The Surge is not a Darksouls game.

In the same way how C&C is not a Statecraft game.
Or how SMT is not Pokemon.
And Unreal is not Quake.

So here is a challenge.

Explain why you don't like it wo comparing it to dark souls.

Because pretty much all complaints iv seen so far are how its not exactly like dark souls.
>>
>>377239737
not comparing games to similar entries in the genre is a quick way to fuck yourself over when you're explaining the game to another person

on that token, your character plays slower and hits look less effective visually than any other modern action rpg i like, including fucking monster hunter

this game has not enticed my dollar. don't challenge people to talk themselves out of buying it, just shill it to them like a normal marketer

This. I pirated the game and I don't like it, too fucking boring but god damn people just need to stop comparing it to souls when it's nothing like it. In an earlier thread someone said that Souls was the game that added lock-on, difficulty, and map shortcuts into one bundle and I honest to god believe everyone comparing it to souls because of this is underaged as fuck.
>>

95% of its mechanics and features are ripped straight out of souls. it's a fucking clone.

calling something a clone of an already successful work for trying to literally copy the formula for free money is a valid accusation and, since you knew Doom had clones, has been a valid accusation since the beginning.

Doesnt involve picking stuff up from your corpse after you die. It also consists of a set of levels rather than one world you explore. You dont customize your character in any way besides picking one at the start and then changing weapons. I bet you knew all that but still banked on the fact that nobody actually played Severance, they just namedrop it.

I have a pretty good sense about this shit too but I've picked up games I wasn't interested in before and been completely blown away. More importantly I'm not going to sit here and pat myself on the back for being closed minded.
>>
>>377244281
>Doesnt involve picking stuff up from your corpse after you die
I know, I mentioned that it's probably the most unique mechanic that souls invented.
>set of levels rather than explore
No different than fast traveling in souls or taking an elevator to a new part of the world (basically a loading screen).
>character customization
Who cares? Souls didn't invent that and it's a rather small point in the comparison I'm making.
So you had to grasp at 2 small straws in order to try and be superior thinking that any action rpg type game is a souls clone, congrats.

Basically every good post in this thread in one sentence. Crying about an action rpg being compared to the most popular one available is fruitless.

More garbage than this game.

That's it. That's the only reason things get called clones of other things, because the most recent and well known example is the basis for what comes after it. And when Game A has a franchise with a now apparent formula, things with the same or similar formula will definitely, undoubtedly, be considered clones of it.

well if you could bother to explain them instead of going off and bitching about DUH SOULSFAGS at 90 mph that'd be great

The one bonfire per area is fucking stupid because it restricts the level design to:
>explore ground level then loop around back to bonfire
>explore above ground level 1 then loop back to bonfire
>explore underground level then loop back to bonfire
>explore above ground level 2 then loop back to bonfire
>explore last area and fight the boss

Now you might say that making shortcuts back to the bonfire is 'smart', and I agree if used sparingly, but it feels boring when you experience it multiple times per zone. It doesn't help that everything is either industrial or industrial ruins.

I wish I had done this with Lords of the Fallen and actually looked at reviews before wasting 60 fucking dollaroonies in such a horrible fucking game.
I've watched gameplay of this and it looks the exact same, down to the ripped out animations. Aside from very few minor improvements, the game looks exactly like LotF, and has even worse level design somehow. Not to mention how it's literally artificial difficulty, where enemies do like half of your health in a single hit, and armor doesn't matter.
I'm so sick of people trying to shill this game and convince people that it's actually really good when it's really not. LotF made Dark Souls 2 look like a fucking masterpiece in comparison, and this is no different.

DEX > STR in this game. You can stagger enemies with the fastest/lightest weapon (twin rigged). And stability isn't worth it on the heavier exo-suits because you don't want to be taking any hits in the first place since defense barely matters when you die in 2-3 hits either way.

