it entered early access with a price of something like 25 burgereuros (I think). It had cancer-tier survival, you would have to think about and tend to all your needs for 90% of the time, while you spend the rest 10% discovering the randomly generated map. The devs acknowledged that the survival system is aids and they said that it would be fixed, never heard much from it ever since. Except them hiking up the price.

apparently they didn't want to make a collector's set and gearbox made them. they had an argument over how to market the fact that it didn't include the game itself. gearbox would have rather scammed people that thought it would come with the game.
i'm not going to say some dumb shit like "i feel sorry for compulsion games" or "it could have been good". because if they didn't have the integrity to tell gearbox to fuck off then no, it wouldn't have. it was a piece of shit on arrival made extra shit by gearbox.

Everyone is being a gigantic faggot, so allow me to be the only guy without a dick in his mouth for a second to give you a proper "review" of the game.
I pirated it when it was still a beta and then later when it finally released.
Short story: It's a sorta neat idea, that has some decent execution in some areas and happens to be unique enough in a few spots that it deserves a pacing glance. However, more than that and you're being robbed.
Long story:
The game is your standard survival crafting open world, but believe me here: it's actually mostly well done at least for this genre.
You can find plenty of collectibles around to craft things with, recipes are unlocked by finding manuals thus rewarding exploration instead of grinding, and you can easily find more than enough stuff with short visits to the town to the point that you don't actually have to hoard shit.
Since all crafting happens in safe houses where you can store all materials, there's a bit of rote here where you treck through an island till you find the safe house (the underground metro station) and then you'll forage every house till your pockets are full, return, store, craft and more out again until you picked the island clean.
You don't have to do this, but it's fun to steal from houses.
I mention this whole paragraph as a positive because compared with the standard games in this genre, you won't spend every waking minute looking for specific items to craft basic shit while carrying an endless amount of uncraftable trash, while there's also also some danger related to scavenging.
The setting itself is fairly unique or at least there aren't that many games set in Not-Britain, The Cartoon Version. You get 2 kinds of "biomes" with an island full of wastrels and poor people that can't take Joy (the drug the plot is tied around) and then the normal islands where everyone is high as fuck.
The first type is easy to get around with, enemies aren't very tough, traps are very simple but the resources you find are shit.
The second type you'll move to as the story progresses has much more dangerous traps and enemies, however it's nothing too difficult anyway.
There's some comical moments with bleak humour regarding the story and Joy, there's some weird characters and some funny locations like the cult of Yam, but they are mostly sparsed out and you'll see most of what matters in the first islands.
Now enough faux praise, here's why the game is shit:
(1/2)
0b2638 No.14518831
>>14518790
>it's open world! But not really…
It's clear that they had a neat idea regarding story progression when they were starting but they couldn't carry it over the whole game.
The first bit of the story you get is simply to cross over a bridge to another island. There's several different obstacles to cross depending on how you want to tackle the situation, but they all require that you explore the island you're on and find something there to help you.
You can help a guy to get a free battery and power part of the bridge to go across.
You can find a guard and beat the shit out of him for his keys.
You can help a dude and get parts to repair a section that also lets you go across.
These are pretty cool segments since they work with the open world, where you explore it and pick your options based on what you want. Don't have what you need to complete this? Come back later when you have better\right gear.
However as the game progresses, the story now starts to happen inside houses and later underneath the sewers. This means linear progression through levels. In an open world game.
Your hunger, thirst and sleep are still ticking but some segments do not allow backtracking, so you better hurry the fuck up. Your supplies are also limited to what you brought with you and can find on that level, so you're fucked if you didn't brought enough or wasted shit or brought the wrong crap. All this becomes a very noticeable problem when you get your first boss fight and the whole process of taking it down requires several tries of different shit till you figure it out, where you'll waste supplies and vitals. By the way, it's a roguelike, so you can't reload a previous save.
This is the main problem with it, from a gameplay perspective. The story works against the gameplay and viceversa.
The gameplay has you going around nigging shit left and right and acting like a fucking psycopath, not only because it's usefull to hoard stuff but also because it's fun to use some of the shit you make like all the damn bombs or darts.
However, the story implies your character is actually a moralfag and pays almost no mind to time of day (except to close the places you wanted to visit) or to your character needs. Almost like it happens in an entirely different game.
The gameplay screams "run everywhere! nig all you can nig!" but the story tells you "go here and talk to this person, don't waste time looking around".
Speaking of story, the secondary quests are terrible. Some are very basic shit, others are crap you can't even complete until you change island but you have no way to know this and there are only a very small handfull that are actually neat or interesting. The side-characters are too much fucking caricatures to actually work as characters you give a rat's ass about, let alone do favors for.

