't blame her for any of that nonsense, because it's clearly the writers that fucked up.Some parts of it, like her not considering what Shroud would do if he noticed that he didn't get the Astral Pulse, are still in character enough for me, but anything past that is ridiculous.
brown girls are now making self insert ocs to ship with waterboy.
Did I miss out by not romancing anyone? I went with Invisigal to the movies for her mental but made her be just friends at the villain bar
>>546674336I mean, if neither of them grabbed your attention enough for you to try to romance them in the first run, then probably not. There are some cute scenes with both of them, but I'm not sure if that would be worth a full playthrough for you.
>>546674576I ended up not making any advances on Blonde Blazer because she was drunk and then after we meet PM who was her BF I realized I dodged a massive bullet and wanted to stay away. Invisibitch is an invisibitch who kept sabotaging everything and nearly getting people killed, its our job to redeem her but its not our job to babysit her through her entire goddamn life via a relationship

forget about the SA, visi should just "borrow" BB's pendant and give rob some good ol, viltrumite tier, rape
>>546686031>forget about the SAI can't. It's all I've been thinking about. I keep imagine scenarios where she uses her powers t assault me. Like a scenario where I'm asleep and she sneaks into my room. I wake up thinking I just wet dream, then I look down to see my erection and my cum floating in the air. Then she starts breathing and suddenly appears, straddling me.

I want to learn more about Mecha Man Prime. How did his suit work without the Astral Pulse?
>>546694534tumblr tier, and tumblr is dead
I know this games writing is far from perfect and there are greater inconsistencies and plot holes. I still can't wrap my mind around this one. Flambae from what we can observe has a similar power set to the Human Torch from Marvel Comics. He can fly, produce flames, and can set himself ablaze without burning himself. Yet in our first encounter with him we can choose to toss a glass of alcohol towards him. Setting his eyebrows on fire. I'm just wondering how? Is the flame that he attacks with different from the one when he flame's on? Or is he only invulnerable to the fire when he's ignited? If not, shouldn't his hair and skin be burning off? I know this question will never be answered but it's been on my mind.
>>546696618Presumably hes only immune to his own fire
>>546696682But wasn't it his own fire from his hand that caught the alcohol?
started playing the game and so far it seems pretty fun, getting a bit ahead of myself, but started to look through romance options once i got to know them both. was and am still stuck between them. on one hand i can have a tomboy wife and gf, and i was leaning heavily towards this. but bb's also sex in her own right, and she is also voiced by the same VA as ayre from ac6...tough decision
Will Dispatch make the cut?
>>546697368Obvious options:>Expedition 33>Hades 2>Silksong>Death Stranding 2From there, its certainly possible Dispatch makes the cut in the last 2 slots especially with the Voice Actor cabal behind it but we'll see
>>546697571I wonder if Keighley will put them on since the game was announced at last years VGAs.
>>546697849It would be kino to have Aaron and Laura back
>>546697849It wouldn't suprise me. Bigger question is if it will win? Didn't The Walking Dead season one win GOTY?
>>546698154>Bigger question is if it will win?Doubtful. I'm expecting an Expedition 33 sweep. Dispatch might snag one of the lesser awards.
>>546698154As much as I love it, theres no way Expedition 33 doesn't win
>>546698262>>546698420That's true.

For all achievements you need 3 playthroughs, right?>date Visi, cut Sonar, hire Phenomaman, hero Visi, kill Shroud>date BB, cut Coop. hire Waterboy, villain Visi, spare Shroud>date no one
that anon was right: visi does punch robert (and is visibly disgusted) when he acts like an insecure beta bitchmeaning (some) courtneyfags are no better than battered womenapparently she doesnt want to be your bro with tits but your fucking dog, one that you constantly praise, which weirds me out a bitincredibly realistic tho. and yet Im mad that said choices, apparently, dont affect the Sweet_Exit_Counter or her thirst for robert at any rate

