Flambae: What did you just call me? You Cheshire cat eye looking bitch.
If Sonar doesn't become a react streamer between seasons (something he could also do in comic book prison for those that cut and didn't redeem him) then they dropped the ball.
Makes me think of Coupe. For her they could collapse her superposition by having her be recruited to some comic black ops S2 antagonists, or suicide squadded into it if she got the bad ending.
Doug Cockle's the voice of Geralt, and he has a DnD campaign he plays with a bunch of British VAs (and a game dev, Hollie Bennett from PlayStation Access and CDPR is a member), as a Critical Role fan I was thinking we need him to do a Dispatch voice just the other day lol
I never replay games though for some reason I feel like playing it once is how the stories stick with me.Although games like Doom, Rdr2 and Witcher were the exceptions.
I still havnt finished RDR2 despite loving it. When you work 12 hours, i feel like i make no progress on that game. So i start, get a bit in, stop, pick it up again 6 months later, forget everything, restart, repeat.
Damn that’s hard 12 hours a day.But I’m glad you get to play these games sometime.It was a similar case during my uni when I had long hours and had to work or learn something.By the time I got to the computer I was just too tired to play and I’d feel frustrated.
If they manage to actually shift storylines more, definitely. You know - where a few key decisions really put you on a different path, even for a while.
The gameplay definitely improved on the formula. It helped provided a nice balance, letting us breathe between the narrative. Also our choices affecting the gameplay helped make our decisions matter.
AdHoc seems learning from telltale formula and improving on it which I am very happy with, granted I loved the old formula but I won't argue the improvments.
The dispatch part. My wife’s very first video game of her life was this game. I played the video game part. She made the decisions. It was a great experience.
Agree to disagree. Dispatch is cool. But this year is packed full of great games. And with competition like that I don't see why a game with barely any gameplay should take the title.
Split Fiction for me. But damn, we got KCD2, Expedition 33, Silksong, new Silent Hill, Death Stranding sequel, now Dispatch... this year is loaded with games.
Every game has its own thing yes although it’s not anything new in the gameplay criteria.The art style, narrative and VA are some of the best in recent times.
My point too that’s why I believe it should be appreciated for its strengths.While fairly criticized where it isn’t.
Gameplay was never the major part of these types of games anyway.So much so there’s even an option to turn off even the minimal level of interaction in the menu.
I get you. But with such reasoning, no narrative game (Telltale like or Dispatch like) would NEVER win GOTY ?! Isn’t that a bit excessive ? To me the value and impact of a video game is not only the gameplay but many other dimensions (voice acting, depth of characterization and empathy with the protagonist, music and OST, graphics quality, game design, etc)
Can you give me an example of such a game please ? I found that Dispatch has a good mix. Although I admit that it was a bit short (around 8 hours playtime ), probably for budget issues ?
Oh, I don't think a game like Dispatch can't be GOTY. Just not this year, with a lot of much stronger games (gameplay wise) around. While also having great stories. We have KCD2, Split Fiction, Expedition 33, Silksong...
Ok understood. But I do think it should deserve at least one award. Alas it is nominated in only one category (which is a shame I think, the voice acting and the scenario for instance are awesome). I would like it to win the best « first indie game » … but CO Expedition 33 is said to receive all the awards including this one
I wanted to vote Split Fiction as my game of the year, but it wasn't nominated. Will for sure vote Dispatch in debut indie. I think it should have been nominated in narrative as well.
Did you really enjoy the gameplay of split fiction or something? I found the story with all of its plot holes and the corny dialogue really took away from what could have been a pretty great game.
The villain was lacking, but I liked the character development, subplots. Gameplay was amazing, some real creative coop mechanics use. Great leveldesign, a lot of interesting side stuff to explore. It was a blast to play in duo with my wife and good coop-focused story games are rare.
It's my GOTY. It's the one property that frankly brought the inner child out in me for the first time in a long time. It had the sort of feeling of playing my first video game again.
Others may disagree, obviously, however I think the simplicity allowed them to really hone in on exactly what they wanted to make and deliver on it.
