Thread 725473993

It all ends, forever, in 2 days

Now that the dust has settled, did they do a good job?

still dont give a fuck about capeshit, not now, not the day after tomorrow and not in 80 years on my deathbed. fuck you, golem.

>>725474084
holy fucking based.

>>725474084
bro, what the fuck did golem ever do to you

I hate that Malevola's tanktop is tucked in to her shirt for some reason.

Did everyone just memory hole the fact that Critikal is a pedophile?

You know what surprises me about the game? How little sociopolitical commentary is in it.
I'm not even talking about race wars, gender wars or gay shit, but you would expect at least one dialogue about the moral implications of corporate heroes, or how SDN literally takes people out of prison and makes them into superheroes.
Robert did all of his heroics entirely for free, but the game never once contrasts him and Blazer or Phenomaman. The question of "Would Phenomaman stop a bridge from collapsing, if he wasn't called in by an SDN subscriber?" is never brought up.

If Dispatch was written by other people, the narrative would be solely about these questions. In fact, I can imagine a Superman episode where he interacts with something like SDN, and they're not portrayed in the best light.

>>725474084
I honestly hate capeshit, the only hero movies I ever watched were the Nolan Batman trilogy, the Maguire Spiderman, and the first Guardians of the Galaxy. That said, Dispatch is just great.

>>725474063
And of all of the teams Blazer could have assigned to Robert, she gives him Z team who's coincidentally the team Invisigal is stuck in. Do you see the contrivance? This entire reveal is dumb as fuck, only there to create drama. If Shroud had planned it that way with someone on the inside at SDN, okay fine, that can work. But by coincidence?

>>725474084
Then why come into the thread?

>>725474084
>fuck you, golem.

>>725474305
SDN seems to be a genuinely normal company thats just trying to supply a service to people that they greatly benefit from, and make a profit from

Its like the stereotype ideal of a business

Throw Toxic off the balcony
Attack the reporter
Cut Sonar
Friendzone Invisigal and Blonde Blazer
Tell them you're Mecha Man, Robert is fake
Don't support Invisigal
Kill Shroud
Leave SND

Fallen Robert

>>725474290
Fits the character, all these Harvard investor types are pedos

>>725474428
I could totally see Sonar going on an unprompted ran about the age of consent.

So you're saying that people pay a $500 per month subscription so they can use superheroes to do errands for them like pick up furnitures and walking their dogs?

>>725474305
it kind of reminds me Hi Fi Rush (probably because of the art style) where despite having the trappings of cyberpunk the plot is resolved by a good CEO replacing the bad CEO and the company continuing to be powerful (if not "rules the world" powerful) because cybernetics and their other products are awesome. Not even necessarily bad, just dissonant for the genre.

>>725474174
>tanktop is tucked in to her shirt for some reason.
thats a white leotard

>>725474423
Punished Robert

>>725474423

>>725474290
He is? What did he do?

>>725474462
Counterpoint: by using them to help you with chores, you get more out of them than you would your fire insurance or car insurance

>>725474174
It's a leotard or a swimsuit. One of the two, I dunno.
It just looks like a tank top due to the color.

>>725474305
I like that dispatch is a genuine in your face superhero world, maybe we dont always need to think deeply about flying aliens with hearts of gold. maybe we can focus on the lives of those superheroes and what they encounter on the job and their personal lives instead of being realistic and nitpicky about the morals of organized superheroing. I like my fiction to be fictional sometimes.

>>725474490
If you kill Shroud, he wins

It's as if you guys haven't been passionate or excited for games/stories for a long while before this came along.

>>725474423
>Don't support Invisigal
>Kill Shroud
good luck with that

>>725474305
i think after the fucking onslaught of superman but evil stories we have been getting over the past 4 decades im ok with this one game not exploring that topic

>WE'RE DOING SEASON TWO BITCH
>B-but Aaron, we're contractually obligated to make Critical Role slop

OKAY TIRED OF THE NORMIEPOSTING

>I WANT TO PLAY SUPERHEROES IN A VIDEOGAME
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I wish there was more romance reactivity and romance scenes and mechanics in general. Like more complex romance routes, where you can create a real love triangle and resolve it.
I think real kino path would have been to start out romancing Blazer, then ditch her and go for Invisigal, but in the end to end up with Mandy, that's the real kino route. But it seems kinda not possible with the way they made their mechanics work. It seems that just going on a date is a comittment to a singular romance, although there are some differences there. Apparently, if you didn't kiss Mandy, then in the next scene with Blonde Blazer in the locker room you can ditch her, lol. Then you will dance with Invisigal, and apparently the game treats that as romancing her too. You can't, however not romance Invisigal if you went on a date with her, as no matter what you say in the bar (even saying we can just be friends) the game still treats you two as in romance (judging by the conversation with Chase in Ep. 6).
Aaanyway, we'll see how the next two episodes treat romance, I'm not holding my breath, but hoping for some reactivity and more choices regarding it.

>>725474363
Dude, it's a story about a coked up crypto-bro that turns into a monsterbat and a talking pile of mud.
You are seriously overthinking it.

>>725474672
anon im pretty sure this was the exact kind of commants autists and nerds got from normies before video games became mainstream

Imagine this game but your choices mattered beyond the very end.

