>The Maidenholm Update is an exciting collection of new content that drastically changes the way We Happy Few is played. This represents the biggest change to the meta gameplay of We Happy Few since we launched on Early Access, and potentially the biggest since we made permadeath optional in 2015.

Remember when this game looked like it had potential and then it just became another Survival Crafting game.
Jayden Myers
Remember when Sup Forums actually looked at how a game plays instead of blindly believing Sup Forums memes?
The survival aspect is just scavenging, which makes sense in a scenario were most food and water are either rotting or drugged up. Crafting is just taping rocks to a bat to hit people harder.
You may as well call Fallout and Elder Scrolls Survival Crafting games.

>Be a Dystopian novels fan >Love the concept of the setting >It's a Survival Game and the story part is just the intro
I don't think the gameplay was that bad but it felt like a massive wasted opportunity when it came out.
Blake Cruz
it was another survival crafting game from its very inception, you were just one of the retards who saw a trailer with no gameplay and thought it was bioshock
Caleb Thompson
5$ have been deposited
Michael Williams
Supposedly when it comes out of early access it's going to have a proper story
Landon Mitchell
>See the trailer E3 >Hey that look good
>Gameplay come out >why.jpeg
Josiah Mitchell
Stop shilling your dead game.
Isaac Cox
So buyers remorse thread?
Carson Garcia
>Another 'EEEH IT'S MINECRAFT?!" retard. >Didn't (can't) even read the disclaimer that it's a fucking Early Access build to develop the gameplay before they add in the story.
You mouthbreathing consumers give me a headpain.
And you can shut the fuck up an' all. You're still idiots for parroting what other people say.
Cooper Watson
bought it, played it, bad game
Henry Smith
Well, the game stands true few are happy, rest gave up on this overpriced $30 garbage
Joshua Torres
It's still in the works though. Don't you know what Early Access even is?
Steam really needs to make people sign something before they can add EA stuff to their carts. They're too thick to read unless it's shoved in their faces.
Blake Wright
yeah it should read "are you actually so fucking retarded that youre going to spend money on an unfinished product?"
Justin Nguyen
i have never seen a game that was bad on early access turning out to be good nice try tough
Xavier Sullivan
>MUH EARLY ACCESS
Face it, the game had 0 reason for survival/crafting beyond it being a trend that was already dying by the time of the initial release. It's a shit game that's getting beaten out in players by fucking Undertale for Christ's sake.
Luis Perez
what a waste of a good idea
Jace Jackson
EA means pay now, play and then refund :^) they did know they're dealing with Steam which gets 40% cut
Logan Stewart
Im interested in it but im just gonna wait for when it actually released.
Parker Sullivan
That doesn't really make a difference.
The foundation of this game is set on bullshit "muh survival" and god-awful soulless procedural mapping. It's shit.
Man, I wish I could find that pic of a guy about to take a dump on a table saying "How do you know it's shit before it even comes out?"
Austin Rivera
Yes, actually.
You should only be buying Early Access titles if you want to test it and contribute to the forums about bugs/features, which is what crated this update.
Too many people are morons who honestly think it should be a complete game before that development. You'd wonder if they even know to lift the toilet lid before taking a piss.
Levi Perez
40% off on release, you should just wait until the devs justify this discount
Ryder White
If you think about it, being in EA phase for over two years must make a killing Oh hai mark my game isn't even finished yet but all these autists buy my game half full price! They really think they're getting reliable updates but really we're just cruising in the slow lane super slow until revenue picks up or we decide to abandon and try again!
Christopher Edwards
>Don't you know what Early Access even is? an excuse to never finish your bad game
Hunter Carter
Oh boy those 5 people are gonna be mindblown when that patch drops
Evan Stewart
I watched a lets play that was like a thousand fucking parts long and it actually looked bretty decent.
Easton Perez
kek
Ethan Anderson
and those 5 people will be the only ones playing by then
Isaac Peterson
>Sup Forums thinks early access games arent just an excuse to release buggy shitty products with impunity
John Adams
That was the joke I was making, yes
Austin Flores
Stop shilling your shitty crafting survival game. It's honestly awful even for this type of game.
Jose Ramirez
>hear about it the first time >"Oh boy, another walking simulator, and this one is gonna rip off Brave New World and 1984 and everyone's gonna suck its dick" >turns out it was an early access, crafting surivval game and nobody cares
Everything went better than expected.
Levi Harris
/thread
Mason Edwards
Wait, I thought this game had a focus on narrative
Aiden Morris
How did they manage to actually make a survival crafting game on steam that no one cares about?