nose ring theory might as well be law of the nose ring at this point
>want a sequel continuing the story of z-team>also like the idea of the series being an anthology set in different cities with different castsMan, the setting is simple but it has a lot of possibilities.
>>546718829Although AdHoc is a smaller company and I wouldn't want them repeating the same mistakes Telltale did. I do think they could have miniseries or a spinoff within the setting of Dispatch. That way we can explore the world beyond Torrance while also keeping the old crew around.
>>546637668>>546643605Huh? On both Visi and BB routes she said "Yes, you do." for me.
I'm impressed. Robert is a shit Reddit protagonist and both waifus are still not worthy of him.
>>546447884just finishedno, I won't be a deconstruction of the genre, cynical take on the superhero archetype or gritty modern retellingI WILL be heroicI WILL redeem the villainessand I WILL get the girl und be happy>>546447884RobertCoupePhenomamanInvisigalyes
>>546726785I love this sequence it'll only ever maybe happen in the finale, but it really shows Robert knows his team, his to motivate them and be the leader they need. It also shows that Flambae has grown to become more of a team player. He recognizes Robert it's manipulating him just a bit when he's tired and down and instead of throwing a hissy fit, he rolls with it and says yeah I can do this. It's just a great character moment between a couple of the best siren imo
writers lying out their ass about having no idea why it isn't a 50/50 split between blonde blazer and invisibitchshameful really
>is a battered by girlfriend cuck in the making manlet superhero>isn't a deconstruction of the genre
>>546729660I'm surprised too. I don't understand why Visi is more popular than BB.My only explanation is that players got scared by NTR vibes and ignored explanation about the real content of BB and PMan relationship.
>>546648118I thought it's the invisifags had the problem with the ending, the BBfags are perfectly content, because their best girl won the waifu bowl.
>>546736162...and to compensate, they decided to pick an option that's million times more toxic? How is that logical?
>Invisigal is the game’s deuteragonist, and she ends up wearing too many hats that clash with similar vibes found within the game. A Z-Teamer with tangled connections and feelings about Robert? You can find that in the team’s pyro, Flambae. Have untapped potential and unsure if they actually belong here? Waterboy specifically, and the whole group as a whole. Even Invisigal’s potential turn to villainy at the end if you don’t trust her in the finale isn’t that far removed from Sonar or Coupe teaming with Shroud, depending on which of them you cut earlier in the season.Huh, I never thought about it that way. If you remove Invisigal from the game, you clear the way for more characters having more meaningful relationship arcs.

Infinite dispatch mode when?
Now that it's over, how do you feel about Shroud as an antagonist?
>>546798651I thought the devs mentioned on their Discord they weren't interested in such a mode. Saying that each dispatch call was made by hand and not simply generated or whatever.
>>546798829A bit underwhelming.
This general is painfully slow
>>546799534There's more traffic on /v/ that's mostly thanks to BB and Visi stans arguing which waifu is better. Kind of surprises me that the mods don't just shut them down so they can funnel here.
>>546798829Once he got revelated the writing got sloppy, so it's hard for me to decide. He has a great villain aura and had a great introduction at the bar,but prediction powers are kind of lame since it boils down to the writers just deciding he get everything right. The choice to give him both astral pulses and him being defeated because his ego wouldn't allow him to leave and test them to find the real one was a good way to defeat him though. I think if the writers had done anoth pass of episode 8s script Shroud could have been great, but what we got is just kind of meh.
>>54679882910/10 character designbut he felt very undercooked, like he just shows up near the end after 6 episodes of being a vague ill-defined threat, yaps about how dad bad and tries to unleash some vaguely defined cybernetic doomsday planI feel like it would have worked a lot better if we actually knew more about dad and what exactly went down at the brave brigade
>>546798829One of my favourite jokes:>Villain who activates his power with phrase:"Chat, is this real?"
>>546799980>The choice to give him both astral pulses and him being defeated because his ego wouldn't allow him to leave and test them to find the real one was a good way to defeat him thoughIt could've been if this were actually the case. Handing him the pulse does literally nothing to win him the battle he's in right now.

