Not on the PS4.
But it seems like this is the same patch as the PC beta one, from a few days ago.
Stuff like blocking doesn't consume that much stamina anymore, and being able to block every move, or being invincible for a moment after a finishing move, which I can both confirm.

Just came back from playing Injustice 2 for some days, and I'm instantly and totally hooked into The Surge again

Oh well, got a bug where i can't pick up an audio log.
But it's alright, going for the platinum trophy in New Game + anyway

Starting area out of the Medbay, moving right at each of the 1st 3 hammer guys, go through the boxes where you'll fight a berserker and the guy on the turret, take a right after the boxes, hard right at the bottom of the stairs below where the hammer and turret guys are, go up the stairs past the ARC bot. Through that door, you'll find 4 guys in Scarab armor.
Use the drone to bait them out individually, or you're in for trouble.
I'm currently up against the Security forces with staves. The best thing to do it wait for their jab or overhead smash. When the do that, dodge back or to the side then attack. Should give you enough time to land a couple of good combo hits before they recover.
If they're swinging sideways, just dodge back until they stop....or you could block. I honestly haven't tried blocking with their H attacks yet. I have blocked their jabs, so i know that works.
I have yet to see this game on PSN Asia (SEA region)
Why dont you use an EU or US account?

Holy shit, my new game + is fucked!
The first time I started it, the screen just stayed black after the opening.
Started it again and skipped the opening.
Now the game misses like 90% of textures and i can looking through walls almost everywhere.
Restarting the game or console does not help.
What the fuck, dude?

Might be an issue with the latest patch they just put out.

Yes it does.
PAX is don't let it shoot itself with rockets.
Firefly is knock off all legs.
Sister is don't destroy the welders in the second phase.
Black Cerberus is let PAX destroy the white tanks.
I don't know the last boss.

The game feels much more polished and better produced than LoTF.

Majority of games are way more cheaper in my region. Not to mention different exchange rate.
I'm guessing bosses don't respawn if you return to the area to try again?
Last boss you get a weapon either way it just gives you a different one depending on where you targeted.
After fighting pax 4 times through various ng+s I still can't get him. I usually bash my head against him 3/4 time then say "fuck it I like other shit better anyways" lol >.>
For the sister
you are allowed to destroy 2 welders in the second phase.
make sure you destroy the ones on the right. It'll make it easier to attack the brain.

Okay, about to start this up for the first time. Longtime Soulsborne player, even played through Lords of the Fallen and enjoyed it (!!!). Anything I need to know?

No, NG is the only option.
Yeah I think I targeted the right arm both times and got a different weapon. PAX is annoying.
Cool, didn't know. I fought the whole fight those things annoying me.
Combat is fast but so is the framerate! Don't worry too much about farming area 2 from anything higher than level 2 materials, you'll find out all that soon. Take your time and explore, lots of little secrets. Block and counter is extremely powerful.
I knew you could kill 2, but I was trying to kill the front ones and then the ones at the rear for 3-4 attempts each until I realised the right side of the final platform would be relatively safe if I destroyed the arms on that side.
I had the same outcome on both of my play throughs I think it's the only way

The white tanks during Black Cerberus fight are for the head, chest and leg schematics of Black Cerberus set , V2 weapon and arm schematic is for cutting off his weapon arm. You can get the whole set and v2 weapon in one fight.
As for the Rouge Process you get the Claws of Gestalt for cutting off either left or right arm and Mimetic Edge for cutting off anything else from what I've tested.

Armor sets can give you better stability, higher damage at higher energy levels, etc. Gorgon gives you almost instant stamina regeneration and Lynx gives you increased attack speed. The implants are what really matters. My final build for NG+ was Iron Maus set with MG Cerberus and shield drone.
Alot of people swear by Lynx but I found it lacking later in the game. Gorgon is probably best. 50% less drone cost, lower stamina usage plus the stamina regen for having the full set.
Personally I use Proteus because I think it looks badass lol
Edit: Unrelated NG+ spoiler
I just now realized Claws of the Gestalt uses the Mimetic Edge (sword) for horizontal attacks and crazy fast claw combos with the vertical attack.
Absolutely my favorite weapon now

For [last boss weapon spoilers]
rogue process, I think you need to destroy all his limbs in the first phase and then cut off his right arm in the second phase.

Bloody brilliant.
Fun game and definitely underrated. Last boss was disappointing way too many health implants by that point and could just hit it with little thought.
I'm doing an N+ play through to get the 2.0 boss kills. The game seems pretty short in N+ as I know where to go and am not dying all the time. I got to the third area in a couple of hours. The amount of scrap required to upgrade armor seems a bit ridiculous though so doubt I will be going for a 3rd playthrough.

Right to NG+ from the final boss so do whatever you want to finish before hand. Audio logs transfer to NG+ but quest progress resets

Playing New Game+ and damn, I think it's even more fun than my first playthrough
Might this be the best Euro-Jank game of the last few years?
I really hope the game is selling decent enough for them, so they can further improve with the next game.
I smell incredible potential.

I've been reading a lot of positive impressions on GAF and especially in this thread so I ended up impulse buying this earlier today, oops.
I'm a huge Souls fans and Nioh kind of disappointed me to the point I dropped it (I plan on going back to it after beating this), but this looks so fresh. I had 0 hope in it due to Lords of The Fallen but the sci fi approach is really cool and people seem to like it, so why not.
Just started it and I'm very excited. Kind of a bummer it doesn't have a character creator, but Warren being a disabled person gives it positive points, and I hope the game having a pre established protagonist pays off at some point, although I don't care much about story in these games.

Damn the difficulty really does ratchet up in the second area but the Lynx set with my PAX are making short work of them. I gotta admit those fucking twin rig chainsaw dudes are a bitch to fight with how fast and aggressive they are. Is there a proper way to dodge their charging attack because even a well timed dodge well out of the way isn't enough to avoid it.
Also how do you do the jump/duck dodge move? Is that an implant?

Block and then right stick up/down.
I think you can change it in the options to left stick now. Default controls are a little janky imo
So yeah after a couple hours and making it to the second area, I'm definitely loving this game. It even makes time fly like Souls.
Movesets are nice, the mechanics feel familiar yet they all have their own original twist, and the atmosphere is actually pretty good too. Sure some animations are janky and stuff like that, but it's all pretty minor compared to how solid the game is.
I rescued a couple of guys in the second area and called it a day. Can't wait till I have time to play again.

Wow that was a game changer for the chainsaw enemies. I'm guessing its possible to dodge most attacks with that? Still kind of testing it out. They should really tell players how to use that ability as it makes a lot of fights much more manageable.
They do at some point. I remember seeing it on a wall near an enemy that needs to be counter attacked to be easily beaten. I could never get the timing right so I just ran past them lol
Yeah the gameplay mechanics are now clicking for me a lot better as I kind of had to learn them for the second area which is far more brutal than the first. Finally got my implant load out sorted out and things are going much smoother.
This should be a standard feature in all RPGs.
There are a surprising amount of quality of life things the game doesn't even really high light. Even the granularity of the slow down during finishing moves was really nice to see as I actually left it on but only when acquiring new weapons and armor which is a little gratifying extra for me but also didn't over do it either.
