They're trying again after Lords of the Fallen,
but they clearly still don't understand why Dark Souls was so great.

At least the gameplay is much better now.

What is this game even about

>>377071549
Hacking dudes to pieces so you can wear the bits you sliced off.
That's pretty much it.

>>377071796
No I mean like what's the premise

The gameplay looked pretty bad if I'm being honest. Environments certainly didn't look like anything visually striking either.

>>377071796
Even when you cynical assholes do your thing it still sounds good.

>>377070123
is it as shit as lords of the fallen
i got it for free in the ps+ bullshit and i still wanted a refund
your attacks were so slow and you couldn't jump behind enemies because they could crack 180 degrees and one-hit kill you regardless of weapons or armor, and it didn't matter if you hit them because their health was ridiculous
the surge looks faster but the enemies seem just as shit and the weapon animations seem way to long

>>377071906
You're a dude in a wheelchair hired by some future tech company who primise you'll walk again with their exoskeleton thingie.
After a torturous surgery you wake up and from there on you fight dudes and take their parts.

There's some audiologs but nothing actually interesting.

>>377071549

Dark Souls but in a boring industrial complex and playing as a boring guy who has a powered exoskeleton literally bolted to his body and implants jammed in his head.

>>377072362
He asked is it as shit, but he didn't use any punctuation.
He said he got Lords of the Fallen for free.
Then he even said the Surge looks faster.

Everything but the last line was talking about Lords, though. I had to reread it too.

>>377072268
I spent 84 minutes with it according to Steam, it's alright. Definitely slower than souls but it feels like staggering things and backpedaling to bait their attacks and recover stamina is the name of the game. I'm playing with the heavy frame and have been fucking around with weapon types.

It's not bad so far, just very generic. Targeting limbs is cool for now, though.

That's why I said, they don't understand what made Dark Souls.
They just make a half-assed attempt at the background to weakly explain why the premise exists.
There's no depth or artistic vision, just an excuse for the gameplay.

>>377071121
Why are they so obsessed with making a Souls clone?

>>377073530
Dark Souls is good because of the overall experience.
Everything is part of the artistic vision.
Music, artstyle, gameplay, background, lore ...

It's not one singular thing but the game as a whole.

The Surge might have amazing gameplay, but ultimately it doesn't amount to more than "fun for a few hours" because it's lacking in everything else and just feels bland and lifeless.

Been watching streams and the gameplay looks pretty decent but everything else is so bland. The world, the main character, the enemies, aesthetics. Boring as fuck.

They could not have picked a more boring setting.

>>377073769
Lesser studios copy what's successful because they have no original ideas of their own.

>>377073769
Because the genre is pretty barren and it's a money magnet. The game gets sales just from drawing comparisons to the series.

I just want to know why this game looks like shit.

It just looks so fucking bland and generic. Everything about it from the setting to the main character to even the gameplay looks barebones and boring.

The fundamentals of the game are sound, it looks good and plays well and the level design isn't terrible, but it suffers from not being remotely compelling. Half the appeal of the soulsborne games is the fantastically weird lore and attention to detail, the surge is just "you're a robot man and you kill robot men for parts in a spooky factory" who fucking cares.

With the great combat system multiplayer should be a given, but they didn't even attempt it. Wasted potential. Definitely worth a buy when it goes on sale, but it doesn't meet its own potential.

>>377072690
The Surge is going to kill itself when players realize that there's no depth and the game is barely 20 hours long.

>western video game
>generic boring straight white man protag wearing big clunky armor

Every time.

Lords of the Fallen was not received very well.
What do we do next?

Let's do the same thing but in the future.
The customizable power armor from Fallout 4 was cool, let's do that too.
Remember Elysium? Lets give the player an exoskelleton thats bolted into his flesh through his clothes too even though that makes no sense.

What about story?

Who cares?

>>377072850
Thanks anon!

>>377074215

The protag is beyond generic. He's so whitebread you learn literally NOTHING about him aside from the fact that he's a cripple. He has zero personality, zero motivation, zero reason to fucking care about anything that happens to or around him. The few times he speaks it's to say the most neutral things possible.

>>377074815
It has no DRM. Both the devs and publisher dislike DRM. Lords of Fallen was published by a Polish company that loves Denuvo.

What would you guys rather have developed

Another fantasy souls, space souls, or pirate souls.

the big problem I have with this game is how it looks.Why did they choose this style? Why the jumpsuit? Even if they copied Elysium, Elysium looks 10 times better than this.

>>377074215
You mean just like every souls game?

>>377074995

None of the above.

Soulsborne-esque games are already a tired and overdone "genre" that needs to be put to bed.

What other games feature cyberkinetics? All I can think of is Too Human and Space Siege but iirc they both suck.

