Suffering Through: We Happy Few - The Worst Game I've Played This Year 

I'll say the voice acting in this game is really good. Maybe that's where the money went.

I will never understand why this was procedurally generated. It could have been so good, the setting, characters, and plot are so so solid, but they went with a gimmicky, procedurally generated world instead of taking the time and effort to design the levels themselves.

I wish that stories involving things like pharmaceuticals/anti depressants in particular would dive a little deeper on those themes than "pill bad, pill make you ignore things". I see this depicted a lot and it's starting to become dull due to how mis-informed this perspective is a lot of the time. I get that it's fiction but there are still ways to cover this subject matter that aren't so black and white.

“Life goes on. That is the mercy.” Just really hit this weird feeling. That feeling you get when you remember something from a long time ago. And it felt so big, and so important. And it ate up everything you did, everything you thought about. And now it’s just a memory. Nothing really came of it, no big solution or climax. It just disappeared. Idk how to put it. When you think back to these different points in your life. It almost feels like a different life. The bad things you did the good. It’s all just one big second chance. A lifelong mercy.

No arthur is worse. He tricked his disabled brother on that train so he could get out of having to go. Since percy was too old to go being 13. He then stole his passport and ran off almost getting away before the cop stopped him. Who knew he was lying due to percy screaming for his brother and also cuz arthur sucks at lying but the cop was too guilt stricken to put arthur back on the train and possibly remove percy. He has been lying to himself and everyone around him that he was the older brother not percy and he really did want to go but the cop stopped him. His ending is him accepting hes a terrible person who murdered his disabled brother.

Thanks for pointing out how in all likelihood Sally’s supposed tryst with Arthur’s Father was likely a completely non-consensual act his dad inflicted on a recently traumatized teen in his care. Honestly it’s frighteningly believable that a self-obsessed & indignant tool like Arthur would blame her for “seducing” his dad instead of confronting how his grown adult dad, likely twice Sally’s age at the time, should have been more than capable of resisting the “charms” of a teenager when he’s got a wife & two kids. I’d call it an effect of the forgetful side effects of Joy though as the scenes between the two show, Arthur assuredly had the exact same attitude & oblivious reaction at that time.

It always felt like the devs wanted to bolt on all these "cool features" that were popular the the time (crafting, survival mechanics, procedural generation, etc) without actually considering why they were doing it, or how it would fit into an overall idea of game design. The procedural levels especially seemed like a terrible idea, given that it seems like there were talented 3D artists. The entire point of procedural levels is to make the game replayable, but every other aspect of the game seems to discourage replayability.

The best solution I can think of for the story keeping in the three act structure they wanted would be to just tighten it up and cut the fat from other sections: Arthur: His story SOLEY focused on what happened to Percy. After each quest where an original "reveal" happens, instead have him "remember" something knew about his previous life due to the lack of Joy having his memories slowly return. Building up what the masks show the player until the end where you see the train scene play out and realize Arthur is an ass who sentenced his brother to death because he was tired of looking after him. Sally: Her story is focused on the baby and learning that Joy isn't working anymore. It makes sense for her since she has the Blackberry Joy. Please, oh gods, change her backstory for the baby. Like, she was in a CONSENSUAL ADULT RELATIONSHIP and dumped the guy when she realized she was pregnant because panicc. Keep at least the location cutscenes with Arthur the same. If you wanna run unreliable narrator, you can adjust what is said and done in the scenes, but the locations need to be the same. At the end, you learn as Sally that Joy isn't working period, only your Blackberry Joy is actually working. Thus leading to Sally NEEDING to escape with her baby otherwise someone will find out about her baby due to everyone going to her for the Blackberry Joy. This can also work with the baby mechanic in the game. Where you have to go back to feed your kid, sure, but also to distract those addicted to her Joy to keep from breaking in. Enough "bad mother" cards and a cop or downer breaks in and you get a game over because they found your baby. Ollie: His story is solely focused on the island falling to pieces and the food shortage. Keeping, obviously, the epic reveal that Margaret is Jack's daughter and not his. It seemed like the writers put all the reveals in Arthur's section because they were paranoid that people would stop playing after Act 1 and wanted to make sure all the reveals got out. Ironically, due to that decision bloating the game... Yeah, it at least made a bunch of Let's Players drop the game after Arthur's section. But if they had teased the twists in Arthur's section, it'd draw people in to the other two in order to learn the answers. Side note: Arthur is an even worse dick when you consider that Sally was literally asking for a night to pack up her baby's stuff so she could go with. I'm disappointed there was no pay-off for that. Like, he never learns she had a literal baby to worry over and just goes off thinking she was this sl#t who screwed about with older men just for the thrills. (In a negative sense, no shade to anyone who enjoys sleeping about with older men for the thrills. You do you.)

