Already pre-orded and can't wait to play it.
Of course the game is going to make me feel like I've never played it again with all the new crap :-(

Welp got the D6 in an amazing Blue Baby run. Sacred heart, plus fear, tooth shots, the shield, the bible and Taurus pretty much made the run.

Shame I got to get lucky like that again 3 more times :-(

I gotta say, the best way to beat some of these challenges has to be the randomizer rooms, Head trauma was beaten thanks to a completely different loadout.

Since we know theres an expansion coming soon next year and it will have suggestions by the fans I was thinking of a few items earlier..

Cross Bomb
A bomb with a cross on it, when used fire from all sides expands out of it, think the blue candle if you could shoot it at 4 directions at once.

The Monolith
Passive trinket, negates the stone idols (those invincible shooting things commonly found in the depths) from attacking.

The stolen stone
A friendly version of Loki's spike stone that goes about the room, does not hurt isaac

The Drill
Isaac shoots tears that can destroy rocks and other assorted things, does not grant him the ability to walk over them.

The four horsemen horses
Rare drops of each horse, they all grant flight.

Famimes Horse - summons flies upon use
Pestilence - several ipeac bombs
Deaths - scythes that home in on enemies
War - bombs that home in.

Apparently Technology 2 and Ipeac combine well, you don't get bombs with lasers but you do get an overpowered laser that can make Mega satan trivial!

So has any one managed to decrypt the files for this game yet? Theres an awful lot of modding potential to be had here, especially since I want to re-skin some things.

I wanna want to love the boomerang item, but its really useless when you can't fire tears a second before the mook unfreezes.

Diplopia could be really useful if you get the right item drop, assuming you can get the benefit from item buffs twice. Like if you find the Mark in a sacrifice room or get Tammy's Head in a chest, using Diplopia to double them would mean a huge increase in damage.

Diplopia will make getting the Meat boy/ Bandage girl level four runs slightly less annoying to deal with now at least :)

I wonder how broken the game would be if theres an item that lets you carry two space-bar items...

:siren: new blog update :siren:

Talks about the new game mode slightly and how shops have a big part of it, as well as a new re-stock item that refreshes the shop pool.
They also have a release date set and will reveal it soon.

The big pill looks like a suppository. In a game full of poop jokes I could believe it. What it does, on the other hand, I don't have the first idea.

Some people say it's supposedly the Placebo pill that was suggested in the item idea thread on the reddit, basically a blank card version for pills.

New blog post.

The Release date got delayed YET AGAIN, but he makes up for it by spilling the beans on Greed Mode

Basically the layout is this



and the middle of the room has enemies that spawn in waves via the timer button in the middle.



if a wave is too much you can push stop on the timer (and take half a heart of damage) to regroup yourself.
There's more in the link.

http://www.twitch.tv/twitch/v/13259137 (skip to 1:17:11)

And a few new items were shown, like the Dunce cap which is...permanent R U a wizard effect

New Afterbirth update, there will be a release date and pre-orders taken next week Monday, but who knows, maybe Ed's going to say it's the week after too.

Other than that there's not much else other then explaining Greed Mode a little more and how the Mode will have completely different item pools.

There's also a silver treasure room now?

So Tyrone has been streaming Afterbirth a few times this week, lots of new things have been revealed among them are.

- Devil rooms can contain enemy fights now
- Alt bosses for Dingle, Polyphemus, and the haunt
- Gold hearts that when depleted give you money
- pill effects that make you not pick up money sometimes
- and those ghost enemies that disperse and appear again to shoot now have a brimstone alt :shepicide:

Theres a new Hourglass item that does basically the rewind time effect from Prince of Persia.

So if you gently caress up a room badly or ended up with a bad roll on a locked treasure chest, you can use the hourglass to go back the previous room with all your hearts and pickups intact from before you entered.

Beat Hush on Hard, and bizarrely the game kept going through the last two areas as usual.

I had to cheese that drat boss by hoping it became slow with the broken stop watch and several uses of the new hourglass with 48 hour energys :(

Alabaster White posted:

It's an emergency stop button, because if you really suck, the timer will keep spawning more enemies even if you're not ready. I think you might get slightly more money if you don't press it, too? My real question is why there a room with a completely basic Monstro before Ultra Greed?

I think it's supposed to be based on the Afterbirth Teaser video we got with the CGI Monstro, appearing just before you enter the greed room.
