Your Choices Don't Matter: The Trilogy

somebody just watched the e;r video

>>732191882
Shows standards were higher back then. If ME3 happened today, you'd have an army of shills defending the ending.

>>732191914
Guilty as charged

Well, yeah. It's Telltale garbage. Guess kids are too young to remember their slow, pathetic agony.

You can tell the devs were retards because they openly admitted they had no idea the waifus would be so popular.

>>732191637
>playing a glorified dating sim for choices
The only choices that matter are if you prefer bpd tomboys, or busty brunettes that work in hr.

Just like real life..
where unknown forces conspire against you and whatever choice you make gets retroactively turned into the wrong one.

It's pretty obvious what they're doing if you've played more than once or just save scummed.
The less route specific content the less you have to animate and the less voice lines you need to record. For the most part Dispatch really keeps up the illusion well and the cracks don't show until the final episodes.

>>732192070
He's just reiterating what even Telltalle fans have been saying lmao. It's just that with Dispatch they got a new wave of zoomers who weren't around for Walking Dead.

People forgot that literally the reason Telltalle died was because people got tired of their slow ass, outdated, no-consequences formula.

>>732191637
wtf is wrong with her left leg

>>732192143
Ever heard of perspective?

It's a good tv show / dating sim. Once you ignore the idea of your choices not mattering and just enjoy the roller coaster it's very enjoyable. I like E;R, but a visual novel like expefience of this quality can't exactly expect to delve deep into characters due to budget and time limitations.

>>732192194
He addressed this issue though. He said that he completely understands the budget and time constraints and trying to do a true high fidelity branching formula is almost impossible, especially if you plan to have multiple seasons. His problem was that they keep advertising it as a "choices matter game".

>>732192140
Well no, Telltale died because they kept taking contracts to do IPs and projects no one really had any interest in, and their budgeting was completely fucked because they made walking dead tier sales the expectation rather than the exception

>>732192273
Yea that's to trick the goyim, and it works, retards new to this formula are tricked because they only play the games once

>>732192279
Nah, their formula simply never evolved and they kept making streaming bait titles which is always a good idea where your business model is to have a handful of people actually buy your game and rest will just watch it.

>>732192316
>them eyes

>>732192279
it was a combination of that and their ceo quite literally embezzling all the money into his own pockets
they oversaturated their own market and failed to keep people interested because the quality of writing was inconsistent and best and outright trash at worst
it's a shame because right before they got canned they actually did manage to have a game where choices mattered with batman 2, iirc the last episode, or the ending at least, was pretty different based on how you treated joker throughout the game

>>732192316

>>732194720
That’s the funny part: places like /v/ and reddit (i.e. “/v/ backwash”) will not take an assertion seriously unless it’s an e-celeb who makes it. Yes, other people have pointed out what a completely meaningless game Dysentery is, but if it takes a video essay like E;R’s to get the retards to take criticism seriously then whatever.

>>732191637
Meh. Telltale's gonna Telltale. It's a movie with two romance options.

I don't get Invisibitch. She felt bad about bombing Bobob and his mech, but went through with it and watched the explosion from her car while looking all emotionless, THEN accepted Shroud's job as a double agent within Dispatch? Was the thing about her augments not working once she "left" Shroud's gang just a lie? I must've missed something along the way.

>>732201029
I'm gonna be 100% honest, I think the writers don't really even know. I liked Dispatch a lot but the writing gets really shaky at the end and feels unfinished. If I had to guess, I don't think she was lying about the augments not working because her asthma was still acting up all those weeks she was working at SDN. Maybe Shroud turned them off to make sure she kept her cover or something I dunno.

>>732201187
Jesus. I know you're trying to stir shit for attention or whatever, but do people really get off on this stuff?

It's funny because i didn't see the alternative, but the fact that Invisigal magically knows who you are even if you don't reveal your identity and she's not in the room when Chase reveals it is so funny. They didn't even care to check for all the (limited) choices in their shitty game.

>>732200234
i like it a lot.

>>732201258
>do people really get off on this stuff?
nope, and all those vore websites, thousands upon thousands of vore images, and threads on /d/ are just a huge ironic joke that you're not in on

>>732201029
I think Shroud was just lying to cause discord between Invisigal and the team. She could've given the power core to Shroud at anytime.

>>732191637
The choices indeed don't matter much. There are two endings, normal ending and good ending. If the sequel follows this cast, they have to kill off Invisigal so the paths don't diverge too far.