They are called Bobby's after Robert Peel, or basically the first director of police in London. "Bobby's boys" as it were.

I really wish you tried the dlc, only because I share basically all your opinions about the base game. The dlcs honestly feel like they took the conceptual core of the narrative and created vignettes that were authentic to that core. One was silly, one effectively leaned into the psychedelic element really effectively and the last presented the large scale impact of the central scarcity conflict. They each trim the fat of the superfluous mechanics irrelevant to each campaign. They were tight and linear, but that hit much harder than a sprawling and vacuous environment.

The most atrocious thing about this game is that the procedurally generated open world really works against the player (specially if your world has bad rng) because the game is just a glorified fetch quest game and it places your objective really far away and makes it such a hastle to finish, which why the game has a long runtime. I think the story itself is interesting enough to get me invested but the bugs/quests/gameplay pulls me away from the immersion which sucks because i really like the story. The dlcs are what the base game should have been all along and it's the only replayable part of the game for me.

I always find it hilarious when I find videos on this game and they're almost always negative. I genuinely enjoyed this game, and somehow, experienced zero glitches or issues with it while playing it - and mind you, I've played it 3 times. But - not every game is for every person, and you have valid concerns and opinions about the game!

Great video! A lot of quality here! I remember being really disappointed in the game because the concept was really interesting. It just lacked any sort of flavor or spice other than the base concept. I also really wish that the world looked more different with joy, in the opening cutscene taking joy influences the actual things you see a bit more with the rat but in game it just slaps on a slightly brighter filter.

Bioshock had a budget of $25,000,000. We Happy Few had a budget of $200,000, and kickstarters campaigns usually use 2/3 of the budget promoting the kickstarter, so more like $80,000

one point I don't get: if joy is SUPPOSED to suppress memories, how are our characters able to focus on their tasks while on it? Wouldn't it suppress their memories again? make them not desire to fight back because of the euphoria and addictive properties? The fact they act after the opening like taking joy is just like me taking ritalin is weird. Like, is it a psychoactive hallucinogenic drug, or is it merely a dopamine/serotonin booster with amnesia added in?

To be fair Germany managed to capture the capital of Yugoslavia with 6 or so people, one even being a tourist. They simply snuck into the city, took a few prisoners, raised the German flag at the central plaza and told the major that they were already surrounded. He believed them and surrendered. So them believing that the tanks were real back then is not actually all that far off. Everything else about the situation still is of course.

Should've just been a novel

I remember We Happy Few being "the next big indie game" when I was younger, and I admired the aesthetics heavily, and I thought it was truly the shit, but it seemed like nobody played it after we got that demo release. This video was amazing, and finally quenched my curiosity on this game. I seriously think this game could've been VERY good, and it feels like a death of a thousand cuts, chunk after chunk the quality diminished, its very odd how it was fumbled.

Odd that jumping or jogging causes the good folks in town to want to kill you but rummaging through trashcans like a bum doesn't bother them.

You can really see how they tried to recreate Pathologic but failed

Honestly the biggest missed part they could have done would be that you could be forced to take way more joy more often, and each time you overdose on it they could regenerate the map then instead of during each of the sections. The map changing would fit so much better and make sense then

I can’t believe you only have 3.8k subscribers! Excellent video!! Glad to have found your channel and look forward to your future content.