>>725474305
>Robert did all of his heroics entirely for free, but the game never once contrasts him and Blazer or Phenomaman

Blazer literally calls him a real hero and say she's just a corporate hero for hire during her introduction, but they don't go beyond that in exploring the moral implications of it and just leave it as a positive characteristic for Robert which explains why BB is so smitten with him from the start.

>>725474079
yeah the whole main cast did well
the ecelebs are a mixed bag but they're good enough for a video game's supporting cast

>>725474659
>Ad Hoc, my son, you are successful game dev now. You must choose next game.

They do it in Arcane too, where the whole plot is resolved by them just sitting down and giving Zaun representation (whole one council seat) in a five second long scene

DEAR ESTHER 2.0 GAY HELL.
FUCK
OFF
NORMIES

>>725474808
normies are tired of evil superman and subversions, therefore the non-normie opinion would be to become what normies were like several years ago obviously.

>>725474363
It's like the saying "Real life is stranger than fiction" or "It's a small world."
They both relate to how common coincidences are when you really look at it. They're not everywhere, but it's not beyond the scope of possibility, at all.

>>725474463
>>725474862
This is standard 'corporate approved rebellion'. It takes the mask off of neoliberal ideology, and reveals they don't actually care about the socioeconomic rot in our system but instead just want to run it. That's why they idolize the USSR.

Why won’t they release the next trailer, are they stupid?

What's her endgame?

>>725474462
I like to think that Robert could absolutely screen those calls but chooses to send them anyway as a way to force the Z-Team to get out in the community.

You ARE gonna refuse to forgive her in season 1 so you can give her a more kino forgiveness in season 2, right?

Telltale never had a teaser for their last episode of the season at the end of penultimate episodes, that's the formula, retards.

>>725474970

Listened to that Cr1tikal/Paul interview while working and there's not much in it, they mostly talk about aliens or magic tricks or Paul's wine business. All that seems relevant is

>Paul really HOPES it goes on for multiple seasons, but apparently doesn't know
>they initially sent him 8 thick scripts and an animated concept trailer, which he found daunting
>he was drawn by the concept of a game with episodic weekly releases because it would encourage "water cool conversations, like when Breaking Bad came out"
>he watches Cr1tikal's videos now

Even if he knew, he probably would be under NDA, same as Charlie.

>>725475214
>>water cool conversations, like when Breaking Bad came out
Genuinely miss this. Fuck netflix and their batch shit, discussing weekly vincekino with friends family coworkers and /tv/ were some of the best moments of my life

Hoping we get to fuck her in Season 2

>>725475380
What’s her power?

>>725475353
I love being a part of these threads. It'd be even better if there were no leaks, but here we are.

What do you think is the deal with all this storage space shit? Are these episodes really going to be that much longer? Or will there be a shit ton of endings or something?

You should have known what you signed up for, man.
No one wants to take her away from Punch Up, but no one wants to actually draw midget men. It's hard to get the proportions right.

>>725475214

>>725475626
She's just chunni

I didn't pay attention to Minecraft shit, what exactly happened?

>>725475626
evil + crazy = pure sex

>>725475460
Episode 8 is actually 5 different episodes all fully different depending on your choices and your dispatch success rate

>>725474853
>>725474079
Aaron Paul is actually a really good voice actor. You can hear exactly what Robert feels at any given moment, because the emphasis in his voice is always spot on. I'm kind of surprised, to be honest.

Everyone say thank you Robert and Jessie

You just gotta find the more interesting superheroes

>>725475460
>will there be a shit ton of endings or something
Yes, but not enough that I'd imagine it'd be that much of a jump in size.

You've got Coupe/Sonar, Waterboy/Phenomaman, Blazer Romance/Not Romanced, Invisigal Romance/Not Romanced, Shroud Killed/Arrested, Invisigal Hero/Villain and how they all play together.
The only way that would require a fuckton of space is if they have all the endings be completely separate massive video files, but they haven't done that with previous episodes, so it wouldn't make sense for that to be the case for the finale.

>>725475787

>>725475164
>>725475531
Do you dumbfucks not know how to read? I am talking about the teasers at the end of each episode, you dumb fucking idiots.
Wolf is one of the only exceptions btw, but it's teaser was a nothingburger.
You are talking about trailers, and the only reason they did them was because with 2-4 months wait between episodes people already forgot about the game and lost interest.

>>725476175
Malevola can teleport

>>725476175
Mal makes portals.

>>725475787
He's done a great job as Robert, but I think he requires great directing to do well. His performance in Invincible is so bad it's funny but also sad

>>725474290
since when do you have a problem with pedos?

I feel bad for Phenomaman back then everyone was thinking he was secretly evil when he just wanted to do good
Doesn't matter if you romance BB or not they will break up and he is gonna be depressed

Hey /v/, keep up

These threads got me into reading the Fables comics, and I've gotten to this part. WTF is this shit? Bigby would never say that.

>>725476302
>The twist is that Phenomaman is a good guy, hes just autistic

Epic

Bros I'll be honest, I haven't loved a game this much since childhood... superhero games were always my guilty pleasure, it started with Freedom Force, DCUO and Marvel Heroes. I'm glad capekino is back on the menu.

>>725476046
I wonder how Marvel Citizens would react to dispatch world...

