2 days. 80 million copies sold. Would've been nice. We sold 1 Million in 10 days though. Still pretty good.

I’ve been enjoying Dispatch so far, and the sales numbers seem well deserved. I know a few people waiting for all the episodes to be outbefore they buy it, though (final episode is out Nov 12).

If you liked the telltale games you will like dispatch.

    Are the “minigames” not too tedious ? I love Telltale games, for the story. I really disliked when they tried to implement too much “active gameplay” like they did with the last season of The Walking Dead (which had more shooting / action sequence), or The Expanse that felts like a walking simulator with barely any story

    Still glad they’re making a good comeback

        Cool, I love it when games allow to turn off some QTE and stuff like that, it’s great for accessibility

      Half the game is cutscenes in the form of a show, the other half is a rather fun management sim, where you balance your ‘heroes’ and calls coming in. Keep in mind, the choices you make in the story portion affect the management portion. I made Jack mad, and that led to a really rough shift. I whole heartedly recommend it. Even as is, since each episode takes about an hour.

        Thanks, I think I’m gonna take it anyway, but I’ll wait for a GOG release (when all episodes are available)

        I don’t trust episodic games and DRM, I’ve seen too many issues of people locked out of their games/episodes