>>377075013
Nope. It has a character creator so it can be anything. Try again retard.

>>377075013
Souls you can make your character.

Also in souls your character is not really a character, as he doesn't talk or interact with anything, it's a tool.

>>377072403
There are both. Have you watched any gameplay?

>>377075595
Depends on the game.

>>377075595
The gameplay is alright, it's just weird that a guy who is only introduced as a cripple is ripping people's limbs off with no context

>>377075335
because there is little to no innovation with each iteration of the games, if they want to make another souls type of game it had better be very different and there needs to be changes to the gameplay to make it fresh again, I would absolutely love another souls type game but if playing the game becomes predictable and it feels like I'm going through a checklist then it isn't interesting any more

>>377074215

How do you know he's straight.

>>377075326
>>377075330
Yeah but aesthetically I find my examples closer to Surge.

Why don't they just put Souls esque combat in a more traditional rpg? Like they have towns with shops and shit, direct storytelling.

>>377076479
Dragon's Dogma.

>>377075595
Possibly yes, but then don't try to pull some kind of shit story about a cripple who gets some brain surgery without anesthetics, doesn't have any issue murdering people 5 seconds after realizing in a full deadpan fashion "Wow, I can walk again." At least have him freak out a little bit, try some moves, maybe fumble as he tries to jump, which the weight of the armor and the way it's put on makes it impractical/impossible and fall on the ground.

If you don't want to give a shit about the story, then don't write something that should be handled well and have some fucking thought put into it, and into making it look good.

It's probably easier and cheaper to construct an exo-skeleton suit than a full power armor.

>>377073342
>They just make a half-assed attempt at the background to weakly explain why the premise exists.
So gameplay is the only thing different from the souls games then.

>>377077237
Probably not the director so much as Tom Cruise himself.
This is also a general thing in a lot of Hollywood movies. Masked heroes, etc. never stay that way because prima donnas want the public to see their face so they know its them.
(Also, to give them some credit, its hard to get across some emotions when you cut the face out of the equation).

Dredd was the first flick in a long long time where the character who was supposed to be masked actually stayed that way.

Ive seen more fromdrone counter shilling than anything else.

I think there's merit in the gameplay they came up with for The Surge.

The only problem is that their solid gameplay is set in an incredibly boring world and there's nothing special about it. Actually, there's hardly anything. It's incredibly barebones.

They went with a fixed protagonist, which usually has the advantage that you can give him actual personality but they didn't do that. He has no personality whatsoever. I don't even know why they bothered voicing him.

I actually thought how they introduced him and how they surprise you with how he's disabled was pretty clever, but that impression doesn't last long.

The whole intro sequence is a 10 minute display of wasted oportunities.

You roll up to a display of two suits, pick one and get thrown into the game.

>>377071121
Their boss design hasn't improved, their enemy design hasn't improved, their level design has improved but they decided to make it all drab and literally on rails. The enemies are DS2 level sponges and they don't know what a well rounded color palette is.

>>377083871
No multiplayer, no story, no character customization beyond parts and the game is barely 20 hours long. If you're really good you can probably cut that time in half (pun intended).

Not him, but Dark Souls 2 had the best animations in the franchise. It is the only souls game where the character doesn't try to break his neck when he rolls or doesn't try to break his arms when swinging a scimitar.

That's because you're used to shit souls games where every enemy swinging is telegraphed by a 10 minute wind-up animation. Nobody swings like that IRL, it's beyond retarded, actual footage of people swordfighting shows that good fighters barely telegraph anything at all.

This game is closer to Gothic when it comes to enemy wind-ups and attacks and that's a very good thing.

>>377088046
Spread this on social media so noone buys the game!!!! We must stop them from being allowed to portray minorities as villains!

So I played it for about two hours just now, and I wasn't all that impressed. The combat was better than Lords of the Fallen, but nothing about the world is making me want to explore it. Just defeated a shitkicker of an enemy with fast stabby weapons and got them, only to find that when you use them they're basically toothpicks that do shit for damage; even with a heightened attack speed I could do more damage in two swings of pretty much any other weapon in the time it would take me to hit something five times. Maybe it's better upgraded or there are other good fast weapons, but I have the sneaking suspicion that anything that isn't big, slow and heavy-hitting is going to be utter trash in this game.

>>377088159
>I care about good gameplay.
And that's what good gameplay is. Gothic games have even shorter wind-up animations and a drastically shorter reaction window compared to this and require you to actually have good refelexes and focus on the fucking combat mentally to win challenging fights, especially against multiple monster enemies.

The game is pretty fun so far, I'm a few hours in and the combat seems very fun. It's much faster than the videos led me to believe it would be, by the way.

Is this the first protagonist in a wheelchair ever in a videogame?

>>377088827
LotF stood out for at least a little while as the most unashamed Souls-clone at the time.

