New Surge 2 gameplay

>future
>everyone fighting with a sticks

LotF is not interesting.
They are better off making an entirely new setting
>alternating
Yeah thats why surge 2 is coming and lotf is on hiatus until forever because the setting is unsalvageable until next gen when they turn it into a sotc clone with souls elements and actually capitalize on its fucking big cutscene

It's a dysotopian corporate future where shall not be infringed was infringed

I liked the rythmn of the surge but it was just a bit too jank for me. I also wasn't a huge fan of the loot system, neat as disection was.

Am I the only one who had way too much fun zipping around on a wheelchair in the intro sequence of the first one?

People criticized it for the industrial areas. Which is strange considering all the not industrial areas after the beginnings big industrial area... seems like they havent played it far enough.

Imho the industrial dungeon aesthetic was kino.

That boss looks way too easy.

I actually hope they succeed in making a soulslike that is fun. Everything outside of FROM's soulsborne games feel like cheap chinese knock offs.

Why do you guys shill your garbage games here so hard?

The first game lost my interest after an hour. It took the surface level appeal of Souls and forgot all the other elements that elevated those games. Lords of the Fallen was the same derivative shit. I'm sure Code Vein will be just as mediocre. Fuck these hack devs trying to cash in on other ideas.

I'll wait for PSN to glitch out so I get a free copy, play for an hour, and then delete it because it's garbage. Just like I did with the first game.

They certainly lack a level of polish but the world building, level design, and character and enemy designs make up for that. And besides, it's not like their technical shortcomings are totally disastrous.

fuck off you seething fromdrone. your time is up

>central processing makes you actually feel lost at points until you finally find that vital shortcut
>realize I love the one checkpoint per area limitation because it makes shortcuts actually exists and really important

I really hope they can make 2 better without removing what made 1 bretty good

Salt and Sanctuary is the best soulslike released this gen.

>tfw only just now heard of the first game at all

While I don't think it will be as good as BB something I will say is the level of gameplay quality increases at a far higher rate than with each iteration than with From and that is amazing. It isn't at BB levels yet but going from sub-DaS2 levels of gameplay quality to at least beginning to approach BB in 3 games is fucking astonishing.

Serious question: Why is Lords of the Fallen shit on so hard? Is it just because it's notSouls? It felt pretty alright when I played it. It's not Dark Souls great or anything but the Steam reviews don't seem to reflect the actual qualities of the game. Maybe I'm just a brainlet?

I'm not seething, I'm actually pretty jealous you get paid to shitpost all day. Seems like a comfy gig

Most people didn't get more than halfway through the game

Level design in the first one was honestly better than anything in DS3/BB/Sekiro, FromSoft can never capture DS1 ever again.

I liked that the "evil" corporation was google/facebook/tesla etc like.

I really hope they make the bosses in 2 not utter fucking garbage because they were the real letdown on the first game despite the large strides they made over LOTF.

Levelling. The game is more or less linear because you can wander into an area where higher level enemies shit on you. Which would be fine but it defeats the mentality of the genre

Because like every other Focus Home game it is incredibly generic and forgettable. That and they went nuts with shilling it on Yea Forums with multiple threads daily where employees would only respond to themselves trying to get people hyped for the game.

>shit map design
>shit boss design
>shit armor design
Its pretty boring honestly.
Some neat mechanics here and there like how the shield always exists no matter its location but really its just meh.

Also shield charge deletes any challenge the game might have had which is no good

Shills should rethink their life choices

The start drags. After the first boss you get into a much more open area.

>Which would be fine but it defeats the mentality of the genre

BS

Focus is publishes shitloads of games who try to do something unique but fail in execution and are mostly flawed and lack polish. Masters of the eurojank rpg.

Thanks. Gonna give it a pirate. From the trailers the fighting mechanic looks more like DS1 than other Soulsborne games (i.e. slower) which I really like. Gonna see if it actually plays like that too.

Honestly though how much do you get paid to post nonsense like that? Is it hourly or per-post?

He is right about the first area BUT the second area is hell on wheels.
You will be struggling to find the right way for a while unless you get lucky and manage to get a shortcut quickly.
Theres only 1 checkpoint per area as well so those shortcuts are the life blood of the game.