Those things sit at the top of the best sellers list for weeks.
Dominic Richardson
Even that's not even finished
Anthony Diaz
Why didn't they just give us the Bioshock clone we all wanted
Landon Fisher
>$30 some people are still unaware they can refund within 2 hours so if you're interested in the game buy it by all means but be sure to refund and tell us about it
Aiden Harris
its been done to death now.
Ryan Adams
Because when they advertised the game the advertisement primarily painted it as a story-focused game with linear levels.
Camden Cox
>you were just one of the retards who saw a trailer with no gameplay and thought it was bioshock When you show your mostly unknown game at E3 with a trailer only covering the story focused intro that is in no way representative of the game itself, you bring this shit on yourself.
It was literally an attempt at a bait and switch, which doesn't work anymore since Steam introduced refunds.
Josiah Ward
Wonder how the devs feel before and after EA.
All that hype from that trailer, then the crash and burn when it went into EA and people realized it was another survival crafting game and not something like Bioshock.
Watching their game die while they still feel the need to support it. All that hype burning away like the Hindenburg.
Working away every day knowing this is as good as it gets and won't get any better.
I wonder if they feel the suffering every day, or they actually hope the next update will take it off the ground again, or maybe when they finish it it'll take off like a rocket.
To be fair, it was a shitty idea to jump on the survival crafting bandwagon and they deserve it.
Nicholas Rivera
And to think I was fairly interested in how the revolution against happy pills would go.
Jonathan Scott
Hip unfinished pathologic but no plague and not as good as pathologic HD classic and the remake is releasing this fall. better hop on that bandwagon
Henry Kelly
They're adding the story parts last. What's out now is just a test build with the intro and some islands they can update and tweak around easily. Which they have been doing.
Leo Moore
It'll still be open world crafting shit.
Grayson Rivera
>What's out now is just a test build Well then it's not fucking worth talking about.
Zachary Hughes
>falling for the Early Access lies
Ethan Torres
>Release date Jul 26 2016 this nob has been playable for a year and still in development >reviewer base spends no more than 15 hours hmm >autists who cant get enough spend over 200 hours but that's to be expected of a survival crafty but even so those numbers are really really rare
Colton Martin
meant almost a year
Evan Hill
See So you have to take a sip of water and eat a rotten carrot between objectives. Hardly worth shitting the carpet over like people here are doing.
How long do you think games take to make?
Evan Perry
But that post was wrong. The whole thing of the game is crafting items together using junk (beyond what that user said), getting yourself food and water, sleeping, and keeping other needs up. The map is also open world with different subsections. It's literally just crafting survival with some objectives. Stop shilling for free.
Hunter Anderson
>Interesting premise and intro >Immediately turns into procedural survival crafting afterwards
Christian Turner
who cares about this game anymore once everybody was aware and learned that the game is some shitty survival game all the hype was blown away and no one cared anymore
Cooper Gray
What other gameplay does it have then?
Robert Reyes
When people hop into early access, your shit better be 3/4ths done I'm just sayin. Half is fucking A-okay too. Adding more content upon completion such as games like this is a given. If your fanbase doesn't like to wait like hl3 drones then be willing to expect nothing to become of it or it escalates in updates such as a normal EA developer would with some credit Exanima
Robert Powell
is developing and paying your staff even worth it at this point? the game is dead, its over
Dylan Diaz
Just like NMS, huh?
Daniel Clark
...
Parker Martin
2015 2 0 1 5 Where the fuck did my life go?
Anthony Cruz
Again, big fucking deal. It makes sense in the game's premise and gives the player things to solve. You need to avoid detection from the joy takers and slummers but you also need their food to survive.
Taking it out makes it shallow but they added a difficulty level that does just that.
Jaxson Cooper
numbers do not lie
James Parker
>still defending this trash I can only assume you're a neofag or just plain retarded. The game is nothing but an open world survival crafting game, the generic objectives don't change this. The only time the game even gets a little interesting is once you're in the happy town and need to keep taking pills, but the gameplay itself doesn't change outside of this. It's still survival crafting in an open world.
Robert Scott
Context doesn't mean it's not a crafting survival game, nothing you've said has described gameplay elements that contradict this, or even deviate from it.
You clearly like the game, but fucking stop lying about it.
Nolan Cox
just play pathologic HD classic, you'll feel less of a fucking bloody soonker youtube.com/watch?v=DV02RsYR9Qg at least you're active mentally in a good finished narrative that's getting a re release this year
Carter Ortiz
You fail to say why it's bad though. You're just parroting shit.
