Vargs posted:When I first bought BoI, I was on a poo poo computer that went into a very smooth and playable slomo whenever things got hectic. Flash made the game significantly easier. unfortunately, my flash lag wasn't exactly kind to me and at times it made trying to play the game akin to repeatedly ramming my foot into the wall

Cobalt60 posted:Wait why are people uninstalling Wrath of the Lamb? Like, for ceremony, or for some specific Steam-based reason that I don't know about? rebirth is legit just the first game but better in every single way so if you're not aiming for all the achievements still or something like that then there's no reason to have it installed

part of the reason it's pixelated now is because ed didn't like the old artstyle, which i can sympathize with. the new look helps to distance it from the whole 'newgrounds' aesthetic.

i usually tend to enjoy curse of the labyrinth and hate curse of darkness. even though they both extend the time you spend on a floor at least labyrinth is giving you more gameplay instead of just being aggravating and making me want to play less.

Clever Spambot posted:I'm really sick of pixel retro art styles but boy does it look way loving better than the newgrounds artstyle. yeah, i generally only like pixel stuff if it's done well and rebirth definitely fits the bill and is also up against the really generic newgrounds flash style which isn't much of a contest

it's a fair bit easier to get some really early wins compared to the first game but once it starts progressing you're going to get dunked hard if you don't bring your best. and yeah, hard mode also exists to layer on top of that all as well.

Motherfucker posted:yes that frown he gets while he is in the process of smacking you in the face is a good tell. *blows bubbles from pipe* it happens before it does any dashes, is distinct from every other distinct face that it makes (there's three), and if you start moving to the side the second you see it you'll never get hit. hope this helps out any people unable to connect 2 and 2 together out there (by the way it's less a frown and more puffing out it's cheeks)

Jibo posted:I don't think this is necessarily the case anymore. I've gotten angel rooms after making devil deals. I'm assuming it has something to do with the whole "faith" stat. yeah, i'm assuming that taking a devil deal usually gives you a shitload of sin, enough to effectively lock out angel rooms due to some weird interaction between the two that no one understands yet. i've definitely gotten both rooms in a run and taken advantage of both but i might have had some crazy luck with balancing myself out.

Zoness posted:But I mean Judas exists to be playable as a more consistent eve right? I mean, at least in the glass cannon department. Eve technically has more gimmicks than just a glass cannon though, which is why they're separate characters etc. judas is technically more reliable but the time you can spend being powerful is also more strictly limited. but yeah, they're distinct enough. the different stats always help, too.

Brother Entropy posted:Why do people keep comparing the Dark Bum to damage boosters like Mom's Knife or Brimstone and not other soul heart generators? You know, like the Book of Revelations, which gives one soul heart per 6 charges. also on top of that those items usually need other things to combo with them to make them really goddamn good instead of just alright and the dark bum is super amazing just by itself and only costs one heart

CJacobs posted:I am confused on whether the devil bum talk is about projected changes for the devil bum or if it actually did get changed but a downside to it is nice either way. it got changed so it now requires like 1 and a half or 2 hearts. i'm guessing just two separate heart drops, maybe.

Rocketlex posted:The more I play Eve the more I like her. Sell all your hearts to the Devil -> Become Danger Mario -> Destroy everything. she really does reward playing well, because if you're able to dodge fairly well you can safely sell every bit of yourself for cool demonic poo poo and also turn into a badass demon on top of that which lets you poo poo out damage

if you get leo and walk into the side of the truck parked by the dock where the s.s. isaac floats for 5 minutes then the lost pops out and you gotta use the shears to 'catch' it you have the shears with you, right

mom's voice had a much more 'natural' feel to it in the old game and the times when she sang out isaac's name actually added a fair bit of character to it because it came off like someone who's off their rocker calling out to someone who they're going to stab the second they turn the corner or something. newer voice isn't as good, but i usually don't pay much attention to those fights anymore so i guess it's a moot point.

it's not an item, you just have a blindfold on. which is why it's bad to reroll your items, because it might leave you with no way to attack.

whatever any dlc ideas are, i'd actually be really hype for any that come out. rebirth isn't a bloated piece of poo poo so it'll actually be able to handle anything tacked onto it unlike the first game which wouldn't have been able to handle anything past wrath of the lamb.

i'd really be genuinely surprised if they wouldn't want to do anything later on, because the market's there and there's probably a million ideas that could get thrown into it while still keeping the theme intact once they've had time to work out what exactly they want to add.

i feel like you might be biased in some way or another if all you can say is 'LOL WHY ARE YOU SO UPSET ABOUT A VIDEOGAME' when all people said is 'it's pretty stupid that a single item can unintentionally make you actually unable to die as a character whose whole gimmick is dying easily'
