The Binding of Isaac series. GOT A QUESTION? USE THE WIKI: http://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.co - Games

Played Cain for the first time after a long losing streak with Isaac and beat Satan. It's like I can beat Satan with every character except Isaac. It sucks because I really want to try mom's knife.

someone convince me to play someone other than samson. my past, i wanna say 30 runs have just been as him and i feel like i should be branching out more but his mechanic is just the funnest thing

Used Azazel, got to boss rush where Polythemus was waiting for me. Then I got Tammy's head. Tammy's head one shotted It Lives!, and then I killed Isaac with one shot from Tammy and one shot from Azazel. I really feel as though Runs are too polarized, either you win fast enough to be without challenge, or you struggle long enough to die weak.

ffs [sp]dr. fetus[/sp] is just the worst item seriously whenever i pick it up i just restart the run because i'm not dealing with that shit

I'm guessing those are the kind of runs intended by the devs, but they come up too rarely.

Because if not, Dr Fetus is one of my favorite items in the first game. Seriously, it kicks ass

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;46459598]Has he been changed at all since vanilla? Because if not, Dr Fetus is one of my favorite items in the first game. Seriously, it kicks ass[/QUOTE] dunno (never got very far in the original at all). all i know is that i needed 2 bombs to kill most bigger enemies (even the bomb flies needed 2 iirc), while having to manage the odd bomb physics, and time them properly. not something i'm really a fan of when i've got 3 dmg upgrades already and my main character is based around buffing my damage.

Mybe play a different character. I try to rotate it as much as possible.

why is [sp]isaac[/sp] such an easy boss, every time i've fought him the tears don't do any damage as well

What's the point of blinding my health for cuse of darkness? It's already abig enough pain in the ass

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;46459598]Has he been changed at all since vanilla? Because if not, Dr Fetus is one of my favorite items in the first game. Seriously, it kicks ass[/QUOTE] Bomb damage scales with your base damage. It also inherits most effects your tears had beforehand. The issue is that it generally isn't worth doing when you're given an unwieldy item that can damage yourself, doesn't detonate on-contact like Ipecac, and simply doesn't do respectable damage unless you get a ton of synergies going. Ipecac can carry on its own, Fetus in a Jar can barely crawl across the floor. Also bombs don't carry on-hit effects that tears get, so you'll never get flies from Mulligan/Guppy and so on.

oops I accidentally beat the final final boss lol. I was just trying to go to [sp]dark room[/sp] for the very first time but I ended up [sp]killing both angels and getting dad's key[/sp] while amassing the most ridiculous arsenal ever. I did too much damage too quickly to the final final boss that I actually triggered the victory music half way into the fight, and spent the reminder of the fight listening to calm piano music... anyways here's me: [t]http://i.imgur.com/xWkIFbS.jpg?1[/t] not shown: quad shot + fear shot + concussive shot + broken stopwatch + PHD + daddy's love + max damage. I fought the final boss normally but for the rest of the game I just held still and let my followers kill everything for me lol. Fuck sake my entire play-through has been completely ridiculous. First I fought satan before mom's heart, now i've fought [sp]mega satan[/sp] before [sp]the lamb.[/sp] Goofy fucking game. Also is there really no unlocks or achievements for killing [sp]Mega satan?[/sp] That's a bit lame.

Does Magic Fingers scale with your damage? I've used it a few times but it did like nothing but when I used it in the Suicide King challenge it was basically a way to skip the room and move on. It killed everything in 1-2 hits.

if I lean back at all in my chair I can't see a fucking thing in Pitch Black I have t paly completely sitting up perfectly straight I hate this challenge I hate all the challenges Seriously been going through them to reap rewards and they're not really fun, most of them are just "here's a handful of awful items, beat mom"

So is there a back story like the first game or is he still under the house or what?

Beat mom's heart for the first time while streaming I got so lucky with my items, it was really exciting :)

[QUOTE=JiggleItGood;46460122]So is there a back story like the first game or is he still under the house or what?[/QUOTE] It basically is the first game, just with an extra level added on and like two more cutscenes still showing the same story. Rebirth is a remake with more content.

So there's an interview with Edmund McMillen and Danielle, then Matthias Bossi joins in and now Tyrone Rodriguez, going on at Vinesauce. Pretty great interview, still going on for anyone interested.

quick guys need help making a choice I've got demon bum and book of revelations and i'm playing samson do i take red patch or petrified poop as a trinket (on cellar 2 right now with the boss defeated)

Oughta make it more tolerable.

wow having a full super bandage girl is ridiculously OP [editline]11th November 2014[/editline] literally didn't fire a shot on [sp]It Lives![/sp] her and Gemini just stood on it and that was enough to kill it in about 15 seconds

You guys keep talking about the soundtrack and which theme was the best. IMO it's the originals title theme [video=youtube;H5mnDcZu0I0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5mnDcZu0I0[/video]

Listening to the music again, the two games feel like completely different entities. The mood and feel are completely unalike.

The 1st TBOI's soundtrack is more Orchestrated Melody, and TBOI:R is more Atmospheric Metal/Melody/Mood. Anywho, yeah, you where right, it was Mama Gurdy. (Apologies for the off-color screenshots, I was using f.lux at the time) [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/dff4hz.jpg[/IMG] Which is somewhat buggy, actually, as MG would just up and leave on occasion if it did the raise spikes move. [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/2me8sjs.jpg[/IMG] Also, got really, REALLY lucky in the Solar System challenge and found a library with a Bible. (fyi you had to kill Mom's Heart with orbiting flies and no tears) Fuck challenges that make you rely on external, difficult to hit with factors. Oh, one last thing, the Rune of Jerya (Abundance) duplicates all consumables in a room, pills and cards included. For some reason I just thought it spawned a bunch of goodies.

What does the store credit secret unlock?

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;46461290]"Not found legitely" What was the chance we were going to find it by pure luck considering its very very specific execution of steps?[/QUOTE] There was a huge puzzle going on that would tell you how to do it, but someone was impatient and went with datamining instead

Blindness = Dr Fetus + moon item = Death :(