>>
>>377257739
nanomachines, son.
>>
>>377239737
It's a lazy game. I'm in the second area, where I've been up to the boss. So far there's no plot to speak of, and no lore too.
The gear I sport is the lynx set, and the only alternative I've seen is the rhino set. These two are the basic gear sets, and there's no reason to mix them together. I got a few weapons, but it's the basic ones, and the proficiency system doesn't encourage me to use anything else than my trusty one-handed saw blade. I've seen no alternatives, nothing that I could craft, no rare components to make anything different, no special things to unlock somehow.
The drone's only real use I've seen for now is making sure you fight enemies one by one. Couldn't even give me an implant to make it do something else since that's apparently a thing in the game ?
The combat system is great in itself, but there's no reason to use it fully because you only encounter a few enemy types, and right now I can just kill all the humans by spamming regular attacks. I haven't tried to kill the robots after getting rekt by them but I'm making enough scraps on my own to not be concerned by fighting everything in my path.
The shortcuts are fine and unlocking them feels good, but the level design is bland and repetitive, and sometimes doesn't make sense.

It could be a decent action game, but it doesn't try to be one. It's like the developers don't want the players to have fun. Or that they try to ride the souls train by marketing The Surge as being in the same style when it's in fact a piss-poor copy of the formula.
>>

You can always target the human's head and limbs, keep scrolling. You need to build up enough energy and do sufficient damage to that limb as well.

>>
>>377262552
That swing time is cripplingly bad for me since you can't build to take hits and can't heal when attacking. The damage isn't even that good compared to a heavy single rigged weapon. The higher energy gain and impact is not worth it imo. Better off with a pax/legionary if you are going heavier weapons.
>>
>>377262902
Use your dash attack to open up enemies, hit a weakpoint to stagger them then target areas you want to break while they stumble. Hitting only one limb in a combo is counter-intuitive

The story is trash, the art direction is awful and the combat is repetetive.

There is no character creation but a fixed protagonist and he has the charisma of a moldy potato. Actually, that goes for every character in this game.

The combat gets old really fast.
Fighting humans is fun at first but once you've seen the basic weapon types there's nothing really new.
Robots are just trash because they only have one hitbox.
Bosses are just damage sponges and their attacks are easy to avoid.

After you enter main complex the repetition starts to really sink in. There is little actual variety in the locations and there's many cramped spaces which makes fighting tedious.
It doesn't make the combat more intense, it just makes you fight against the camera.

The finishing moves are basically just quick-time events like in Deus Ex. Basically press E to execute. It's really awkward having to hold the execution button down for a second.

There's an option to display lore text ingame but it's literally just additonal text like "this is an imergency exit" when you walk close to a door. That's how bland this game is.

There's just nothing that engages you in terms of story, atmosphere, characters or background.
It almost feels like playing a tech demo.

It looks like they've learned nothing after Lords of the Fallen.

I played for around 5 hours, uninstalled and refunded it.

Doing the hardcore kill nets you the v2 of the boss weapon which just means it's undamaged and has a special effect like a shockwave for PAX vertical heavy and fire damage at the end of combos for Firebug.

I wish Souls games had that homing baseball slide slash that you can do from 20+ feet away with single rigged weapons.

Why do people look so highly upon Quake? Is it just because of the bunny hopping? I mean I'm sure it was great in multiplayer but the single player is inferior to Doom because the stages and enemies are dead boring. The bunny hopping makes the stages slightly less boring but they weren't designed around it so it isn't even always useful. Quake II is the better singleplayer game in my eyes because while they removed the bunnyhopping(and the melee weapon those FUCKING IDIOTS) it ends up being more solid mostly because it rips off doom even harder than Quake did. It's literally just a really ugly Doom with different weapons and 3D graphics, and I'm okay with that.

Well, that sucks balls. Game's pretty good otherwise once you learn that enemies are all essentially minibosses in this game because they can all 1-3 shot you. Does anyone know how to tell what a full armor set bonus does though? I see the icon for it on my screen but no way to check as to what it actually does.

The only one I figured out so far was the elite hazmat armor lets you walk through poison gas without dying.

"Souls clone" is very much a meaningful term since Souls pioneered a very specific set of conventions that other games are deliberately taking after.