Other than that good luck, it has areas that arent just factory after you get past central processing.

I think its mostly an alright game, however on a technical level its an absolute shitshow, at least on PS4, there are tons of audio glitches, visual glitches, and the game crashes a lot.

If there's an actual story this time, I'll get it. Gameplay in the first was fun, but average and the levels were boring. Everything takes places in a boring room or alley.

Whatever you say, Pierre

Actual shill posts will use repeating images as markers to provide metric, and then success is measured by engagement/replies. Those bait threads you see with the same image every time? Yeah. Those are awareness generators.

I get paid to build machines. My english is not good enough to shill for a third rate publisher. Its just what i experienced with Focus. Good ideas, bad execution.

The Surge is fun but sometimes the game becomes way too difficult (especially at the tail end of the game when you reach the CEO area) and the bosses can be really lazy, which is a shame for how few they are.
I remember one of the bosses having multiple phases, but during the last phase you can just walk up to its head and hit away safely because none of its attacks reach you.
And the next boss after that is just a normal enemy with lots of health and one hit kill attacks that routinely runs away to heal while summoning the first boss for you to fight over and over again.

I loved the 2nd area because im a sucker for dungeon crawling. That area reminded me of the genre. Later areas get more linear again.

Yeah no shit, that's what they did with LotF and the first Surge. It'll happen again with this one.

I see lot of interesting ideas/settings.

The Surge had / has a lot of problems for appealing to even that of Souls.

A). The character fantasy is garbage. Playing a dude coming out of a wheelchair into a mechanized bodysuit is mediocre at best, and it's simply playing at those levels (even with the "lore" and such, which is minimalistic).

It honestly reminds me of RAGE, which has these very basic living tones, as if nothing great ever happens, while simultaneously referencing the trashiness of "the world"; and a large aspect of gaming is fantasy, which brings up …

B). Souls has way better character fantasy because even though it has similar values, the different builds of the character are suggestive of something much greater than the players has the often-supposed option of actually experiencing (maybe even from how the starting characters are named). Tossing magia is fun – and the three types of character action are obviously relevant, even simply because of variety in ranges.

Largely, it simply seems possible saving the Souls world. … But a fantasy setting is much more conducive to player exploration. DaS' starting area has multiple different types of mobs. … A lot of the popularity is "Fashion Souls" (which is also referencing the importance of multiplayer).

Its problems are that, for starters, the levels of challenges are ludicrous, which is obvious to the player; and also, the availability of finding specific types of equipment according to the picked character (even basic "light, medium, or heavy" types for rolls) seems really random and hidden.

––

A problem beyond simple comparisons is that the industry is at a juncture where basic, 2D-esque gameplay is really bland. Quick, spatial action is really stimulating.

That's because you're a fucking retard.

>boring room or alley
I know you are exaggerating but thats simply not true.

>open air junkyard
>interior of massive factory with several sub areas
>outdoor area with greenhouses
>CEO suites
>rocket facility

I will agree that the rocket area and central are too similar
The real issue for me at first was getting lost within the walls because the service tunnels that network across the game are all exactly yhe same looking. Which makes perfect sense because they are just service pathways for a factory.

Rat in a maze is what the game feels like for a long time

If you guys made better games, you wouldn't have to shill it so hard you fucking frog.

Yep. That shit did nothing for me at all. Which is a shame. It's a good concept.

Im not even french.

You guys shoud've had the whole game be played in the wheelchair. It was the only interesting part of the first game.

Sounds like you dont have a LEG to stand on.

It came out at the height of the Dark Souls craze and people really didn't have a good way to judge these clones. DS1 was 10/10 and everything else was garbage no questions.

You need to learn how to make OPs without spouting memes left and right, my little paid shill.

Why did they make 2nd one?
1st only was the shittiest Souls clone.
Areas felt like from MMO game without any players

>Why did they make 2nd one?
Unlike their other games it gathered some profit and acclaim

It's insanely short.
It's VERY buggy.
The AI is downright attrocious at times (DeS-tier).
I don't remember a single thing about settings/characters/story.
Utterly forgetable boss fights. I don't even remember the boss fights or areas except for two. I don't even fucking remember how it ended.

