It is pretty much the main point of those games. To see if you are good enough to get through the hand-crafted areas without dying to the next workshop/bonfire (either by killing everything or speedrunning). I am also a stalwart defender of manual saving but did not mind it not being here. You don't lose the currency as long as you manage to pick it back up and if you keep dying, it is the game telling you to either practice more or avoid an area for now (if enemies suddenly start one shotting you, you probably shouldn't be there :P).

And I don't like those games. See a pattern emerging yet? :D

Watch the beginning of the review I linked. One possible explanation of what "souls like" is meaning is given there.

Anyone else notice that the forums for The Surge don't appear to be activated?

https://www.gog.com/forum/the_surge#1565408380 - not working for you?

Oh it's fine on the Augmented Edition page, but on the base game's page it's broken. Thanks.

nice to see such big players coming to GoG. Hopefully Dark Souls will be there someday too.

(As for game itself - its kinda mediocre. Plot is worse than final season of Game of Thrones; fighting system is flawed with many balance issues resulting in cheap deaths; and optimization varies from "playable with few fps drops" to "abysmal", depending on your hardware (matching system requirements, obviously))

I played The Surge earlier this year as a "break" from Dark Souls 2 and enjoyed it enough to do one NG+ playthrough after beating it. So I recommend it, but don't expect it to actually be as good as a Dark Souls game.

My review on Steam if anyone's interested.

Oh I was just searching in the bottom left search box on gog.com/forum, not on any particular page. Looks like wrong link on the page you're talking about - https://www.gog.com/forum/general. I'll message a blue so it probably won't be fixed until later next week.

I'm not buying the game but I am curious (and perhaps others are): is the extra content of the Augmented Edition worth buying that edition (especially at the sale price)? Granted it's -50% instead of the base game's -70%.

FOCUS if you read that I will happily and unquestionably insta-buy all that for the sweet DRM-free goodness. Mars: War Logs alone is worth every penny that exists. Such a damn good game <3

Yeah, you can't handle challenging games and need save scumming to progress.

Why people must insult each others when opinions differ?
With that said, the gme autosave features is part of the subgenre, being able to save and load when you want would just ruin the game at its core.

BUT I understand that some people don't like it, but the game has been made to appeal a certain audience, in this case those loving challenging a la dark souls games.

I bought this on launch on steam and loved every moment of it.

If they would bring the surge 2 on GOG on launch, I'd rather buy it here than on steam.

Then don't claim that a core gameplay mechanic is a flaw to fit your leisure approach to gaming. Some people like a challenge in there entertainment.

Some like Michael Bay Movies, other prefer something from Kubrick's library.