>>725476049
That's not what happened at all. There were always 5 episodes on the main menu, like in all Telltale games. But when episode 4 finished the main story of the season, they announced 3 additional episodes, as a second season pass, and episode 5 (the best of the game, btw) was promoting that second season pass, starting a new story. It was a genuenly great plan on their part, I don't know how it did in numbers, but the idea is great, to give the full story in 4 episodes, and with the final hook people up to pay for more.

I'm really curious how the forgiveness dialogue will be with Invisigal. I hope it's not a choice between two stupid responses like:

>It's totally okay you almost got Chase killed and are responsible for the bomb that almost took my life and crippled the Mecha-Man suit. No need to feel bad.

or

>Stupid invisibitch, I hope you die- you'll never be a hero.

I hope there's nuance and that if she becomes a villain it doesn't feel forced just because you didn't romance her.

>>725476523

The Adhoc situation is insane

>>725475626
She's not evil, she's just edgy and chunni
Undeniably crazy though, it would make sense if Punch Up was the one who broke up the relationship

>>725476806
Its a total mystery Robert

>>725476523
Something is different about this one and I don't know why
I haven't felt this way about a story and its characters for at least a decade, and I swore off capeshit back in like 2017

>>725476459
I bet there's specific dialogue regarding the decision of whether or not to kill Shroud.
BB will probably encourage you to imprison him and mention how heroes never kill when it can be helped.
Meanwhile, Visi would probably bitch about how could you let him live after everything he did.

>>725476937
Story feels like it's written by people who aren't afraid of being called cringe and it's very genuine in how it presents everything instead of needing to be self-aware and wink at the audience.

>>725476523
you guys are just falling for the parasocial nature of the game.
I come here because I'm bored, but I'd rather be talking about the gameplay desu, but it's also pretty disappointingly shallow.

>>725477016
No it was him being a smartass

>>725476175
Malevola has a magic sword
Punch-Up and Golem have magical origins but don't use magic themselves
The others are probably like mutants or something (except Phenomaman, who is an alien)

>>725474363
I mean the reveal is dumb as bricks, but people thinking it was like planned by Shroud, Blazer or Invisigal is even stupider, it's just an "unfortunate coincidence" for the sake of the plot.
We just get the shitfucks because Blazer heard good word from Chase, it's him who puts a good word and tells everything about you to Blazer. That's why she trusts you with them.

>>725478167
No, I'm still here.

Good morning sir.

It's out.

there's no option to throatfuck phenomaman out of his depression until he lives only for your cock, so it's shit

>>725478074
>I'm still debating if I should include arguments about religion in my Malevola fic
If they are comedic I would say yea
Malevola being a half-demon and an atheist is funny

>Mecha Man cut off Flambea's fingers, then burned his eyebrows
>Flambea punches Robert to square them off after he learns his identity, and then he's cool with him
>Invisibitch blew up Robert's mech and put him in a coma
Will you forgive her when the reveal will come, or are you pettier than Flambea?

MY FUARKING HERO

>>725474305
To be fair, we see that Supes like Blazer or Phenomaman are used for advertisements for other companies. And we know that Robert had an inherence, which I wouldn't find odd if it was due to the money his father and grandfather made as MechaMan.
It is safe to assume that superheroes can just sell their image, or make money by doing their service. But Robert is kinda stupid and on a revenge path that he literally does it for free.

>>725478252
This is where the heart boner happens

>>725478270
Holy shit, he talks.

>>725478472
>Flambea punches Robert to square them off
he also tried to kill him (GOAT Golem stopped him)

>>725478465
Shroud typed this.

>>725474716
Bro just get a gf, lmao

>>725478472
Flambae was burning down a building filled with people, Robert was hunting down a supervillain. Equivalence can't be drawn between them.

>>725478270
Why are the rest of z-team so down on her, I wonder? They wouldnt all get pissy over her having bombed Robert when she was a villain, would they?

I DRIVE

>>725476843
I'm a proud racist and even I was sad at what happened to Chase. That is what they call good writing, bros.

The juice just cannot be worth the squeeze. Focus your time on literally anyone else.

>>725478365
Looks like they are playing their cards close to their chest.

Anons, I'm considering settling in for the night and cracking a few beers, picking this up and having a chill time.
How woke is it actually?
Are the eceleb voice actors cringe, or can you get over it?

Why is Sonar always aura farming?

I'm surprised Mal was the who said they wanted Invisigal out
But then again it makes sense
I wonder who is gonna be on her side

>>725478815
I feel bad for Invisifags cuz their waifu is gonna suffer a lot
But then again some are probably into it

>>725478907
Its about as anti woke as a modern videogame can be

The most 'woke' it gets, is that one of your team members is gay, and hes the biggest asshole on the team

>>725478606
>>725478616
Did they purposefully make this game so Gosling-coded?

>>725478270
>>725478465
The way Shroud says Mecha Man sounds like Troy Baker to me

>>725478270
>>725478365
Wow the dispatcher part finally has some plot relevance, cool to see that Invisigal's actions had repercussions and wasn't just watered down.

>>725478907
>Are the eceleb voice actors cringe, or can you get over it?
the only cringe one is sonar who is voiced by critical, but you can fire him
I liked the game 2 beers under

Hmmmmm

>>725478987
It's not impossible. There's a scene in the Boys where Homelander watches Taxi Drivers and goes "he's literally me".

