One thing they really need to address in Rebirth is the D6. Unlocking it is a challenge but Isaac is just too loving good with it. I could see giving him the D20 to reroll hearts and keys and stuff to give him an advantage but turning The Poop into Mom's Knife (extreme example) is way, way too powerful.

Don't play as Isaac! I love bending the game to my will with D6 abuse!

What the gently caress are you supposed to do about Loki? So far he's the only thing in this game that has killed me and its because he keeps teleporting right on top of me. I have no clue how you're supposed to avoid this.

Gotta use the 5 D's, brother.

so I had one and a half black hearts, and grabbed a 3 soul heart pickup from the devil room, and didn't die, or lose any health. I would recommend it.

Also Cursed Eye didn't ruin my last run, so I guess it doesn't effect brimstone.

Yeah, you need to fill it over multiple runs.


Yeah its just kinda annoying. My first run I found a dollar and dumped like 60 cents into it, now its like a few pennies. Just a bummer.

Aww, there's a max heart limit now? That's no fun.

I don't mind it,because I like a bit of challenge. Part of me is a bit sad that it does make the game less DANGEROUSLY CHEESY with lucky foot, or PHD pill popping.

Look for the demon buddy that turns red hearts into soul hearts, that little dude is a game changer!

Here is a video I recorded for a friend who won't buy the game. I have a fun run with Azezal including crushing a BOSS RUSH, then I had a spectacular run with Lazarus. It seems like its still a case of if the game wants you to win, you will win. I take it all the way to Satans hole both times!

Any feedback on my playstyle would be appreciated.

I don't think fortune telling machines drop soul hearts anymore, unless I'm getting very unlucky with them. Also the Crystal Ball gives you the effect of both the map and the compass whenever you use it. It's good.

Yeah they still do. You are just a cursed S.O.B.

Something interesting. I took R U A WIZARD? so I was just standing at the top of the room shooting til it wore off, and not trying to hit the worm guys at the bottom. After a few minutes the doors just opened eventhough I didn't kill em all.

Excellent post/username combo.

Also I did Solar System today and it's not nearly as bad as people made it sound, I actually killed most bosses faster than I would on a normal run because that red fly does some serious damage.

Solar system was fun as heck. BEANZ on the other hand....

Unless you have tragically low health, or are going for a guppy/whore of babbylon run, demon buddy is not awesome late game. When you have room for 3 soul hearts and he keeps eating your health it can get frustrating.

I never give up a run due to bad drops, and usually i can take it to the hole. If you can dodge, and have don't mind long boss fights. there don't seem to be many no win situations.

You didn't. Exchanging hearts for items in those rooms locks you out of Angel Rooms for the run.

No way man, you can get both, taking a devil deal just decreases your chances of getting the angel room.

I hate enemies that slow the game down to a crawl. Those walking guys that cannot take damage until their head pop up drive me nuts. It takes forever just waiting for them to attack.

So either I did something wrong, which is entirely possible, or the wiki is right and you can no longer use seeds to unlock The Lost. I will never in a million years be able to unlock him the hard way so I guess I have to resign myself to never playing as him.

I honestly don't know if its less is more, but did anyone else get burned out on rebirth way faster than the original?

I didn't see that opinion in the thread too much, but I just kinda think after doing most of what rebirth had to offer, I fire it up a lot less. I am only missing the lost cheevos and meat boy, for the record.
