No Wave posted:Godhead got nerfed in repentance. The aura around the tears used to deal 30% of normal tear damage 15 times per second, now it deals 1.05 damage flat 15 times per second. It's not a run-carrying item now, it's just a better spoon bender. I tested this and that does seem to be the case, I think that's a bug rather than an intentional nerf given there's no reference to it in any of the patch notes. I pointed it out in the Isaac discord so there's a chance it might get changed.

I feel like if they're going to keep intentionally OP items in the game then Godhead ought to be one of them. It's a real letdown at the moment.

Grapplejack posted:I'm starting to think that Edmund is a secret Vegan, all the milk items are so bad I don't think I've ever lost a run with Almond Milk in it. I always seem to get something that combos well with it. For example, most luck based tear effects will happen constantly, hitting mostly in front of you but also generally near you.

Finally unlocked Mega Blast, last run was Apollyon with Dr Fetus+Ipecac+Mega Blast, so I was spamming bombs that OHKO'd everything they touched without damaging me, Mega Satan would eat a bomb and go to the next phase of adds. Not sure if there's anything I should go for before buying Repentance (besides Greedier but I hate that mode), since I already got an early Godhead and Mega Blast and most misc achievements, besides 2 victory lap ones.

I failed with Godhead and Holy Mantle and some other great items. I succeeded with Pinking Shears, Anarchist Cookbook and base damage. What a world this is Except the drat shears don't work on the final enemy! What the crap is that!! They worked on everything leading up to it! Well the joke's on you game i whooped its rear end anyway You give me low damage fine but don't tell me then that the stuff that I have to compensate for that lack of damage suddenly doesn't work.

Allows you to tank entire clusters to obliterate rooms, it's nice to have enough extra health to use it for facetanking EDIT: which then makes it much bigger and great for the boss or just more difficult floors in general

I don't think Mother's grid bullets actually scale to your character size, so that's... cool Psi Fly is completely busted and meant I didn't have to interact with mother's bullet patterns, though, so that worked out. I genuinely don't know how you legitimately navigate her spinning barrage. Cool shoutout to completely untelegraphed attacks throughout corpse, which were the only thing the fly couldn't eat

To dodge the spinning attack i found that its good to find a gap then ADADADA, hardly deviating from it.

This is the second loving time I've grabbed Blood Oath right before an important floor (Womb II, in this case) completely loving forgetting what it does "Wow, The Fallen on Womb I! Just hand the run to me, why don't you" - the words of a complete loving dumbass who's about to gently caress the entire thing up

lmao if you go into the Mines back area with flying it just gets arbitrarily stripped from you for the duration, nice if Isaac wants to force the player into so many shmup style dodging sections, either by scaling or just by removing your build entirely, they really need to make hitboxes more obvious and remove tear height

Pixeltendo posted:Well actually some characters don't even have effects added for them with the item, they haven't been implemented yet. Oh, I didn't realize. Sorry. Birthright is definitely a top tier item for Tainted Keeper, especially on Greedier mode.  I don't think I've ever seen him die this quickly before. Tainted Keeper breaks Greed mode and then some. With 4.5 volt and the Sprinkler, it kept recharging itself quicker than I could put another one down.

Yeah, I don't have a problem getting through it, but taking away a part of your build is just... dumb, and feels really emblematic of the problems I'm feeling with repentance. Isaac wasn't originally built to be a game that really tested your dodging skill the way it wants to now, so they keep having to bolt on patches - item nerfs, damage scaling, no-fly-zones - to force you to engage with that side of things. Except it doesn't have basic shmup QOL features like visible hitboxes or consistent tear height, Isaac takes up a ton of screen space by default, and the game's really happy to just spawn stuff on top of you and give you a big 'gently caress you'. It's trying to do two things at once and I think it's coming off worse for it. tl;dr 'waaah let me melt stuff in my single-player game' I guess Stelas fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Apr 18, 2021 |

the fact there's a reward, if only cosmetic, for 100%ing the game's DLC 3 times, is a kind of abuse i thinkStelas posted:Yeah, I don't have a problem getting through it, but taking away a part of your build is just... dumb, and feels really emblematic of the problems I'm feeling with repentance.

I like some really hard shmups (Hellsinker) and I do like Isaac if not remotely as much as Gungeon, but combining them is kinda afwul lol It's not even git gud, it's just tedious at times.

Stelas posted:tl;dr 'waaah let me melt stuff in my single-player game' I guess Nah it's a fair point, and I've said it before but the implementation of armor in the new Repentance enemies and bosses works pretty well, where you have to engage with them and their attacks to a certain threshold but if you're at the right intersection of lucky & knowledgable enough to break the game, it's still possible to totally melt them. Delirium is sort of in-between (if you catch him in his normal form he's got no damage reduction at all, but he's got a ton when he's transformed into another boss) but Hush and Ultra Greed still suck rear end. Mother, Beast, and the final Four Horsemen fight are all in the sweet spot IMO. edit: I'd say Mega Satan is in a pretty good spot as well but could be slightly quicker to kill. As it is you basically have to run through all of his attack patterns for at least one cycle but it never feels like a huge slog like Hush does for example goferchan fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Apr 18, 2021 |

Just learned you can randomly win the all-random secret challenge. Bought a card in the shop, for some reason it auto-activated, and instead of Temperance spawning a blood machine, it spawned the final trophy. On Depths I.

Yeah I've only been hit by it twice now and I've probably fought her a dozen times now. The first time was, 'ok welp no way for me to have known about that' and the second time was, 'i'm a loving idiot i knew that was coming' I now regularly beat her without taking any hits. Mother is way more difficult
