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

Apparently Tyrone said on stream that 109 relates to the police code, which means suicide.

Am I the only one who is kinda pissed off about all this? They're effectively locking content we've paid for behind some ARG stuff, the DLC is incomplete right now. If this is all some big "fuck you" to the Lost dataminers then it's kinda shitty for everyone else. I personally feel like there's no point in playing Afterbirth until everything is found, because there's no point doing runs until everything is there available to me. I dunno man, I just think it's kind of a shitty thing for Edmund to do.

We have to wait a few days until people actually work it out or until Edmund straight up tells everybody, it's shitty. I love Isaac. The time I've sunk into the original and Rebirth combined is actually scary, but this has really left a sour taste in my mouth. Not to mention the fact that I'm kinda.. disappointed in Afterbirth? It doesn't feel as expansive as Wrath of the Lamb did to me. I like Greed Mode but it's kinda like, eh, I'll play it for the unlocks but won't after that (It's also extremely easy to break if you just reset for a Blood Bank and get lucky with an IV bag on Floor 1). Hush sorta bothers me as well, because it's stronger than the actual end game bosses. and most of the new bosses are just undead or alternate versions of the old ones, doesn't seem as new as I'd hoped. Lilith is kinda fun I guess but her gimmick gets kinda old, with Wrath of the Lamb you had Samson (who I loved in WOTL, not so much in Rebirth) and Eve added (at least I think Eve was added in WOTL?), two characters with very specific playstyles and methods behind them. I dunno, maybe a lot of content is locked behind this ARG, and maybe I'm being a whiny baby, I hope so, because it doesn't feel very good at the moment. Also most of the new challenges are pretty meh. This post was a lot longer than I expected it to be lmao

is it okay to do what edmund is doing i don't know much about the laws relating to this sorta thing but him bragging that one of the selling points on the store page is a lie seems like a cute way to be mysterious but it also seems terribly illegal

I got this transformation [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQizbusCDNw[/url] I'll only link then embedd, because it's a cut scene that happens when you're playing.

This is what should've happened with the Lost. Sniffing out clues and working together. People ruined that by finding the Lost's code and just telling everyone what to do to get him. I'm glad he kept this stuff out of the game for now, so that wouldn't happen again, yet I feel bad for people without an internet connection at their house, which is really the only real problem with the ARG. You're gonna get this locked content eventually anyways, I don't see what there is to be pissed off about.

spiders are the worst fuckin enemies in this game and nothing else can convince me otherwise

I doubt there's anything significant hidden in here right now (especially not 50+ more items) regardless of how many times edmund says otherwise. the dataminers have already had a go at this and the extra content that's in here was said to be incomplete in what appeared to be an intentional way ([sp]extra character with full stats n such but no art files[/sp]). I think they're just tired of dataminers spoiling everything for everyone right off the bat, so they're instead aiming to just sneakily drip-feed us the content through patches so we can all be on the same page together. that's just a guess tho, could also be they just didn't finish shit in time for halloween lol, but if I'm right about either of those I'm gonna laugh if they try to play this off as always having been in the game since the start like Edmund appears to be doing.

I wouldn't mind if he was doing this for just the one secret character or something, but the impression I'm getting is that he's locked a large chunk of content out of the game and it's not just secret stuff either, it includes things advertised as a selling point of the DLC. I'm actually on the whole enjoying Afterbirth, but if you are going to sell DLC with the promise of there being however many new items inside, there better fucking be at least that many new items inside when we get it.

The Guardian. #30 done. So stupid. Scum tactic and waiting on placenta to regen. [img]http://i.imgur.com/QrkcsWM.jpg[/img]

Also I just killed [sp]Mega Satan[/sp] in the most glorious fashion You know the holy white ring around isaac item that sometimes reflects enemy projectiles? It stacks with the holy sword, making the sword always reflect shit. I ran up to [sp]mega satan[/sp] and just stuck the sword in front of his mouth, and every time he tried to talk shit it just bounced back into him [url]http://i.imgur.com/RTFsvRI.jpg?1[/url] --> [url]http://i.imgur.com/h3NWbYE.jpg?1[/url] get fucking wrecked

The guardian does look like a pretty interesting concept though. Like someone said before, with some tweaks (the ability to shoot tears rather than the sword limitation, the punching bag actually running from enemies, the punching bag itself being the damage location rather than a follower of it, etc) it could potentially be a fun character. Like, when there are no enemies in the room it will loosely follow you around and go where you tell it to, but when there are it runs away as best it can.

