It'll only let you do the "victory lap" after beating the Lamb (Sheol/Dark Room run). If you went the heaven route, you don't get the new game plus. That said, I don't know what could be causing your error.

So, it won't automatically load up an "ng+" game, so your crashing issue must have another cause. I can't help either though, since it doesn't crash for me.

Funny how the rerun isn't shown. No continue or anything. In other news I think it broke my greed run because I don't have the option to do greedier runs anymore lol.

I'm finally trying to tackle other parts of my Steam Library I've ignored (Shovel Knight, for one). From a few days ago, but yeah that's kinda where I am. Nuclear Throne and Binding of Isaac have been my go to podcast games for a while. I used to play mostly Isaac and not much of Nuclear Throne, but it's pretty much the complete opposite now. I dunno, I just have more fun in Nuclear Throne quickly getting more and more powerful until I ascend into godhood and proceed to get killed by my own hubris, I guess. Playing Isaac right now just feels like I have to do all this work so the game's pace doesn't leave me behind. Wrist Watch fucked around with this message at 07:57 on May 7, 2017 |

The Switch still has the glitch where you can't unlock Challenge 11 because it doesn't treat Lokii kills properly so even though I've got full completion marks on every character I'm stuck waiting for a patch so I can finish the final unlocks. It also crashes 95% of the time when accessing the daily run leaderboards and I noticed quite a few unlock notices never popped for things like the card for Five Nights at Mom's so you have to go into the unlocks and scroll around to see if the game just forgot to notify you that you satisfied the unlock conditions.

Holy hell. Finally just beat Ultra Hard after not playing since AB+ launch basically. After many terrible reset runs I started a pyro run. Managed to get some good damage and a Judas' Shadow but like no hearts. I was so desperate for something that I did the loving hush with 2 hearts just for an ipecac/fetus chance. The only thing that saved the run (besides pyro) was a blind buy of a stopwatch that saved my hush kill. Ended up having 2 hearts as I got to the dark room and had to clear it out to get some more life. Finally killed Mega Stan without taking a hit with a big-rear end Tech X and 4 red hearts.

It's still in my Podcast Game Rotation, but if I weren't grinding out the final daily challenge achievements (keep loving up on the 5th of the 5-streak one), I probably would retire it. I've certainly gotten my money's worth though, and despite some frustrating challenges the constant allure of new item unlocks was very effective on my caveman brain.

Grinding attempts to get the Keeper Delirium is straight-up the least fun I've had playing any version of Isaac, moreso than pre-holy mantle Lost unlocks. Like I try a few times, get bored, and then don't open the game again for weeks. This might be the first time I don't 100% an Isaac game.

I'm having good luck getting delerium on my victory laps so it makes it super easy. Had a super low damage run last night but I had SMB and about 6 orbitals and gnawed leaf so I literally stood still and afk'd my way through my initial run and the victory lap to delerium. It took 40 minutes for my 2nd victory lap lol but I was so lazy and watching Netflix while I did it.

One, I got an Arcade on the 2nd floor when I had less than 5 pennies at the start. Two, each wave in the Challenge Rooms charges your active item by one pip, same way the Boss Rush and Greed Mode do.

I've actually been playing this a bit again lately.... but I've been playing the 3DS version. Despite the horrible framerate and system-crashing bugs I've actually been enjoying it a lot more than I've enjoyed Afterbirth+. I think I just don't like the way the game has evolved, what with it being more chaotic. It just feels more "unfair" than the old Isaac, and while there are plenty of overpowered items to balance that out I just don't enjoy that kind of RNG gameplay  The thing I'm missing the most in the 3ds version are the item synergies though, since pretty much all of them were patched in after Rebirth came out.

I like the fact that the Switch version unlocks the Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ stuff gradually to raise the difficulty instead of having it immediately unlocked like when it's bought as DLC. If/when I get a Switch I might actually get another copy of this game

I want to make a mod that disables telepills for the Mom and Womb/Utero II pills. Had an amazing run that gave me all sorts of damage up boosts with Godhead, only for me to accidentally use a ??? Pill that spawned when It Lives died. Triggered the telepill and sent me to the error room.  This isn't even the first time too.

I forever hate telepills for ruining my Ultra Hard run, as it sent me to a Error Room on the floor you fight Mom, so I had no negative to finish it.

I think it became too big for me, there was just too much stuff in it that it threatened to collapse under its own weight. I actually feel a little nostalgic for flash Isaac since it was smaller and more intimate and everything felt more thematically cohesive. (Not enough to go back and play it, mind.) If I ever go back to this game I might uninstall Afterbirth and just play standard Rebirth. But I'm much more looking forward to Edmund's new games.

Yeah, it definitely started showing in Afterbirth. I put something crazy like 1000+ hours into flash BoI and a similar amount in the remake but every expansion has just made the game less fun for me. I booted it up earlier to see if anything had changed since I last played and my second floor boss was two Monstros in a tiny room. Quite a "oh right, this is why I stopped playing" moment. I'm not saying that Afterbirth(+) is a bad game mind you, it just isn't my kinda game anymore (and Ed's vision for the game clearly isn't what I thought it was originally)  Ironically, I wonder if the limitations of the lovely code (and flash in general) made the original game into what I enjoyed so much.

Your Computer posted:(and Ed's vision for the game clearly isn't what I thought it was originally) The funny thing is that I think Isaac as it is now doesn't even represent Ed's vision necessarily. From reading some of his tweets and blogs about the game it really seems like it got away from him once it blew up in popularity and what the community wanted wasn't what he wanted. I mean just reading this thread shows that conflict. I guess it's only recently that he's sort of been able to let go of his own vision for the game and roll with the community (at least that's my impression - as I said I haven't played it in a year). Flash Isaac (or vanilla Rebirth) was definitely a tighter game. It's obviously the items that primarily make the game so I understand the inclination to add more of them, but it just became too unwieldy for me.

The update charges your item at the end of each wave of newly spawned monsters. The Boss Rush charges your item at the beginning of each wave. You fully recharge a 6-room item twice in 3 waves of Boss Rush. I need to see if it does this with Greed Mode as well. Also, the Filligree Feather trinket will let you hunt down those Angel Room items that never loving spawn. Every angel killed drops an Angel Room item.

I threw together a mod that makes everyone start with Eden's Blessing (in addition to what they start with by default) and uploaded it to the workshop. If anyone's interested it's Forever Blessed and currently it's at the top of the Newest list.

I know interest in this game has finally slowed down after a million years, but I just got around to it (vanilla Rebirth) over the weekend. My first kill of Isaac was as Beelzebub with the smallest possible anti gravity tears and a bomb-fly friend doing the majority of the damage. Been thinking about getting Afterbirth because the daily challenges sound fun, but am hesitant, since I'm really still just starting, given the concerns about the way the content is paced. Should I wait until I've come close to completing everything in Rebirth first, or is there a point in between now and then that would make sense?

I would at the very least get all of Judas' and Azazel's unlocks, do challenge 17 & 18 for Deaths touch and Tech.5. Also donate 600 coins to unlock the lvl. 3 store. The new afterbirth(+) enemies and bosses have more hp than vanilla Rebirth, so having more damage right from the beginning is helpful. Completing Greed Mode with Azazel right after buying Afterbirth unlocks Lilith, all her unlocks are extremely useful and will keep you alive.