>>725478472
>Flambea punches Robert to square them off after he learns his identity, and then he's cool with him
he cant be cool with anyone
:)

>>725478907
The only eceleb I know is Moistcritical besides that I think everyone is passable except maybe PunchUp
This game has a black woman has no dad joke I would say far from being woke

>>725479009
Mercer has gone on to carve out his own niche and has all the Crirical Role stuff, but I remember when he was doing all the roles as discount Troy Baker. Literally replacing him when he got too expensive, like P4 Golden.

>>725478437
They're a bit serious because some of them are one to one conversations I've had about God

>>725478957
>I wonder who is gonna be on her side
Literally nobody outside of Golem.

>>725479208
Punched

>>725478907
It's not woke at all
The e-celebs all play more minor characters and they don't usually have enough actual lines to become annoying (most of what you hear from them is just them bantering at each other during gameplay). The characters who do 90% of the serious talking in the game all have great VAs.

>>725478365
>Shroud actually sounds as indimitating as he acted in episode 6
Im getting my hopes up

>>725479072
Why is he so dirty and beat up while at work

There is a way to make the wait seem shorter. I wonder what could it be? I'll let you WORK it out.

>>725478957
No one, even if you like don't want to be spoil on who actually supports her Golem
She really has no friends within the z-team, Mal and Prism became friends, Punch Up and Flambae go out, Sonar and Mal are longtime friends, Coop and Punch Up fuck. No one fucking likes her except Robert lmao
Even fucking Waterboy is getting some bitches

Mandy literally runs around unfucking Visi's bullshit, and yet people still claim Visi is a superior waifu.

Dispatcherbros…

>>725479208
so, hes definatly gonna be set ablaze by flambae, right? his superpower literally makes gasses eminate from him. dude would burn until he powers down and then some

>>725479440
Robert is about to become Cecil

>>725479420
sounds like maverick talk to me

>>725479072
>SHROUD IS BACKING UP EVERYONE'S TOILETS!
>HE'S DISABLING ALL THE PIPES!
>IT'S TURNING INTO GODDAMN NEW DELHI OUT THERE!

>>725478907
It's fine. Probably worth it so you don't miss out on the finale. Only Invisigal is cringey, but the voice acting is decent. Regarding the "woke" part, I consider that to be a matter of writing where everyone gets along well and has identical viewpoints and so forth, and that's not really the case in this game.

>>725479360
They already killed Chase they better not kill anyone else
ESPECIALLY MAL SHE DID NOTHING WRONG
>She flirted with Rob-
NOTHING WRONG

>>725479440
Jesus

>>725479537
Anon, I want you to really examine the life choices that led you to do this, and over a game like Dispatch too. I want you to really think about what happened to the person you've wanted to become.

Of course the cp guy decides to come back now

>>725478957
>I wonder who is gonna be on her side
Anon... They ALL want her out, according to the script, because she went out of her way and got Chase hurt, the only one who is not voting for her leaving is Phenomaman/Waterboy, but they will say they will agree with what everyone decides. Robert still won't cut her though, jsut suspend her.

>>725479440
Just turn the lights back on, nigga.

>>725479532
first he gets multiple punches in the dick, then he flies away.
Flambae goes "Its wizard time motherfucker! FIREBALL!"

>>725479594
it was all part of the plan

>>725479659
Golem doesn’t

>>725479537
nigga kys

>>725479594
All according to keikaku

>>725479659
How could you forget Golem? He's the only one who stands by her side.

>>725479440
Hmm if only someone could QUICKLY solve all these crimes. We'd need a SPEEDY solution. Someone with a TRACK record of solving crimes in a timely fashion. But who could that be?

>>725479623
She was 100% correct to flirt with Rob. Invisigal deserves to be cucked

>>725479639
so if shroud and his red goons are this dangerous why didnt SND swap out the Z-Team for one of their more competent superhero roster before everything went nuclear?

Whats his problem with Mega Man?

>>725479623
>They already killed Chase
Uh huh.

>>725479420
BUT ALL OF YOUR HEROES ARE GONE

>>725478270
>>725478365
I haven't played the games cause they're not on my system but I've been occasionally checking the threads cause I like capes. And now I'm wondering - is Shroud gonna turn out to be an older future Bob? Or Bob's dad? They do sound alike.

>>725479659
>we want her out because we are a bunch of pussies
great job guys
>>725479773
it's always morally correct to cuck cuckney

Do you think there will be option at the where Bobert dies?

>>725479770
This is Chase’s time to shine, bros!

>>725479804
In the dispatcher lines, they already had a hold of them but they haven't been able to take them down all out once. That's why Blazer wanted to take a day to plan it with a more competent roster. You can see even more heroes joining the final battle.

>>725479893
Of course
His fate is to die in that damn suit

>>725479804
considering how Shroud has operated so far, he played it save and made himself appear relatively harmless until he could pull this off.
You know, making sure you can put out your game ending stuff without being stopped.

>>725479867
no, we learn his identity in episode 1 and it's not a secret.

>>725479745
I threw him out of the conference meeting in Episode 3, he still hasn't come back to me.

