Yeah, it really blows. I love playing BoI on the go, and having to turn on my pc to play it only at home is annoying. I get that some combos will bring down the framerate but I'll take that over not getting it on the Vita at all.

probably not gonna buy this the attitude edmund and nicalis have just put me off every time they post anything

All his blog updates are terrible on the punctuation front. I think his shift keys were stolen or something. It really annoyed me when I was following the updates for Afterbirth, and before that when I was following them for Rebirth. But there's not much I can do about it so :shrug:

I'm still confident they can put together a competent and enjoyable enough game so I'm going to just be optimistic about this until it fades away into development hell with Mewgenics.

Don't worry this expansion will make the keeper pretty decent. And next year's expansion will fix this expansions character.

Base Isaac stats. Start with 1 heart container. You can accrue items on each floor, but after entering a trapdoor to the next floor and beginning the next round, everything resets - remove all money, keys, bombs, usable items, all stat modifiers, heart containers reduced to 1. The only items exempted from the reset would be The Bible and the Angel Key pieces.

How long has Abel shot towards your position? I've avoided familiars for a while since I personally kinda dislike them, but iirc last time I picked him up I thought he just mirrored your shots straight forward.

It was either with the Afterbirth release or an update they did that added in the Friends Till The End pill.

Also, if we're posting silly item ideas, there should be some sort of Luck up that reduces you down to one heart container, but adds luck based on how many it removed.

Abel has always been poo poo, though. I really dislike having familiar projectiles coming in toward me. In any bullet hellish situation I get confused and dodge Abel's shots right into enemy ones.

Someone ought to coin the phrase "differently Abel."

At least Cain's Other Eye got a buff in Afterbirth. Who knows, maybe five expansions from now, Abel will actually be decent.

Nearly lost a 50+ streak to a tiny champion version of that curse room specific succubus-type enemy that dodges and teleports annoyingly much. I didn't realize those curse room enemies could even be champions. Being a tiny champions that moves slightly faster and is harder to hit turns him into 10x as much an annoying, teleporting motherfucker.

IIRC it was more of an inability to come to an agreement about how much he should be paid and neither party seemed overly upset about it back when Rebirth came out but I don't know if their relationship has soured at this point.

Afterbirth for PS4 and XBone is out tomorrow.

Reddit thread for new challenge suggestions from the community is here

quote:

- suggest a challenge setup that is new and CHALLENGING, the suggestion should place the player in a situation where they need play the game in specific way that adds a new, unusual or just difficult challenge.

- do not just toss out a starting set of items, i really wanna try to have almost all of the new challenges to be out of the box designs that feel fresh and fun.

- feel free to suggest the impossible, if its interesting enough i may find a way work around that could allow the basic idea/theme of the challenge to be executed.

- upvote the ones you like, down vote the ones you hate! only one suggestion per post!

This is what Bumbo looks like, albeit with placeholder graphics


And finally, Edmund teases the "mystery game". Fcuk.

My only complaint is that the ideas aren't fairly treated. He said himself he's looking at the ones that were upvoted the most. Anyone could fake that. I get why he wouldn't want to look at all nine billion ideas, but yeah... the most upvoted item in the item idea thread was a reference to a northernlion joke. :colbert:

Any tips for Lillith? I always end up looking at my minions instead of her when I play and end up getting hit.

Did have a good run where I accidentally picked up soy milk, but either it's been buffed or I had enough damage to counter it anyway because it just wrecked everything in a heartbeat.

Still died though.