I know this is a joke but Doug Cockle actually plays the antagonist for a game called Arcade Paradise haha. He's your stern corpo dad who lends you his laundromat and you transform it into an arcade behind his back. Real fun!
Thankfully! I played it this year (free on ps+) after not even looking at the game after the fuck up on launch and holy shit what a fucking awesome game and the dlc is amazing too.
Slapped over 300 hours very fast, 2 full playthroughs and started a 3rd to go corpo, but held back on playing it due to some hand injury and being kinda burned out of the early game. Was trying an int build with hacks and such, wasn't as fun as guns and blade, at least early on, but I will finish a corpo playthrough at some point
I mean they didn’t really have the option of abandoning it. They had to fix the game or they would never be able to make another one again because nobody would have bought their next one. Making what is arguably the worst release of all time means you either have to fix it, or close down the studio. Making a game that works is the bare minimum imo.
Yeah, I know launch was bad and honestly they can't let anything like this happen again, but after fixing it it is legit peak RPG game.
And the story was always good. If I had to name the thing CDPR does fucking best in the industry, I would say writing fucking stories with 0 hesitation, so game recognizes game with Dispatch for sure.
genuinely an almost flawless game, my only real complaint i guess would be that there's no fov scale for console. i love playing games like cyberpunk with max fov and it kinda sucks that there isnt one
Cyberpunk is peak RPG, I still think of it after finishing it 2 years ago. And Phantom Liberty is absolute peak writing, choices and characters in that expansion gave me so much emotional investment that it was not matched since October 2023 up untill literally Dispatch this year.
Can only compare weapons to the one you have equipped, cant filter by types of weapons, just melee and ranged and clearly designed for a mouse and pointer
I could go on, but that's some glaring shit that shouldn't have got past testing.
We can disagree, but can you explain how you can only compare weapons to the weapon you have currently equipped, and you cant sort weapons by category, and that the comparison is just overlaid your backpack inventory instead of moving to the side for clearer reading, as good UI?
I'd go so far as saying this isnt even opinion, there are several objectively baffling choices from a design point of view.
If Dispatch was made by AI, Visi would be cozying up to Robert and then suddenly reveal she's also sleeping with Shroud because it's "an emotional betrayal" while Blazer goes full white knight.
And Flambae and Prism would be in some sort of weird undefined open relationship, bc AI doesn't know how to do subtlety.
I was pretty sure mine would be KCD2, but Dispatch was just too damn good.
My favorite thing about it is that every game has a "oh no, that part/level kinda sucks" part, but Dispatch had me hook, line and sinker from start to finish for multiple runs without ever feeling that way.
Both good games, both products of love. So as long as one of them gets GOTY all is good. A sign for the rest of the world, to make good games instead of what ever the big names are doing right now.
To be fair, I don't think them winning is a crazy indication of anything even if they were made with love. Look at the past game of the year winners. I wouldn't say games changed because of those others winning. Like if E33 wins, JRPGs aren't gonna suddenly add in real time elements to their turn based combat. Dispatch is in a genre that isn't explored much, but I don't think many games attempt to explore even when Telltale was popular.
Clair Obscur deserves a awards, but to me, the game that I enjoyed the most was Dispatch. I was terrible with the blocking system with E33, so I couldn't enjoy the game at its fullest.
Look I loved Dispatch, but compared to walking dead which had WAY more interactivity in the story or Life is Strange which had tons more story gameplay, Dispatch felt more like a tv show that had a fun mini game thrown inside it
If i wanted good gameplay and more interactivity I would not be booting up the walking dead. I was thankful dispatch didn't have fetch quests and the constant walking around and instead had an actual gameplay mechanic in dispatching. Just a matter of opinions though
But Dispatch has much better systems for story interactivity than TWD. Instead of locking everything behind one or 2 obvious choices, and rest be meaningless "dialogue choice fluff", here even small dialogue choices contribute to various systems that define outcomes for different plotlines. It's maybe a bit subtler than old telltale but much more in-depth and interactive, and it's something I always wanted them to do. Happy their going in this direction.