>>546804691Yeah but waifu war spamming is just as bad
This was a fun game but the part where Golem goes on a 10 minute tangent about october 7th felt a bit excessive
>>546798829cool design and great introduction. he's the main antagonist of course but it's also clear he wasn't meant to be a main character considering he doesn't show up until the very end, and that's fine. making a permanently-killable main character in these types of games makes sequel writing a pain in the ass, so it's better the players don't get too attached to him.probability computation was a dumb power choice for the writers' sake because it was always going to lead to inconsistencies, especially for a villain who shows up in the 9th inning because there's not enough time to explain its limits. giving him both pulses was a clever way to defeat him, but that's the coolest thing they did with him. people are going to be picking apart the whole invisigal mole thing forever and his powers being poorly explained plays into that.
>>546798841Sure but so was this is the police and that also had an infinite mode>>546798829I wish he had more screen time to actually be a villain, he kinda just shows up when its time for the climax
>>546452842this specific anon again, things are looking up for me! twitter and tumblr fags are making more art and fan fictions and whatever else they do and it's all so great. it's never been better to be a waifufag!>>546679236thank you my man>>546463957he's a bro who gets looked over too much, I feel like we got at least one good scene with every member this season except golem. shame he's relegated to absurd comic character.>>546453492get this man a "so true...."

>watch some streams of the game>every single woman picks blazer >every single man picks visiHmmm
>>546610084the only character who really distracted me was Sonar, he worked well as a villain though
>>546811872cucking Phenomaman gave most men the ick
>>546812804this>>546811872also notice how none of them ever pick depressed superman over water janny?
>>546813005I like Waterboy and I picked visi. I like an underdog
>>546811826bifags won hard with this game
>>546813596It would've been a true win if we could actually get with the dudes in the game. That honor goes to KCD2. Still it's nice to at least know artists that see the vision.

You can recruit 1 Marvel villain and 1 DC villain to add to the Z-Team, who do you choose?
>>546815382Batroc and Clock King.
>>546816046What are their powers?
>>546817265Batroc is a skilled martial artist and master of savate. Clock King tells time.
I've been obsessively watching my Steam friends' achievements for this game and although it's only a sample size of 8, every single one got the "Sorry, Kid" achievement on their first playthrough. The split is 3/5 on Blazer/Invisigal too, so I really don't get how people who were absolutely certain they'd get Invisigal's hero ending are saying it's impossible.
>>546817412>Batroc is a skilled martial artist and master of savate.Ok make sense.>Clock King tells time.Is that it? Cause that's hilarious.
>>546817412he also says some amazing clock punshttps://youtu.be/ucN3VhHOjnAlive-action cinematic slop could never give us this glorious specimen
>>546447884>Who was your favorite character?Robert Robertson III>Did you kick Sonar or Coupe?Coupe. I wasn't happy about it, but I liked Sonar's gimmick more and he seemed better adjusted.>Did you add Waterboy or Phenomaman?Phenomeman. Felt like a really bad idea to send Waterboy on missions given he seems to have basically no hero experience, and Phenomeman probably needs it more considering his depression.>Did you romance Blonde Blazer, Invisigal, or nobody?Invisigal. "I can fix her" was my mindset the entire time, no lie.>Did you let the person you kicked back onto the team?Yeah. Probably shouldn't have, considering Coupe is an assassin for hire, tortured Robert, and tried to destroy LA, but the Phoenix Program is all about second chances and, till this point, I didn't feel like Robert had given Coupe her second chance.
>>546817732You are why I set my shit to private
>>546817732its based on the hacking minigame and dialogue, so they probably fucked up some of the minigames xawv
You didn't forgive Shroud, did you?
>>546821090Of course, right after I strangled him.
>>54681773250.6% of the steam playerbase got the good Visi ending21.9% got the evil Visi ending
>>546821090I was about to kill him but I saw the reflection of mecha man and couldnt do it, i didnt want to see him give into anger
Anyone get a second flight school mission? Some people on Reddit and a friend of mine all said they got a second one, but another friend and I both never got it.
I didn't realize they botched the writing for the end until I came here but not I can't unsee it. But overall I enjoyed it. Hope we get a season 2 that isn't shit.>FavRobert with 2nd being phenom>KickCoupe, Had just upgraded Sonar>Waterboy or PhenomamanPhenom, I thought it would be funny to have him around.>RomanceBB, Visi seems like a pain in the ass and BB is my fetish.>Let them backI did but I probably shouldnt have since I cut Visi in that one choice.
>>546826357maybe it depends on whether or not you picked phenomaman? if you pick pman maybe it only gives you one because you've already got a flier.
Phenomaman should always have the chops. It looks way better than just the mustache.
>>546828787Respectfully, I disagree.
>>546828005I picked Phenomaman and got two flight lessons
>>546815382Monarch
anyone know of any stories, video games, tv shows that have any love interest like visigal, i feel like she should be super common and yet I have a problem finding women like her in most media.
so which dispatch bitches canonically fuck shotas
>>546837769Mass effect 2 jack specifically
>>546838769Coupe
>>546822424Treating Visi like shit so I can get the achievement is going to kill me inside