>>725479821
not a single good game since Inafune left

DIE SHROUD

>>725479931
I want it
MCs sacrificing themselves is kino

>>725479821
Robert has the pulse and he wants it.

>>725473993 (OP)
They'd be retarded to not have a season 2 given the success of S1. They aren't retarded are they?

Do you think a sequel should factor in skill checks in decision-making based on Dispatch performance? For example, you may not be able to encourage a depressed hero if they have too many failed calls or talk an arrogant hero with a perfect record out of doing something stupid?

>>725479821
His father was a science nerd who made the pulse, and clearly didn't get credit and probably died a two bit villain or poor or both

>>725478606
>>725478616
>>725478660
HOLY SHIT

KINO

>>725479925
>>725479959

yeah I meant before the shit hit the fan, because this just makes the SND look grossly incompetent despite probably having superheroes who'd be good at intel gathering and potentially knowing that the district where the ex-supervillain hyper retards are assigned to is also a staging ground for a supervillain blowing up most of the city
>well shroud was simply smarter
thats my point and it feels a bit silly

>>725474551
>Kill Shroud
>He wins
>I win
The best deals are when everyone walks away happy.

Man, I wish they licensed Protomen for this game instead of the never-to-release Wolf Among Us 2.
Light up the night would be such a good theme for the sending out heroes for the last battle montage.

Fuck me TWAU was straight up sex for the eyes

Its like poetry, it rhymes

>>725480261
The lads amity

>>725478907
It's an early 2010s game. There's a diverse cast, but they're real people and none of them give a shit about politics nor are given special privileges for being *insert minority here* while they're even allowed to make lightly racist jokes that poke at steroetypes

who else chose waterboy for the sole reason of him being a direct counter for flambae's powers?

>>725479440
>city wide calls
>combine all calls into one super call with 100 slots for heroes
>golem x 100 solos the whole city

>>725480408
>It's an early 2010s game. That's actually such a good way of putting it. It feels like it was ripped straight out of like 2011 and released in current year.

>>725480424
Waterboy needs this opportunity to prove himself.
Phenomaman just needs time to calm down, but he still has the job secured.

Makeup sex with Visi in next episode.
Trust.

>>725480247
SND isn't some kind of police force, they are heroes for hire. They know how dangerous the Red Band and Shroud are, but their main focus is the civil calls. Can't do much investigation if it isn't a call, their job starts when they go into the site of the call, and it ends after it's fixed or handled in the best way possible for their abilities and the dispatcher call.

That's why Robert (pre SDN) focused so hard into capturing them, but his mistake was going solo.

>>725477492
>>725477425
It's his father, Pork.

>>725480247
Again, he literally came off as your average crime leader, something the Z team can manage, while the A team deals with shit that would actually threaten the city, like mama Kaiju. This shit? This is some insurrection Bullshit.

>>725480659
Some dude

>>725480603
Visi is just gonna rape Robert

>>725478606

Holy based, if the game gives us the choice she'll be out of my team faster than she can spell invisibitch.

>>725480503
>You stay Robert
>I go

Robert should just become a completely powerless and suitless hero where he dresses in his dispatcher uniform and is scrappy as fuck and uses a claw hammer or something

It's been living inside me my whole life
I can’t seem to fight it, I don't know why
I tremble as it grows

I can't live without it
I can see you’re scared
And if you knew the truth
Would you always be there?

I want you to feel
I want you to feel the way I do

It's been living inside me my whole life
I cannot control it, I don't know why
It operates alone

I can't live without it
I can see you're scared
And this cannot go on
I know it's unfair
I just

I want you to feel
I want you to feel
I want you to feel the way I do
Feel the way I do
Feel the way I do

Not much to discuss. The trailer just confirms that Shroud is the main villain which we already knew.

>first time we meet Phenomaman scary psycho strings with distorted WHIIIIRRRRS start playing
Why? Is this a meta evil Superman joke?

>>725480739
They really shot themselves in the foot when they cut out flashbacks with Shroud and Robert's dad and Chase from the game, and put them in the fuckig comic books. Cause that made people heavily speculate who Shroud really is, oh he's so mysterious, he never talks, who is behind the mask? All because they missed/forgot those 3 seconds that pic is on screen, revealing who he is right there in the first episode. This will lead to a lot of disappointment among normies, when he really is reavealed to be just some guy.

BTW there was not reason not to include those flashbacks, next episode will start with a Chase flashback (him and child Robert in a store), so they should have just kept them, but no, they needed some shit for their deluxe edition, fucking idiots

>Season 2
You can pick one team member to show up. Excluding Visigal. Who you choosing?

>>725480907
>Cut out Visi
>Also spend 70 % screentime with Visi in Episode 7/8

Yup :D

>>725480993
That's only if you kissed Blazer, he gets normal hero music otherwise.

>>725481031
Waterboy

>>725481031
My goat, WATERMAN

>>725480993
The music is different depending on if you kissed BB or not

>>725481031
Shit… cant decide between golem, prism, waterboy and phenomaman

WITH NEW VA PLEASE

>I'll hold off Toxic, you go get Visi
>A-and thanks for everything Robert

>>725480659
He was Robert's dad's former friend and the "gear guy" in the Brave Brigade with Mecha Man Astral and Track Star. And honestly since he has bright blue eyes and brown hair I sort of feel like Mandy is going to turn out to be his daughter. I feel like hair color and bright colored eyes are always dead giveaways for those kinds of twists.
Anons are obsessing over VillainVisi but both of the love interests are secretly stabbing him in the back but have now fallen in love with him.