>>732201347
Lol even in her Villain path she does a good thing. There won't be any issue to get back on track and everyone behaving like nothing happened.

>>732201347
Visi was definitely not giving the astral pulse to Shroud. I think that whole thing that happened in the lab in the final episode was her going to secretly swap it with the proto pulse so she could pretend she was double agenting to Shroud and give him the wrong one while the suit had the real one now for Bobert to use.

>>732201267
I'm pretty sure she knew from the beginning, like Blazer. She was hiding in the conference room when Robert took off his mask the first day. They even argued about it in the kitchen when the bat guy waiting for the shaker to finish up.

Unless you could've somehow avoided her seeing you in the first day.

>>732201347
a visi death could actually be kino but yeah I would probably lose interest in the series if she was gone.

>>732201347
Was Shroud lying? For a second there, his goons treated her like one of them. You see her taking their money for the job and then she turns invisible out of embarrassment, I think?

The worst parts of the game are when their californian onions reddit leftist critical role dnd millenial or gen x whatever the fuck energy comes out.

It's partly the way Robert was written himself, partly his delivery of some lines. The character is essentially "and then everyone clapped" lines and speeches that you think of in the shower the next day. the type of person these gay writers wish they were.
I just needed 5% more reality. They made one offhanded dig at how he gives too many pep talks by Flambae and one admission from Robert that he didn't plan his speech past revealing his identity because he thought Flambae would kill him, so he didn't know what to say. There was also that scene where he had fallen asleep reading some management tips guidebook. I appreciated these but they were very minor, easily unnoticeable things though. I wish there was just one scene of him practicing some lines in the mirror or something that we then later hear him saying in a full speech. Just something that is actually endearing instead of just expecting the audience to like him as much as the characters instantly do. Because the reality is he was a lone hero autist with depression in a robot suit that never interacted with anyone. He wouldn't be some charisma man

>>732202147

Nothing about what Shroud said makes adde up so I chalk it up to him bluffing about a bunch of shit. In reality I think they changed a lot about Visi as things went along but didn’t change what they wrote for the ending so the dialogue just didn’t end up making sense anymore.

>>732208051
His charisma comes from the fact that he’s sincere. Obviously the writer’s can sit down and figure it all out and hammer it out so it sounds nice but from the Z-Team perspective Robert is doing it all off the top of his dome as he tries to get through to them. That’s why he’s always cursing and saying random shit like “fuck the stars.” The only practice he’s had is dropping one-liners while fighting the villains and talking shit with Chase when he was a kid.

I think Phenomaman and BB are supposed to be outliers in this world. Most heroes aren’t that OP (we have a fucking midget who’s big claim to fame is he doesn’t feel it when he’s getting his ass kicked). Visi in most any fight is shown to be quite the shitkicker even with a limited power set.

Forcing the player to cut someone from the supevillain rehab program we're in charge of literally on the second day of the job is insane. From a narrative perspective, from a choice perspective, from an organizational perspective. All to create the plot "thread" of one of them becoming a villain later that leads to nothing substantial
Like literally first day Blazer says
>you led the best shift that team has ever had
>we'll take your lead and try things your way
Then she breaks up with her boyfriend and over the weekend decides someone is going to get cut and goes ahead and informs YOUR TEAM before telling you, on your second day. The most you're allowed to say is "uhhh are you sure" and that's it

and people think blonde blazer is best girl

>>732212693
cutting Visi from the team and then leaving her handcuffed is enough to turn her to villainy and both of those are reasonable choices given the circumstances they happen in.

The problem is the unfunny mongaloids spamming TTS messages and interacting with the horrid chat-GTP abomination he's rigged up.

That whole sequence wasn't thought out very well as they obviously wanted everyone to cut Coupe, but you barely knew these characters at that point, so it feels more kind of bullshit than anything really impactful. And then that's the last time team dynamics ever get discussed because it becomes Invisigal's story after that episode. There are some really badly written stuff in Dispatch if you really sit back and think about it on multiple playthroughs

>>732212693
He actually explains why the point system is fucked and you basically have to fuck her or be extremely on point so she doesn't derail. Mind you I don't agree with that being a bad thing per se, she is a woman.

Vore in itself seems to have different levels. Some of it is kind of understandable BDSM play with extra layers. It's the vore where you actively see the painful digestion process itself or heavy focus on shitting and burping that I really can't figure out the appeal of.

