ChibiSoma posted:PS4 Trophy List - 59 in total. 2 silvers, 2 golds. At least there's no no-damage achievement for Sheol or the Cathedral! Doesn't seem to be a "beat Blue Baby / mystery dark room boss" achievement for any chars either, though, except for the Lost Poster. . . . Suddenly I'm incredibly worried about what the Lost Poster will be.

Not Al-Qaeda posted:Isn't that how they are in current BoI? if they arent then holy poo poo i have no idea how i managed to get those cheevos. Basement and Caves were piss-easy until Wrath came out. Womb wasn't too bad either, probably third easiest. Depths was always the hard one but the Wrath version made it incredibly difficult.

Most annoying boss to me is Mega Fatty. He's usually super easy, except for when he suddenly just lunges and hits you before you can even move. Considering how telegraphed most of his moves are and how he already has a high jump, the lunge always manages to get me.

Turns out I'm not alone in my problem. More people have The Catacombs and The Necropolis than The Cellar. I'm starting to wonder if there's just some super rare boss fight I'm not seeing instead of Dingle, Monstro, Larry,and Gemini. Maybe its Widow. I know I fought The Hollow one time.

Dark Bum is terrible when you have a lot of heart containers and few drops. Every item has its niche, and with how low the drop rates can go it certainly isn't a total instant victory. Also if the above poster is right I guess I'm kissing my chances of real platinum god goodbye.

Is it just me or has basically everything good about the character been removed, making him a slightly worse version of non-D6 Isaac? He no longer has his increased attack power or his increased speed. He no longer gets guaranteed good pills. He no longer gets guaranteed payouts on the fortune teller machines. And his health is still reduced. What does the Lucky Foot even do now?

Does the head still count as a hitbox? If not its probably at least a huge helpful shield.

Hard Mode seems interesting. It's less everything is harder and more attrition strategies will not work. The enemies take longer to kill so you can't hope to DPS race them, and with less hearts dropping its harder to facetank. Of course, there's the bullshit moments when it screws you out of a key. Those are never fun.

Guys I found an insane seed I want to share with you all. IQ4D ME9Y gave me Quad Shot on an Azazel run. On the first room. Then it gave Dark Bum in the first devil room. A later Devil Room gave The Nail, as well as The Wafer for damage protection after the boss rush. I dominated the crap out of The Womb and if not for having so few Mom kills I would've been able to destroy Sheol atop a pile of soul hearts.

Does Hard really matter much for [spoilerThe Lost? All hose heart spawns mean nothing when you die in one hit anyway, and Devil Rooms spawn a ton and give your lots to work with even if keys won't drop.[/spoiler]

VDay posted:Doesn't moving the Ludo tear/beam/knife around knock you out of the rock state and counts as "moving"? It does, but it still stays a tear when you aren't. Pop it where Mom's Heart sits, or where Satan' usually hovering, or on one of Mom's doors, and trivialize entire phases of the fight while waiting.

BJPaskoff posted:I'm still not used to the reduced invulnerability time in general in Rebirth. I keep getting hit twice because I dodge into bullets thinking that I'll just absorb them in my invulnerability frame, and that doesn't go well. It probably doesn't help that brimstone lasts just long enough to hit twice. So many good runs ruined when I get cocky and try to power through a brimstone shot and score a few extra hits.

Man everyone's saying this game's so much easier and yet I've been having downright atrocious luck at it compared to original Isaac. Probably because I'm used to having way more room to exploit invincibility frames and classic Cain. Closest I've had to getting my old main's power back is HoB-mode Eve, and she dies in literally one hit with the drought of soul hearts I've been getting.

goodness posted:Gurdy is one of the easier bosses. As soon as she dips her head in, just strafe to a different compass point. Never get hit again. Dingle is arguably harder than Gurdy. Gurdy Jr., not Gurdy. Gurdy herself depending on my movespeed and attentiveness ranges from really easy to a bit annoying.

Speaking of the Gurdy family, thoughts on the Gurdlings and Mama Gurdy? The former seem kinda annoying but weak enough to be not so troubling when they start filling floors on later levels, and I haven't encountered Mama enough to really make any assumptions.

If we're talking Ludovico, I'm just gonna say this now. Do NOT take it into the boss rush room. Bosses are hectic. Big rooms are hectic. Combining them both turned my winning Judas run into a terrified scramble for survival as I had to run away from bosses while also keeping track of my ridiculous tear. It was all fine and dandy until I got to Death and War. Tracking myself, my tear, the scythes, the charges, the Knights, and the troll bomb was just too much. It felt so, so good cheesing both Infamy and Bloat, though.

Well I just had a hilariously overpowered Judas run where fear tears, flight, a scapegoat mulligan, and the Holy Mantle lead to me almost never getting hit. How does the game repay me when I try to take an Eden victory lap? Tiny Planet and max range. Say what you will about the Planet's usual bad range, at least you can reliably hit with that. This was just a mess of tears everywhere. The Haunt showed up to rub my failure in my face.

ChibiSoma posted:Getting better with The Lost, inasmuch as you can get better with him. I've reached Mom a few times... unfortunately, once you have to start dodging poo poo from that many sides at once, it becomes nigh impossible. Also just had a Mom's Knife/Book of Shadows run end on Depths 1. Maybe the most frustrated I've ever been with a game. I can't get anywhere even with on-demand invincibility, for gently caress's sakes. The difference is that mom's "stomp" is actually a bomb explosion cleverly hidden behind her model. I think the stomps the goat head is said to prevent are things like Leapers jumping on top of you, but I'm not sure about that.
