Shit's getting serious, yo (from Ed's twitter)[/QUOTE]
You know i'll be honest, i think this is great, really looks refreshing, and not the same old isaac (which i loved), but after over 100 hours you appreciate the original art a lot less, i think i see where edmund was coming with this, and personally, this looks pretty good.

so I just did this in the run I was doing
*puts 1 coin in*
okay, a key, at least it's something useful
*puts second coin in*
slot machine explodes revealing... half a heart
didn't even have the god damn courtesy to give me a full heart
Fair point.

I swear to god if I fight that worm that digs into the ground one more time I'll off myself. I fight that more than any other boss in the game. I can guarantee that once per session I'll face him. He's not fun to fight, isn't hard. He's just boring.

Who, Pin?
I'm sure most of you already know this, but when Pin comes out of the ground and shoots a green bomb tear at you, even though he goes underground you can still shoot tears at where he came up from and it'll still hurt him. Helps get through the fight quicker.

On that note, there are alot of things in Isaac that are simply not fun, and tedious. Isaac is otherwise a great game, but saying it has no flaws is foolish. For starters, [B]the D6[/B]. Now, that's not to say it's a bad item. Hell, it's really, really good, but it requires too much thought for the beggining of the game (I know that sounds absurd, but going "[I]should I use it on this? No, the boss item might be worse. But what if it's not? And what about the shop...[/I]" and spending ages deciding wether or not an item is D6-worthy sucks. Plus when you come across an actual space bar item as Isaac you will virtually NEVER take it. For that reason I mostly play as Cain.
Another thing is [B]the Arcade[/B]. A cool concept, yeah, but it takes far too long for the skull game to restart, which can take ages with full money and only requiring 1 coin a use. The slot machine, on that same not, has almost no use because its rewards suck 99% of the time unless you're out of options. And the Blood donation machine? Yeah, I like it, but when it spits me the IV bag instead of the Blood Bag I want to punch Edmund in the jaw half the time. The shop, on the other hand, is fairly fun, and although it requires a key if you're doing well with keys then it's always worth a visit. Hell, when I'm rich I even spend money on hearts in there. Not in the arcade, and even if I DO do it in the arcade, it takes TOO LONG. What they [I]need [/I]is a slot machine that takes coins at 10-30 at a time and has a chance to spawn an item that doesn't suck.
Also?[B] Far too many bosses SUCK.[/B] Now, I'm not saying most aren't satisfying; they really are. But the few that just exist to SUCK the life out of your otherwise fun game really shows. Bosses such as Peep Mark II, Monstro Mark II, Pin (fucking pin), and Chad are some notable examples (Chad isn't neccesarily a bad boss, but his GARUNTEED item SUCKS)[Pictured below in order].

I could go on and ON about Isaac's flaws, but I still love the game to death. It just sucks there are so many problems with it, like the shitty balancing of Sampson, Items like Pageant Boy, and...that's another thing. [B]Shitty items.[/B] There are too many items in this game that are completely superior to others. For example, Doctor Fetus is cool, rewarding, and still has a challenge (possibly hurting self). Whereas Epic Fetus is so easy to use and does so much damage you literally WIN right there. Don't even get me STARTED on Lemon Mishap. Sorry for rambling, but it's ridiculous, and I hope y'all will agree.

Another tip with Pin, when he comes out of the ground and you know he's going to shoot a green bomb at you, stand near him, he'll blow himself up dealing roughly half his HP if it's a good hit, just be sure to get out of there as well, and just like that, Pin just got really fast and easy :)

Actually, I find using Dr Fetus much easier than Epic Fetus.

Epic Fetus is still more powerful then it, disproportionately so. I wish you could toggle Wrath of the Lamb content...
I like the new art-syle a lot. I never thought the old one was really bad but I never thought it was really good either.
I think there's one thing that we can all agree on.
BLOAT CAN SUCK A BIG FAT DICK. MADE OF AIDS.

The Bloat is easy as hell. He's literally just Peep with the eyes out from the getgo.
Aye; the fat fuck's tells are pretty well hidden, and you'll probably need to have amazing reaction times to avoid the bloodbeams, as well as good shot-curving skills...
I just quit if i run into the bloat or mask of infamy, Save myself the trouble of fighting a lost battle.
Fuck, just unlocked Conquest. Is he hard?

I've never once had him shoot the bloodbeams, besides when I just came into the room.
He seems kinda like War, only he explodes into people when he charges. I'd advise brushing up on bullet hell skills for better dodging ability with that guy...

That's how I feel right now. I just want Cain and I just want to beat this game for the first time. God dammit.

@the pin discussion
I find Pin really, really easy.
Literally all you do is move out of the way when he dives and then spam him with tears when he comes up.
holy shit I just beat fucking isaac in the cathedral for the first time as the blue baby
shit
what a rush

so when does the polaroid unlock again?
I just hope that new Isaac will run smoothly on my laptop. That's the reason why I did't play much orginal.

Beat the game start to finish (to isaac boss) 6 times, I think

Completely disagree, the arcade (whilst tedious) is basically what makes Cain so blatantly overpowered. If you enter with thirty cents, you will walk away with at least [I]one[/I] power up.
Play the beggar until he gives you skatole, use any leftover hearts on the blood donation machine, play the regular slots for pills- which can have zero adverse affect on you because of the lucky foot- or pretty flies.

In fact, the only bad gambling machine is the fortune teller since the only permanent item it can give you is an active.