>>732213096
>leaving her handcuffed
That's probably the biggest mistake. You can cut her from the team and still get the hero Visi ending as long as you're reasonable in the conversation about it with her, and you can even romance Blazer and still get hero Visi. But if you still can't trust Visi by that stage of the story, that'll likely have a huge negative swing that pushes her to the villain/anti-hero route.
The other big factor isn't story related but instead how successful she is on missions. If you have her keep failing or bench her too long, she won't be able to rack up enough points to fix the damage caused by bad calls.

>The video surveillance of SIE's reunion with Thorton was removed and encrypted by the latter. It has since been rewatched 153 times, and every intelligence agency on Earth is offering rewards upwards of a million dollars for its contents.

If you don't date Visi you have to send her on like 10-20 extra successful missions to get the good ending. You have to be biased in her favor no matter what.

If you want to cut her and not forgive her and keep her tied up and still want her to be a hero, you have to send her on something like 35 successful missions.

>>732210970
I never understand this critique about shorter stories where people are just like “it would have been better if it wasn’t about this person.” Then it wouldn’t be a thing at all. It was always about Robert, Vis, and BB. That is how the story was made. It’s not a ten million episode serial tv show where focus drifted over years, it was literally always their story, if you don’t like them then you don’t like the story itself.

>>732210108
I liked Zaheer so no but he was the only interesting character in that shitshow

>>732212776
The fact that whoever stays within Robert’s sphere of influence staying good and whoever leaves always turning evil again makes it just an actual, factual fuck up on her part to. No denying it. It’s kind of funny how hard the writers fucked over the one they thought would easily win the best girl bowl.

>>732213727
Zaqueer is dumb because he has no reason to think the avatar is bad for humanity except libertarian autism. The show should have tried to at least entertain his perspective by showing that the avatars over history have been willing to cause mass casulty events for the sake of the natural or spiritual world. He could have found out by studying in the owl library or something.

If people didn't like the story (including the world, the characters) they wouldn't be asking for it to be longer and exploring more characters deeply.

Brother, characters can actually die based on your choices, ending their plotline early while continuing others, changing how events play out when they may have met otherwise. That isn't even comparable to the linearity of Dispatch.

>>732195997
Pretty solid. A bit too much going into how Dispatch/TTG are false-advertising how much your choices shape the game since most people know that, especially his audience, but still good.

That was my experience. Even the most retarded leader would see that she's a liability. She doesn't come clean; she gets CAUGHT lying, she barely apologizes to Robert and goes into pity me mode, and she's impulsive. She might be fun to get a drink with, but I wouldn't depend on her.

>>732217587

Why is this hard for TTfags to understand? Just be honest about what the game is. Stop pretending that it matters which character of two is killed/fired in a mandatory choice, stop the game from playing itself if you ignore it rather than secretly punishing the player later, and stop pretending that the story has any sort of branching.

>>732201029
I think she really didn't think things through until after she was out of the gang, IE when she was in the car watching Bob explode. That's when things got real. She realized she might've killed an actual hero, and not some corpo muscle for hire or a shitty villain. That said, I choose to ignore Shroud's comment, it's just too messy in a bad way, it doesn't make sense for Visi to be a double agent at any point. Like other people said, it was either an oversight, leftover story beats, or just plain lies (by shroud)

>>732210609
There are a couple of examples where you use Visi to bypass security measures in the game. The only way we see her getting detected is when Beef sniffs her out.
I mean, even Shroud couldn't detect she was standing right in front of Robert.

>>732218594
>when the game says that a decision that does matter doesn't
What game are you talking about?

>>732216585
I disagree for the reason that while yeah, Visi is in reality just one member of a larger team, she is narratively speaking the focal point for the theme of redemption. She’s the one you spend the most time with and the one who shows the most visible changes in behavior based on Robert as a leader. Failing her should feel like a big fucking failure.
I felt that the villain visi ending kind of flies in the the face of the whole narrative structure being about how (mostly) anyone can be redeemed if shown proper care and given the tools to succeed. Her villain ending should feel like failure, not “oh so cool she has a mask now, step on my balls, shiiiiit.”

>spoiler

>>732218791

>>732218335
She can spit and punch me

>>732218898
Except I didn't care about redeeming any of them. It was just a part of getting my suit fixed.

>>732219951
Then why do you care about the game saying you failed as a mentor

>>732220168
Say what you will about the choices not mattering, your final result in Dispatch remains an emotional maturity indicator.

