My review for context:

Wow. The dialogue is really corny. I don't think the voice acting is even that good either.

Have you ever played a Telltale game before, OP?
If not, that would explain a lot.
Dispatch is in the same family of Telltale games, basically western Visual Novels.

Games like it are actual games and have meaningful choices with actual consequences

The Walking Dead actually had QTEs mattered. Games like The Wolf Among Us, Until Dawn, Detroit: Become Human, and others in the same vein both actually allowed you to move around and do stuff, as well as had consequential, meaningful choices, as well as satisfying gameplay

Dispatch seems to have none of that, AND garbage writing

I don't see why people are hyping it, especially when it's an episodic release so the whole thing can't be judged immediately. They're clearly just preying on consumer hype

Who gives a ♥♥♥♥ if it's popular? Just play the games you like and ignore everything else. It's not that hard.

You, apparently

Your last post was the 24th of October, but you felt the need to say your piece about me saying my piece about people saying their piece

Why so combative?

because people like cute superheroes doing cute superhero things

Cause I'm bored and feel like nibbling on some rage bait.

Because it is accessible and runs on toasters. You think that it is astroturfed since it doesn't appeal to epic hardcore gamers, but they're reaching outside of that target audience.

No, I think it's astroturfed because of all of the reasons I listed; it's overpriced, it's corny and low-effort AI-scripted, the only game is a mobile game which appears to genuinely have been designed so it could be played exclusively with a TV remote, and that the choices are inconsequential

Nice strawman, though

Because the game is good and I like it too along with a lot of other people.

Sadly, I think you're exactly the type of person they're trying to appeal to

For context, this is their review

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/riruruu/recommended/2592160/

they also have 1,300 hours on Marvel Rivals, if that tells you anything

My initial presumption is that the uncultured normies are easily amused.

different people like different things. more on this at ten

I'm not disputing that there will always be someone willing to pay to get kicked in the nuts

I'm questioning the validity of the 88% saying the game is good out of the 9,568 reviews

There's more than 50,000 people playing right now

It's reasonable to wonder why that many people want to get kicked in the nuts; it's the distribution that's strange, not that just that ~some people~ like it
