"works on my machine" is the body's final response to terminal steam AIDS

they completely rewrote the engine right before the '1.0 release' so that it could work on the ps vita, and it went from fairly stable to crashing all the time

iirc they're fixing it? slowly

i've played a bunch of both isaac (though only old isaac, not the non-flash remake) and nuclear throne. they're both really good games; nuclear throne is faster and leaner, which I appreciate, but that's a personal preference.

i'm gonna get back to issac at some point too, though, play the remake. idk that it has to be a competition between them?

:rolleyes: it's not a competition. i was comparing two games that scratch the very same itch, only one does it way better than the other, imo.

that's the definition of a competition... imo they have slightly different niches.

isaac has much more involved resource management, with the bombs and keys and cash - much more in the way of strategic decision-making. it's not civ or something but it's still a different experience from nt, less exclusively focused on twitch reflexes.

its weird that they make you carry a poo poo weapon to world 3 to unlock the main character

you must undergo great trials to become a Gun God.

also, it's possible to find a screwdriver on 3-1, theoretically

lol, well that's what i was told, sorry

i think it was true in older versions.

back muscles is still really good - as the game goes on, there are more enemies & your weapons use up ammo faster, so you end up both filling up & running out of ammo faster. back muscles helps a lot with that, especially if you want to run some ridiculous ammo-guzzler like the minigun or hyper rifle or w/e.

is patience the one where it avoids taking a mutation until later or w/e? i've never picked it because i dont really understand what it does.

it's what it says. no mutation this level, and next level you get to choose again from a new set of mutations. basically a delayed re-roll.

if you really don't like any of the other options, it's a reasonable choice. I take it occasionally.

It just gives you a new set of 4 mutations to pick after the next stage. It's good when it comes up next to like Extra Feet and Hammerhead or w/e.

hammerhead is actually the strongest mutation in the game, though

no

useful weapons are:

shovel
crossbow/auto crossbow/super crossbow
super plasma cannon

don't try to play with anything else really. always take trigger fingers + long arms

this is dumb and wrong. (unless you're going for high scores or something, in which case you don't need this thread's advice)

triple machinegun etc *can* be good, i've had builds that use them well - pretending that they're auto-shotguns is a pretty good approach, iirc. ammo consumption means they're definitely situational, but sometimes huge sustained damage is just what you need

in a later run, he asked "hey, where do i find an explosive weapon to open this manhole in the sewers?" wandered off, found a plasma gun, and promptly ate the grenade launcher he was holding in his alt-slot

the only gun i try to ditch asap is the machinegun..feels like its just the pistol on autofire. great sound tho

it's literally the revolver on autofire, but with a little bit of inaccuracy added in. it has ~15% higher dps than the revolver, so that's something, but...

you can loop the game endlessly, theres no real end. But beating the throne is a good first goal

worth noting that there are a couple of endings, of which beating the throne is one. (just, you don't ever have to take an ending.)