One thing that weirds me out is that all of the guys are wearing jackets but not sure shirts. Wouldn't you rather have the shirt?

This is an unfortunately mixed game; the voice acting and creativity/plot are incredible, but the actual gameplay/mechanics/plot holes/glitches really weight it down. It had the potential to be an amazing game.

Great video! Glad I discovered your channel. Looking forward to the next video.

This is one of those games where I really, REALLY wish it was better than what it was.

Did you notice when Arthur asks why the Germans left the tanks, Ollie interrupts saying "i've made a map" but it sounds like he said "I made em up". In a game about unreliable narrators where the playable protagonists all perceive parallel experiences of the same events I think it's intentional.

I think faraday likes the leather club because leather doesn’t let electricity through as easily as cotton or wool

Hey, this is a really cool video and analysis! I just randomly stumbled upon your channel thanks to the algorithm, looks like you're just coming back from a break and I think you smashed it. I'm curious to see what you put out next, good luck on having this video and your channel blow up. :) As suggested by some other comments, I'd also like to see a follow-up video on this game's DLC and how it compares to the base game. I think We Happy Few is really fascinating to look at for its sheer, stunning amount of unused potential and I'd love to see if the DLC could make better use of it. Cheers!

The art direction 10/10 gameplay 2/10 story 4/10

Oh hi there. Two hour game review/analysis? Don't mind if i do! This was a good two hours - great work. Have a wonderful, joyful day.

Got like an hour into the video before I checked the channel and saw that your not huge, that's surprising this was really good. I love having long videos of people complaining about bad games to listen too while I work. keep it up!

Binge watching most of your channel, it's fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to create and share this content!

You know they could have actually taken the social mechanics somewhere…something that annoyed me while playing was, in the garden district and parade district, me digging through trash cans for scrap to make home made nades out of never, really peeved the bobbies. Like, why not take it there. Would actually make searching the trash cans an active gameplay choice rather then mindless button promt. “Oh I really need x material, but there’s too many bobbies on this street. Let me find a side alley” like, yea no one thought in your social stealth game, digging through trash cans might not be socially acceptable to the posh people of the parade district but the run down village people aren’t gonna care

i really love this game, and i havent watched the vid yet but my only critique right off the bat is how quickly becomes a walking sim. It had great potential but turned into a bunch of fetch quests. Once you have the upgrade that allows you to run in the city without it affecting others, you've beaten anything hard about the game

Hey there! (long comment incoming sorry about that) I got this recommended to me randomly, well maybe not completely randomly, I've been getting into WHF. I was really hesitant to watch this, because I LOVE this game. I've played the main game and DLC and I plan on making at least two video essays on two aspects of the game. But I didn't want to jump to conclusions right away, so I gave it a watch. Every single thing you said about the gameplay, I agree 100 percent. I have to fight for my life to try to get through that. Which, I know is a MAJOR part of the game, so it may seem wild that I love WHF. But I love the story. Its writing, characters, plot points, for me it's all worth it to push through the gameplay. So, needless to say I didn't agree with the comments you made about the story or how the game tells it. But I get that the gameplay will interfere with the story, it may not be a compromise some people are willing to make. And you do make points I agree with, like how there's no logical way for the tanks to have survived that long, or how joy will affect some areas but not other areas that could be just as important. And that some ways they tell the story could have been better fleshed out, like the unreliable narrator. I do think you were a little unfair with the dev team in terms of what work they had put in. It's clear that they had gone through development hell to get this game out and make sure that it was in some way successful. Honestly I wouldn't put it past if some of the core problems came from Gearbox themselves. Not only that, prior to WHF, the dev studio, Compulsion Games, only made one other game with their small team. With how much hype WHF quickly got I'm sure there was this new pressure that they hadn't felt before. It's clear that the dev team were aware of the criticisms that came with the release as its so apparent with the direction they took for the DLC. I don't blame you for not wanting to give Gearbox more money, honestly I just waited until there was a sale to buy them. But, I hope you give the DLC a chance one day as it really shows they listened to the players and really improved as a dev team. It also gives you the vibes that you were looking for in your video and uniqueness in gameplay/combat/not randomly generated and not open world. We obviously have different opinions on the story and if its worth playing the game for that alone, but I respect that you feel so passionate about how much you hate this game. I feel that it's always best to feel strongly about something rather than feel nothing. And I do agree with your complaints about the gameplay. Honestly I think every WHF fan agrees with that, we know its bad LMAO. This video clearly took time and effort and I like that. It's my first video that I watched from you and I definitely wouldn't mind giving your other videos a watch.