>Acton adventure game with RPG elements
>Focuses on 3rd person combat with lock-on
>Has an 'always on' system where you can't pause and instead the game is a stream of continuous, otherwise unbroken action punctuated by rest/reset/level-up points (which is the key element that allows a game to be Souls-like as the other things after this rely on it and each other to work and make sense)
>Game saves automatically and continuously, with the expectation that the player is working with a single file and that every action and decision the make has (semi)-permanent consequences that won't be save-scummed
>Death results not in a reload, but partially restores the environment of threats and otherwise has your actions and what you have collected continue through death, leaving a mark where you died to incentivize you to actually return to where you failed to restore the exp that you otherwise lose temporally.
>Has integrated "multiplayer on top on single player", allowing messages, invasions and co-operative play without a special multiplayer mode separate from the main game.

This is unique and constitutes meaningful sub-genre.

The ride never ends my friend. But honestly once you get pax's weapon it's not as frustrating aside from bosses. Don't forget to not let his missiles hit him for the v2 weapon.

Here's what I think so far fags:

The first level is very well designed

Still going through the second one, but it's great so far with neat characters and quests

I'm really digging how the game actually grows the souls formula, by adding a lot of new mechanics

It's very good

What I also like is that this is more like dark souls 1 in design than dark souls 2 or 3

Can someone explain what exactly makes this game any worse than the souls games?
Except for the less interesting world of course

Get the orange bar full, then when he's trying to stomp you while under him hit the leg he's standing on to topple him. And yeah, the rhino is absolutely horrible and even the set bonus is crap. Cut off a lynx set from those zombos as soon as you can and build it.

The game has a severe lack of interesting items. Every item you get is for crafting a piece of armor or upgrading your stuff.

Holy fuck what an annoying boss. Electric floor bullshit, massive charge that knocks you back with very little windup time, narrow windows to actually hit the core safely. What a nuisance.

Thats a pretty fair score. Its better than Lords of the Fallen but still pretty forgetable.

They really need to work on adding more depth to their games. The core is fine but the lack of rpg elements and world building makes Surge pretty dull.

That's not an argument.
And it's also wrong.

I could understand if you said that you didn't like Dark Souls' tone or the vague story or whatever
but Dark Souls had a lot of thought put into the world and it's fun to explore.
The Surge literally has no proper story or characters.

The lore hints you can enable in the options are literally stuff like "this is a service elevator" when you highlight the elevator that is labled as elevator.

Characters that you save, that actually hang out at your "bonfire" have nothing to say except "I have no clue whats going on".

The Surge feels like it was designed by 12 year olds.

so i beat this game and it left me with nothing but questions

what IS project utopia? are they just causing an extinction level event and turning everyone into weird geodude monsters???

where was Jo's final encounter? what does she give you?

what caused "The Surge"?? i couldn't find anything, or any hints about what even started the entire shitstorm. was Creo just naturally decaying and falling to shit by the time you arrived? game seems to hint otherwise

are the guys in the starting area/every area "zombies"?? it's really difficult to tell which human enemies are 'sentient' or not, since you run into "normal dude" security guys later on who are just as animalistic aggressive as the shitty dumb "zombie" guys

what makes the main character 'respawn'?? what's the 'respawn' mechanic for other enemies? there's no 3d printing out people or whatever, how's the fucker keep coming back

Utopia is new life based on nanomachines coupled with the cyborg zombie guys taking over earth that's been wiped clean of everything. So yeah it's extinction for the lols basicly.
I don't remember who jo was. The scrap lady? You just get the equalizer back at materials.
the utopia nanomachines caused the surge.
From what I gathered the "zombies" are husks animated by either the nanomachines or basicly feral workers who had their brains fried after the surge.
And finally the reapawning is because I honestly don't know, I chalk that one up to "videogames" myself.

But that could all be wrong. It's just what I've gathered.

>>
>>377282824
All those tryhards that fell for the "playing dark souls makes you a hardcore gamer" marketing.

This is pretty obvious when you play the game.
The only challenging fights I had so far were because enemies rush you completely silent out of spots you cannot see or in locations that are crammed in which the camera gets into trouble.

And then there's damage sponge robot trashmobs that only have one hitbox and the bosses aren't much better.

Any time the game was hard it felt cheap.

>>377239737
I really liked this game up till after the boss that summons P.A.X Once you start fighting the security exclusively you learn quickly how lazy they got. Everything except you tracks like no tomorrow.

