I feel like they really dropped the ball by not releasing this on Halloween.

I'm most excited for the first week (year) that nobody has any idea what anything new does. The code was all run through and wiki completed by the time I discovered the first game.

I wonder if there are going to be new sins bosses. He covered all 7 already so I don't know how there would be more, but I also don't see there not being new miniboss sins.

I just went into a room and a big hand picked me up and teleported me to a different room.

Also I bombed open a room with a bed in it that refilled all my hearts.

Monstro's Lung + a bunch of damage up = Death to everything

Was Monstro's Lung kind of buggy for you too? It felt like it was resetting the charge halfway through a lot to me.

I found a key-begger who pooped out 2 grey chests for the 6 keys I had to give him.

Tear-charging items seem bugged to me. I just got Brimstone and it was doing the same thing another charge-shot thing did earlier where it keeps resetting itself as if I had let go of the arrow key but I didn't. Only being able to shoot 1/5th of the time makes it extremely frustrating.

I'm getting a lot of golden keys. They used to be fairly rare but I've seen enough already in Rebirth to make note of it.

I just got my first Heart kill, opened the chest, skipped the end cutscene, went to start a new game and instead of a character select is was a black screen that just said "Lost" then put me right into a new game as Isaac. Is this supposed to happen.

I found something that absorbs 1 hit per room. Aka take no spike room damage and really easy no damage achievements :getin:


In other news, Skatole is still the best item in the game and still annoying how I need to spend half hour playing the loving shell game because it's so good.

To anyone who hasn't noticed, playing the game gives you little steam inventory card things. They are literally useless and for dumb people, but you can sell them on the steam market for like 10 cents each. It doesn't sound like a lot but it adds up, selling dumb literally useless steam poo poo to nerds 5 cents at a time is how I got $10 to buy this game to begin with.

Somehow Cain of all characters is proving the hardest for me to unlock. Just need him and Judas, although Judas doesn't tell you how to get him. And ??? but I don't even know if he's still in the game to be honest.

You are supposed to play the game with the item description wiki open in the background anyway.

Internet Kraken posted:

I get that the whole point of this game is discovering stuff on your own, but why can't I get some kind of description of what items do after I get them logged in the book? This is mainly about trinkets since I have no idea what most of them do. I pick them up and try to see any obvious effects but for a lot of them nothing appears to happen. And since a bunch of them are RNG related I can run through the game without the trinket doing anything and I don't know if its because I'm using it wrong or the RNG is just loving with me.

Just seems weird to have a big book of items that is completely worthless since it gives no description.

Wait a week or two for the wiki to be filled out.

Not far after that you get the level 2 shop which will give you four items most the time but some times three. Currently I'm at 165.

I got level 2 shop right at 100, I just meant it looks like it goes to level 3+. I'm wondering if it's going to be at 200 or 500 or what though.

I feel like the big rooms are a little too common. I'd prefer if it was a rarer "treat" to see. But that's just me, and it's a super minor complaint.

People keep saying this, but for me Azazel is literally unplayable. His attack fails to fire or does a single tiny blip better than 75% of the time.

Before anyone says anything: yes, I do know how Brimstone works and I am waiting until it's charged.

Same here.


I really hope they patch in mouse aiming.

Epic Fetus/Dr. Fetus trivialized the last game. I don't really see an issue with super powerful but rare items. If it's so powerful just make it extremely rare.

Has anyone seen these in rebirth? I haven't yet and I think they will be way worse with no mouse aiming.

Is this because of keyboard problems? If not then you probably just haven't learnt how to use burst damage properly.

It is a lot of keyboard problems, but even in the original game with mouse support I hated brimstone and moms knife still. I've always liked Ipecac though and think it's better than both. Guess I'm just weird like that.

When you kill an enemy with your tears, it turns into a friend blue spider, ready to explode itself on monsters. You can easily overwhelm most enemies with this.

Assaulting things with a ton of flies and spiders is one of the easiest ways to get through the game. They do insane damage compared to a regular tear, and if you get 2 or 3 items that spawn things you can just run through everything. I've had a lot of success with the cat paw thing that spawns 3 flies with a 1 room recharge. You can stack up a good ring of flies from easy rooms and unleash them at bosses and stuff.


Does my shop upgrades reset if I were to somehow bomb the donation machine under the level up thresholds? Or are they permanent.

How is an 8 character seeds enough to be able to do every single possible game permutation? With random generation you would think there is an almost infinite number of games.
