Do the Isaac battle royale idea, Ed. Make zillions and let me screw players over like Bomberman.

I think what he said was that after Repentance he'll have expanded upon the current gameplay as much as he could ever want to and an actual Isaac 2 would be something very different to set itself apart from being just another expansion

An open, seamless map exactly like Enter the Gungeon's is the only major idea I've had for an Isaac 2 that can't be done in Isaac's current engine. EtG is basically an ideal Isaac 2 for the most part, I just absolutely despise the gun-switching and dodge-roll mechanics. If it were like Isaac and you had one base weapon that got upgraded with passives that had synergies and ditched the dodge-rolling for smoother movement it'd be perfect.

Yeah, that was my thinking too. BoI is a riff on Legend of Zelda's dungeons, maybe the next thing to tackle is Zelda's overworld.

Someone in this thread said way back when, that Ed has said his biggest regret with Isaac is the linear nature of the choices; Is this item good for my current run y/n? So in any hypothetical BoI 2 I'd expect theres options/more options to be more or less the default. Being presented with two options every time means you actually make a meaningful choice (especially if one is okay and the other is strong but with a real drawback for example, or even "what do you need more, survivability or damage") instead of the current normal of "pick up the item unless its actively detrimental to your run". For the record, I'd be all for that, its would feel more like you actually built your broken run more often rather than "oh, the game just handed me this one". I'd like more choices in general, maybe "Do you want to go to the regular version of the next floor, or the champion variant?" could be fun.

I am coming back to Isaac after taking about two months off. I just creamed Greedier mode as Eve and it felt real good to destroy that golden rear end in a top hat and dump 65 coins into the machine. Am I correct to assume if I clear Greedier before Greed I get both rewards?

The rewards are the same on both greed machines, so definitely get 999 in regular Greed machine. I think as far as the post it note goes, greedier counts for both stamps.

I know that it's not technically the worst item in the game because black candle can remove the curse and turn the item into a straight upgrade, but for me it's the worst item in the game and I've never run into the situations where it's useful, it's always just been that thing I pick up by accident that instantly kills a great run. At least other items that can backfire on you spectacularly and kill a build like Libra have recognizable sprites, the Cursed Eye is literally just an unassuming white dot! And Delirium is the absolute worst boss to have it against since you are basically never safe from damage at any point in the battle and his damage reduction keeps anything but only the most absurd of OP builds from getting the fight over quickly. Hush and Ultra Greed are long fights too but they are at least readable and you could figure out moments where it's relatively safe to attack, Delirium is just constant chaos coming from every direction. God that Repentance overhaul of this fight can't come soon enough. For context, this was a great Forgotten run where I had just steamrolled through Mega Satan and gotten the random Void portal and was thinking that I'd be able to get two endgame checkmarks for the price of one. I'm so tilted now. Augus fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Oct 22, 2020 |

I appreciate that there are items in the game that are usually pretty awful to take (like guillotine) but every now and then you find an interesting combo. It's not how I'd do it, especially given that you only have one choice at a time, but I guess it adds some flavor.

Either options or rerolling pedestals should just be a default feature of the game instead of being relegated to item effects an random occurrences. Playing as Isaac and having the D6 as a starting item makes the game much more fun since there's a decision-making process with every item you find.

Every character starting a D6 and a backpack would be a fun mod. You'd definitely have to rebalance in other ways because it'd be very OP currently. Probably add a bunch more items and dilute the item pool further.

Having every item room be two items and you HAD to take one to unlock the door would be interesting, in theory. I'd want to try that out. I had a run today where I started with Delirious, the active item that spawns a boss to fight alongside you. My Eden stats were on the low end, so I used it to help me with the Rag Man boss fight... but it summoned a friendly Rag Man, which although it killed the boss in two seconds, I was stuck in the boss room with no way out. I guess the game is coded in a way that it's got the boss as a variable and sets it when it creates the floor, and then only unlocks the door and spawns the exit when the boss no longer exists in the room. But a Rag Man entity still existed in the room, and there was no way for me to harm it, so I was stuck with it forever. I saved and quit and continued, which put me in the room, where I took too much damage.

Finally got around to unlocking the holy mantle for the lost on my new file, and then on my first lost run I got blank card, starter deck, jera, algiz, cricket's head, mom's knife, and tech x  That's hush and delirium down but I missed the boss rush by about 12 seconds

Is there an easy way to unlock the Lost? I thought about greed mode and just buying trinkets but no sacrifice room. I've literally got like 10 characters full completion marks and only seen the missing poster once, and that was on a run where I as OP as gently caress and needed the unlocks so I couldn't go for it really.

Yeah, mom's box is the best way but it's still pretty rare. After the last time I unlocked him I resolved that if I do another save file to just drop everything and unlock him no matter how well the run is going if I see the poster. The wiki recommends glitter bombs + gold bomb which sounds good if you don't mind spending literal days of playtime setting off bombs to fish for it.

Weird pair of simultaneous questions. One, has anyone ever gotten hit by Hush's floating black-and-purple shots that go off the side of the screen in waves and come back from the other side? And two, how do you dodge those shots? Because I've never been hit by them, and yet I have no idea why not. I literally just stand still the instant he starts shooting them.

When he initially shoots them they’re going over your head. They can’t start hitting you until they’ve looked around the room once and built velocity. The point is to be confusing visually once multiple sets are flying, trying to get you to panic and start running which is how most of them will hit you

 Didn't actually think I'd get this done in a day. At some point I had a supremely overpowered run going, started with Prop from Eden's Blessing on a previous run. Then found Dr Fetus, then found Ipecac. For some reason my own explosions didn't hurt me and I don't know what I picked up to make that happen, but by the time I made it to It Lives I as doing just under 100 damage per bomb, which got me through Hush, Satan, The Lamb and Delirium Just under 100 achievements to go, hopefully can get this file 100% before Reptenance

Ipecac + Dr. Fetus: Isaac is immune to his bomb shots (not explosives or placed bombs) and the damage is massively increased, as the +40 damage from Ipecac is run through the damage multiplier of Dr. Fetus. Shots will also explode immediately on impact with enemies, rocks or walls. Kifisonfire fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Oct 24, 2020 |

I wonder if Repentance might add one more floor after the Corpse to round out the route with a Chest/Dark Room equivalent, since as-is the Antibirth route ends up being one floor short of the main game route.

If anyone wants to live the soy milk + libra dream: On today's daily don't open the floor 2 item room. Go to the secret room above the shop and grab the quarter and gold bomb. Use the reroll machine in the shop until More Options (gold ? mark box) appears and buy it. Then go into the item room and take libra. Soy milk will be in the item room on floor three.
