why not just wait until it gets patched instead of burning your one guaranteed steam refund on a bug that doesn't affect everyone and will likely be fixed in 24 hours? calm the gently caress down you big baby

Do we even have an official stance on the "you only ever get one refund" thing? I've seen the "one-time customer service gesture" thing, but I read that more as 'it is not a guarantee' more than 'You only ever get one'. If you do only truly get a single refund ever, then that is unbelievable horseshit and would actually put me off using Steam forever. Why penalize consumers for developers putting out a completely non-functional product?

The brimstone wall spiders in the Womb are perhaps the worst new enemy in the game.

It may just be me, but I swear the timing of their attacks are so awkward. It's bad enough I run into a room and they suddenly blast me, but when I try to take them out, they just go back and forth awkwardly and then I run into another of their attacks.

steam are very generous when it comes to a product that does not work for the very near majority of consumers. The War Z springs to mind.

In this case, your bug is currently the only one in this thread being reported/experienced, and I am sure it will be fixed.

complaining about digital rights resale on the PC after at least a decade of steam is crazy to me.

I'm Pacman Jones!
Is there a way to transfer my save file/stats/unlocks over to another computer? I'm going to play this game on my PC and laptop and while I don't mind having two separate games going I'd rather just have one big file to make unlocking stuff faster/easier. I'm ok with having to copy stuff over every time, but I can't find any obvious SavedGame1.file anywhere and Steam doesn't seem to want to sync anything.

e: Nvm found it. There was just nothing in documents because I was checking on my PC where I haven't actually played yet, and thus haven't created the save files that are there on my laptop. Problem hopefully solved.

It would also help if they had something that made them stand out a lot more from the other spiders because their attack comes out so fast and it can be hard to tell what spider type they are at a first glance.

Incidentally, if you choose hard, when you actually start the game, it flips back to normal just as the screen fades out. I don't know if it's resetting the actual difficulty, or if it's just a visual thing, but it's a bit odd.


Huh. If you choose normal, it flips to hard as it fades. I wonder if everyone's playing on a different difficulty to what they think...

edit: only if you start the game with the pad instead of the keyboard.

e: Hard. Mine defaulted to hard.

Mine defaulted to Normal, and Edmund was making a pretty big deal about how different/difficult Hard mode is on that stream yesterday. Not sure what happened on yours, but I don't think that's intentional.

e: You can tell if it's actually on Hard mode if there's a blood splatter in the corner of the pause menu and a pentacle appears below the UI in-game.

If you pop your head into the old BoI thread, someone else just posted that they can't get Rebirth to load either. So despite your assertion, this issue is not unique to me.

I think it's to do to what I mentioned above - if you start the game by pressing A on an Xbox pad, it flips the difficulty as it fades out. I must have noticed I was on hard just as it faded out the first time. IF you start the game with a keyboard, it doesn't happen.

e: Pressing right trigger doesn't do it either. The controller 'support' is mental.

That could be it; I've only played on keyboard so far.

Either I've gotten lucky runs or the game is easier. I've got Basement Boy and Spelunker Boy already.

It's so god drat bizarre playing BoI and having it run smooth as silk, even with over a dozen enemies on screen. It's the best, and I look forward to sinking another 200+ hours into this.

I've been playing on Hard some. Firstly, you'll have like a pentagram icon below your keys and poo poo indicating it's hard mode. Also poo poo hardly ever drops anything in Hard mode. Pride dropped a troll bomb, and I fought approx. one Champion in each room through the basement and only one of them dropped anything.

Also challenges do not work towards progress other than what you get for completing that challenge. Which is pretty dumb because most of them actually gimp you rather than help you.


E: R U A Wizard pills only last for so many shots. If you get one just stand and shoot for a while and it wears off.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a fix for it not saving progress? Mine was, at first, but I deleted the save after ironing out some teething troubles, and now it's not tracking anything at all.

Basement Boy is definitely bugged, I got it but like others am pretty sure I got hit a couple of times and in any case it should've unlocked Samson I think but didn't. I also beat Mom's Heart just now and unlocked Eden but after doing one Eden run s/he's now locked again. Not sure what "Eden Tokens" are.

The game runs so smoothly, it's a real treat.

Brimstone may be the best item in the game now. It's gone from being a good item with a fun playstyle change, to a force multiplier for any other shot upgrades you pick up.

To Expand upon VolticSurge, Eden is the randomizer character. She starts with completely randomized stats and 2 random items. She's kind of a reward for playing through the regular characters because she has the potential to start either broken good or broken bad. Beat the game more to be able to play as Eden more.