Correct, but not for that reason.
You can make a lot of different bombs and poisoned darts or gadgets to use and it's fun to see their effects.
However, none of that shit is necessary. You can mostly shove people around or just beat the fuck out of them with no penalty. Even the guards stop being a problem once you get a decent weapon and you can outrun absolutely everything and everyone for fucking ever.
Even in the areas filled with guards and robots, you can run around without being touched so all the nifty gear you crafted sees no purpose. In fact, standing still to use it will likely get you hit instead.
See, the crafting is decent when we are talking healing items or weapons or clothes since each serves it's purpose well enough, but for gadgets, it's Dishonored all over again. If you want to have fun with it, you're gonna have to be a dick and use stuff you really have no need for.
And to make things worse, the story segments don't require or even have much use for those things either. The entire point of being MacGyver and solving your problems with quick thinking and duct tape is simply worse than just bashing things with a big blunt object.
So unlike every other sandbox crafting survival game, they do give you the tools, they just never require them to progress, are worse options than brute force and don't work as well during the story segments, so here's story clashing with gameplay again.
You'll never feel smart tossing bombs around, you'll just feel frustrated, knowing you could have done the same thing in one third of the time with a baseball bat at the expense of a bit of durability instead.

0b2638 No.14518919
>>14518868
Lastly, let's talk about Joy.
The main mechanic of the game is a drug called Joy. You take it and you see the world in a new light, feel happy and whatnot. However withdrawal makes you feel like shit and people don't really like to see that, so they chase you over that crap.
The gameplay effects are that you run a bit faster while on joy and can even sprint around without causing suspicion of the upper caste of residents.
However withdrawal makes you look like an outcast (a Downer) and drains your hunger\thirst faster for a while.
This mechanic supposedly matters a lot because they lace the water with Joy in the civilized islands and you, according to the story, don't want to take too much Joy.
I honestly can't remenber what happens if you OD on it (I think it was a single gameover and that's it) because it's actually fucking hard to reach OD. When you get to the civilized islands, you can easily drink water from anywhere and consider the Joy buff as an actual buff since you can sprint everywhere now and faster to boot.
It's made out to be this terrible gameplay element where you're forced to take it in order to blend in, but the reality is that there's no downsides to it except for withdrawal that you never get with infinite sources of joy around you anyway and since it's the best way to blend in, slurp it in my friend!
Storywise, the idea is that Joy makes you hallucinate a much more beautifull world. The starting segment has you beating down a pinata full of candy, only for the Joy effects to end and you see a rat corpse with every other person eating it's guts.
However when you play the game, the only effect you get is a brighter and more colorfull vision, but otherwise everything looks the same. Except for a few missions where you can see ghosts and stuff, nothing visually changes about the game with or without joy, just the color palette.
So basically, it's a complete fucking blunder of a gameplay mechanic that does nothing but contribute narratively to some degree when the gameplay isn't contradicting the story.

Tetris has a long lasting reputation and a reason for having merch.

