Color Printer posted:Okay, so what's Rebirth? I was talking to a college friend I hadnt been in touch with for years, and while we were catching up she asks me if I've heard of the Binding of Isaac. I say yes, of course, and she proceeds to tell me about this video shoot that her friends did and that she went to where they got naked and danced around. I instantly knew what she was talking about.

Choco1980 posted:Pre-ordered this AM, and I'm totally psyched. Early on in Rebirth development a lot of people had this opinion, but it seems to be in the minority now. I mean, have you seen the recent pixel art in motion? Its looks pretty drat good. In any case Ed certainly didn't consider the artwork he used crisp and clean, iirc he said it was kind of rushed and sloppy in places for his taste. Although I think the point is moot really since isnt there an option to switch to an art style closer to the original? e;fb

I wouldn't worry too much though, the game is only 449 MB, shouldn't be too much of a problem unless you live in Antartica or something. Then again it is releasing Tuesday, and that is maintenance day...

Can't you just say that the aesthetic doesnt feel the same to you? That seems more clear than whatever it is you are saying Tbh it took a while for the aesthetic to grow on me. I didn't play the game even though I had it for a long while just because of the way it looked. Its still not exactly my jam, but the game was so fantastic I plat god'ed it.

Just started playing, its everything I wanted and more. Still getting used to it though, kinda like going from classic Spelunky to HD, albeit not as much of a difference in gameplay. I did just kill a rainbow colored poop in a big room though, and an image of a rainbow popped up briefly, but I didnt notice anything else. What's up with that?

It drops sometimes from rooms in normal runs I've found, you cant miss it, looks like a rock that grows purple. When you pick it up it says "Change". Its a one time use reroll of a pedastal item. Took me too long to figure that out  Found a humble bundling in a shop, hilarious.

The first boss I get in the Necropolis after unlocking it are two Dark Ones in a big room. The harder variant of them  Kaethela posted:gently caress Monstro's Lung. Stupid thing just ruined a perfectly good run for me. There must be some stat or item that decreases the time it takes to charge, because I was doing the Computer Savy challenge and got that room that rerolls all your items, and I had some new setup where it would fire after about a second. By the way that might be a legit way to beat some of the really tough challenges, get super lucky and reroll your items into some new sweet setup. It still counts as winning the challenge with them

I got a soy milk first treasure room. I havent gotten any tear change item other than shot speed and tears up since. I'm in Depths 1 and its taken me 45 loving minutes. gently caress this thing when enemies run at you. gently caress this thing when enemies run AWAY from you. gently caress this tedious, tedious thing when enemies are red and regenerate, meaning with plain soy milk you almost literally cant kill them without bombs The only reason I'm still going is because my first devil deal was the bum, and I have a soul converter which is basically free devil deals. Now I just need an actual decent item in one of them. I'm only one guppy item away from transforming into guppy too, which sounds great with soy milk

Slime posted:It seems to me that they went overboard on how little each shot does with the soy milk. Yeah, it is annoying and unfun unless you get something to go along with it fairly quickly. On the plus side my run just turned around; gold chests gave me the guppy transformation so now I'm spitting blue flies absolutely everywhere, and cause I had guppy's tail I lucked out and got the goat thing and the gimp mask too. I'm still going to have free devil deals the rest of this run too so we's about to get crazy with this poo poo

Alkydere posted:It's because there are more bomb modifiers. So Dr. Fetus/bombs on their own is bad. Dr. Fetus with the items that stuns all enemies when bombs go off, or the tear bombs, or so on... Actually no, Fetus bombs dont do damage based on what types of bombs you have, such as the tear bombs, poop, etc. I just had a run with tear bombs and dr. fetus, and the fetus' bombs were based off of my stats. This is the reason they seem to suck big time now, they're based on your damage stat. Unless that's near max it really isnt worth picking up Fetus imo.

/\/\/\ Fish Trinket causes friendly blue attack flies to spawn when hit I think, same as original BoI Goat Head makes a Devil/Holy Room open every floor The Lucky Foot is now just a luck up. That's it as far as I can tell. It's a shame there isn't an achievement for no-hit runs of the Chest. Cause I just did that.

Internet Kraken posted:People keep talking about how Monstro's Lung was amazing for them but every time I've picked it up its been a huge piece of garbage that basically ruined my run. I mean the normal version is very meh but everytime I've mixed it with other shot altering items it has bugged out and become even worse. I'm talking like 6 second charge time for one volley of projectiles. The delay depends on your tears stat. A max tears stat makes it maybe a second or two, and combined with damage ups and other tear mods it can be ridiculous. Good luck trying to get to that point though.

Yeah I just beat him with Lazarus after accidentally walking over the angel pedestal in an angel room with a stompy upgrade, killing the angel, and discovering half a key. Got the 2nd angel room after killing Mom. Having 2 fly orbitals, a ball of bandages, and an extra yellow attack fly orbital was def the reason I survived it. Glad I managed to open that door, but it seems like such a pain to get those conditions in the future. Is anything else unlocked by killing Mega Satan other than the start screen change?

EvilMike posted:It isn't really a huge luck factor if you're good, since you can practically guarantee them spawning if you take no damage on a floor, skip devil rooms and dont pick up items that give "evil up". I have a feeling that even entering devil rooms decreases the odds of angel rooms, I'm not certain though. It's probably me then, I've taken a lot of devil room offers since I've started. I guess I'll try and resist the temptation, see more of what they have to offer. In general though they've usually underwhelmed me. I am doing a azazel run for the boss rush, which I just cleared easily in 17 minutes total because I have 6 hearts, full damage, full tears up and the cancer trinket (like half a second charge!), and Tammy's Head... with the 9 Volt which recharges it in the room. e: oh yeah and my brimstone is shielded too

So I figured out a bit more about how the D4 works. It only rerolls some of your items, I suspect a random amount, randomly. It does this with the ENTIRE item pool, including things you haven't even unlocked yet. For a some items you keep the benefit, for example I rerolled into the 99 bombs item and kept all the bombs thereafter. I also got the items to become lord of the flies, and even after rerolling them I'm still flying. My quad shot homing max damage Fetus is now quad shot homing Mom's Knife. Seriously you guys why do only 0.3% of people have this unlocked, its super easy to unlock and such fun.