I hated everything in this game after deeply wanting to like it. The deal was sealed in act two as Sally, the only woman you could play and the only of any significance was given a rape baby that she needs to snuggle to replenish sanity. Like, thank you devs for thinking only rape creates strong women and that we are baby-crazed people just needing to nurture. I fucking hated that.

Just found your channel through the algorithm on a random Tuesday night, I will definitely be subscribing with the bell and everything. Videos like these are perfect for my commute to work to just listen along Have you considered reviewing any of the AC games, or do you only review traditionally bad games? As fun as being an assassin is, I’ve always felt the AC games to be terribly boring and over fluffed with unnecessary back and forth between objectives, much like this.

This is a great video. I loved watching streamers play the game but never knew how tedious it actually was. Very interesting video, I like how calm you explain things. It's like listening to a mate talk about his interests. Keep it up

Fantastic video! I knew you were going to bring up Pathologic 2 when you played some of the OST in the background, I just had a feeling.

Can't wait to see the next video whatever that may be. This was really well made, hopefully dont habe to wait 9 months for it like the distance between the last two videos

Enjoyed the video. Good luck with your new career. 😎

Yknow your skill points allow you to get certain skills such as making you invisible to Bobbie’s at night or the “oh you!” Skill where everyone in Wellington wells overlooks your obnoxious behaviour meaning you can run and jump without anyone getting suspicious

This game’s story had potential, especially with the arthur side of of the story. The gameplay is just terrible though. I played through like half of it and I remember clipping through the map repeatedly

The background track sounds like the ambient music from Theresia, and that makes me very happy :)

This game is always going to have a place in my heart. I love the game stylization, I love the storyline, I loved the immersion. It has *many* flaws, but it also had a unique feeling to it that no other game has ever given me. The only real crime was when they signed with Gearbox. This game could have been so much better if Gearbox hadn't come in and rushed the work while pushing so much DLC/add-on bs. If Compulsion Games had actually had time to work on it at their own pacing, so much more could have been done. And even so, I am not mad at this game. It's one of my favorites. Always will be.

I was a backer for this. I was a teenager when I did so and I got beta testing. Watching this bc I never actually played bc beta was so incredibly frustrating lol. It’s been like 10 years. I’m almost out of my 20s 😢

I think I share the same thoughts as many others that have played this in that it was a good idea. The concept and lore sounded really interesting and coins have been a deep lore driven story. The execution however… well it could have used just a bit of tweaking, to say the least.

We Happy Few always felt to me like someone tried to make 'The Next BioShock' as their first big project. The story and world feel promising, and like they could be very interesting and engaging, but the gameplay feels like a beta version of a procedural generation tech demo. All it ends up being is a bunch of very promising cutscenes floating in a sea of sloggy quests and potentially-beautiful but thoughtlessly-thrown-together levels. I can imagine a much better version of this game, but I can't imagine a series of events that would allow it to exist.

1:00:40 "She's going to FUCKING KILL US if we keep FUCKING UP!" 😂 Okay the panic screaming was funny. James and Roger were my only two favourite side characters (apart from the dude in the treehouse who has dolls and is a little kooky bastard)

23:30 we actually did do that. US/UK forces set up a “battalion” of a bunch of inflatable & paper maché tanks, planes and soldiers to scare off any Germans doing air reconnaissance

I got we happy few for the plot, and stopped playing cause of the gameplay. The best part of the game was the linear part right at the beginning. If they had just kept the entire game like that I imagine it would've been one of the best games of 2016.

