I've seen some people complaining that Arthur's story is pointless and that he does nothing. Honestly I think that's far from the truth. If Arthur hadn't become a Downer he'd never have spoken to Sally and specially Ollie. And by doing so he gave them purpose to pursue their own goals, Ollie specially, after all he was the one who freed Wellington Wells. In the end Arthur was the most important character in this game.
Plus, Arthur's story provides the most worldbuilding, being especially important in regards to explaining how and why everything is going to shit regarding the Joy going bad.
Well, mostly. Arthur discovers that Verloc was planning to lobotomize the people of Wellington and that the German tanks were actually made of papier-mâché
While I've never played this game myself, I have watched playthroughs, and i gotta say, this is one of those games that i hold really dear to my heart, the story, the characters, everything is just so amazing and memorable. I really wish they made a sequel or a prequel, because the story seems kind of unfinished the way it is, I really want to know the background story down to every detail, and I want to find out what has become of Percy. The only other game that stuck with me like this one is detroit: become human.
If your looking for the scene that invokes the constables, it is at 4:22:56. In my opinion it is one of the best scenes in the game. Also can anyone give me the link that shows just ONLY this scene?
Does the game honestly expect me to buy that in the days those tanks were sitting out, just lying around, it never rained on them? They would've been turned to soggy PULP and the whole ruse would've been uncovered! And this is England, it rains all the time! Not to mention game, you expect me to buy that nobody ever threw a rock at them? Nobody ever took a shot? Nobody even remotely considered going out there to investigate whether or not those tanks could be sabotaged? That's simply unbelievable.
I mean you do have a fair point, but remember this is a game in an absolutely unrealistic reality, for example there is no way in hell if The soviets won the war, we would take “joy”, and downers being put in a law-less region... anyway you get what I mean, as I get what you mean.
I think it's implied that Byng and the Headboys protected, repaired, and maintained the paper mache regularly considering how newspapers were and are still heavily in circulation during the game's events. Considering how they seem to not really do anything, it would explain wtf they do to pass time.
man this atmosphere is really screaming old dr who to me like the trash bins and the police boxes and the badly colorful sixties vibe...even the overwhelming happiness reminds me of the candyman storyline
My favorite sidemission is when the cannibalistic butcher forces you too process a human body and send the meat through pneumatic tubes against your will.
I always wanted to hear stories from the war of an American GI fighting alongside the Russians on the Eastern Front against the Germans, or personal manifestos and diaries of conscripted Englishmen fighting the U.S.-Soviet alliance. Impossibilities of this scenario ever happening aside, such a concept should not be ignored as it is in the game
I love Ollie’s accent! Scottish and Irish accents are very enjoyable to listen to and very pretty. I especially love it when Ollie gets angry and rants.
Are those pills supposed to be drugs or happy pills. Also when I saw the trailer and when the game was call "happy few" I thought the pills he ate were happy pills.
The pills are actually a drug called Joy. The drug themselves aren't exactly Happy Pills but they're damn near- causing you to feel extremely happy and only see a perfect world, ignoring the fact that everything is going to shit around you because you can barely remember where your house is. Think of getting so stoned off weed that you can barely think and only smile, and that is every single day of your life. They also are some nasty contraceptives which basically turns all baby-making to dust, since the idea of children brings back bad memories.
“Dont be a great girls blouse!” Omfg I nearly cried thats what my nan always said to me if I was overreacting over something oh my god I miss her greatly fuck 😭😭
This game sucks and it's so frustrating to play. I wish developers actually new how to make enjoyable Gameplay mechanics. Glad you made a video so I don't have to carry on playing the game and just watch it without frustration.
thats the point. Arthur and sally and Ollie have all been so strung out on joy that they tend to hallucinate visually and auditorially. Sally however has been off her joy for longer, and its theorized that her version of events is more accurate.
Regardless of how you play, the cutscenes are tailored to a specific model of gameplay for each character. Arthur's cutscenes are focused on a gameplay where you're routinely taking Joy to survive, and to kill everything in sight (hence his growing aggressive attitude). Sally's is focused on the wastrel and downer areas moreso than the town itself, so clearly not only is she not on Joy but her intended gameplay is that you don't need to take it at all.
30 days??? What... Dude I am waiting for this game from Alpha. I know it's super expensive the game like 60 bucks. Honestly I better do double shifts on work only to get this from steam.