>>732218898
Probably comes down more to the shitty way the game decides whether she goes villain or not - I backed her every step of the way except decided not to keep her on the team because at that point she'd fucked it.
In my view, if you make exceptions for her repeatedly, the other team members could easily think 'fuck it', and start fucking around more as well.
It's clear the devs wanted Visi to be the focal point, but at the end of the day your job is to run the whole team and her repeated actions put the rest of the members at risk of failing to reform.
She never shows any remorse or responsibility, so why should I allow her to stay on the team when it's almost guarantee she'll compromise everything again?
Robert isn't there to babysit her, he's there to make the team a success, and if she can't do her part then she deserves to be cut loose.
I found it ironic that the whole Robert/Phenomaman arc is about teaching him how to let go and move on, but Visi clearly has a far more toxic attraction to Robert than Phenomaman had to Blonde Blazer, but I'm supposed to just look past that and accept it if I don't choose to give in to her sexual harassment/assault?

>>732220917
I think you’re supposed to look at it as Visi doing it for you/for the greater good. She’s TRYING to do the right thing, but it went south. There’s an added layer of her trying to be a team player for once, then no one backs her up. I mean sure, if she went off and did some stupid selfish shit, sure, can her. But she’s trying to get a super macguffin out of the hands of criminals. And the team’s reasoning isn’t even based on her actual actions or what happened to Chase, it’s “because she made us look bad.”
So waifu shit aside, to me it was a pretty clear choice between picking up a teammate/student who tried and failed or trying to protect an image and appease people in the short term.

This is by far the worst part of his video, he can't seem to get across if he's mad that choices don't matter, or that they do and it doesn't hold your hand with paragon or renegade point pop ups.

>>732221312
This being said, the margin for error being so narrow for Visi’s hero points being so tightly tied to you having extra from her romance route is a little goofy, but what can you do, no game’s perfect.

>>732221487
According to my numbers:
You need 45 points for Visi to be a hero
If you fail all her QTEs, and pick all the negative choices for her, you're left with -2 in points.
You get one point per successful mission with her, and 5 for her skill training. You'd need 42 missions, plus the skill training to counter the story choices, and you get roughly 89 missions during the game (not counting the shifts where she's gone, and I'm not too clear on the exact numbers I wrote since it's been a while)
The problem comes from people naturally failing and picking some weird choices that don't add to her points. That said, you can very easily make her a hero without romancing her.

>Visi doing it for you
This is exactly the problem though - her attachment to Robert is completely compromising her ability to perform as a member of the team.
If you embrace her advances you can kind of hash that out and 'fix' her, but if you turn her away it's clear that the healthy option is to cut her loose and create some distance so she doesn't keep doing reckless shit to earn Robert's affection. In my view, it's exactly because you've invested so much more time in her at that point than any other member of the team, yet she does literally nothing to show that she's making any progression up until the point you can choose to cut her.
It feels pretty clear to me that Visi doesn't go on the suicide mission to get the AP for 'the greater good', it's because she wants to prove to Robert that she would do pretty much anything for him - it's an incredibly selfish impulse and shows she hasn't learned anything despite your best efforts.

>>732191914
thank god i dont know what you are talking about

>>732223887
Thank you adhoc

>>732224230
I guess we just disagree what progress looks like then
She functions as a member of the team for most of the story past episode 2, she helps Robert understand how the team views him and how he can gain their trust, and she comes up with a plan for the team to pool their resources and be proactive about doing something good (not for pay this time), and decides to put her own ass on the line. If you really pay attention to her actions, she responds to every single one of Robert’s criticisms of her in their first argument and tries to improve. I mean she’s certainly not Wonder Woman yet but for the like month this game takes place in, it’s pretty big stuff.
I guess it also comes down to how you interpret what the Z team is supposed to be. If you want them to be that world’s justice league or whatever then she’s not ready, but none of them really are. If you want it to be a rehabilitation program, that shit does in fact often require 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chances.

>>732223887
The septum piercing is the attractiveness-equivalent of weighted clothing. Something kneecapping you that you can easily remove

>>732225205
If it wasn't for her relentless sexual pursuit of Robert, I'd probably agree with you - but it genuinely felt to me that all the positive actions you see from her are an attempt to earn his affection than doing the right thing or being a team player.
Felt pretty clear from the way she is written and the comparitive depth she had compared to Blonde Blazer that she was the devs' preferred option and I agree the whole rehabilitation thing makes more sense if you become involved with her.
If you don't, her actions just come across as increasingly toxic.
I think the rest of the team make a very reasonable point when they indicate that Coupe/Sonar were let go for far less, so how can you justify playing teacher's pet with Visi?
I don't really buy the whole 'Visi needs the most attention so deserves endless second chances because it's the only way to fix her' when your job is to run a team, but the devs clearly didn't really care much about your relationship with the other members of the team/couldn't implement it because these visual narrative game structures don't really work when you have to make choices that apply to more than one or two people.