It's amaizing how much worse the game was on release then it was in the little preview demo thing I played at some point. The overly big boring open world is just the worst. Of course pretty much all the mechanics suck, one of my bigger disappointments as the game had such potential as an idea and the little demo thing felt pretty good as a starter.

This game was the last straw for my decision not to pre-order anymore. It also soured my mood for any survival games. I'm sure I'm not the only one either, so congrats dev, you ruined an entire marketing strategy and genre for a few people who are not unhappy.

I remember having a good time with Arthur’s campaign. It really peaked with his story. I still had some fun after that, but the game was definitely starting to overstay its welcome. Still, I wouldn’t call it a bad game. I’d give it a 7 or 8/10. Granted, I did get the game on sale. Haven’t played the DLC stuff yet.

This is the dangers of taking good ideas and letting corporate suits get involved. While a bit of jank and less than stellar gameplay can be made up for with great stories and voice acting, there is a limit. From what it sounds like a lot of the back breaking issues only came about once Gearbox got involved and tried to add things that messed with the intended experience. So rather than a rough around the edges game with some great moments and story: we got more polished and focus tested mechanics and visuals slapped onto a largely bland and limited experience. It can be marketed better but at the cost of the intent. And who knows maybe the story would have always been a written in a way to undercut the pop of ita reveals. And maybe the devs would have always stretched out a three hour story into a 15 hour game. But I have a feeling the game would have felt more cohesive if gearbox never got involved

I frankly never noticed that anything was procedurally generated in all the gameplays I watched of the game, but some of them edited the grindy bits out of the videos, so maybe didn’t catch on to the fact? (Shrug) Interesting video, and hope that they do a better version of the game. I really liked the story elements, and though Arthur was a p.o.sh to his disabled brother, him going through all that trouble to only later not be able to get closure for it was good. You hope he gets redemption, but I got the feeling that his brother was dead long before the game was over and it was futile for him to look. Would have switched the stories around and mixed them up, where you go through their stories more or less simultaneously as you play. 2-3 cycles though, no more than that. This would take care of the issue of padding and get rid of the procedural elements to focus more on the story and survival. Sharing supplies between characters maybe to emphasize the quickly shrinking necessities, and only certain characters can find certain items because of how Joy affects them? Thanks for the discourse dude, and have a great day.

I love "British noises". Loicence to choon, innit!

i just want to say something about the running(if someone hasnt said this before) there is a Perk you can get called "Oh you", but i can understand why its easy fo miss since the game makes the perks really really annoying due to a certain path you can follow and the amount of side quests you need to do over the game to the point when you do get it. Its basically not even useful anymore Other than that!, This video is basically perfect and as someone who played we happy few multipr times and began to see the flaws on my second playthrough, So yeah Great video! subscribing to see what other great videos you got in store!

Doesn't the whole conversation with Arthur from Sally's point of view have different dialogue, not just a different setting? Def some attempt at unreliable narrators. A common theme on this channel seems to be "super cool concept, super bad execution." I remember seeing ads and thinking this game would be so fun to play and explore. The rat piñata in the beginning showing the effects of joy was one of the first things I saw and I was so ready for it. It was screwed up in a "show me more" kinda way. Never had the money for it and kinda glad now. Another great video! Also I had no idea who Randy was but Randy if I see you it's on sight I have nothing to lose

Funnily enough I didn't find out about this game through its marketing or anything like that, but from the VR game where you can watch uncle jack tapes. I was so mesmerized by the aesthetics of it I knew I had to get the game. I just wished the actual game lived up to that. I think if they did away with all the survival stuff and focused only on making a compelling story, I think it would have worked so much better.