>>546850493What does it say, I don't speak Latin.
>>546821090>forgiveI didn't forgive him, I spared himthere's a big difference anon, at that point his gang is in shambles vomiting their cyberware out, his mecha is scrap, the astral pulse is out of his reach and he's just a sad broken little man with his face beaten to a bloody pulpbeat the shit out of him to save Courtney and the city, not to satisfy my own bloodlust, and if you can't tell the difference well that explains why you're not a True Hero
>>546851834Not too sure either.
>>546856365>>546853384nope, can't beat the beef.
What game should I play where I get to create a member/ members of the Z-Team?
>>546852329For me it wasn't about bloodlust. Shroud was very plainly such a volatile factor that he couldn't be left in play. In the brief span of time from his release he completely took over and radicalized the LA underworld, he was recklessly aggressive in his goals and was plainly miles ahead of SDN's capability to handle. On top of how he was plainly deranged, I felt that the obvious outcome to morale posturing over keeping him alive to face justice was that we do this whole thing over again in a few years when he escapes.
>Any changes to her (COUPÉ'S) conditional employment at SDN should be immediately communicated to the LA District Attorney's office, the Federal Bureau of Investigations and Interpol. If COUPÉ'S employment is terminated, she shall be immediately placed under arrest, and returned to the custody of ADX Florence Supermax in Colorado.>Any changes to his (SONAR'S) conditional employment at SDN should be immediately communicated to the LA District Attorney's office. If SONAR'S employment is terminated, he shall be immediately placed under arrest, and returned to the custody of California State Prison, Los Angeles County.Why do we just let them go after cutting them?
>>546873902Poor worldbuilding. There's a known "villain bar" in operation which should be at best a well surveiled fed honeypot. To an extent you need nonsensical dumbassery for a capes setting to hit the tropes, but this is lazy.
>>546873902I expect they escaped, or Red Ring busted them out. Just another reason why Shroud really had to die. This is a world gritty enough for murder but capey enough that the police don't function well with this.>>546876284Yeah, but then I remembered biker bars exist. Just not generally in the midde of town.
>>546873902>>546876284To add even more confusion in the comics Sonar wasn't even in Prison, the only ones who should be out on parole is flambae, prism, maybe golem
What's the appeal of Invisigal?
>>546881903What ISNT the appeal of Invisigal would be a shorter answer
Did Roberto ever had sex inside the Mech?He's not a virgin, right? Iirc either him having exes or going through break up is mentioned in the game.Who do you think his ex is?
>>546885567It’s clear he isn’t a virgin. I bet he just did random hook ups
Best Debut Indie Game is the only category Dispatch was nominated for in The Game Awards.
>>546885567TIL THE MECH STINKS
>>546886669Dispatch is gonna get fucked by E33, even though it shouldn't be in this category.
>>546885567> He's not a virgin, right?He did say “People don’t think about much when I blow ‘em,”
>>546885567he says he almost drank himself to death after his ex left him when speaking with Pman
>>546449381>I had planned to go for Blonde Blazer, but when I had to choose I ended up going to the movies with Invisigal.Definitely feels like they railroad you that way because they specifically make refusing Visi make you feel like you're emotionally neglecting her where as you know that BB is a grown ass mature woman and she's not going to care if you pass her up.
>>546886669it's an extremely late entry so i'm surprised it was nominated at all
>>546898245If Coop had such boobs in game maybe I wound not cut her.
Stop the fucking fag spam dude
What does Coupe look like without her mask?
>>546908447
>>546909047>>546909064Damn, she's cute...
Why is Shroud simping for Blonde Blazer?
>>546885567I assume after she gets back from the hospital Rob and Courtney fuck inside the cockpit it's only logical, the male impulse to smash pussy after winning a battle combined with the curiosity to see if your cock also goes invisible when it's inside or if it just looks like it's floating mid air
>>546909187Love how this dumb chuuni doesn't expect anyone to notice this and just does it without thinking
>>546911456He sees her as one of the greats.
>>546905952Robert's rizz is insane. Guy turned the office bully into his tsundere
>>546926478Robert really is a rizzler. Too bad he can't get with any of the guys though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjMKpv1TUyQ