Yes, Arthur has an interesting story.
@ what the point?
Well, mostly. Arthur discovers that Verloc was planning to lobotomize the people of Wellington and that the German tanks were actually made of papier-mâché
@@MisterJohnDoe yep
The two ladies : Awww, afraid to fight a girl?
Arthur: *throws Danny's body at them and proceeds to bludgeon them with a bat*
-To be fair, you did copy my article line by line.
-Nobody... remembers what they read!
Marc-André Voyer OOF! Look like he took too much joy!
Ollie also made Victoria bing come off her joy which made her realise how bad they are for people.causing everyone to go off their joy
H

This game is criminally British

Dominique 9325 I haven’t even got a PS4 and Detroit become human is literally one of the most amazing games I’ve ever seen
Dominique 9325 this really is such a good game. Definitely give it a try if you ever get the change, its truly unique
Processing is on TH-cam's end. The video is 1080p. Just got to give it time and whatnot.
You sure? Still 360p. Not normal after three days of processing...
RabidRetrospectGames This video sucks! No matter what I do, I can't pass the 50 minute time without it freezing up!
it's still processing?
That's your internet's problem, mate. I can see the video fine on all my comps and even signed out. It's on your end.
6 days still processing... yeah right 1080p
I love everything about We Happy Few APART from the fact that its a goddamn survival game. It just feels straight up wrong in a game like this.
Yeah truly.
I think its good as a suvival game
You can pretty much disable the survival aspects.
Yeah but it’s mostly story driven
Yus! Now I can watch the game without the part where players scavenge for hours on end and do sidequests!
Knuk Playz ikr its great
True :))
Same lmao 😅
Some of the side quests aren’t that bad
Crimson Lancer I know like the nick light bearer side quest
If your looking for the scene that invokes the constables, it is at 4:22:56. In my opinion it is one of the best scenes in the game. Also can anyone give me the link that shows just ONLY this scene?
charles Markcray I got one if you need it!
@ 19:38
Guy's unconscious.
Still knows how to shimmy.
: D
that headboy knows well hhow to shi

SaintHeartwing tbf you would have to get past a FORTIFIED BASE AND DOGE -BULLETS- BAYONETS.
Waterproofing
5:45:26 memory so traumatic that his daughters ghost appears in a T-pose
Do I find it funny that Ollie has someone looking at him while he’s touching his bits
Where?
Johnny Topside pause, on the left side you could see the right leg and arm
man this atmosphere is really screaming old dr who to me like the trash bins and the police boxes and the badly colorful sixties vibe...even the overwhelming happiness reminds me of the candyman storyline
Holy shit the ending though never expected that made me actually sad...
Looks like We Happy Few didn’t get a happy ending
Uncle jack was margrets father I guess he’s daddy jack
Uncle jack was the biggest downer of them all
This game is painfully underrated
3:38:00 ---> casual conversation while a lady is being murdered offscreen lol
Goddamn old lady NPCs
6:21:59
Bunch of daft twa-
*RELEASE THE BEES*
8:03 "probably a bad time to ask for that raise."
That last, "you're always right" hit me so hard
This game has been in early acces for years, and I liked it then, I like it more now
Welp.....
That's 7 hours I'm never gonna get back....
this game is darker than i thought
tactical turkey Just take your joy.
"opens joy box" right as rain sir right as rain
My favorite sidemission is when the cannibalistic butcher forces you too process a human body and send the meat through pneumatic tubes against your will.
Takes joy what are on about ?
tactical turkey are you not taking your joy?
Sorry, I think this is missing Lies? It’s the flashback you get after picking up the mask from the church in the first island of the Garden District.
I am emotionally devastated...thanks for uploading.
Megan Milligan take your damn JOY!!!
We got a fucking downer here!
I always wanted to hear stories from the war of an American GI fighting alongside the Russians on the Eastern Front against the Germans, or personal manifestos and diaries of conscripted Englishmen fighting the U.S.-Soviet alliance. Impossibilities of this scenario ever happening aside, such a concept should not be ignored as it is in the game
I thought this would never come out lol
The bobbies remind me of Civil Protection from Half Life 2.
. . . Oh God the flashbacks
Civil Protection: You! Citizen! Pick up that can!
Wellington Wells Bobby: I say, be a good sport and pick up that soda can!
Well, both games take place in dystopian societies
Just wanted to say thank you for playing the game and uploading this :) Not looking to enter the contest
Damn you’re a hoarder you pick up any and everything.
The irony that as I wrote this, @1:54:19 I hear this.
"Should we just take everything?" plus your comment killed me.
I love Ollie’s accent! Scottish and Irish accents are very enjoyable to listen to and very pretty. I especially love it when Ollie gets angry and rants.
Video was uploaded 10 days ago and still only 360p. Can't be processing issues that late can it?
Almost 7 HOURS they added a lot to this game can't wait to play it.
YESYESYESYES! Many have been waiting for this. IVE been waiting for this. Thank you so so much!
“It’s making noises! That’s promising!”
-Famous last words
*I broke the pause button*
I AM FULL WITH THE FURY OF THE LORD AND I AM RIGHT WEARY WITH HOLDING BACK
3:30:22 - When you almost get killed by running home to put out a fire.
6:04:08 - Dead body lying on the floor
Constable: *I sleep*
Can someone tell me what songs starts to play around 2:30:13 ? I've heard it before but I don't know the name of it.
Never mind, I found it!
th-cam.com/video/X7oV0VXBmh4/w-d-xo.html
It's in the soundtrack\music playlist for this game.
6:20:59 - Margaret, darling, we're well past that...
This game reminds me of Brave New World
I really hope all 3 of them meet up again in either DLC or a sequel.
@RabidRetrospectGames can you please confirm if there will be 1080p?
Oh lovely, I’ve got my plans for today now, thank you
no one has finished this game i appreciate this so much
You can alter the size of subtitles, right?
Yes.
4:22:56 Oh.. How magnificent.... Lovely day for it!
Ty for uploading! I wanted to see the full story without being dragged out, or waiting a couple days to see the next part!!
Don't you think it's annoying it literally is just gameplay and not the actual cutscenes?
only 360p???
For a 6 hour video, it's going to take a while for youtube to process this up to HD
A week later?
Are those pills supposed to be drugs or happy pills.

