Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

[archie4208]

Hard mode got gutted too (the only difference between it and normal now is fewer heart drops) 

I hoped hard mode would have more bullets being fired (maybe even diff patterns) and more champion enemies. Making it hard by reducing drops rather than making it hard by upping the enemies is the most poop thing possible imo

I'm probably one of the few people that liked pre patch hard mode.  It made resource management a huge part of the game and you often had to get to late game with an underpowered build and rely on your mechanical skills.

Now I can use keys and bombs willy nilly and get every item ever.

wtf so this game got worse with a patch while i was putting off playing it? 

[The Legend of Sunblade]

Reports of Dark Bum's death are greatly exaggerated, at least on PS4. I just had a run with Azazel where I got him on the second floor and it pretty much kept me topped off on soul hearts during the whole run. Not a single spider spawn all the way to the Chest.

CHRIST i was this close to having a heart attack all through the boss rush/Lamb fight. The Lamb went down quickly cause I was an OP guppy, but I had to be super careful not to get hit by his first volley or else I was done. I'd picked up the dead cat, but I got hit along the way and was on my 10th life thanks to Guppy's collar. 

I'm way more scared of Isaac and blue baby than Satan and the Lamb though. I still don't have a real counter to the baby's teleport hijinx and usually get hit just by him warping on top of me.

Edit: NVM they both went down like chumps AND i got dead boy

Honestly, RIP Dark Bum. It was fun while it lasted, but getting him sucked the fun out of every run since it was automatically a guaranteed win.

I used Krampus Head last night and it was still suuuuper OP.

Also, aside from Lost shit, I've just about done everything there is to do. All endings with all characters including heart on hard and boss rush, all challenges, etc. I just need to somehow make a meat boy and bandage girl which seems FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE this time around and I'll get platinum god.

Got Mom's Knife and Loki's Horns last night, that's a fun combo.

[fistfulofmetal]

Somehow I managed to get every ending except boss rush on hard with Eden before any other character, even Isaac with the D6. Just got Golden God too.

I HIGHLY doubt I'll get Real Platinum God since The Lost sounds like the most unfun bullshit ever, but maybe regular Platinum God? Maybe.

game is actually made out of crack

first game in a long time where I've had to set limits on how much I play and where I've busted ass all day to get shit done so I could increase those limits 

It's seriously the perfect mix of action and rogue-like.  Your actual skills get you through it for the most part, then the RNG just ratchets up (or down) the tension while keeping shit fresh.

also, i had one run last night where I got two early meat cubes, then died.

then the run immediately after gave me 3 bandages, but not a 4th one.

Guess i should truly finish this soon. I'm missing a few items + redoing some trophies on the second save cause they got glitched on the first go around

[Joe Molotov]

how do i not be terrible at this shit

[archie4208]

Learn what items do.

Learn enemy patterns.

Learn resource management.

Learn general rules such as secret room placements.

The game is 75% knowledge 25% performance.

Really like the extra items, some cool stuff in there.
It's nice to be surprised again.

[fistfulofmetal]

Greed mode is fun but it's fairly easy to break and become ungodly OP.

Greed mode is fun but it's fairly easy to break and become ungodly OP.

I think that's pretty much the point of Greed Mode. No exploration, just building the most broken item combinations possible.
