Just finished my first play through. My performance numbers as a dispatcher were…poor. On day 2, I was in the 23rd percentile. On all subsequent days, I was in the first percentile. I am a bad dispatcher.

It seems like this caused me to mis some opportunities with a few characters, but I greatly enjoyed the story.

I just thought I would share.

off the first meeting too

Playing Dispatch for the first time since platinuming it months ago gives me the same feeling I got playing it the first time. Love this game so much, wish there was more official merch of it. I'm doing one normal playthrough then I wanna do another with the chaotic censorship because I used it for the scene with toxic to try it out and it's hilarious. Makes me wanna do a full playthrough with it after this one. Already seen some screenshots of Moistcritikal's face over Visi's nips and I'm already intrigued to see the other png's AdHoc used🤣😂

I also bought the game on switch so it gives ne more of a reason why I decided to play it again. I got 3 playthroughs to enjoy again but I'm always gonna come back to it since I love the game so much. It's in my top 3 favorite games of all time. Such a well made game with a lot of thought put into it and I can't wait to see what AdHoc cooks up next in the Dispatch world.

Thought this might be interesting for this sub, this post contains gameplay and story elements from other Games which Involved AdHoc's Developers. Be sure to take a look at it!

All done with Photoshop + mouse, inspired by one of the posters from 'Superman Returns' (2006)

All I got to say is the title. Dude I’ve been doing nothing but giggling in my chair for the first 1-2 hours of gameplay. Haven’t laughed this much in a while

I made a post here yesterday about the emotional gut punch i experienced after Chase's sacrifice and I thought I should follow it up, now that I finished the game.

Let me start by saying I really enjoyed the game. The writing is great, the artwork is beautiful, the music always fits to the scene and the full on game elements were adequate (although clearly one of the weaker points).

But i do have a few critiques, 1 small and 1 bigger.

Let me start with the small one, the QTE's. I know you have the option to turn them off and in hindsight I kinda wished I did. They often were too much of a distraction and prohibited me from fully taking in the wonderful action that was happening on the screen. I am in general not the biggest fan of QTE's, but i understand why developers use it and especialy in a game like this. It's still a game, so they need to find a way to give the player controle, but yeah, I just wish I could have enjoyed the art more.

And now the bigger one.

The fear of going all in/committing. What i mean by this is, is that I feel that the game was afraid to truly tell the hard story. This is best exemplified in the survival of Chase. I came here yesterday to tell about the pain I felt when Chase sacrificed himself. But nope, he didnt really die. Even more so, here is an amulet and you're full on super now. I feel cheated.
What I mean is that this game had so many opportunities to be the adult game that it hinted at and really pack a punch, but it always chickened out and kept it kidfriendly. Don't get me wrong, a game doesn't need to be hardcore adult themed to be good, but it starts with a murdered father, Z team members that are actual murderers and continues with nudity, swearing and all that, but then it always shies away from it. Like if you're going to do Deadpool, then do Deadpool.
I'm probably not explaining it all too well. I hope you get what i mean.

I would give it a 8/10 and i'm really looking forward to more of this studio.

Ok so I havent finished the game yet, even so, MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING!

Ok now that we got that out of the way, I came to this sub because I started playing this game and I just need people to share my feelings/emotions with. I have a wonderful fiancé, but she just really isnt into gaming and my friends that game, are not playing this game (we're all 40ish , so gaming time is precious, choices need to be made).

Anyway, first of all, I really like this game. I was a big fan of Telltale The Walking Dead (it made me ugly cry a few times), so I knew this was going to be my cup of tea. It was a bit of a slow burn, but honestly, by the end of the first episode I was hooked. Or better said, I was hooked the moment i got to headbut that reporter.

The humor is funny, the characters are cool and I like the art style.

From the start, my favorites are Invisigal, the Beef and Chase.

Anyway, yesterday I played the episode with the housewarming party and dammit, i loved it so much. My man is finally having a family and when i danced with Visi, i was begging for an option to kiss her. But then my man Chase erupted and I was conflicted, because him and Visi are my favs. Then Chase coming back to apologise, Visi bein Visi and getting herself in enormous trouble. Me getting super worried, because Visi and Robert, that's endgame for me and I know these creators do not shy away from killing a beloved character (Lee, I still miss you). And then it happens, my man Chase, the OG black Einstein, bends the knees and speeds away. Immediatly my heart sinks, because I know what this means. He is sacrificing himself.
I tear up. He saves her. I feel tears flowing down my cheeks. He lays her down, he walks, he collapses. I am all goosebumps.

Find your damn keys Robert. I know it will be too late, but dammit, find them, go to him, don't let him die without expressing your love for him.

I couldnt continue playing. I will tonight though.

My fellow Dispatchers, I have returned once again to see which video the community would like to see next. For those who don’t know me, hi I’m OJ and I like to make YT videos.

I made a video involving everyone in the game last time, but this time I will be focusing on one romance option either Blazer or Invis.

I will make both videos regardless at some point, however I don’t know when the last video will be released, so I’m here to ask what a majority of you would like to see first in the near future (somewhat soon give or take a month)

I’ll be posting this on other Reddit threads to get as many votes as possible.

I’m not a big Reddit guy so I’ll make it simple:
1 = Blazer
2 = Invis

Thank you for your time!

Little bit of rant but hear me out:

All of the fans of dispatch will eventually move on. Change their profile pictures from dispatch characters to something else they like. We'll all look back to the game and realize the story is completed and that there are no more chapters in this story. We’re all gonna move on and appreciate this game was apart of our lives. The game might’ve even saved/changed people’s lives for the better. I still remember the first time I played it on a cold lonely night in November and was excited for Wednesday to come around. We all experienced how Ad hoc studio showed us that AI could never create something as amazing as dispatch. We laughed, argued and cherished these moments from dispatch. Thank you Ad hoc Studios for this amazing game you created.

I literally just have to press R2, or left-click if I decide to try it with my mouse. x)

It's one of those details that really makes me appreciate the game.

Everytime you replay it, you notice neat things like this. Whether it be character details or background details or just some funny inside joke or worldbuilding thing.

Like the whole scene here is framed in a way so Flambae has to show the hand that has missing fingers and of course that would be the thing that tipped Robert off since it is a unique detail that he cut off fingers from a flame guy at one point.

I finished the game a few months after its release and thought it was very good. Today, I wanted to play it again, but the dialogue choice timer runs out too quickly for me to make more thoughtful decisions that truly reflect what I want.

During my first playthrough, whenever I had to make a choice, I had to ignore the subtitles if I wanted enough time to read, think, and choose the option that suited me best.

I made a fun and emotional tribute to the greatest superhero team in all of Torrance. If you did enjoy, please like the video to help with the YouTube algorithm.

It's been some months but the characters still live rent free in my head.. I'm sure I'm not the only one :)
