The farthest I've gotten in the original Isaac is The Catacombs. Do you think I'd get anything out of Rebirth if I've not managed to get past that point?
[QUOTE=Snickerdoodle;46507920]The farthest I've gotten in the original Isaac is The Catacombs. Do you think I'd get anything out of Rebirth if I've not managed to get past that point?[/QUOTE] It depends, if you didn't like the gameplay and/or just weren't all that great at it at all and don't feel like playing around with it (Isaac/Rebirth are both learning experiences), then chances are no. If, however, you just felt like items weren't helpful and you didn't want to keep playing for something good then I'd recommend it. A lot of sub-par items were made useful, and experimenting can lead to some very unique and useful synergies.
Beans! is such a fucking pain with Mom. Ran out of bombs by the time I reached her. Also, Guppy's Corpse is sometimes a horrible idea to pick up.

Does pyromaniac(Not the 99 bombs) make you invincible to explosions? I had ipecac and tammys head, and I couldn't do self damage after I got it.
[QUOTE=Waffle Lord;46508154]Does pyromaniac(Not the 99 bombs) make you invincible to explosions? I had ipecac and tammys head, and I couldn't do self damage after I got it.[/QUOTE] Not only does it make you immune, explosions also heal you for 1 heart.
does guppy collar actually revive you or is it a clever ruse

[QUOTE=Kondor;46507345]i keep expecting mass flies to lag the game out but then i remember the game isn't on flash anymore[/QUOTE] I too still get scared when there are tons of enemies or tons of stuff going on. Like "Oh shit oh shit it's gonna lag and crash... wait oh yeah!" And I also really like how Isaac and Mom's Heart / It Lives are now. Especially Isaac. It's possible to beat him without getting hit! How amazing is that!
I had this eden run where i started with D6, humbling bundle and cancer. Yea ok game.
[QUOTE=Manibogi;46506941]It was my first item in Rebirth. Unsurprisingly, I beat Mom that very first run.[/QUOTE] whoa me too. we can be daddy-long-legs-first-item-beating-mom bros. Did you also do it on hard mode? (i did)
just had the run of my life. eve, first time getting both key pieces. relatively strong, nothing terribly overpowered, got guppy, lv. 3 bandage girl, robo-baby, and the item that makes them all stronger. go into chest, curse of the blind "well that's fine because there's nothing that can really hurt me too bad." [B]BOOM. CURSED EYE[/B] well fuck, I thought. ruined run. NO. I PERSEVERED. I BEAT ??? AND IT TOOK ME LIKE 20 TRIES BUT I BEAT [sp]MEGA SATAN[/sp] TOO GOD DAMN [sp]also i'm a golden god yay[/sp]
Just started an Eden run. I spawned with Dr. Fetus. Was about to quit, but I thought let's check out the item room at least. Pyromaniac. Sweet.
[QUOTE=Merijn;46509980]Just started an Eden run. I spawned with Dr. Fetus. Was about to quit, but I thought let's check out the item room at least. Pyromaniac. Sweet.[/QUOTE] The sooner you get Dr.Fetus the better it is, all those rocks, shrooms, skulls, jars and secret blowed up for free.
i much prefer ipecac over dr fetus
[QUOTE=Kondor;46507512]the fact that he starts with a pill is actually a really strong start for him[/QUOTE] That pill fuck me over more than it helps
i don't understand that at all you can just restart until you get a good pill
[QUOTE=Kondor;46510249]i don't understand that at all you can just restart until you get a good pill[/QUOTE] Seems quite boring to keep restarting until you get a pill you like, I'm just saying 9/10 times I get range down or something like that instead of a buff
I fought Gurdlings, Gurdy Jr, Gurdy and Mama Gurdy all in the same run I'm going to sheol, we're going to see if ur-gurdy is real :v:
Holy crap the synergy with ipecac and dr.fetus. I fire poison bombs that deal no damage to myself and deal even more damage than just ipecac. [editline]17th November 2014[/editline] The bombs also explode on contact

Just had the best fucking run Azeral+Tiny Planet+Tammy's Head+That angel room item that gives DMG up and homing tears Enter room, press R, one hit everything One hit every boss including [sp]Issac[/sp]
Holy shit you can reroll key pieces into angel room items
Another day, another strange run. In these before pics, I had a high-Tears Anti-Gravity build. (call me Manhattan Jr) [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/36355106971415267/EA6DD18942673BCF37F84E5677BADB87C90B6301/[/t][t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/36355106971416196/6CD1075536F17134BFAE8C72A5444D132AF33C6F/[/t] And then everything got randomized. [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/36355106971417119/87B2CBC3E590BD7C3646F33116B458D5E9462DDD/[/t][t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/36355106971418582/A0F8423D59C66131A68FB012F330B075C1EF7F56/[/t] This included a spider-like familiar that was like some sort of expectant mother, crapping out spiders every so often. Not quite unlike those large scared grey spiders that scurried away to protect the young they were carrying. Sadly I perished in a darkened Womb I, regardless of the Wafer I had on me.
Am I the only one who legitimately dislikes both of the ramming-related star sign items? The inability to shoot has led to my death many times because I don't get to take advantage of the invuln and contact damage in time, and the one that only adds speed-related contact damage and nothing more seems utterly pointless.
Taurus is a great item. Aries is basically a speed up item with a borderline useless addition, trash compared to other star signs, but could be worse otherwise.
Oh man I wished I remembered what cursed eye did when I picked it up. Was still able to win but man it made every room much more tense since I didn't want to get teled.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;46512184]so in order to get golden god i have to [sp]pretty much beat satan and isaac with all characters[/sp] right?[/QUOTE] You beat ??? and [sp]The Lamb[/sp] once each, regardless of character. You need to beat Satan and Isaac 5 times each to unlock the ability to get TO them, though.
Azazel is really OP
So I played Eve and the first 3 items that I got (2 from Devil Room, wings and brimstone) turned me into Azazel 2.0. I beat Isaac pretty easily. :v: [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/52117710502636004/2473E63A412B931217E1F4856D973D862060E51E/[/t]