>And this is just dishonest, it's a single war asset in 3, not even a quest, just few lines of bonus dialogue with Verner
Completely wrong. It's a quest that can only be completed with a good outcome if you have several imported decisions from the previous games, including buying a specific weapons license, getting enough of a certain collectible, and doing specific unrelated sidequests.
>but it's just a war asset
And Telltale games just give "X will remember that" and nothing else.

>>732222837
And this attitude is why we're not going to get good games again, because it's against the rules to argue against "the narrative", it's impossible to point to what was a bad game in 2012 and realize that it's actually miles better than a "good game" in 2025. We're already at the point where correctly blatantly wrong info about a bad game is "defending" it and thus illegal. So now we have "choice-based" games that can't fucking keep track of what little choices you're allowed to make.

>>732216215

>It's a quest
It's few lines of dialogue that rewards you with 5 (five) war assets in a game where you finish with thousands of them. A single multiplayer promotion gets you more war assets than collecting all the shitty ME1 collectibles does - and that's the only reason the quest is in the game, they realized all of the ME1 collectibles were pointless and this was the easiest fix. In fact every single choice throughout the trilogy just comes down to whether you get 50 or 60 war assets in 3 at the end of it's chain, which is completely irrelevant since you're gonna meet the best ending requirements by just doing Omega and Leviathan

Visi having two different endings is twice as many as Trans Effect has KEK

>>732226073
>but it really can be summarized as "I don't like telltale 'games'"
This statement pisses me off because of the assumption that you don't like Telltale games if you don't like zero gameplay in your game, if you don't like being lied to about how many of your choices have any consequence, or if you don't like insufferable quirk chungus insincere dialogue. Because there's absolutely no reason why those problems can't be fixed. There was nothing stopping Dispatch from being as good as (if not better than) TWD S1 other than the devs themselves not being willing to change shitty habits. There is absolutely no reason why we couldn't have had a version of Dispatch with game overs, with actual multiple endings instead of just "Invisigal is a cunt" vs. "Invisigal is slightly less of a cunt", with small changes to indicate character development in response to the player's actions, etc. The mentality of "oh that's just what Telltale games are like get over it" is stifling so much potential.

>>732226065
Fair enough, the sexual aspect does kind of make it a little seedier (they don’t call it hr violation simulator for nothing). I will note that when Visi says “I just wanted you to look at me like you look at Blazer,” I think it’s the more accepted interpretation that while on its surface it seems like she means it romantically, she really does mean she wants to be seen as a hero (given her jealousy of “hero powers”). We’re sort of given to understand that Robert is the gold standard of heroes, and her friend, so it’s sort of like “hey if he believes in me, then it’s legit.” So I take her at her word about actually wanting to be better, thirsty or not.
Team has a fair point about the cutting thing too but that shit was out of my hands, Visi wasn’t. Take it up with management/the writers’ room Z-team, not my fault. We needed a big telltale choice, sorry.
I dunno maybe I’m just a moralfag but I didn’t think “she made us look bad in the press” and “what about that one time mom made you cut the other guy” were good enough reasons to cut somebody who’s come so far.

Again, don't care what the image references, Blond Blazer should have worn dark lingerie to contrast her lighter skin.

>It's few lines of dialogue that rewards you with 5 (five) war assets in a game where you finish with thousands of them.
And that's still more than what any Telltale game has accomplished.
>In fact every single choice throughout the trilogy just comes down to whether you get 50 or 60 war assets in 3
And every single choice in a Telltale game comes down to how many "X will remember that" notifications you get.
Attempting to quantify the value of a narrative choice by how many good boy points the game awards is idiotic, so why are you bothering? Why is the standard for ME3 or any other non-Telltale game "every single choice must lead to a significant impact on the ending"? Why are Telltale and its successors the only ones exempt from this criteria? Why is the standard so low for them, and for no other game?

>Visi having two different endings is twice as many as Trans Effect has KEK
Why are you lying? Who do you think you're fooling? Do you think that pretending that ME3 was worse than it actually was is somehow going to make Pisspatch any better?
If you're not willing to go into the actual flaws of ME3's ending, or address the flaws in Dispatch, why are you even pretending to argue?