[Buy a fucking ad]

>>725480921
He could work as a street hero but the mecha suit is basically his father's legacy he can't just let go of it

>>725481193
Except old people for some fucking reason

>>725481214
>Come back
>Toxic is splattered on the walls and ceiling

>>725478957
of course malevola is pissed, imagine wanting to get along someone who crashed the party, acted alone behind everyones backs and got a friend killed, vizi is beyond cooked

We all agree on killing Shroud right?

Is Waterboy finally getting some black pussy by the end of this gamee

Flambé's been snuffed out, BRING ME SHROUD

That reference to Wolf Among Us in the car is there for a reason, anons. Are you ready for GLASS HIM in the next episode?

>>725481525
Of course.

Holy shit
What if Blazer is a fucking mole for Shroud and Visi is supposed to be helping her but is feeling guilty over the whole thing ever since she got to know Robert?

>>725480993
No, it's because you're led to believe BB is single, but it turns out she got (seemingly) asshole-ish Superman as her boyfriend.
>>725481031
Prism or Sonar or Phenomaman

>>725479419
>She really has no friends within the z-team
That's honestly really surprising. I get that she's a loner but she doesn't seem like a loner among the Z-team.

>>725474079

I thought Aaron Paul was a meme actor but he's genuinely fantastic in this.

>>725481621
What's with trying to put the blame Blazer just for doing her job

>>725478270
>0 mecha action
It's over..

>>725481621
i feel like one of them would have admitted to that at this point

>>725480993
No, it's because you're led to believe BB is single, but it turns out she got (seemingly) asshole-ish Superman as her boyfriend.

>Robert just looks at the camera, stunned

>>725474519
he once said he doesn't give a shit if people jack it to loli because it's not real. I assume in his head that morphed into "he's literally diddling kids as we speak".

>>725478616
>>725478606
>>725478270
Ooh self hated, I didn't know I was into that.

The twist with Blazer is that she really is just a nice girl who wants to settle down and start a family.

>>725481673
Well, she's not exactly a social butterfly, so what are you expecting.
Come to think of it - Sonar is more popular than her. The team dweeb.

>>725481525
Unless he is actively threatening the life of someone at the time the decision is made, no.
Heroes don't kill- we must maintain our moral code, to be examples to others of doing what us right, even if part of us wants to fall back into into our base desires.

>>725478270
>no mech portion
well that's incredibly disappointing

>>725481673
I mean look at the scenes where the group hangs like the bar or going for tacos, or the fact that she goes to the movies alone, she literally has no friends within the group, the group likes her to some degree but not to call her a friend, that's why no one sticks out for her when she screws up.

Visi will die if the player rejects her, nothing will happen to BB in any case...Players wanted choices to matter, and this is the result.

>>725481851
>Joker escapes Arkham and kills a million people for the hundredth time

>>725481031
Prism is my most dispatched, so prism.

Guys a new route has been leaked

>>725477617
good on you anon

>>725481851
>>725481525
I still haven’t decided, but if its an option, ill definatly cripple him

>>725481685
I'm just saying, she has brown hair and bright blue eyes like Shroud, and her roommate is a former Shroud crew member who she has insisted not be fired even if she was at the bottom of the list. Meanwhile Invisigal was very reluctant to be there at the beginning, and she seems bothered by Robert liking BB but BB isn't bothered by Robert like Visi.

>>725481851
Have you considered that getting revenge against someone feels really fucking good?

>>725481969
Real ending.

>>725481895
desu i wouldnt want to be close to the chick who enjoys favoritism from BB/Roberto thus gets to stay while either sonar or coupe get fired

>>725481720
would be a kino secret ending.

We don't really get a hold of how the criminal system really works in this world, we only know they can be on parole and be release under the guise of turning their life around for joining something like the Pheonix Program. Then again, Coop goes back to normal society after leaving the program lol

Most of these clips look to be Episode 7 so they're holding a lot to their chest unsurprisingly.

EIther Visi or BB will sacrifice herself to save you from something and thats when you decide if shroud dies

A feel good ending with the only stakes being Invisigal.

When did Charlie donate to Harvard? Did he back some shady research privately? He doesn't have kids and he doesn't seem rich enough to be a pedo mega donor.

See, this is the solution that should be done more often, paralyzing them.
Can't be much of a threat if you're armless. I'm honestly surprised there's not a comic where Batman makes the Joker quadraplegic.

Typical Telltale strat. Make a choice between two characters, but the one you pick just stands quietly in the back of crowd shots or just off screen so that the choice doesn't have any real impact.

>>725482280
Absolute Batman has shown me leaving them alive is more brutal than killing them

>>725482280
I think there is actually and he somehow still is a menace from what i heard, but he only goes against batgirl and nightwing i think

>>725482102
Invisigal and Blonde Blazer are both traitors and one will turn coat for Robert depending on your previous decisions but not before he gets nearly killed and taken prisoner by Shroud/Red Ring. Z-team will come and save him.

>>725479071
Bring it Shroud.