I really just found Arthur to be so unbearably insufferable even if the game and story were overall good I'd still not enjoy it. He's not even an interesting jerk he just feels like a wet blanket of a character who hobbles around never really developing or improving. If he became better there'd be some sort of point to his story. It's like every time something interesting might happen the game slams it down and nothing will really come of it. At least if he realized how wrong he was about Sally and tried to improve and her actually helped her there might be something to latch onto but he's like a void of a character who's only interesting point is shown to you early on and the game just kinda sits on it.

if this game had better writers it could have been so good. the story and set up is so interesting and has so much potential and these characters have so much potential to be great morally grey characters too - selfish ppl doing desperate things to survive.

As a classic Roguelike fan, I was really excited with the fiest version we saw, because it really seemed to promise the grit and sparce resources of the roots of the genre, without being bogged down with the Survival/Craft craze of the day, in an action format. Heck, as a NetHack fan in particular, seeing actual, smiling, dystopian Cops coming at you is a delightful throwback to the Keystone Kopps who can come at you with reckless abandon in the OG RL, with tons of cream pies and zero mercy. Even the Joy kinda felt like the Hallucenagen effect that was a staple of old Roguelikes, but taken to their logical extreme. It just... felt more *right* than most modern games that just use "Roguelike" rather haphazardly. (Not that there's anything wrong with Rogue*lites,* there's a reason they're so damn popular, but I see them as having earned their own identity by now, and I crave more misery in my gameplay mechanics apparently) So that was all exciting enough. But then, as it turned out, it seemed like they were torn in two directions between the Survival gameplay and the story they wanted to tell, and made a lesser product by trying to cater to both, until they settled in to the plot proper for the DLC. As much as I just said I liked the original experience sneak peek, I honestly would have way preferred a totally story-driven release first, with an endless/challenge mode follow up. Or at least have the two distibguished. We're never going to get that Roguelike vibe back, and it just didn't have to be that way. It feels like it was a victim of this pack of transparency in our modern business practices- you're supposed to shoot for the maximal outcome, and insist that it WILL be what happens even if things are flagging behind scenes instead of just being realistic, and ensuring quality.

10 out of 10 victory spams: we hope it's not soylent again.

I have 46.3 hours precisely on my Steam account in this game and I finished the main story and I actually loved the game and voice acting and many of The Mechanics. granted I haven't played the game since 2021 which I can also see on my Steam account and stuff you are bringing up I definitely agree with. but I cannot shake that I actually love the game for what it is, I think it also helped that I managed to buy the game for 60% of maybe more? anyway I can sadly not finish this video because this might be false memories but your video is tainting my rose colored glasses from when I played. but I did like your video👍

I watched the whole thing, you saved me $60. I just wanted to comment for the engagement

Glad you got a hit. Your quality warrants more views.

game had a very compelling start but kinda trailed off and stopped making sense. I never finished this game and I don't think i'll bother after watching this haha

Why was Arthurs interaction with Sally different to hers? Like... the area and dialogue was different

great video, the quality of a much larger channel. Wish you all the best

The devs were into something with such a high concept. Too bad their writers were not up to the task. The game got heavily carried into the mid status because the voice actors did a very good job.

I'd read a book based on this story or something similar. I'm a habitual cut scene skipper, I don't read anything or pay attention to dialog when playing games. I have no idea what's happening, and I don't really care to know if I can't read the lore from an outside source like a book. It's the only reason i know halo lore lol The story looks really interesting. Do any of yall have recommendations for similar stories?

Hooked by the opening already and excited to watch this, the production quality is really good but I'd like to ask if would be possible to please add captions to furure videos? I ask not because of audio quality as delivery is really clear so far but because would personally help a lot, although i understand this can be a large task especially after youtube removed user submitted captions. Thank you for hearing me out and excited to watch the rest of this

Watch the entire review, and yes you are right, the game has a great idea, but such a poor execution. And that very much make me sad, because i wanted to like we happy few, simply due to the game lore but atlast lore in games must atleast have decent gameplay.