Margareth is like Anna Frank
This video need more likes It so good, Sadly I don't have enough popcorn
The flowers are turning a terri-
REDACTED
I think the two scense of sally asking for the cod liver oil are off.
I have been waiting for this game
Does the dialogue cut out for anyone else at 5:08:00?
What a long game
"I Sing The Body Electric" mission is a reference to Lana Del Rey's song, Body Electric. Right?
Arthur is the true hero of the game since he is willing to risk his life just to save his brother
The train memories and beginning of the game are the scariest parts.
Why is it still only 360p!? ugh.
Snug as a bug on a drug
survivor among survivor in game!GWEN THE BABY!
So the man you fight at the very beginning is Uncle Jack?
KaiShadowFox yeah
King Calcium at what time?
9:25
No, uncle jack's name is jack...
jack worthington whats your point?
3:38:35 lol
3:05:04 you walked right past the mask that gives you a cutscene
Minute 5... Still buffering..
“Dont be a great girls blouse!”
Omfg I nearly cried thats what my nan always said to me if I was overreacting over something oh my god I miss her greatly fuck 😭😭
what happens if he takes the joy at the beginning?
the game ends-
I am the king of the downers
😡 SIR ARE YOU ON YOUR JOY
Okay- The subtitles aren't _bad_ but they're pretty loose with how they go with it... It seems moreso Americanized dialogue
This game sucks and it's so frustrating to play. I wish developers actually new how to make enjoyable Gameplay mechanics. Glad you made a video so I don't have to carry on playing the game and just watch it without frustration.
SilverIlly3 downer
In Act 2, why is Arthur in a playground instead of Sally's apartment? This game sure has no respect for consistency.
thats the point. Arthur and sally and Ollie have all been so strung out on joy that they tend to hallucinate visually and auditorially. Sally however has been off her joy for longer, and its theorized that her version of events is more accurate.
Regardless of how you play, the cutscenes are tailored to a specific model of gameplay for each character. Arthur's cutscenes are focused on a gameplay where you're routinely taking Joy to survive, and to kill everything in sight (hence his growing aggressive attitude). Sally's is focused on the wastrel and downer areas moreso than the town itself, so clearly not only is she not on Joy but her intended gameplay is that you don't need to take it at all.
that is definitely true. you start the game with three sunshine and you already knowing the recipe for it.
WhAt time?
The game plays with the fact that memories are volatile and aren't very good at representing what truly happened. Also, Joy affects memories
5:24:36
Personal use
what happens if he does not censor the news?
30 days??? What... Dude I am waiting for this game from Alpha. I know it's super expensive the game like 60 bucks. Honestly I better do double shifts on work only to get this from steam.
Katzy Gonna be honest, it's as content heavy as any other $60 game
DeciDoesNothing and at least double the bugs 😂👌
@@Souperfro So still less than Berthesda?
People in town are getting a tab bit skinny. I think their starving to death. And they painted the city in fucking rainbows. Lmao, Ollie is lit.
This game reminds me of 1984 by George Orwell
Wonder if that inspired it?
There amount of f-bombs in We Happy Few top Tsar Bomba
Victoria byng tied up is basically me screaming on my parents cuz they block my pc for bad grades
"gIvE mE mY jOYYyYyy-"
2:50:10 Of course!...
He was looking through the window and guy stabbed the guy with a horse needle and says oh Hi Arthur that’s crazy 😝
2:19:55 I literally slammed my head against my desk
Um why
1:59:04 fucking apprentices
I wonder what's left of Scotland?
Can u re upload higher quality
5:17:55 $@&%ety @#$% in a buckety bucket!
KKKKKK
Who else think Arthur and Sally shall be togheter?
he quite literally said "Fuck you, im out"
That’ll make the story less interesting and not as good
Screw sally she fucked his dad
also these aren't cutscenes, it's just gameplay
Why is it in 360p
PIPER. Maclamont
TH-cam processing. Long videos that come out recently need time to come out in better quality on the site.
It's a movie
So, how was it overall?
Wait so Sally has a kid ?
I just watched this for 4 hour but I didn’t finish this game yet
7:50 me: ‘vomits again’ STRAWBERRY WHY NO CHOCOLATE ☹️
*Knocks out a man who was peeing*
It's better this WAY
YOU MUST TAKE YOU'RE JOY IMMACULATELY
have you done an accident that's not you're fault?
Christ the never ending fuckmothering Monty Python REFERENCES!!!!
7 hours of my life I'll never get back
5:23:30.
Have you take your Joy, sir?