>>377088976

Harman Smith from Killer 7 and Bentley from Sly Cooper, just off the top of my head.

>>377089198

Bentley is hardly a protagonist, he doesn't become the protagonist just because you can control him here and there.

Not familiar with the other one, though.

>literally saying the game is too hard because it has strong enemies while at the same time saying he already played too much Souls games

My. Sides.

>muh gothic
get that no hit reaction pc trash out of here. When skyrim does a better job of conveying animations you fucked up.

>>377089519
This is why Bethesda stopped sending out review copies. Gaming "journalists" are fucking retarded and should be ignored.

>>377089584
>Gothic games
>no hit reaction
>when every single Gothic and Risen is notorious for everyone and their dog having exactly zero "poise", so every hit you land or take interrupts the enemy's or your actions
You haven't even played the games, idiot.

This nu-male is the villain?I figured he'd be the guy who knows whats really going down, and tells you whats up.He reminds me of that asshole on the TV's in infamous 1.

is it true the game only has like 5 bosses? If so they dropped the ball hard there, like 75% of what makes these games work is good boss fights

>>377074146
>no depth
Maybe
>barely 20 hours long
Most of the Soulsborne series is actually around 20 hours long, but it's all covered up by extreme difficulty and bullshit bugs to make it seem long for the average Soulsborne consumer ie, you, sony niggers, 12-year olds.

>>377089519

>Pro: Level design

What did he mean by this?

>>377089717
>is it true the game only has like 5 bosses?
Yes, the devs have specifically said that fighting bosses is not the point of the game. It focuses on trying to make every enemy challenging and this is something dumbfuck reviewers, who probably got used to easy as fuck and borderline retarded souls enemies, are complaining about already.

The game has much less in common with souls games than people meme here.

>>377087108
Plz help.

>>377089878

People complained that Nioh had too many boss battles and too few enemies. People now complain that The Surge has too many enemies and too few boss battles. They then proceed to complain about Dark Souls for "repeating their own formula".

Gamers like to complain. You'd never see a music buff complain that AC/DC songs all feel the same.

>>377090131
People 100% complain when a music group makes songs that all sound the same.

Example: Dragon Force

>>377087269
The only souls game where player character runs like someone who shat their adult diaper.

Though I suppose that doesn't look that weird to you, does it? Faggot.

Download WanaCryptor, all new releases are zipped with this.

>>377089818
ARe you memeing or actually BTFOing yourself

Level Design involves the encounters, pathways and complexity of the level. Locations would be the visual elements and art-direction

>>377090780
Dark Souls 1 is the only souls game where the running animation isn't retarded. 2, 3, and Bloodborne have shit running animations.

i feel confident in saying the game is trash just based off the animations alone.

Bloodborne/Souls/Dogma is how you do weighty animations, not this molasses shit

>>377090131
ACDC is a bad example, everyone complains about them making the same album for the last 30 years. There is a reason ratings started dropping around the 7th LP.

>>377089772

I personally beat DaS3 in like 14 hours or so. The only Souls game that took me long was DaS1, and that was because it was my first Soulborne game.

There's a reason speed runners can finish these games in under an hour. Going from the starting point to a boss takes like 30 seconds if you know what youre doing.

Yeah, but do it right.

That actually sounds pretty fun. Some of the "midboss" tier enemies in the souls don't fuck around and were fun to fight.

>5 bosses
>5 enemy types
>1 location

I'm up to the second boss and it has been a shitload of fun sofar. If you think enemies have too much HP, upgrade your weapon and stop R1 like a retard. Combos exist for a reason, learn the weaknesses of the enemy types and you can consistently threeshot them.

Do it.

>>377093631

People are missing the whole idea of targetting weak spots, using appropriate damage types (crushing, slashing, elemental etc) and doing combos as well as executes.

I legitly found the Outrider knights more difficult to fight than most of the bosses in Das3. Those fuckers have deceptive weapon hit boxes and are like a more agile Dancer and they can fucking jump at you if you just spam roll backwards.

I thought the intro of it (the whole wheelchair segment) was neat but the game's pretty underwhelming so far. I'll just keep playing for a bit and if it picks up and is of decent length, I'll definitely give it a buy. Lords of the Fallen was criminally short and I regret buying that despite only for a pittance.

>>377089198
Wouldn't Garcian Smith be the main protag?

>>377093612
>5 bosses
You have got to be shitting me. Is the game really that short? Are the bosses great at the very least? The reason I dread the thought of playing LotF is because the game is so goddamned painfully short.

>>377094270

The game is 25~50 hours long and NG+ changes enemy placements and adds new loot. Relax.

The game is 49659 times better than LotF.

>>377094328
How many locales are there to explore?

Did any of the streamers go into ng+ to see what's different?
