>>1419123 I'm kinda interested, although I haven't looked deeply into the game.

>>1419123 >he e-celeb voice cast seemed like a terrible idea though. Crazy how the dev team is purposefully adding people who have a high chance of being outed as pedophiles in the next 10 years. Genuinely rolling the dice on that one...

>>1419123 I played it. It's weird I just randomly thought of it yesterday and discovered there was a demo. As someone who did kind of like Telltale back in the day I was interested. If it captures the tone of Tales From the Borderlands I figure it could be a good time. I liked it to a degree. It's pretty obvious the story parts are just webms. There's no actual rendering of characters going on nor will there ever be a section where you can walk people around (which even Telltale games had). This is probably how the game has such a tiny file size. It's just a bunch of movie files, voice clips and the dispatch interface. This does make dialogue choices feel a bit more awkward than old Telltale. Many times I felt the timer was too fast for me to process the choices and also pay attention to what the characters were still saying and I definitely think that's down to this just being video files. They want the animation to stay fluid and cinematic but the old system allowed for some lingering pauses that give you a bit more time to consider options. Maybe later ones will feel less awkward. The game itself seems kind of fun. Kind of a super hero version of This is the Police but with more established characters and story. I found it weird there were actual stat and level up mechanics and I kind of wonder if this will factor into the story at all or if it will just be window dressing. The demo stops right before you're about to get a story dispatch and I feel like that was a mistake. They probably should have shown at least one of those to get a more complete feeling of the game flow. Overall I'll probably pirate it. I wasn't too annoyed by anything in yet. Yeah, Chase says "fuck" too much but I like Jeffrey Wright as an actor and his delivery is good. The youtubers are playing the comic relief characters who seem to have the overall least to do with the plot, so whatever. There wasn't too much current year stuff just one or two things. Most of the women seem attractive with the traditional blond hero girl seemingly being the main love interest going by the trailer. The demo, I feel, probably didn't give as clear a picture of the game as it should have but for all we know it'll be like five hours long so I guess we'll see. I'll pirate it when it comes out and stop playing if it annoys me too many times.

>>1419123 >nigger Nah.

>>1437134 Just about to post this

>>1419123 Mechanically it sounds vaguely like the Superhero League of Hoboken. In Hoboken, you still play the superheroes - but it's more of an Adventure Game with some RPG elements tagged on. You control an entire team of superheroes and as situations arise you have to pick the best member to solve it. So instead of items to use to solve puzzles, you have seemingly useless "Mystery Men"-like powers to use in novel ways. So who you pick to be part of your team at any given time will determine what missions you'll be able to progress through.

So this is definitely getting pushed back to 2026 right? We are in September and there is still no release date.

>>1419123 I remember being strongly put off by the trailer and then promptly forgot about this until now. Concept is decent but the writing is gonna be shit, so why bother? >>1439238 What a lovable face this man has. Wish my aryan genes were that strong.

>>1437134 >>1439104 white fragility be real

Episode 1 is releasing October 22.

Mecha-man... Who he really is!?

>>1758880 Correction, it looks like episodes 1 and 2 are releasing on October 22. Then 2 episode will release weekly after that.

>>1759152 Shit game made by shit people with people made out of shit in it releases in a weekly format. These turbo retards could have just done a shit netflix series that no one would have watched instead and saved everyone some headaches.

>>1419123 Tried the demo, it was gay as fuck and most the characters are irritating.

>>1718552 dis nigga be like aight imma be like he be like uh uh he be like uh uh shiiiieeeet dis nigga be real fo'real frfr Hang yourself from the nearest tree.

>look at it on steam because im a sucker for these games >nudity I wonder who

>>1419460 I'm not surprised, I know that SEGA and Square Enix are already hiring ecelebs to replace proper VAs.

>>1873047 They hired some Korean-Venezuelan guy for one of the Yakuza games and he's embarrassingly terrible. For the songs, they had to pitch correct his voice so much he sounds like Daft Punk at points.

>>1873244 I know about Yong Yea. SEGA of America specifically casted him because of his YouTube following. Here's a good video going over the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y6ptYx4xLU

>>1419123 After seeing how all telltale games end, Im not willing to suffer through another of choices not mattering I'd pay for the full game but not another episodic bullshit of episodes of differing quality written by different writers ending with a schizophrenic tone. I'm tired of mood whiplash for these things. Also once the full game is out I can sift through the reviews and see if the episodic story manages to stand together otherwise ima just sit on the sidelines and wait

>>1873376 >Im not willing to suffer through another of choices not mattering One of the few games I know of where your actions drastically affect the story is Detroit: Become Human, oddly enough. Another is Alpha Protocol. Both extremely flawed games.

