Although Scott doesn’t tell us explicitly what’s in there, he does admit the contents changed over time. The latest book The Fourth Closet also strongly suggests what the contents may be, although the novels are meant to be a parallel AU to the games instead of a 1:1 retelling.

One of the game theory videos that keeps showing up in my recommendations says "WE WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG!" regarding that time Scott explicitly told them they were wrong, something they've been bitter about ever since. Also a month before that video he apparently released one that straight up says "FNAF CAN'T BE SOLVED". I don't know if the dude is as bitter as he seems but god drat arguing with the creator about their own canon is something else

They present an interesting setting and concept and the trailers were very cinematic, and showed some gameplay that involved fleeing from the happiness police or whatever. Then everyone found out that all of that was the prologue and the game in practice is actually some survival sim for some reason. Also it's in early access hell I think, which just suggests to me that they have no idea what they want to do. They had a story conceit in mind and then it feels like they decided what kind of game they actually wanted later, and put it out in early access so they could get some actual money to buy time to figure out what they were making.

You can straight up turn off the survival elements and have a bioshocky experience. I'm enjoying We Happy Few immensely so far. Also it's out of early development as a finished release with a full story now. E: v no, Compulsion was just bought by microsoft this month or last.

Wasn't We Happy Few that ambitious indie game that got bought by Gearbox and they vastly overstepped trying to make it a AAA title? Kinda like No Man's Sky.

It wasn't bought by Gearbox but they were brought in to publish it so you're still thinking of the right game.

Dead by Daylight makes me feel guilty because I keep forgetting its pairing me against new players and I keep dropping higher-tier tactics on them  I had a game where every survivor jumped through a window onto my knife at least once. Plus they keep falling for me letting them heal while stalking, so once they're at full health I can hit EW3 and one-shot them anywayOn the other hand for some reason I can never remember that R1 is the "interact with literally everything" button so sometimed I'll just awkwardly stand in front of a closet trying to remember how to open it  also the controller is taking some getting used to.

I haven't played in a while, but it looks like there's now coherent stories for the playable characters instead of just being a survival sandbox.

Ferrous posted:They killed half the children ? the germans say they will leave(they are losing to the soviets and need the manpower) if they can take all the kids 13 and younger with them, some people say gently caress but are killed by the townspeople and the kids are all sent off to germany, the game never explains what happens to the kids, its implied that germany is losing really bad and needs more population and soldiers(even if they are kids) also as hostages. the entire town, including the player character are complicit in the act. there is a bunch of other stuff too.

Relin posted:bad game buyer alert! bad game buyer alert! i'll do one better and say i backed the loving game, at a pretty high level too. i think with enough patches it can be salvaged but gently caress what a mess. what sucks is it genuinly has some cool and good story ideas and mechanics. if you read some of the dev blogs, you can tell they struggled with the vision of the game a bunch. in the beginning and for a bunch of its life, it was a straight up rogue like. but people(including me) complained that it kinda squandered the setting, so they added more and more story until they added a campaign but they refused to remove the survival because they felt that it would ruin they immersion( its starving society on the brink so i can understand) but they allowed for a alot of difficulty customization. one of the biggest problems is they never got rid of the "random" map generator. so maps are still weird jigsaw pieces with weird ways they can gently caress you over.

Honestly, it just kinda sounds like We Happy Few should've never been made in its current form. It could've been a competent survival based roguelike, people wanted a Bioshock style thriller, and we got some weird chimera that's barely able to support its own weight. At first I found the promise of a complete change in direction admirable, and figured it'd be more fondly remembered than fellow vaguely-horror kickstarter Hello Neighbor in the end. But now I'm seeing why you don't just make a huge change all of a sudden like that.

Hey gang! It's been awhile but hopefully you remember the horror review series I do around here every October. Well, I'm starting early this year by streaming some of the games I'll be reviewing soon. Join me here right now for a look at Unforgiving - A Northern Hymn and whatever else I can get to in the next three hours.

My favourite "We Happy Few" thing is watching people comment like "I refunded this when it was only worth £10 and its now a £40 title? I got screwed". No buddy, you didn't get screwed, you just don't understand the difference between perceived value and actual value.

From what I've seen and read, We Happy Few has a good game at its nucleus, but it's brought down by the half-assed survival gameplay, a lack of focus, and a lot of bugs.