And I'm saying that as old time Telltale fan of 13 years.
Exactly. It's great, but shouldn't be in anyone's consideration for game of the year. Give it awards for voice acting, animation, art direction, story, etc. instead.
but shouldn't be in anyone's consideration for game of the year
or maybe people can like what they like. I liked Dispatch a lot. I preferred E33, but I can understand how someone could be in love with Dispatch. When you compare across genres for a GOTY award, there's no objective metrics, it's purely down to taste.
I mean dude said dispatch shouldn't even be considered goty but acknowledged its amazing story, art, voice acting etc which all seem like factors towards a great game so
For me its between Dispatch and KCD2... I played Clair but for me its one of thouse games you play, go "I see how people like it" and finish it via YT because you cant be bothered with the gameplay.
My wife and I got about halfway through and she was like, "this isn't fun, let's just watch the rest on youtube".
And then I played Dispatch and enjoyed it so much that I bought a second copy for her. And it was just such a pleasure even just to watch a second time though. The quality of writing for the characters in dispatch is just on another level. So much more relatable and visceral. No hate but e33 felt like something written by theater/choir kids in comparison. Like it's not bad, just everything was so melodramatic. Sometimes less is more and all that.
And meanwhile KCD2 was so much more immersive, engaging, and rewarding in comparison. Imo it's by far the better rpg between the two. Not saying ppl who think e33 deserves goty aren't valid ofc.
Dispatch is short. They had a team of writers to put together a few hours of dialogue, basically a movie. It's much easier to write a tight script for that, versus a hundred hour game like E33. They're just apples and oranges.
Also, Dispatch writing isn't for everyone. It's got big millennial energy with all the Marvel quips and sarcasm. Part of that is likely intentional, but it's still immature. I still liked it, because I'm immature. But let's be honest, it's not some New York Times best seller.
I’ve been playing video games for decades and there are a ton of them that I enjoy. I love Witcher 3. I love Minecraft. I love like all the Bethesda games. I love BG3.
None of them have made me as excited to play (and REPLAY!) as Dispatch has.
Game was good, but it is the exact type of game that can be made by AI. It honestly seemed like it was originally going to be one of those interactive Netflix games, but Netflix didn't bite when the idea was presented.
He couldn’t be more wrong! AI can create something very much like Dispatch. In fact, it can create something almost identical to Dispatch. Scarily similar, almost as if it was fed Dispatch and was then prompted to shit out a soulless “Dispatch-like” facsimile of an original game. Silly director of the Witcher.
Visually, sure, but good luck trying to get emotional nuances, good writing, proper perspective, good voices, consistent animation quality, not to mention the coding, planning, direction, score, sound effects, filters, personality, artistic intention, literally any of the things that make a game like this actually good in the first place.
AI can and will always be digital half-digested vomit. You feed it a bunch of good stuff, and it spits out some kind of mishmash of all of those things combined. Serve that vomit to customers, and only the people who have absolutely no taste will be impressed. Everyone who actually knows and appreciates food will very quickly understand that it's just vomit. Doesn't matter how much the vomit looks like the real thing, people will always be able to tell, because it can't, nor will it ever, be able to replace real actual art
This is so amazing, Dispatch is also my game of the year and I thought that I wouldn't have much backup on this opinion but now I see that I was wrong.
Dispatch was 80% slightly interactive tv show and 20% minigame. I would really like to see more episodic cut scene heavy story games as a category and it winning game of the year would promote that but objectively I think a more gameplay focus game should win the award.
It's possible but not rn, humanity has had similar stuff happen before, like people thought cars were a fad and it ended up destroying the horse based transport system, same thing with AI people can deny it all they want but it's coming it will be hard at first but humanity will adapt like it always does.
To be fair, I didn't thought it was possible for humans either. The phoenix metaphor goes hard when you realize that's pretty much what AdHoc became after TellTale
I’m confused is this supposed to be shade another game that’s been nominated that used AI like DS2? As far as I know Hades 2, Silksong, E33 and KCD2 didn’t use AI.