Thomas Sanders
>saying facts is parroting shit I played the game, it's a fucking open world crafting survival game with generic objectives. Fuck off.
Julian Murphy
Probably because that's a finished game.
Isaiah Mitchell
It's bad because it's hilariously basic, and has no agency for the player, you can't effect the world around you in any sense, the best you can do is traverse through the procedurally generated mundane backdrop. After all that you get no story because it's not in it yet, and might never fucking be in it.
It's boring and is worthless to experience.
David Johnson
I wonder how the art director feels knowing that Everyone loves the art but the gameplay and everything else is complete shit.
Landon Campbell
>we happy few >ctrl f happy jew >no results YOU DISAPPOINT ME Sup Forums
Jeremiah Howard
Read the thread. The story isn't in there yet.
Thomas Anderson
re release is in beta. Go download since it's freeand since you're into unfinished projects but this one will be done before fall unlike WHF so don't you worry
Nathan Sullivan
The story doesn't change the gameplay, fuckwit. I'm convinced you're a developer at this point
Jackson Cox
Read the fucking post, I covered that it doesn't have it, and might not ever have it, so you don't even get that as a justification to experience the shit gameplay.
It's fucking nothing nigga, even shit like Gone Home has more of a justification to experience it, albeit not by fucking much.
Isaac Reyes
...
Ryder Howard
Not buying your shit game isn't autism m8.
Isaac Diaz
Wasted aesthetic;the game
Alexander Kelly
>OP just wanted a good thread about a bad game Not on Sup Forums m8 that only works ironically for games like Andromeda, try harder and pick something of equal caliber
Asher Jones
>stop talking bad about a bad game
Christopher Green
From the video it looked like they added and improved a great deal from what they started with. Maps are no longer grids and there are more setpiece challenges amongst the procedural stuff.
I mean, I can accept if people still find it crap but most of these posts sound like they only play it months back (if at all) and just chime in the same remarks.
Benjamin Gonzalez
That is a terribly charismatic duck...
Brandon Turner
Such a waste of potential. I really wanted this to be the true successor to Bioshock. Just wanted to play a fun fps with a great story. Too bad the devs fell for the early access/survival-craft meme. Boring combat that rivals elder scrolls oblivion and poorly designed gameplay mechanics. 50% of this game is menu management and the other 50% is spent walking to a house/sneaking in/raiding it/go to guy for 2 mins of story, rinse and repeat. The puzzles become annoying once you realize most of them require backtracking to get a item from another house. This makes doing puzzles a chore, which sucks because it's one of the only creative parts of this game. The story is competent enough, too bad it's not finished. Great world and atmosphere, too bad it's wasted on boring gameplay. Skip this game.
Aiden Sanchez
>"If you have been one of the many asking for the survival aspects to be removed from the game, you're in luck!" >they actually added a mode that focuses on the story and combat rather than the survival and crafting >half of the thread is still saying the same shit they said since the beginning Now knowing this, what else is wrong with this game that it was worth dropping?
Jason Evans
>build game around x instead of y >people want y so they remove x >but since the game is based around x it's just shallow now
Ethan Parker
Literal added exploring cuck mode be gentle
Asher Fisher
more like >build game around x instead of y >people want y, so create xy >replaces prominent x objects with y objects, changing the game without breaking it
All it's probably going to be is an easy mode for people who find balancing stat meters and hunting for bullshit in toilets boring, by replacing materials with actual usable objects and removing the meters altogether. Are people just memeing when they talk about Survival Crafting killing the game, or is the game actually so bad that it cannot be saved?
should have just made a bioshock clone and threw the procedurally generated survival bullshit in as a multiplayer thing
Leo Moore
Oh yeah this is a game. I thought it got cancelled by now. Looked fun until I saw it was just like rust or something
Joshua Cruz
geez you just took not even a minute to think of that and WHF developer staff aren't even paying you
Ian Butler
I love when shills come to Sup Forums and get BTFO
Jeremiah Harris
I actually just legitimately liked the "free" copy I got, but so far in this thread all I've been getting is a response within ten seconds of posting getting called a shill. I would just like to point out:
and more, didn't even manage to skim through the video in the OP where the survival and crafting system are fucking gone now.
Lincoln Robinson
I could have sworn that the video said "you can adjust difficulty to exclude or include survival."
Gavin Williams
I'll probably buy the game once it's out of EA
Jason Price
enjoy full price because no way they'll retain $30 once they release. They'll realize people will wait until release because hurr they gotta discount it
