GOTY deserves its own thread. Just got to Depths 1 on Hard. Everything looks gorgeous and the new gameplay engine feels right/a ton better. So many new monsters and items just in the first 30 min of playing the game. This is going to keep me busy for months!

Made it to Satan on my first run. *flex*

Died in Depths 2 just now ;_;

What's the difference between Hard and Normal? I'm only playing Hard and not finding it that bad. Is normal just a babby mode?

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #3 on:** November 04, 2014, 03:29:21 PM »

Also, I'm finding keys to be way harder to get in this one. Am I crazy or is anyone else finding this?

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #4 on:** November 04, 2014, 03:32:37 PM »

I got a ton of keys, but I was in Normal...so maybe in Hard you get less items? I dunno.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #5 on:** November 04, 2014, 03:33:33 PM »

Holy moly. I just unlocked a character and don't know how. He can fly and has a super powerful short range brimstone.

PS: Brimsnap seems to be fixed.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #6 on:** November 04, 2014, 03:40:39 PM »

GAF said that Brimstone is stronger now, but I haven't gotten it yet. Brimstone was kinda meh in the original game without using using the glitch.

yup it's Isaac

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #11 on:** November 04, 2014, 07:34:07 PM »

I was wrecking shop in this run. I had Spirit of the Night, Polyphemus, Charged Shot, and Piercing Shot, plus my attack power maxed and a ton of black hearts. Mom went down in seconds.

not really. it's just a remake that's more fleshed out and using a new engine instead of flash.

basically the same situation as when they made Super Meat Boy a full release after the original flash version.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #14 on:** November 04, 2014, 10:00:38 PM »

It's like Binding of Isaac 1.75. Hard to say it's a sequel since it is the same root game, but holy shit there's a ton of new content.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #15 on:** November 04, 2014, 10:16:53 PM »

i have the original and barely touched it. i assume i should just play this instead, huh?

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #16 on:** November 04, 2014, 10:34:02 PM »

This version definitely renders it obsolete, yeah.

Dark Boy

Mom's Heart beaten

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #18 on:** November 05, 2014, 12:02:47 AM »

Ooo boy. Normal's way easier. Beat Mom first try. I think Hard is comparable to how hard BoI gets after you've made the game as hard as possible.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #19 on:** November 05, 2014, 02:13:32 AM »

Just did my second normal game. Skipped mom's heart and killed Satan. Think I'll stick to Hard from now on.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #20 on:** November 05, 2014, 02:15:09 AM »

To be fair, Azazel is stupid OP, and I got lucky with even stupider drops. I was pretty much unstoppable.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #21 on:** November 05, 2014, 05:02:12 AM »

Azazel + Tammy's Head + Quad Shot = 1 shot everything in the game.

Reb · « **Reply #22 on:** November 05, 2014, 07:52:46 AM »

How do you unlock Azazel?

Played this quickly yesterday, since it came out late in the day Europe time.
Defeated mom in one turn, something that took me way more tries the first time in the old version.

It's fun to figure out all the new enemies and what the powerups do.
At some point it kept dropping my pick ups automatically?

You have to buy buy three Devil Items in one run.

I wish there was a way to turn off the filters and lighting. My work PC can't hang with that.

But I did manage to beat Mom's Heart with vanilla Isaac! Unlocked Azazel and Cain as well.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #29 on:** November 06, 2014, 10:58:21 PM »

Actually got to see Azazel + Tammy's Head in action just now.

I threw at the end on Sheol tho which sucks

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #30 on:** November 06, 2014, 11:02:09 PM »

Also: I beat Mom this morning on Vita and wanted to sync my save so I could continue on PS4 down the line

so I hit the "sync" button on the file save screen

and i guess it doesn't do what I thought

because it "syncs" my save to the last time it uploaded, wiping my save.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #31 on:** November 07, 2014, 12:05:25 AM »

That sounds like something goofed somewhere. When you sync, it's supposed to detect which is the most recent save and then upload/download the corresponding one.

In my case, I've got an unknown error that happens every single time I try to sync on PS4, which even a complete reinstall didnt fix. I've done way more progress on Vita, so I guess I'm stuck playing there for the time being.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #32 on:** November 07, 2014, 01:49:40 AM »

Check out this stuuuuuuuuuuuupid Cain build I had.

