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

Edmund McMillen @EdmundMcMillenn no rebirth post today.. with good reason. just give it a few days...

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;45868758]The whole point of there being those bosses there is so the game has a natural progression in boss difficulty while also bringing those milestones to a climactic end. Basement/Cellar tier bosses are roughly the same difficulty as one another, ones found on Basement/Cellar 2 simply have more health. Same goes for Caves/Catacombs. Then Depths/Necropolis for one floor Mom Womb/Utero for one floor Mom's Heart becomes It Lives! to ramp the difficulty up as the player gets more apt with the game. At this point bosses are now far more likely to spawn as their champion variants in order to make the game more difficult in general. Satan/Isaac ??? It'd be kind of a weak ending if you blaze your way all the way through Utero XL to have a grand finale against Scolex. Other than some of the blatantly-imbalanced bosses like Bloat and Mask of Infamy, I can't really think of any of the bosses that are legitimately harder than their respective milestone bosses. Plus there being milestone bosses gives the player something to strive for as far as a loadout goes. No one really cares about optimizing their loadout to kill Duke of Flies, it's just a general thing to do: get damage and don't die. Whereas optimizing for a fight that you know is going to be tough is more rewarding to strive for. Like it could work, but only really under the pretense that the regular bosses are now suitable challenges to rival these milestone bosses, and I just don't see that happening. In the boss's current state it'd just make for some anticlimactic endings.[/QUOTE] I think he wanted it for a fun gamemode, not a serious challenging one. kind of like randomizing on pokemon emerald or whatever.

Don't forget that Rebirth will add "Double Trouble" boss rooms that draw 2 bosses from the previous pool. So you'll have more opportunities to fight Loki, Monstro 2, Gish, and War as well as all of the new Depths bosses. And count yourself lucky that you almost never see Mask of Infamy. I'm unlucky enough to have run into Bloat both in Necropolis and Utero in the same run. If anything, I'm just plain sick of the horsemen hijacking the boss rooms so frequently. If their spawning is more-closely tied to the Book of Revelations instead of a rather high chance to spawn by default, you're certain to run into more variety in the boss lineup.

I'm seriously starting to question how Rebirth will look like on my 42 inches tv screen

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;45869683]I'm seriously starting to question how Rebirth will look like on my 42 inches tv screen[/QUOTE] Probably better than you think.

I think we shouldn´t judge until the final game is out, though.

[QUOTE=Winner;45870472]probably bad[/QUOTE] don't you have anything better to do than come into this thread every once in a while and look for an excuse to complain about the artstyle of the game

[QUOTE=MrBond;45871401]don't you have anything better to do than come into this thread every once in a while and look for an excuse to complain about the artstyle of the game[/QUOTE] Hey, I'm getting Rebirth for sure but I am not that keen on the new art style that much too It's not a war crime, is it?

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;45872473]Hey, I'm getting Rebirth for sure but I am not that keen on the new art style that much too It's not a war crime, is it?[/QUOTE] It's not, but mind you he has stated his opinion in this thread and others several times already, as if saying that will change anything when Edmund has had his mind dead set on a pixel-artsy style since the beginning.

[QUOTE=Xubs;45869436]this was my intention, yes. My point in such a mode existing is that for stuff like The Depths, which has 2 levels and 1 level is taken by a static boss, you often don't see many bosses you could have. I've almost never seen bosses like Mask of Infamy and Loki simply because The Depths only has one part with randomized bosses. Same for The Womb. If I were to add such a mode I wouldn't make this mode count toward progress or achievements, this would be something you could play when you've Platinum God'd the game and want a mix of pace. [sp]I'm a she if it isn't too much trouble. Understandable though, I don't take offense.[/sp][/QUOTE] To be honest, the less I see of MoI the happier I am.

Fucking tease (ty broFuck for sending me this) [img]http://i.imgur.com/urGIivQ.png?1[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/wsPBwRN.png?1[/img]

[QUOTE=postal;45877093]Fucking tease (ty broFuck for sending me this)[/QUOTE] ily2 [editline]2nd September 2014[/editline] Even more teasing. Tyrone Rodriguez @tyronerodriguez What the hell happened to this image? @EdmundMcMillenn [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BwlE-mbIgAE8G8l.png[/t] It continues to continue Tyrone Rodriguez @tyronerodriguez It's too much to bear! #MomMustDie [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BwlJIpiIcAARSR9.png[/t]

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HvA5iar.png[/IMG] Has it been confirmed anywhere else that (with the discount) the game will be 10$?

[QUOTE=bobxrawks;45879801][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HvA5iar.png[/IMG] Has it been confirmed anywhere else that (with the discount) the game will be 10$?[/QUOTE] Full game is going to be roughly $15. Loyalty discount will knock the price down by the original game's price. So roughly $10.

Rebirth pre-order going up soon with Isaac sack hat as a TF2 promo. Calling it.

[QUOTE=Swiket;45880948]Rebirth pre-order going up soon with Isaac sack hat as a TF2 promo.

Games taking long enough to come out that my hypes starting to wane. When it comes out cool I guess.

Running through Utero XL with Brimstone letting your familiars tank everything like [t]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xSycMDxK6oU/UB2_imSPQGI/AAAAAAAAA0k/gDLTMhnJik8/s1600/Dizzy+statue.jpg[/t]

Dunno if it's just me, guys, but I find the Mask of Infamy pretty easy to beat. Bloat is way more of a bastard.

[QUOTE=Lium;45885552]Dunno if it's just me, guys, but I find the Mask of Infamy pretty easy to beat. Bloat is way more of a bastard.[/QUOTE] My only major problem most of the time with MoI is how the bastard always charges at me, so I almost never can hit the back of her, but then again I also have a hard time killing the knights also.

The Bloat can fuck off to hell. I've died by entering the boss room and not moving for a split second.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XC9pD0D.png[/IMG] The gig is up, folks; Rebirth is a waste. But hey, at least mcmillan much better produce cards, right?

[QUOTE=Winner;45885792]the worst part of the mask of infamy is it just randomly doesn't have a health bar[/QUOTE] That´s not even the worst part. Good luck beating him with normal speed and tears without wasting 5 minutes.

[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;45886229]That´s not even the worst part. Good luck beating him with normal speed and tears without wasting 5 minutes.[/QUOTE] Daily reminder that it's physically impossible (or at least just really hard) to beat Mask of Infamy with less than base shot speed (through Sacred Heart or a Shot Speed Down pill in Remix) because it will then outrun your tears making it impossible or nearly impossible to hit.

Fighting Mask of Infamy feels like a sandy finger being twisted up your anus

It makes them feel a lot more "atmospheric" I guess. Maybe a bit too weird for my taste. edit: The screamer at 23 seconds in was a bit mean, and putting in no gameplay footage seems like a rookie mistake idk???
