We Happy Few Seven Months Later

Josh Griffiths writes: "It's been seven months since We Happy Few hit early access. It was deemed a failure, a game releasing far too early. How has it come along since then?"

Haven't played it since the Early Access release, might be time to check it out again.

I'm going to wait until it's officially released before I even spend any time playing it

it's sad to hear the Early Access has gotten negative response because it may cause me to not even purchase the final product if a lot of it is just design issues.

I was really looking forward to this because MS touted it as a big time game and it looked so much like Bioshock in its artstyle.

After you play the first sequence of the early access (which was shown initially as the trailer) it becomes a pile of junk. The gameplay and overall quality of the game made it look like it was in a pre-pre-alpha phase.

one of the developers recently said that full game will have proper cutscenes (just like in the beginning of early access game).
hope that helps.

if you paid attention to literally *any* marketing beyond that 1 sequence you would have known that it isn't anything like Bioshock and never intended to be. That's your own fualt.

"...and it looked so much like Bioshock in its artstyle."

Even a 5 year old could have read and understood that sentence in my comment. If you're gonna troll, try harder next time.

Princess_Pilfer3032d ago

I'm not trolling, and you don't get to back pedal. So you were dissapointed because it shared an art style with bioshock, even knowing it wasn't supposed to be anything like bioshock? that's hardly better sweetie.

"Here's our game today that you can play in a state that makes it hilariously unlikable! See you in 2+ years when it's finally finished and you're all burnt out on playing the garbage as it limps along to completion!"

Early Access needs to get lost already. For every time it works mildly well, there are 1,000 others that are just hilarious monstrosities that turn in to nothing.

If you need early access, and your customer base to guide you through "how to make the game good"? Maybe you should consider a change of careers. You're not a good game designer.