That is an ever-present Brimstone circle that I could control with the shoot buttons. I had full damage. It's a crying shame I didn't have access to the chest, cause this build was so ridiculously OP that it would've just chewed through it.

Yulwei · « **Reply #33 on:** November 07, 2014, 07:41:03 AM »

Kind of tempted to buy this just to finally be able to experience this game with no slowdowns, but I already played the living shit out of the original

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #34 on:** November 07, 2014, 12:50:36 PM »

Was the little devil familiar that eats regular hearts and turns them into soul hearts in OG Isaac? He really makes the game easy.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #37 on:** November 07, 2014, 01:59:12 PM »

But seriously. They need to nerf that shit. Make him either show up less frequently or make his soul heart drop rate MUCH lower.

Reb · « **Reply #38 on:** November 07, 2014, 02:03:21 PM »

How do you get a screenshot?

I'm doing a really fun run. I have a sack spouting spiders and a buddy generating flies.
Plus a brimstone buddy, max power tears, can stomp rocks, etc.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #39 on:** November 07, 2014, 02:03:22 PM »

I got a Lucky Rock trinket early on that not only increased the item drop rate in general, but made it so every single drop was the multi-item version (double coins, keyrings and double bombs). Hooooly shit that was a good run. I could pretty much buy out everything in every store and clean out all the arcades and still finished with something like 99 cents , 50 bombs and 40 keys.

It seems way easier to get stupid OP in this version but, fuck it, that's like the best part of BoI I guess.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #42 on:** November 07, 2014, 04:10:35 PM »

Maaan, secrets not being unlockable during Challenge runs is so dumb. :'( I did the boss rush room entirely by accident cause I didn't know wtf it was, cleared it, and got nothing for it.

(Then again, the Computer Savvy challenge is pretty ridiculously easy)

Raban · « **Reply #43 on:** November 07, 2014, 04:37:17 PM »

this game is tits, unlocked everyone but Samson and Judas, beat with Azazel and Cain. The new characters are rad, I love Lazarus soooo much.

Mom's Heart is a lot harder in Rebirth, it's really like a bullet hell. No more standing to the side and dumping for 2 minutes.

Awesome game tho, can't stop playing.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #44 on:** November 07, 2014, 04:49:11 PM »

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that. New moms heart is way cooler! Live weaving through the bullet patterns. Much more stimulating than standing to the mid left or right and dumping.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #45 on:** November 07, 2014, 05:51:11 PM »

Beat Mom's Heart on Hard then got stomped by Satan. Hard Sheol was pretty god damn intense. I can't imagine what Hard Chest is like.

So if I'm on win 7 with a mere 6gb of ram can I run this Shit ok? Steam reccs having 8 and I wouldn't want to melt my toaster.

Raban · « **Reply #47 on:** November 07, 2014, 07:00:56 PM »

the 8GBs rec is mainly to inform people that performance is improved with up to that amount of RAM, the game isn't so intensive

I wanted to mention also that this game is a perfect fit for Vita. such a great hit-it-n-quit-it game

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #48 on:** November 07, 2014, 08:27:52 PM »

the performance on the vita isn't that hot, tho

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #49 on:** November 07, 2014, 08:31:42 PM »

Playing on Vita reminds me of playing on the original shitty flash version, so it's great.

Man, giving Samson three hearts in Rebirth makes him so much better to play as. I haaaated Samson in the original, but that extra leeway lets you actually put bloodlust to use instead of having to cower due to having no life from the start.

Raban · « **Reply #50 on:** November 07, 2014, 09:09:38 PM »

I haven't had any performance issues on my vita 2000 but maybe it's cuz I don't have a reference to draw from.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #51 on:** November 07, 2014, 09:18:17 PM »

To be fair it runs fine 90% of the time, which is still better than the flash version, but there's noticeable slowdown during parts like the boss rush room. Nothing that would stop you from playing the game of course.

Used We have to go Deeper on Utero 2 after clearing 1 with no hits thinking it'd count for the trophy. At least I got into Sheol.