I actually like the first surge game, didnt play any of the DLC for it though. Is it worth going back to it for the DLC for anyone who has played it?

It's literally the last game in a new area. Not really complaining since I liked The Surge, but still...
Oh wait, they did add fucking player messages.
Fucking innovative that one.

Just remember the image in the OP. We're going to be seeing this quite a lot in the coming months.

PS: Souls sets up action really quickly.

LotF was really averagely paced early on, enough so that stopping playing is reasonable.

First DLC is good, haven't played the second, waiting to see if it ever goes on sale

>scifi shit
shit aesthetic, LotF2 would be better.

This. People hated on the rocket factory for only having vents.
But fuck that, at least the setting was weird and interesting.
This seems boring. Hoping there's a bunch of area variety this time, like they said, because this is not gonna be my favorite.

/sJULLVP6Pw8goaI/um1gWg==/;stub:no;op:only;

Agreed, but level design in BB is still great and it's pretty good in Sekiro and DaS3 as well

Well duh, the dev is shit at his game, so they made the boss easier for this video.

The first game had awful protagonist, NPCs, side quests, equipment variety, level design, bosses and aesthetics. They have their work cut out for them. Aesthetics don't seem to have improved much unfortunately, looks as boring and generic as you can get.

It's pretty fucking bad. It really just feels like the "we want to be Dark Souls without the talent or creativity"

Unfortunately the best parts of the first game were criticized by dipshit reviewers so now we have this

Looking good

If you have trouble just abuse the running attack/slide boost.

How can anybody honestly think that is even interesting, much less superior to an entire nation's design theory? That boss doesn't even scratch the paint on the first boss of DS3. The fucking tutorial boss. Not in terms of gameplay, music, visual design, multiple states/forms, anything.

Looks pretty good. Not really sure about that boss though. I was surprised by how much fun I had with the first game, it was a huge improvement over lotf and I think I even like it better than the dark souls games

Retards try to pretend the series isn't good to look cool. I honestly don't know what you must be playing to think the DS is shitty.

Souls use to be equivalent to eurojank before BB/DaS3

I mean even soulsfags themselves are constantly shitting on the games that aren't their favorite. Really says something about the quality of the games don't you think

If you seriously think that a game that only requires 2 buttons and analog sticks to beat is good, then I don't know what have you been playing.

>Really says something about the quality of the games don't you think
There's the anti-2 meme brigade who feels the need to crusade throughout the whole internet that DS2 is the equivalent of Ride to Hell: Retribution, but beyond that, you're mostly going to find valid criticisms of games that people play aggressively because they love them, instead of blind, retarded shilling like you'll see in these threads.

I'm amazed they made enough money to give it a second shit. I'm amazed they even cared to.

lmfaoooo

You could never master a SHMUP, and they require only two buttons and one stick to play. Back to Cuckera..

A good chunk of the game was going through vents

but surge isnt from french people

No one seas its perfect. it was ok and flawed.

LOTF is a bad warhammer chaos champion ripoff, but without any complimenting things to keep it nice.
So instead of anything happening with the mountain sized gigantic hand from the intro... fuck all happens.

Early souls is literally on par with eurojank
You would have to be a special kind of dipshit to think otherwise with its wildly unbalanced stats, wonky terrain, and stiff handling.

Just because you dont leave your house and only play souls doesnt mean that shit form a decade prior didnt do shit better by far.

Nice goal post. You are the most retarded person I have met on here in a while. Seriously please fuck off before you post anything else on here.

By rocket factory, I meant the whole complex the game is set in, not just the first/second level.

Tone it down westacuck. It looks alright. Like a straight upgrade from the first game which was decent albeit anemic.
No reason to be antagonistic. Unless you're false-flagging.

LotF 2 is being made but by another studio. It recently went through a development reboot.
The reason why these guys are instead making Surge 2 is because LotF is not their IP. Poles just outsourced LotF to them.

That post's accurate. Souls' gameplay is grossly repetitive, QTE, and mediocre.

FROM has set the bar so high that I don't see this game ever reaching it.

From doesnt even try to reach their own standards, why should some no name company have to?
