Random morning thought: the leveling up on this game doesn't work. The starkest example of waterboy, who is a weak and socially awkward twerp even if you max out his strength and charisma. But it's the same with everyone else: their personality and abilities in the story are completely discontented from they abilities in the game.

Well, that was shorter than I thought it would be.
I might replay making different choices but I don't know how much it would actually change things. I also didn't like the dispatch gameplay that much and was pretty bad at it. Not that it mattered at all in the story, I think.

For some reason the fact that Phenomaman talks like he does on the commercial is the funniest thing so far. I'm still laughing about it.

Dispatch isn’t a triumph of mechanical innovation. It doesn’t reinvent the narrative adventure game, but it doesn’t pretend to. On the other hand, it delivers one of the most compelling interactive dramas in years, an adult animated superhero story with the emotional punch of prestige television and a script that truly shines. I didn’t want to stop playing just because I needed to know what happened next; I kept playing because I cared who it was happening to.

This would be a fun short tv series.
Every chapter, after I watched a 10 minute scene that required no interaction from me, I'd wonder out loud "Can I actually play this game at some point?" then, after a couple QTEs or a hacking mini-game was thrown at me, I'd quietly protest "No, not like this."

i consider this game an absolute must play , check it out and refund it if you dont get hooked in the first hour and a half. Great writing and characters , i am truly sad to be finished :(
