I'm super psyched about the psn thing. The origanal binding of issac was one of those games I though was pretty good but wasn't the type of game I wanted to get super into playing on the pc. With a brand new version coming on the vita it can be the new splunky for me.

I wish Vita actually had games so I could justify a purchase of one. BoI seems like a really good game to play on a Vita.

I'm pretty bummed out that it doesn't seem possible to transfer saves between my mac and PC. The save files are the same between versions but if I launch the game on my mac it just overwrites the transferred ones and doesn't have any of the old save data.

EDIT: Apparently this game is supposed to have steam cloud support but launching this game on my mac also cleared the save files on my PC. loving great.

Even manually putting my normal save files back doesn't work since for some reason it wants to load the ones from the steam cloud. Even disabling steam cloud/going offline from steam doesn't work. Why would the steam cloud saves take priority over my local ones without any input?

"Loading PersistentGameData from Steam Cloud: persistentgamedata1.dat.

I got hit with the save deletion bug yesterday, and had a friend send me a save file. Initially I had the same problem as you, but I figured out that it isn't actually loading the save file from the location stated in that file. Go to whichever harddrive has steam installed (if it's different than where Isaac is) and run a search for persistentgamedata1.dat. For me, this was located in I:\Steam\userdata\41318113\250900\remote (despite Isaac being installed on D: and the save files supposedly being stored on C:) and THOSE were what I had to rewrite on the PC version for it to register.

This worked. Thanks a lot!

Giving me a double adversary as a boss fight in depths I in the the Solar system challenge is a pretty big dick move game.

If you're happy to use distant admiration in order to slowly whittle away every room, kudos. But I really don't want to waste my time doing something so stupid. And I think a lot of people feel the same way. I'm happy to download a 100% save file when I feel I've done everything a normal human being would want to do.

If you think the blue fly is too slow, use red fly. It does a lot more damage and learning how to to use orbitals to deal damage properly is a pretty useful skill anyway.

So many stupid changes in this addition - that's the second run I've had ruined by randomly getting cursed eye - what made anyone think that that was a fun idea? There shouldn't be any items that make you go "welp, I guess I'll just start again then". And no, I'm not good enough to avoid taking damage altogether.

It only has a chance to teleport you if it hits while you are charging the shot.

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.

Building Meatboy unlocks the Super Fan, which boosts all stats (including speed it seems, which it did not in the original).

That's actually unlocked by challenge 14. I don't think Meat boy does anything but the achievement now. Super Bandage girl unlock the super bandage though.

Controller versus keyboard is just a preference thing in this game. It's not like Dark Souls where keyboard and mouse is just objectively worse compared to a controller.

These new patches suck. Now that there's no way to cheese the Lost runs I don't think I'm ever going to beat it. I managed to kill Isaac on hard mode and that alone took me like 10 hours. Have no idea how boss rush is even possible unless I luck into some insane combo of items, which I don't feel like restarting hundreds of times to get.

If you are on PC you can always use cheatengine to give yourself items at the start or just straight up invincibility you don't want to bother with it.

Book of Belial is no longer a guaranteed devil deal. It still raises your chance by a little bit but in my experience it rarely makes much of a difference.

Not a huge nerf and he's still fun to play but I wish they hadn't made that change.

Makes sense. Glass Cannon makes every character into the Lost, and he loves that garbage.

It was overpowered before, but it's into the 'if there's nothing else' pool now. This concept of balancing a single player game is so dumb

Balancing a single player game is fine. It becomes a problem when it involves making everything less fun just because some insane people who put a billion hours into the game can beat it easily.

Yeah, I don't agree with all the changes that have happened either and I think there are a whole bunch of issues especially when it comes to useless items, but if you read some of these reactions out of context you'd think there had been some huge mishap on a governmental level instead of one item being nerfed in a video game.

Marked is gonna be one of those items like the Guillotine where it IS probably good, I'm just poo poo at using it. Also, you know what's the Isaac's definition of "get hosed"? A perfectly good Ipecac run where you get Marked out of an ? item pedestal.

I really hate Curse of the blind. It never does anything interesting, it just forces you to not pick up items or randomly gently caress up your run with a garbage item.
