So far on PS4 I've had two rounds where, in the midst of combat, I went to the black loading screen and the load never completed. Also, when I just loaded up the game I got a black screen with the intro dialog playing and no controller input recognized. This game is buggy as poo poo on PS4.

If someone enters the room with hearing, they are warned immediately by a laughing sound effect, and are prepared to look for it.

So you lose a TINY advantage because you turn the sound off. That is true for literally any game, sound lets you hear things that are important.

The reward for The Purist challenge run is a new consumable that goes in your card/pill slot. When used it spawns 3 attack flys and 3 attack spiders.

Sorry if this has been mentioned (day 1 thread moves way too fast like always) but the awesome BoI site http://platinumgod.co.uk/ has started to fill out its visual item wiki with Rebirth stuff. Just check the little "Rebirth?" box/slider at the top right of the site.

Actually, http://platinumgod.co.uk/ should probably just :siren: go in the OP :siren: since it's useful as hell.

The Head Trauma challenge is loving horrible. Aiming your shots is a bitch and you have neither dps nor single hit damage.

I beat Mom on that once, then died at the LAST POSSIBLE SECOND to an enemy. Took me three more tries to beat it. I finally got Brimstone on a Devil Deal, which was nearly a huge mistake. Ultra-low damage, immediate charging Brimstone. I ended up killing Mom with The Bible.

I'm glad the first run I picked up Bob's Brain, I also ran into a dice/randomizer room that swapped out the brain for something else. I don't know what that got traded for, but I'm gonna assume it was the item that makes friendly spiders when you kill enemies. Now that's a cool item.

It'll appear as an item in the store randomly, after you buy it whenever a boss drops a treasure it'll drop two that you get to pick one from.

I think that's happening with a lot (or all?) of Mac players right now. It ruined my first fight with Mom's Heart, though I was so close to killing it blind. I'm playing in Windows with boot camp for the time being.

I'll chime in and say I am not having this problem on a late 2011 Macbook Pro, OSX 10.9.5. I also did not have any problems when adjusting the gamma like another poster mentioned. I don't know, maybe that can help someone narrow down where the problem is.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Man, the Revenge Fly has to be one of the better items in the game for bosses. As soon as you take a hit he'll just go on a goddamn mission and win the room for you. He pretty much single-handedly hauled me through Mom, the boss rush (where I picked Soy Milk not realizing how my spider-making item was on kill, not on hit), and Mom's Heart. Little dude probably would have hauled me through the complete endgame if it were unlocked.

Hats off to you, Sgt. Fly, you've earned it. :patriot:

Guillotine... well, you know how all orbitals are usually a good thing to have? Guess what Guillotine turns into a orbital. Yeah. loving hard to dodge when you're used to watching that big head and suddenly it's detached from your body and flying around it in a circle. On the bright side, it makes a really huge rear end shield, if you can cope with the disorientation.

content wise, this is the first time I have played it with a controller since my keyboard has been having trouble with it. Really loving the change, only trouble I have is with charging shots and changing direction. You can't change >90 degrees without shooting the shot.

You can if you bind the shot to one of the thumbsticks, but the problem there is sometimes you'll be holding it one way and it'll release the other.

Speaking of charged shots, I finally got my first ever projectile-altering item that wasn't Technology! It was Monstro's Lung and then I died from getting stuck on a rock and had to restart. gently caress you, Rebirth.

That is what I am talking about. I have the shot bound to the thumbstick, but you cannot move it 180 without rotating or it will shoot out the wrong side. You have to rotate then stick all the way around.

OK, Rebirth loving loves me. Technology + PhD + a shitload of Tears Up pills + Pentagram + Cricket's Head + Torn Photo + some other damage upgrade = a practically never-ending laser of loving death. On my second run ever. Mom died in under 10 seconds.

Got me Azazel and Lazarus in that run. Also Mom's Wig is somehow goddamn amazing.

I'm somewhat convinced that the game starts on some kind of E-Z mode until you kill Mom the first time. On the run where I killed her I must've taken ~10 pills and only 1 of them wasn't beneficial.