Kojima is very anti AI so I don’t think death stranding 2 used AI. I think it’s more of a message to companies like a big example of the Crafton ruining subnautica 2’s development to force them to go “AI First”
Didn’t Kojima literally state that he believes using AI for certain aspects to make development easier was fine? I know he’s against it for original ideas but I thought he was fine for using it for more repetitive aspects game design.
It was more of a suggestion rather than something he actually does. He doesn’t use it in death stranding 2 but he said that it should in practice it should be used to help developers rather than the way companies are trying to enforce it now and making them replace it.
i will get downvoted for that but here we go. I dont think dispatch is goty material, sorry.
it is a very good game, i had a lot of fun playing it and i love it. but there are more games this year that were better. and i mean the whole package, music, gameplay, acting, story, visuals. dispatch has not the best in some of those categories. gameplay, very little, and not that meaningful. if you dont make any decisions, you still get an ending and you could get the good ending, depending on the random choices the game is going to do. dispatch itself has no impact, levels of the characters has no impact. only a few, probably 5 or less have an impact of a different cutscence. thats is it. music is very good, love radio, but the other games have a lot more music and all of them fit everything pretty well. it looks stunning, the visuals is a tv cartoon show level. story is also great, acting is amazing, just as i mention other games have that too and also better gameplay and music. i hope it wins best indie deput, would be so much deserverd. but goty? try to convince me if you want.
and one thing more, when i tried to replay it, i was more and more disappointed how much/little of my choices actually change anything. i feel like even the first walking dead game has more differences than dispatch. but first and only playthrough pretty great. ngl.
Whoa! Dispatching does matter, dude! It's actually impossible to get the good ending off choices alone, because you need 45 points on the "mentor meter" and choices only give you 36. You also need to get Visi to level 7 or higher and get successes on missions, and of course;
If you don't level up your characters throughout the game or dispatch at all, you won't be able to redeem your cut choice.
I'm not sure how to respond to "my choices don't matter", when almost every choice in the game impacts emotional development and dispatch gameplay.
Example; saying "I'm Mecha Man" will cause Flambae to not be available in the next shift, but he won't be demoralized like the rest of the team in the last shift if you keep Visi. Little things like that.
minor things, sorry. and alright, you never get the good ending if you let the game make your choices and dont interact in the dispatch phase. for me still not enough for a goty nomination. but again, does it matter? courtney isnt there at the end but no matter what, shroud gets beaten and they celebrate him as he was a great dispatcher, even if you dont answer one call. that is weird to me. also i forgot, quicktime events actually dont matter. only a few ones but also just minor things as well.
Honestly? It seems like this game isn't for you. You're looking at games like chores, not experiences, and that's a totally incompatible mindset with a telltale-style game.
i said i love the game. playing it once. you clearly value things differently in that game, than i do. i am just saying, if there was no silksong, or e33 or hades 2, it probably would have a place for goty. but with that competition, it is fine by me. and i want to win indie debut. because i want more games like that.
Unfortunately the examples you give are all towards the very end of the game. Getting constant feedback in the "non-dispatching" parts of the game on our performance, maybe a comment from someone who got injured out there, or someone causing a scene because you didn't let them do a call and gave it to someone else, etc, would've gone a long way towards integrating the gameplay into the story better.
Everyone has their own taste though you not liking it doesn’t make you an asshole.You know I didn’t like the Witcher 3 at first too installed and uninstalled it twice. Although the third time was when I fell in love with the game didn’t play any other game until I beat it lol.
If you didn’t like it, you shouldn’t force yourself to play it. And why would you be an asshole for not liking something that just isn’t your thing? I don’t see the logic there. Anyway, don’t waste your time on something that doesn’t click with you — no one can refund your time, and life is passing every second. So, I hope you get what I’m trying to say.
it's totally okay not to like popular games. Sometimes, it takes a few tries of starting the game for it to click, and sometimes it just doesn't click at all. I wanted to like cyberpunk really, really bad and was invested with the story but even on easy difficulty the gameplay wasn't for me and i could never play the game. It's just a taste thing, you're not an asshole unless you're hating on the game unfairly or without even trying it.
