 Release Date: September 23 - PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, Xbox One Trailer Playlist This link is all official marketing material. Careful when looking up gameplay on Youtube because a lot of people got the game early from the publisher, and have already finished the game in its entirety and are uploading complete playthroughs. I saw one video link yesterday with all Surge 2 bosses shown off and beaten. Not clicking that at all, I don't want the game spoiled. Our own CJacobs is playing this today when the game launches https://twitter.com/CJacobsSA/status/1175730533139189761 I am actually going into this sequel almost completely blind. I have intentionally avoided information for the most part. I loved the Surge 1 though, and this is looks to be the same, and from everything CJacobs has said, makes a ton of quality of life improvements and balance changes to the combat. More weapons and armor to collect, better world design that is not as confusing. You can also design your own character this time, but I actually really liked the character you played as in the first game.

I am also excited about this game. You don't have to feel alone, even if you should, technically.

Man, you have NO IDEA how much I'm looking forward to this!  Put me in as someone who is just a little down we're not playing as Warren or Elizabeth, but that's just a minor thing compared to the fact that we have more Surge.

I still haven't finished surge 1 but if this is just straight up improvements over the first it's staying on my wishlist.

The Surge was the best game I played last year and I can't friggin' wait to get off work and start this up! I think it was the weapons that really did it for me, since most of them were just ridiculous construction tools. Re-purposing a gigantic wrench as a two handed mace was pretty cool. The buzz saw was pretty sweet too.

On top of that, you get outrageous and badass looking new armor pieces that scream cyberpunk. It just all looks amazing and is completely my jam for science fiction.

I am no where near finishing the first one as I am a giant babby but I'll buy this to support the devs and hopefully find some to play eventually. I really liked what I saw of the first games story and characters/enemies.

Fer sure, I hope there's more viable options for armor too. That was the one thing that bugged me in the first game, the Lynx set was basically the best and you got it right at the start of the game. I'd switch out to the Liquidator gear for that one section that had all the enemies that launch biohazard grenades at you but it was pretty much Lynx from start to finish. I think by the end I was mixing in some Chrysalis armor with the lynx gear but that was probably sub-optimal.

The amount of improvement they made from Lords of the Fallen to Surge 1 was crazy. Hopefully this one has that same kind of jump in quality too.

Yeah like I wasn't BLOWN AWAY by The Surge but it was still good and I dug it and it sure as hell blew away Lords of the Fallen, I still have to finish it though. I'm really excited for this now.

Cautiously optimistic about this. The first one was pretty neat, with its limb targeting mechanics and not-high-fantasy setting. I wish there was a way to play the entire first game in the wheelchair, with spiked rims and gatling guns.

But kinda sounds like you're gonna see extra enemies in areas that were already difficult enough to kill players.

You can tag places, if people find it they get a bonus, if nobody finds it, you get it (or something like it)

I only played a bit of the Surge demo, and I liked it well enough but not so much to stick with it. That said. this looks real good from what I am seeing and I am looking forward to cyborg hobo fights.

I saw a Let's Play for a while and the first boss wasn't a goddamn puzzle boss, so I'm really excited by this - all the updates look cool as hell. I loved playing the first Surge right up until that first boss, who was anti-fun.

The only thing I disliked about the surge was the attack animations they could be super long winded, wushu dance fighting or suddenly have you leap and lunge inappropriately and could get you unnecessarily hosed up.

Surge #1 was my favorite knock-off soulsborne so far. The bosses we mostly not great, but the fast dashing and weighty strikes made the combat feel more like bloodborne than souls (a plus in my book)! Argh, 2.5 hours... Stickman fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Sep 23, 2019 |

Thanks for making the thread, I was going to last week but I got distracted after being bitten by a wild animal. I'm excited as hell for this, TS was and is excellent. It ranks really favorably among Dark Souls clones

If it's more of the same as the surge then I'm in. The bosses in 1 sucked, but I really enjoyed the combat. Hopefully switching weapons is easier this time around, as you were kind of locked into 1 weapon type after a few levels in it.

Its late (bloody american release schedule) but thoughts after the first half hour: Holy poo poo you can pre-charge healing modules now (kinda like the drone in Surge 1), which feels so much better, and means i'm no staring at my energy bar all fight. The jump animation is goofy as gently caress, which kinda makes sense for someone who just bolts robot legs onto themself. I suck at directional parrying, that's gonna be a fun feature. Canonically, the player character is an absolute maniac, wakes up in a strange location and immediately starts dual wielding defibrillators.

Character Creator: Baller Apparently you at least get your start in a prison? Reborn, if you will. E: Dualshock 4 prompts! E2: Your drone is has loot radar and Darksign/Hunter's Mark modes. And lifts are automatic, so you can't fall down them anymore (at least not that I've seen). Stickman fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Sep 24, 2019 |

It's this game's Darksign. I'm an hour and a half in and I'm enjoying the game. I'm still a little confused what the purple bar underneath the enemy's health actually does (drain it to get a small stagger?).

ZZZorcerer posted:Got like 9k scraps for a banner I hid It'll cost all your tech scrap but warp you back to the nearest medbay. The I'm lost and I'll never get back here alive button. Some thoughts from about an hour in: These guys fantastic at making a modern environment feel like a Soulsy 1-1 castle. My 70 year old middle management lady has a mean right hook and no qualms about stomping limbs all the way off. Love the estus being tied to energy and bankable, it's the perfect compromise between the first games two health injectors. Very impressed so far at the improvements, level design, and combat flow. Qmass posted:How is the performance ? Lots of unhappiness on steam. I have a 1060 and an i5-4570 and shadows and volumetric lighting are a problem on very high, but on low it's smooth at 1080/60 and I can't really tell the difference in visual quality.

Something is bugging me, I thought I levelled up but didn't see the points to distribute so I respected and...  Shouldn't I have something like 48 points at power lvl 24 ?