>>377283549
The getting killed in 3 hits part didn't even bother me much. I used the Lynx set and the chainsword for pretty much the whole game and just sliced through any enemy and boss since their attacks are easy to avoid and I took the Bloodborne module (the one that gives you health re-gen for executions).

It's just how this game is set up.

Protip: don't let it hit itself with its missiles. You get a better weapon. Stick close and behind it as much as possible and whap the legs. When it's damaged enough and does stomps hit the leg it's standing on to topple it and deal damage to its front or rear panel.

Nope. You get one shot at boss v2 weapons. They have special functions too, pax v2 gets a ground slam and firebug can shoot fire for example.

>And cut the left arm off the final boss.

assuming you mean the human version of it? i never received any target prompts for its body, it just made me execute the whole thing as one unit

>>377285706
Well damn. I guess I'll go for it if I do a ng+ then. Thanks.
>>
>>377285796
I haven't actualy been there myself yet, just got to the launch pad tonight. But what I've been reading yeah, you cut the left arm off the human form.

As "cool" as the other chrysalis weapons by the look. Ymmv
sorry for img, just yanked from fextra

This game looks so fucking bad holy shit

>bolted onto her tits

That's going to end well. There's a reason why CREO doesn't employ females...
>>
>you have to play games to know if they're bad
>you shouldn't pirate games even if they're isn't a demo

lol
>>
>>377286613
But they employ at least three. And one of them has a rig and all. Diversity hires i bet.
>>
>>377239737
The game is aesthetically displeasing, the design is horrendous. Also, is soulslike a genre now?
>>
>>377285476
Why are you looking at male ass, faggot

when did anybody ever say any of those things

>replay the hour I lost and beat PAX and get his weapon
>it's slow so shit, notice I haven't explored the upper walkways yet
>the locked door in the power plant didn't open when I turned the power on
Really trying my patience here.
>>
why is this game so fucking SLOW? the backstep dodge movement is so good, it literally cries for a fast paced fluid combat
im picking up bloodborne and nioh next month but this game could have been so good
>>
>>377262902
I use it with the lynx arms so the swing speed is decently fast

I think people just need to relearn timing and prediction, Dark Souls heavy weapons are faster than you would expect, but these actually feel like proper heavy weapons

If there's an armor set that gives you even more attack speed % that would make the swings even faster for the hammer, which already goes at a decent speed with just lynx arms

I like it just because it staggers the shit out of anything I smack with it
>>
>>377288235
use claws
>>
>>377282334
And that's the real price of Lords Of The Fallen™ before they tried to jew it for $50 as well. This game is $30 at best.
>>
>>377287775
Yeah, you gotta backtrack to previous areas once you find the clearance ID for it or whatever.
>>
>>377288907
You can stagger enemies with the twin blades just as well.
>>
>>377285106
The staff is just lying around in the beginning area with the poison gas and the mining robot. To the right in a bush or one of the giant pipeline elements.

>>377239737
Can we all agree that The Surge does wheelchair gameplay better than Souls?
>>
>>377240568
I have this instinct and I knew it was gonna be pretty good. I can tell a bad game from first teaser trailer and I'm never wrong. I knew No Man's Sky was going to suck, I was skeptical over Andromeda and I even know no one was gonna buy a WiiU. Work on your skill kid and stop letting personal feelings cloud youre judgement...
>>
>second area begins
>everything kills you in one combo with health implants
Starting to think the quick save is there for a reason.

But why did they think this was okay?

>quick save in a souls game

this can't be real

the whole point of the subgenre is that you have to live with the consequences of your actions, so no save scumming
>>
>>377239737
Because a sci-fi Souls should have been a third person shooter.
>>
>>377292669
wtf i hate reporting now
>>
So how is it not a souls clone?
>>
>>377292553
Apparently you can't since The Surge is pretty terrible.
>>
the clunky animations and shitty feeling combat
only 5 bosses and not a single interesting one, the final one is especially bad
pretty simple
>>
>>377239737
Hey guys. It has proper poise mechanics
Is it better than DS3 for that alone?
>>
>>377293157
With how bullshit the enemy placement is, it actually serves a purpose to not make you drop the game after the half a dozen times it happens.
