*I really do hope this game pans out to be amazing, but I wouldn't hold my breath.*

Such a shame, this game looked so good back in 2016

Was really looking forward to this game when I first heard about it and to be honest completely forgot it existed until you posted this. Crazy

Don't pre-order 60 dollar games? No, don't pre-order ANY games.

I hear that the final game will be much, much bigger. They’re adding two new characters with their own storylines, for one thing.

That said, I’m starting to get really worried. I’ll admit the beta does have some tense and thrilling moments later on, and there’s a huge amount of potential, but the last survival game to cost 60 bucks, see delays, and offer great potential was No Man’s Sky, so things aren’t looking up.

We can hope, through. Maybe they’ve been putting all this time to good use, and it’ll turn out like Cuphead.

Anyone coming here after E3 today? WE GOT MORE STUFF!!!!

the release has been rescheduled for this summer! they're really working at it still, they still post weekly updates on their website. i can't speak for them, but i think they haven't put a lot of the features they're going to include in the final version into the early access yet– probably so they can knock our socks off at release. at least, that's what i hope for.

open world survival doesnt fit this game at all. it should have been a linear story game.

[Asian_Import]

The early access version isn’t even 5% of the package. The whole game was basically done and supposed to be released, but they felt like the beginning of the story needed to be reworked, so they delayed it to this summer. I think they know exactly what they want We Happy Few to be, and I’m excited as hell to play it!

It’s been 4 months and you still haven’t fixed the title.

I'm slapping that like button like a ground smashing, hammer throwing, shield bashing titan.

People need to stop calling this an Indie game. Since they got taken in by Gearbox, it's no longer Indie since it's not independently developed and is under Gearbox, and i do not like all the shit that has been 'added' since they went in with Gearbox. I mean i wish them all the best and shit but i am not buying this game until it goes down to 20$ or so.

This game is so interesting! Please do more! I Enjoy your content man👍🏾

I think there's still hope for this game, it's not like they just abandoned it. They're still working on it, and I feel like if they don't massively screw up the game should be pretty good. They revealed a new playable character just after this video came out, and I really like the story/quest system.

I paid about $18 for the game and the full season pass and really enjoyed it

[monsus]

I have spent almost 600 hours into this game and I would hate to see it crash and burn. I still play this game frequently and enjoy it, but gearbox...that's really all I have to say, they have a lot of bad games to their name with little good ones. I'll keep hoping this game makes it and doesn't get ruined.

I've technically stopped purchasing Early Access titles probably about 2016 mostly due to the fact half of them were either abandoned never to be finished, rushed to full release without the majority of listed features to be implemented or just still in Early Access without any significant progression.

Hell I still have a couple that are basically bare bones which are still being worked on that falls into the latter and they've been available at least for 5 years. I don't mind if people still purchase games in Early Access during the early development stages but I can assure anyone I won't do it again. I only buy them now when their almost feature complete and close to full release and so far those have always came out with everything promised so works for me.

Early Access does definitely kill the hype if it takes too long let alone if it just vanishes and gets abandoned which in turn gives the company a bad rep. I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon though but I honestly think they should just ditch the Early Access model and just stick to Beta access which is followed by a release soon after.

Then again I understand some of these companies need the money to pay employee's or the sometimes lone developer who takes time out of their day to work on a game which I can understand. Doesn't mean I still have to like it though because it's not really solid and it can go wrong in so many ways so basically Russian roulette.

I think the fact it turned out to be an open world-ish game when everyone thought it was a story driven linear game like BioShock turned a lot of people away immediately

[voidheart]

That E3 trailer had me and my friends so hyped "dude, I'm getting great Bioshock vibes from this" then we saw one of the horsemen of the apocalypse "Roguelike", needless to say our expectations sunk from then.

Lets not also forget the creators of alien colonial Marines are also working on this project