0b2638 No.14518945
>>14518919
On a final note:
It's the kind of game that gives open world survival craft games a bad name (and there's no shortage of these).
It's not worth a single dollar since for everything they did right, they did thrice as much wrong.
Arguably, it's not even worth a pirate. I found the whole thing to be quite buggy even with the final release that I had to use console commands to unfuck some situations. (flashbacks to Skyrim come flooding)
If you care about politics, they were funded by the canadian government as well. That and the money from Gearbox already gave them far more than this shit deserves.
It was a neat idea when it was just in beta and it needed a lot more effort put into it, but they fucked it with their "muh narrative experience" and strayed far from the genre.
Now you get a mess that works against itself in both gameplay and story. Loads of unique options to work with, but neither is required, loads of story about serious government control amidst a comic and silly village.
I just hope that future devs see this and learn a valuable lesson from it: if you're working on an highly interactive genre, stick to it and keep the story you are trying to tell on the backside.

>>14518960
I was expecting that Joy at least prevented you from using weapons or being violent or prevent sprinting, what with being a pacification drug and all.
Not being able to fight back against guards or anything else nor sprinting for safety would mean you'd have to use said gadgets to get by or pick your fights carefully.
Or possibly have every guard and threat appear as something normal instead so you never know what's dangerous and what isn't.
It was an horrible disappointment not just because of how tame the whole thing was, but also because of all the cool shit they could have done with it.

It's not "cucked" because it doesn't watch it's wife have intercourse with another male. It is however a poiniant take on culture, socioeconomic divides and of course intersectional memetic culture that derives from a more philostonian understanding of mankind but none the less is quite good. I would argue the game captures the political landscape of america quite well, not only for it's ability to use the 'Mask' and pills as both allegory and metaphor as well as literal interpretations and heavy handed showcases for pharma and it's abuse. Most americans are on SRII or some form of antidepressant and the worlds most popular books are self help books.
but because it's not an anime /v/ hates it. If it was moe blobs and "waifus" then this would be /v/'s favorite but of course because it isn't it's somehow a "SJW-Boogie Man Gaymer Gate Game"

Hold the phone, everyone has a price except the ultra rich and wealthy.
Principles, stances and moral justification, blah blah blah , etc ; Do not pay bills. Only people born into true wealth can honestly preach that a large sum of money cannot sway their opinion or sell their dreams. Because what's sinking 200K in a start up if it's daddy's money or someone else's money?
>Come up with a great idea.

At that point you can either.

or
> B) Accept the offer, sell your dream, move on vastly richer and never look back while moving towards bigger goals or simply retiring early.
Ignorance and Greed have nothing to do with it.
There is also the pressure of the here and now. A lot of people do not look towards the future when making serious choices. Now if your dream was generating serious buzz, you could possibly hold out - -but then you run the risk of losing out even more. For example : I could talk about Bitcoin in this regard but between the normals and (((someone))) trying to pump and dump it after a decade of flopping between worthless and useless; Let's not even mention how newfags hopped into Bitcoin without even knowing about the repeated bullshit- - I don't feel like getting into what they're doing to it now.

"We Happy Few" is a game about alternate history England where the British Isles were invaded and occupied by Nazi Germany. The occupation resulted in/was ended by an unspeakably atrocious act on part of the English people which has left them emotionally broken; to counteract this everyone has become addicted to a drug called Joy which does exactly what its name implies, literal happy pill that makes the world look better than it is. You play as some guy who stops taking his Joy and is ousted from civilization and now you have to, I don't know, escape England or something.
But it's a shitty survival crafting game so any value of that plot doesn't mean a damn thing, and it's also published by Gearbox and is an overpriced early-access money-wringing piece of garbage.

Thank you for the indepth review. You don't see too many people willing to go through the effort. But man, I'm really disappointed. The intro cutscene makes this look like really fun scenario for a video game, but the actual game part is more generic indie shit. Even some of the subtle black humor stuff, like the guy on the television telling the populace to partake in Simon Says or their neighbors will break their legs.

Why would we? Most every anon has read 1984, the Fireman and Brave New World already.

There have been a lot of new and varied scams relating to indie games recently. Things like No Man's Sky and We Happy Few rode the publisher hype train right into a brick wall. Meanwhile I personally feel Hunt Down The Freeman is pulling a scam nobody has even realized the flavor of yet.

I was under the impression No Man's Sky was more of a case of incompetent developers having their thoroughly forgetful game picked up by Sony and shilled hard rather than an intentional scam.