I want more visi...
>>546909064God dammit why do they always have to make women taller than me?
>>546930915Coupe only likes manlets, so you win.
>Dispatch is at the TGA for best independent game>it has to deal with E33It's over. Hopefully recency bias helps? (nah no way)
>>546932874Best we can hope for is people pity voting for Dispatch because they already voted for E33 in other categories.
>>546916852She's a genuine weirdo. I can respect that. She's not putting on an act, she's the real deal.
>>546931034>too short for normal women but too tall for coupefeels bad man
>>546935093She can knock you down a peg if need be.
Post your capeshit OCs that would fit into the Dispatch universe.
>>546939523Was I supposed to have one...?
>>546939523Not an OC but I wonder how a superhero with a Persona or a Stand would fit in this setting.
Need more BB
>>546945764Be the change you want to see.
>>546826218Just got it with P-man, episode 5. He had the Phenomenal Rest upgrade so he was still a flier. Now I got Flambae, Sonar, and P-man flying around, it's great.One reddit comment said they didn't give their other flight capable hero their normal hero upgrade on the playthrough they got the second flight school, so I did the same. My first run, where Flambae got flight school + Supernova, I gave Coupe one of her abilities early and recruited Waterboy, and never got another flight school the entire game.tldr: Patch might have changed things or there might be some RNG involved.
>>546840168just got around to looking at it and spot on recommendation.
I can't think of many SoL things that involve Mandy. And I'm pushing the limits of using my mouse in MSPaint to create the ones I can.
>>546961283this was a fun read, good job
>>546961283>punch up cheering for the celtics lel
>>546881903She has Wabi Sabi
>>546961283>Punch Up as a Celtics fan>Mandy wearing a Rams jerseyMost of the punchlines will be lost on a /v/ or /vg/ audience.
only 8% of people went for the threesome end? what fucking cowards.
>>546454427>he violates robert & the rest of the teams trust like four fucking timesmy first playthrough I was spoiled on the ending so I just picked all the "I trust her" options and honestly she's nowhere near as bad as people made it sound, there's Bioware companions who are bigger traitors than her with way worse reasons.>when still a villain, she was on top of robert's trapped mech and literally saw his face through the gaping hole in the chest, purposefully choosing to climb all the way around to the back dodging other villains' attacks to put the bomb in an armored section away from the cockpit, literally could have just fucking killed him there which is already better than Flambae. >stealing the astral pulse solo was genuinely her trying to help you and fuck over shroud, he was legit pissed and thought you had it. her crushing hard on robert and keeping the key to his mech so he would spend more time as a dispatcher is indeed dishonest, but it inadvertently saves the day by keeping the pulse out of shroud's hands and she directly hands it over when red ring attack. Robert "The family tradition is dying in the suit" Robertson benefitted from a bit more time interacting with actual human beings before putting on the finished mech for the final showdown anyways. >if you make her a hero, she's a triple agent who surprises even astral boosted shroud by taking a bullet for you, showing she was loyal to Z-Team and returning your faith in not cutting her. like don't get me wrong, she's a hot mess and is literally an asthmatic adhd riddled spaghetti spilling pervert and voyeur, but she's not that bad (at least if you make the above choices, turning to villainy is obviously bad)sure, she's a bit dumb, but aren't girls cutest when they're a little retarded?
>>546469865>I still find it weird that some managed to make her a hero even after all the simping. Makes me wonder what triggers it.for me, I got hero visigal on the manwhore route by >don't cut her from the team>say you trust her when given the option>forgive her when she comes clean about her past>when scolding her, criticize the results, not personal attacks (like "the perp got away")>give the corny "we make our own fate" line in the park, she feels like her powers destine her for villainy>she's invisible and likes eavesdropping on other conversations like a voyeur so don't shit-talk her chances at redemption in front of others, when blazer asks "do you really think she has a chance?" say "everyone has a chance"you basically have to be the outlet for her daddy issues and provide a stern guiding hand while still acknowledging her efforts when she does the right thing
>>546486660>he'd have never ended up in a position to be captured by shroudthats not true, robert doesn't spend 24/7 in the mech suit, even if he had the pulse by then his mech was still being fixed, hes still vulnerable to being kidnapped like he was. (this is why you should kill shroud every time)
>>546972008Yeah, I never really understood that argument. Shroud quite literally knows where Robert lives (one of his main goons is in his apartment at the start of the game) and he knows where he works. So if he wanted to torture information out of him, he could do so quite easily. If Robert started living in the SDN building, in the scenario where Visi gave him the pulse right after EP6, then Shroud would just need to enact the same plan he uses in EP7-8.
>>546973258>one of his main goons is in his apartment at the start of the gameDidn't Robert kidnap him? He also doesn't have any visible augments, Shroud would only be able to track him using his phoneWell not like it matters, Shroud predicted Robert's appearance at the bar, he'd easily find him elsewhere too
>>546974131>Well not like it matters, Shroud predicted Robert's appearance at the bar, he'd easily find him elsewhere tooyeah shroud knowing robert's secret identity is a huge weakness, any place robert goes as a civilian he's potentially vulnerable since his name and face and even habits are known by a wannabe Riddler "all according to plan" type
>>546974131>He also doesn't have any visible augmentsAlso, I just called him a 'goon', but that's Toxic.And yeah, even if the start of the game didn't take place at his apartment, Shroud still knows a ton of info about Robert. Could probably just station a lookout around SDN to see where goes after work and that would be that.
I need to lick Malevola's leotard gap. What a whore.
>>546454427It literally doesn't matter. She's cute as fuck and I can fix her.
>>546492485You just know.
>>546636824breach the invisiwomb
>>546752197>>546736162>>546729660BB first comes onto Robert, then does a 180, then keeps coming onto Robert, then reveals she's in a relationship, then breaks that relationship obviously to have a shot at Robert, then just stagnates and becomes a noncharacter if you don't romance her.Invisigal is just a retarded little tsundere, and her timing of coming into existance was impeccable when BB kept making things weirder and weirder. No, I don't want to deal with your breakup, or your ex. I'll have waterboy and I WILL be happy.