>>1873423 But fun and less flawed than tell tale episodic stories

>>1419123 >nigger dropped

>>1873491 You're not in the game tho

I watched Archcast stream the game. It was a lot better than I expected, but still has plenty of things keeping me skeptical about it. Also generally has the vibe that it'd make a better tv series than game.

>>1876142 This really. Alot of the story department and cinematic actually worked in western animation. One guy worked on Bojack for example. I think they wanted to do a show but couldn't get the funding for it so made it a game instead.

>>1876154 >>1876142 I feel its too reliant on the cast rather than the narrative. Also the Blond Slut is a slut trying to cheat on her boyfriend.

>>1876167 Yeah, it's hard to tell what the story's message is going to be. The main character seems oddly competent for a white male in this kind of game, which is a bit refreshing even if they still have emasculating components. It's a private superhero company, but they have a realistic balance of people there doing good work and caring about the job with the ugly side that comes from for profit heroics. It's just really hard to judge so far. Blond slut is a slut, but that does make her entertaining to watch, even if the main character should not touch her with a 10ft pole. Getting princess carried at the end despite being able to fly herself made me laugh. Big things I'm looking out for going forward is that all the villains on the team need to get fleshed out well, and the company can't get revealed to be pure evil, it needs to stay in that grey area. Also should obviously focus on the super heroing over any romance plot, especially if it's with the blond slut instead invisibitch. I can't fix her but I can dream.

>>1876196 I would have liked if he seethed more about the villains. When I drop that guy off the ledge, let him die. I want to feel the MCs anger at those that killed his father, and I want to feel how this one goal is out of his reach. If they mde him hunger for revenge I think the main story would be more gripping. But overall, this game isnt as offensive as I thought it was going to be. I'm pleasantly surprised.

>>1876199 I don't need him to be the punisher to feel like his revenge quest is valuable. Still, if he had killed the guy, maybe he wouldn't have lost the fight. Still, I don't think the story is as much about revenge as it is about a man who lost everything trying to do the right thing. I actually would like it best if the company fails to restore the suit since I think that fits the theme better.

Can you fuck the demon musclegirl?

>>1876214 Im just thinking of a way to make the main narrative more engaging, it doesnt need to be the punisher 2.0. I was just giving an idea.

The game only came out yesterday and the endings are already leaking on youtube.

>>1876288 Where?

>>1876289 Youtube, the spoilers arent massive ones tbh https://www.youtube.com/@DispatchLeaks

>>1876336 That's extremely limited in what it shows but it looks like maybe you CAN fix Invisigirl and that's what denotes good and bad endings.

Finished episode 3 and 4. Fixing Invisigal seems to be the point. I picked spending time with her over blazer. Overall 3 and 4 felt better though I'm not sure I'm completely sold yet.

>>1419123 I admittedly purposefully overlooked this game since I saw "Critical Role" and its Telltale-wannabe aesthetic in the trailer and assumed it was gonna be hella gay. >>1873370 >ex Blizzard I swear, the rats fleeing that sinking ship are worse than when it was around - infesting multiple companies to turn them into equal shit rather than just sticking to one.

>>1876223 Seconding this, I want that experience but in a game slightly less gay than Baldur's Gate 3.

>>1718552 >>1833886 Lol all it took was not inflecting the copula to send the snow nigger chimping.

>>1419123 Saw a friend playing two first eps. Very strong AMERICAN HUMOUR. Wish the game let you focus on all heroes and their shit instead of focusing on invisible seamonkey and fake blondie.

Im tryna fuck the invisibitch!

>>1898935 If it wasn't a movie game, they could have done that and had a route for every character.

>>1898935 >Very strong AMERICAN HUMOUR Millenial humor. Or, zoomer humor maybe? Lame safe-edgy internet maymay humor at any rate.

>>1899284 How much control does she have over her invisibility powers? Can she make select parts of her invisible? So like, if you're fucking her, can she turn everything invisible except for her skeleton? That'd be pretty spooky.

>>1899907 >have a kid >kids only visible parts are the skeleton by default due to saved settings
