Dispatch is Twilight for men. Robert is Bella, Blond Blazer is Edward, and Invisagirl is Jacob.

dispatch is just goon coded. sorry but it's true gooners are all over it. personally i liked the animation but the story was just meh.

There's definitely something there, they hid behind the "adult" themes and animation for sure though. If they can expand on the core mechanics and make the story actually branch a bit in the next one I think they'll have a decent format for episodic Telltale style games.

I started replying Wolf Among Us after I finished Dispatch and there's definitely some similar "edgy adult" writing in both.

It felt like 2000s "I'm not like other girls" "well I'm not like other boys" faux drama. The dispatching part was fun though

I do have a bit of hope that they'll improve as writers (or hire good ones or whatever) and their next game will absolutely kick ass. But yeah, Dispatch's writing is real bottom of the barrel slop. Single digit number of good moments, everything else is like if you took every "comedy" line from a comic book or comic inspired movie and threw them all in a blender