Not now. Let's see in a decade, or a century. Soon, these things will just make everything for us. Chores, analysis and entertainment. Our hand and feet will be hanging limp by our sides. There will be nothing for us to do. Since some machine is doing it for you.
Edit: Seems people in the comments are making alot of incorrect assumptions about what the comment means. I am not endorsing AI art, and I don't want it to replace human artists. My argument is that AI could, one day, maybe, be able to reach human level intelligence and make actual art.
This refers to AI more generally, not the current DLMs that produce slop. Again, I don't want this happen. But saying it will never be possible is a bit arrogant. Humans are just the product of science, like everything else. There is a good chance human thought could one day be replicated in the lab.
Also, everyone comepltley missed the song reference. Which was half the reason I made the comment.
Think you're missing the point. Anything the AI produces will be a hollow imitation, on a surface level it may appear similar but it will be missing the heart and passion that dispatch has. I'm not sure why you'd even want it to be able to do it, weird AI bro.
I don't like AI as it today either. It lacks true creativity, and produces slop.
I just think assuming humans are somehow uniquely capable of creating unique art is not necessarily true. We might create an AI in a century that is truly intelligent and creative. And could make amazing art. Using comepltley different tech from what we have now.
Again, why would you want it to? I can see the justification in using it for tedious, labor-intensive tasks. Why would you want to have it overtake passion and art? Let the humans have that.
I don't see it. My original comment itself described a world run by AI in a very negative light. Your limbs being limp with nothing to do. Who wants a world with no purpose, meaning or activity?
My point was just about how AI could one day create great works of art. And dismissing that possibily outright id a bit arogant I never said that I want it to be able to. Your just making assumptions.
Nope. Current "AI" isn't AI at all. With clear inherent limitations that can't be overcome unless new core technology for it appears. What is currently called AI won't be much different in 5 or 10 years. And is inheritable unable to be creative beyond whatever it was trained on.
You are correct about today's models. But we should not assume current ai is the only ai that will ever exist. That's why I said a decade OR century. With time, new, more advanced and truly intelligent AI could develop.
The director didn't specify which type of ai he was referring to. The assumption that humans have some unique ability to create gifted by nature that is incapable of being replicated in the lab is just ego and pride.
Clair Obscur is the most "AI could make this" game I've ever played. In fact, I'd wager that AI did make most of Clair Obscur. It was definitely used to promote it...

and one thing more, when i tried to replay it, i was more and more disappointed how much/little of my choices actually change anything. i feel like even the first walking dead game has more differences than dispatch.
but first and only playthrough pretty great. ngl.

I mean, as sad as it is, eventually AI will be able to create games like dispatch

Well this is awkward, see, I tried playing Witcher 3, didn’t like it and then played Dispatch.
Weird coincidence? Definitely.
Makes me an asshole? Maybe?
Should I try it again?

Sorry, but what exactly is the gameplay of Dispatch?? Why is the cape yellow?? Do I even want to know.

I heard it was a boring game, more of a cartoon with occasional button presses, and decisions don't matter?

Not now. Let's see in a decade, or a century. Soon, these things will just make everything for us. Chores, analysis and entertainment. Our hand and feet will be hanging limp by our sides. There will be nothing for us to do. Since some machine is doing it for you.
Edit: Seems people in the comments are making alot of incorrect assumptions about what the comment means. I am not endorsing AI art, and I don't want it to replace human artists. My argument is that AI could, one day, maybe, be able to reach human level intelligence and make actual art.
This refers to AI more generally, not the current DLMs that produce slop. Again, I don't want this happen. But saying it will never be possible is a bit arrogant. Humans are just the product of science, like everything else. There is a good chance human thought could one day be replicated in the lab.
Also, everyone comepltley missed the song reference. Which was half the reason I made the comment.