>>725482102
I bet Shroud is Mecha-Man's dad and that Mecha-Man does actually have some kind of super power. Super duper courage and temporary invulnerability or some shit.

>>725481214
doesn't nuclear power plants use water in their processes or something? would be funny if toxic gets raped by his own powers if he's submerged or at least wet.
>>725481720
phenomaman counterpart would be him doing the superman vs darkseid fight where he reveals he's actually insanely fucking op and was just holding back for the safety of humans

>>725482585
Granddad, not dad. Granddad killed his son, Robert's father.

>>725481017

I genuinely don't know what you're talking about.

The eventual "twist" is obvious, but that's fine for a story like this.
It's actually refreshing for the Mystery Man to be a normal guy in a flashback, it means the actual intrigue comes from how he became what he is now.

>>725482681
>doesn't nuclear power plants use water in their processes or something?
Almost all power plants boil down to boiling water.

I don’t see why the astral pulse matters. It seems irrelevant.

Why do you guys think that Shroud isn't the guy that they said he was? Is there something alluding that this current Shroud is an imposter?

>>725482049
>Shroud's daugther theory.
I dunno about this one, I feel like Shroud would have bring his daughter to the parties and if she's around the same age as Robert, they would have met or heard about each other.
>Invisigal Roomate theory
While it can be true, I think she could've started to live with her after she joined the SDN, so Mandy really has no idea of Visi's true past, she just saw the good in her, and was in a needed place, so she offered taking her home.
>BB not being jealous over picking Visi
Mandy wants to settle down with someone who sees her for her true self, you don't get that unless you go on a date with her, and that locks you out of the scene where you dance with Visi. Also the main point of that scene is not just romantic jealousy, Visi also feels jealous over not being seen as a hero or taken seriously. It's why the confrontation after has this as a main point, and thus the dance scene with Visi shows you Chase, who's in disapproval of you putting your trust on someone who has been nothing but trouble.

>>725482793
robert accepted the job so the SND can help him restore his mechasuit, but that wont happen unless they get the astral pulse back

>>725482793
It's an incredibly dense, stable (if used correctly), power source.

>>725482681
>"I live in a world made of cardboard" speech from P-man
kino

>>725482793
It's what powers the mecha. Even ignoring that its a super battery and if anyone can figure out how what makes it tick they could use it to power doomsday devices and shit

>You okay Rob? You have been asleep for a while now
>What? Invisigal going alone? Chase dying? Man that fight really messed you up
>Here are the tacos you ordered by the way

>>725482793
It's literally the arc reactor from Iron Man 1, except Tony Stark can't make more of it. It's a mcguffin that everyone wants, because it's a super power source for mechs, robots and death lasers, without which they'll not work.

>>725482830
because he wears a mask and had literally zero voice lines up to this point. but obviously the real reason for that is that mercer is extremely expensive to work with.

>>725482793
It's the only power source that can power Robert's suit that doesn't involve always keeping it hooked up to its own power plant.

>>725482830
They think "Shroud" is not Shroud because the guy has been wearing a mask the entire time and hasn't said a thing during the first 6 episodes.

>>725482349
calm your tits Todd Phillips
>>725482793
you need it if you want the man to be mecha again
>>725482830
decades of exposure to subversive media

>>725482793

It defines Mecha Man itself.

Seems like an obvious thematic element in a story like this.

>>725482793
It's a near infinite power supply that doesn't need fuel and it fits in your fucking palm. It also powers your mech. It's kinda fucking important

If Shroud wants to end MM he could just kill Rob. Guy lives alone in an apartment. It would be trivial.

>>725481031
We'll need a new big bad villain. We're doing Robert and Invisigirl's this time with Shroud. Season 2 would need to have a villain tied to another character.

The ones with the most space for that would be Golem (whoever created him is now creating more golems for crime) or Mal (go full Teen Titans Raven with it, find out she's a demon princess, and her dad is looking to take over)

>>725482959
>but obviously the real reason for that is that mercer is extremely expensive to work with.
Is he REALLY more epensive than his CR buddies Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham? Who is also his boss?

>>725483139
Maybe he would prefer to not have to kill his former friend's only son unless he absolutely had to.

>>725483139
It's strange because even in the press conference at the start they ask why Shroud hasn't just killed him whilst he was stuck in hospital, and Robert just shrugs it off that it's because he's not important.
And from the comic, Shroud must clearly know who Mecha Man III is likely going to be so it's not even a secret identity deal.

>>725483139
he probably wants to publicly humiliate Robert as a part of his war on heroes
or alternatively he's trying to recruit Robert?

>>725482847
>will say corporate sh*t in bed
"Robert, we need to have a merger."

"I'm saying we need to deeply align our goals."

Mandy, what the fuck are you talking about?

>>725483139
>killing him
his punishment must be more severe

>>725482959
Can someone explain why Critical Role is so successful? I know they helped fund Dispatch and is tied to Mercer being known, but is it an actually phenomenal series?
I don't really play DnD (am more into 40k TTRPGs if I do them), so are they that iconic? if so what made them so successful?

>>725483139
Shroud really wants that Astral Pulse, and since he couldn't find it, he was probably hoping Robert would either make another, had a spare hidden somewhere, or could find an alternate.

>Visi getting cut in Episode 7 with lot of screentime
>Visi saves a day in Episode 8 cause that's how writting work.

