Lords of the Fallen completely put me off from this studio's game, I just don't find their game attractive at all.

The Surge is a great game

I didn't really like the demo. I don't think that's the games fault, more a change in what I find appealing in a game these days; it's the reason I gave up on Dark Souls 3, I just can't be bothered progressing via dying anymore, it feels tedious to me now having to repeat areas and enemies over and over, even finding the most efficient routes through enemies doesn't appeal. The surge just turned me off at its basic mechanical level. Which is a shame really as it seemed to have some very clever stuff going on.
I really want to try this game but I wasn't a fan of Lords of the Fallen, so I can't bring myself to get it at full price or even over 40, I'll definitely consider it if I have nothing to play at the time and it costs around $25.
I watched LobosJr play a few minutes of this and thought it looked fun. Just waiting for a steep sale because my backlog is already huge.
Yeah, pretty much. I know there are patterns that the enemies have and its an "easy" game if you just "git gud" . I don't really hate the games, I hate the fact that I suck at them and really don't have the time to fully enjoy them. Which is too bad because I actually bought Bloodborne just for the beautiful setting and environments but I started getting frustrated in the first damn werewolf. So after a day of work, the last thing I want is more stress...
I hear ya. I had something similar when I played my first souls game Dark Souls 1. I was getting frustrated until the combat "clicked" with me and I fell in love :)
If only you can create your own character, I'd be interested...
The demo failed to grab me, enemies and the general design screamed generic scifi. Fighting bit was alright, but I don't understand why no one has firearms. It just doesn't make sense.

If only it had coop...I love souls games, but I also know that some bosses I need to coop them. I can go through levels by myself just fine, but once a boss has kicked my ass more than 10-15 times I need to ask for help or it stops being fun. It may happens only with 2-4 bosses, but it happens.
I believe I beat all Nioh bosses by myself, but something like the Nameless king?? No way!
How are the bosses in The surge compared to DS3 for example? Any absurdly difficult one?

Yep, it's still in my imaginary list as well (and I have yet to finish it).
I randomly tried the demo out and was surprised by how much I liked it. I don't have time to play it anytime soon but I'll keep an eye on it in future game sales.
Really loved it, nicest surprise of the year for me. Plus it finally made me try Bloodborne so yay!
Also, dat steelbook
They are putting out teasers for the addon. Seems there whill be some very different enemies.

Never would've thought this would get this much praise in here. Then again, didn't follow it that closely.
Will try out the demo thanks to this thread.

They (Focus Home Interactive) will probably announce a release date during Paris Games Week. AFAIK, it is still due for the end of the year.
About damn time. Holy shit I love that dude from the end of that teaser :)
Really loved it. Game knew how to put you in situations that really made you shit yourself, lol. Playing with HDR really added to the atmosphere. Highly recommend it.
UK folks, game is currently £12.99 (PS4) / £9.99 (XONE) at Amazon:

I played the demo but even over the course of that I found the environments and enemy design to be kinds of... uninspired
I *really* liked the intro, though, and think the general premise of the game is really good. Seeing so many positive impressions here might be enough to finally push me into buying it

I'm currently going thru the game right now. It's a nice little surprise gem of a game. The customization you have with your rig (exo suit) is cool. I like the fact that you can customize your character to have greater health/ stamina energy, etc. But you're not locked in once you upgrade those stats. If I decide to want more stamina than health at some point, it's as simple as swapping out a health "chip" for a stamina one.
Grabbed this game off Deals for Gold and I am liking it way better than I thought I would. It is a bit easier than Dark Souls (good for me) and the cyberpunk feel, along with the grisly dismemberments, gives off this really cool 90s horror sci-fi feel.
Definitely digging it.

I bought this game the other day for XOX. So far, I have beaten the first area/boss. I feel like I have an okay grasp of things/mechanics, but does anyone have any advice for a new player? Was there anything you wish you had known prior to starting that you realized after you finished the game? Any help would be appreciated.
Game decided that was the best way to railroad my progress till I had the points to take out the fire spitting miniboss.
Really like the game, like the level design, my bigest problem was the ennemies varities is not there at all, they all look the same and have nearly always the same patern... At first i was impress, but it get insane repetitive at the end. Also Staff was fun, but most combo and move feel useless most of the time... Dodge and 1/2 hit combo make the job....

Learning to block is helpful. Let yourself get hit as long as you're blocking, and open the enemy up for attacks. First run-through of new area: if feeling safe, always target armor, but go ahead and target blue areas for quicker kills, then subsequent explorations, always have a goal of what to target on an enemy. It wasn't until later on that I realized that by targeting the torso, I'm getting the material I need to upgrade a torso. This can focus the grinding to be less grind-y and more of a temporary 'farming'. The benefits here are: it doesn't take long to farm if you have a goal, and you can practice using other weapons and get good at combat.
For armor types, go full set to get a bonus that will also maximize the use of different mods. Use this experimenting while farming.
If you don't mind me asking, which area and what was the mini boss?
I felt the enemy encounters were challenging enough to make it enjoyable despite the lack of bosses. VS something like Bloodborne where your just tearing through trash mobs on your way back to face a boss for the 7th or 8th time
First area, think he was like a big guy who spat fire. Genuinely can't remember much else.

If we're talking about the same thing, that is something that can be tackled later. In fact, I faced it way late in the game (it's optional, but the reward is awesome!). There are many times I came back to an area later on. For instance, wanting to farm a Mark (i,ii, etc) of gear, or to get into conduits that require I higher level. In the first area there's a 52 conduit that does take a while to get back to. But, the way the shortcuts work in this game make traversing without fast-travel not a pain at all really.
One weird thing I didn't really get until later is jumping. There's some weird jumps you can make in this game that don't even look like jumps.
Also the drones! They are very helpful. One specifically helps with humanoid bosses.
Such a stark improvement over Lords of the Fallen. Some of the bosses bordered on completely bullshit, but the moment-to-moment combat systems are so strong.
I forgot this game even existed. Lords of the Fallen sucked so I have no interest in anything else from this developer.