The way I was literally thinking to myself "wow the occasional bright spots in this game kind of remind me of Pathologic" and then you mentioned Pathologic lol. But of course, while Patho 1 and 2 draw from the same well of survival mechanics, they not only feel relevant there (if you fail to scavenge enough resources you can and will die, but you're also juggling your time between dumpster diving and a million other objectives, creating a great feeling of pressure that it sounds like WHF lacks) but also tie back into the gameplay loop. I think a lot of that has to do with the game's willingness to commit to a linear story and a "closed open world" map. WHF attempts to go both story-driven and procedurally-generated at the same time, which imo kneecaps the effectiveness of either mechanic.

We Happy Few more like Me Awful Game

i LOVE this game and think peopel were too critical of it,it deserves a revamping or sequel imo. the entire setting was genius and unique the artstyle was also very well done, the voice acting was grand

Great content! The game idea was very peculiar, but rough on the implementation, I couldn't make myself finish it. So, I'd rather watch it. Also, is it just me or your voice volume is too low compared to the game audio. I can't help but notice that it's not normalized. I had to turn the volume up and down every time you switch from voice to game audio. 😅

Comments are wild, video is fine

I think if they wanted the thirst and hunger thing optional, it should have been able to been a turn on/turn off thing before starting the game. Like if you want to experience the story and not worry about that you can chose that from the beginning, but you're locked in throughout the game, and vice versa if you leave the option on.

When this game was announced I was excited for it. I thought it would basically play exactly like a bioshock game and i still think the story and world would have fit that type of game play wonderfully.

This game was better before gearbox weaseled their way in i don't think this game would have such a negative impact but since they pretty much forced the 60 dollar price tag and the multiple console releases I believe had they stuck to Microsoft releases and a smaller map it could of been better

WHF is one of the best games i've ever played. It has flaws but you can't say it's a bad game

I would buy the lightbearer or They Came From Below DLC, but that's it. It's waaaaay too expensive at $85.

Is there anything you like, Jim? Or had the cynic character that you created for the channel finally taken you over?

I remember this game, I watched the whole play through when it was out. Don't know if I enjoyed the play through or just occupying my time.

I dont know why the comment section is so anal about your cynicism, I live for negative criticism in shitty games. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.

A couple hours ago from me posting this, there was an announcement/leak that claimed that the next BioShock game is going to be an open world game. And I have absolutely no idea why they would ever do that because an open world BioShock game is what We Happy Few is. And it sucked.

The date is literally on the calender on his desk.

Super funny you have the same accent in the ppl in the game haha

the cyberpunk respect Let me know Your Opinion is Valid

It's a shame what happened. I loved the version that Mr. Odd was playing, but that's not the version that everyone got.

I’m currently on the 3rd act towards the end and I love it but mostly due to the compelling world and lore.

As I would say, and like the RU-vidr howard said. “A good story.. Weighed down by a pathetic game.”

It’s just to confusing but the animation is off the charts.

What happens if you just take the pill at the start?

i remember being excited for this. started my playthrough and i realized about 3 or so hours in, i was bored. Often I'm pretty good about holding on until something really drags. this did not fail to make me bored to the point of yawning. when I realized i was playing a shitty game i was bummed. at the time i remember it being kind of a dry spell game wise for me. so it blowing hard hit even harder in that regard haha.

I have way too many criticisms based on meagre observation but it firmly falls into that classic of being a few great ideas that had nothing in common cobbled together and immediatley falls apart because theres no foundation. British bioshock isnt a bad idea, Pathologic inspired gameplay and open world dystopia retro punk isnt a bad idea, a parody of a country is eh but it can be done. But unless you have all of them tigthly combined and ready to launch from inception then you're fucked. its so much harder to fix a foundation by building up and outward unless you destroy it and start over with the same materials.

We can all have our takes but can you honestly say that you hate we happy few more than hunt down the freeman because that is just pretty objectivly a bad take. Hunt down the freeman was just a complete mess we happy few tried but usually fell short of expectations.