Visibros are in for a feast I guess...

I promised myself that I will not care about fictional characters because I'm a grown ass man who should pursue real-life goals, but Dispatch reawakened my inner Gosling once again. That fucking party scene, I came home drunk last night and drank my last beer while watching it on loop and fell asleep at my desk.

I feel like there should be too much left in the story for 2 episodes to be able to cover

>>725483456
basically being in the spotlight for being the single only hight value production media on DnD in english

>>725483175
she's only half demon, unless her human parent was the consort of hell's ruler I think her parents would just be a comical thing where an even scarier 100% demon fell for a saxton hale knockoff. hell maybe it'd be a funny mirror of robert's situation where some random dude managed to woo a baddie and the father looks just like our guy.

Man this game really hit me hard. Cant wait for the next chapters.
Is there anything else like it? I like the minigame, the characters, the art and sound direction. The setting, specially. Call me reddit but I'm a sucker for superhero shit

>>725483542
It really depends how much dispatching there is in episode 8

>>725483542
Anon, clearly Episodes 7 and 8 will be substantially longer than previous episodes.
Have you never watched TV programming?

>>725483528
>Visibros are in for a feast I guess...

>>725483456
it's somewhat dumbed down DND with a mostly scripted storyline where the players fail upwards even when they fuck up real bad.

>>725482681
Or it unironically turns into Mr frog vs the mma fighters from smiling friends.
If you can tank the fucking sun, there is not much on earth that wont break itself against your body trying to do harm

why are there actual homos itt when the game has given them nothing
of all the people here they are the most schizophrenic

>>725483456
DnD became popular during COVID, but most people don't actually want to play DnD, or simply can't because life happens.
So a podcast of DnD during the COVID times was the perfect timing, and it spiraled upwards rapidly.
A lot of podcasts like that happened and became a thing, but Critical Role became the de-facto out of a combination of luck, social media presence, sponsorships, longevity, and the almighty algorithm.

>>725483530
Same, anon. Same.

>>725483528
Unlike Blazer, she can die if you don't choose her. What's there to be happy about if the plot literally satisfies the haters?

This game's subreddit is legit the most cancerous gaming community I've witnessed in a while.
Invisi simps cannot for the life of them understand that a normal, level-headed person will realize she is a fucking liability and want to make her accountable for all the bullshit she does.
Some of them are literally ranting because z-team is mad at her on the new preview. My fucking sides

What the fuck they have a golden goose in their hands and will finish this to go make D&D slop?
Humanity retardation has no bounds.

>>725483456
Because a) all of them are veteran voice actors that you most likely know from somewhere, b) they were among the first to go with this tabletop D&D actual play and c) at least at first, the campaign they had going was really fun to follow - because you know, a well told D&D campaign with charismatic voice actors is always fun to watch.
They went to much in the direction of pleasing the audience for C2 and C3 and that's where my enjoyment with the series dropped significantly, but at that point they were a streaming juggernaut. And now they have a succesful TV show on Amazon that keeps getting renewed.

>>725476268
his performance was fine, the character they had him play was just completely retarded to the point it was impossible to salvage.

You realize on of the largest games of the last decade (BG3) is based on DnD, right?
Of course there has been a resurgence of interest in it.

>>725484132
It's part of their collaboration. Without Critical Role, no Dispatch in the first place.
It seems like Dispatch was originally going to be one-off thing until it became successful.

"Mr. Robertson, I come from a long line of 5/10 yet oddly charming normal men. generation after generation we've married amazonians, aliens, demon women. it would be an honor to have you as part of the family, mate"

>>725483650
Look up any game from the former Telltale studio. The studio shut down 10 years ago, and some of the staff formed Adhoc to make Dispatch.

>The Walking Dead
>Wolves Among Us

...but if you like that kind of game, look up ports of "Heavy Rain" or "Detroit: Become Human".

It's not "waifu-porn" like Dispatch, but those games have great storytelling.

>>725481321
>for some fucking reason
They literally believe whatever the TV tells them.

>>725481575
Good. You opened this message. This isn't actually Super Dispatch Network. They're busy tending to what's left of their city.

So you survived our fight in the warhouse. You're not as weak as I thought. But never forget that your best wasn't good enough to stop me. Now an entire city is dying because you lacked the strength to win. The legend of Mecha Man needs to be re-written. I hope I'm there for the last chapter. It ends with your death.

>>725481017
What they should've done instead was have the comic books unlocks tied to performance in the dispatch minigames.

>>725474551
That's not how that works.

>>725475169
>Robert was right. I do need better friends.

>>725481017
I'm not defending the people theorizing who Shroud is because from what I've seen most of them thinks it's Blonde Blazer, but you're acting like a high profile criminal couldn't just get a fall guy to go to jail for him. Especially since it happened in Breaking Bad

>>725482585
He's not. We already knew who Shroud is, it was revealed in Episode 1 and the comics.

>>725474551
>If you kill Shroud, he wins

>>725486373
Except the "fall guy" ... was another super hero, the Shroud, with a seething inferiority complex towards Robert II. And when that guy gets out of prison? The Shroud returns and starts his own super gang with black jack and hookers. But no, you're right, the comics and Episode 1 were complete red herrings in this series which has otherwise played everything completely straight.