>>547005565The Boston Celtics use a Leprechaun as their logo. The Rams are LAs professional football team, not a basketball team. I imagine it's because she thought the "it's like missing the free throw on purpose to get the put back" was a football thing.
>>547027556Thanks for the explanation.
>>547023765my initial run was pretty random, prob gonna minmax everything now, prob should started the second run earlier, game makes you too attached lol
>>547023487I'm glad the little art of Phenomaman we get is excellent
>>547037294I guess quality over quantity rings true. Simply phenomenal.
The final player stats are out. We had a good run. See you in 2-5 years when the sequel comes out.https://x.com/theAdHocStudio/status/1990899109071294473
All this art kind of makes me want to draw again myself
>>547045304I've been drawing lately thanks to this game. While the artstyle isn't exactly groundbreaking. I do enjoy the look over all. So I've been trying to emulate it in my recent sketches.
Can you limit the fujo posting please
>>547047232You can always post too, you know?
I'm usually not a huge fan of narrative Telltale-styled games when they feel like it's basically just minor permutations of the same railroaded story (with some dressing here and there to make your choices FEEL more important than they are), but does this actually have enough meat and variance to it to make it a worthwhile $30?And yes, I realize that asking a general if they like the game the general is for is a pointless move, I already know you all hate it
>>547056993I'd say it's fine for what it is. Nothing groundbreaking more of a taste of something familiar. As you mentioned the permutations are minor but they do provide some change in your playthrough. Mostly being reflected in the dispatch segments and whomever you romance.