>>732227347
To be fair there's a lot of reasons one can have for cutting her, for me it was simply.
"You didn't listen to my request to not jump into this right away and it nearly got Chase killed, this is not the first time you've done stuff on your own and got others hurt, You are done."

Has there ever been a multiple-choice story game where your choices actually matter?
Do we need AI in order to actually make it a reality?

>>732228502
It's funny how games like Witcher 3 that have much more going on, have choices that matter way more.

>>732228358
It's the Telltale Effect. Their games are simultaneously unprecedentedly great narrative experiences with amazing interactivity, and also just linear stories that don't need to be anything other than linear stories and you're an entitled weirdo if you expect any sort of branching path or alternate route.

>>732228502
Funnily enough, Detroit: Become Human
Chrono Trigger if you go back enough (you can let Crono stay dead and get a completely different ending, if you die to Lavos you get a bad ending, all the NG+ endings and so on)

>>732228685
And that's not mentioning stuff like choosing to spare Magus or have Frog duel him to the death
Chrono Trigger did a lot more with way less

It's easier to come up with alternative scenes for multiple choices when you use sprite graphics and text. If you made a true "choices matter" Telltale-style game, it would take years and years to make and take more than 100gigs to fit all the myriad potential scenes and voicelines.

>>732212776
I really feel like if they didn't have budget and time constraints, the whole Coupe/Sonar situation would have been one of the actual "meaningful choices" you can make by not have either of them leave.
Because as it stands now, it just makes Robert look like a massive hypocrite if he chooses to defend Visi and not kick her off, especially if he's porking her.

>>732229045
And that's fine
Just don't sell it as YOUR CHOICES MATTER, it's very simple

Your choices don't matter in real life.

Games are supposed to be better than real life.

The best Telltale game in this regard that I played is the second Batman one. The last episode changes quite a bit depending on what you’ve done.

>>732228502
Define "actually matter".
David Cage games usually have a bunch of endings that are a result of the sum of choices made throughout the whole game, but the writing is so shit it's hard to care about more than one or two characters.
The Mass Effect trilogy has hundreds of variables that have some sort of consequence by the end, with the ending choice putting the galaxy in one of four radically different states, but again, because that choice comes out of left field it doesn't feel like connected to anything you did before. And because all your choices are quantified with the war asset system, saving a life feels insignificant because you only get a few 'points' for that life.
And then you have Telltale. At their best, they can make it feel like everything you do matters, even though none of it matters. Clementine was the best way they did this. By having an impressionable child observe your actions, every word you speak feels like it has tremendous weight.
It's quite easy to have a game that goes completely off the rails in response to player choices. The first Persona game has the 'Snow Queen Quest', what amounts to a whole other secret game that you can access by making certain decisions, complete with an extra storyline, alternate party members, a different final boss, new villains, etc. And yet, it's not as emotionally impactful as "Clementine will remember that".
Ultimately, these are just video games. It's only going to "matter" as much as you want it to matter, as invested as you get, and the more attention you draw to the mechanical aspects of your choices, the more disconnected you feel from the emotional core.
The game that I personally think does it best is Silent Hill 2, mainly because there's no 'good' or 'correct' ending. You don't know you're making important choices as you play, you're hopefully entirely invested in the characters.
The real answer is that it all matters as long as it matters to (You).

>>732229474
>And yet, it's not as emotionally impactful as "Clementine will remember that".
And then she doesn't or it doesn't matter, completely ripping the emotional part away

And it all branches lead to different flavors of the robo rights movement and the battle for Detroit.

Nothing about Dispatch is sincere. It's literally the past 10 years of ironic writing distilled into one semi-interactive movie.

>>732218020
Choices don't matter, since none of your input actually affects the ending one way or another in 99.99% of cases. This criticism is perfectly valid.
At the same time, the game actively hiding from you the fact that a tiny number of (non-story related) choices (aka the dispatch mission assignments) do in fact matter, is extremely poor game design. This too is a perfectly valid criticism.
Now feel free to sperg out some more between gooning sessions to whichever of the two bitches you simp for you pathetic loser.

Fact: Mommyfag passive subs who want the girl to do everything for them and who have never talked to a girl simp for Blazer, real go-getter assertive men who have experience with relationships and want to save the well meaning but low self esteem girl instead go for Visi.

You must be tired of hearing this, but you want a man. That's also why you never have any art of her real form, just the muscle abomination.