[QUOTE=VietRooster2;49037344]spiders are the worst fuckin enemies in this game and nothing else can convince me otherwise[/QUOTE] I have more trouble with a room full of spiders than most bosses in this game. Especially Trite since they can jump all the way across a double sized room and hit you at a million miles an hour.

I honestly feel like there's an entire area that's supposed to come after [sp]Blue Womb[/sp] because it really doesn't make much sense to end it off there.

[QUOTE=BoxinShrimp;49037520]I honestly feel like there's an entire area that's supposed to come after [sp]Blue Womb[/sp] because it really doesn't make much sense to end it off there.[/QUOTE] Well there is the blue womb unlocked achievement that nobody has gotten. It's just a question of "is it glitched and we'll all get it next patch" or "is it not ready yet" having seen some ~certain~ art assets, tho, I think it's not entirely out of the question that a new level opens up after fighting [sp]hush[/sp]. the art asset in question shows a [sp]skinless hush boss[/sp]

I was trying to do the guardian challenge earlier and the fucker went into the spikes and died. :hammered:

[t]http://puu.sh/l7v5G/a03b4e4d46.jpg[/t] think this is the smallest i've ever managed to make issac

I'm slightly perturbed with the buff that Cain got. Cain was my go-to guy back in flash Isaac because he was the blankest of slates, the character with no stellar strengths that you felt that you [i]had[/i] to use for your build but at the same time their weaknesses weren't frustrating to the point of being obtrusive. He was 20% stronger than Isaac, 1 fewer heart containers, lower range, lucky with gambling, had a key to start, and no negative pills. Him lacking any active item let players go freestyle with him since you generally take whatever you get instead of abusing D6 like Isaac or keeping your absurd high-damage potential as Judas. While it's not nearly as much of a stretch, the Paper Clip is edging into that 'too good to lose' region as far as build elements go. Many players construct runs to go to the chest, and the Paper Clip easily facilitates that with as little as 1 key. It's no D6, it's no Book of Belial, and it's no Box of Friends. It's only in the trinket slot, but just like Wrath of the Lamb's Polaroid, it's one of those trinkets where you're generally going to ignore all other options offered simply because it's such a good thing to have. Maybe I'm just being uppity over overly-niche designs. At least I can still enjoy characters like Eden for maximal freestyle play.

[QUOTE=BoxinShrimp;49037567]Wait what? Can I get a link to that if it's possible?[/QUOTE] [url]https://imgur.com/9az3MAV[/url] people on the reddit are calling it that at least

So do we think that Greed mode will be extended further eventually? Playing silly buggers with the greed donation machine seems to suggest so. Also get the feeling that the gold statue at the end could be further used... Also worth noting, with explosive tears, the explosion can be triggered from shooting said statue (I use this with Piggy Bank to hurt myself to farm a few more coins at the end). This doesn't seem to be the case with any other objects in the game that I'm aware of.

[QUOTE=postal;49037577][url]https://imgur.com/9az3MAV[/url] people on the reddit are calling it that at least[/QUOTE]It would be nice if it turns out to be [sp]skinless Hush[/sp]. The [sp]Blue Womb route[/sp]is a bit of an anti-climax especially as [sp]you can continue on from there[/sp].

Does chaos ruin runs, make them better, or not really change much? The ability to find brimstone or sacred heart in item rooms and shops seems super worth it to me.

[QUOTE=Everything;49037919]Does chaos ruin runs, make them better, or not really change much?[/QUOTE] I'd say it's a good early item, falls off later on. It's good early because you get the chance of getting items you usually wouldn't get in gold rooms, but not so good later on cause you'll be searching for specific items and Chaos makes that harder.

[QUOTE=Everything;49037919]Does chaos ruin runs, make them better, or not really change much? The ability to find brimstone or sacred heart in item rooms and shops seems super worth it to me.[/QUOTE] I've only gotten it once but it feels like it "equalizes" reward rooms, meaning angel rooms and devil deals are overall worse but stores and item rooms have better items. I'd probably say that it's a positive change then, since those are much more common.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;49036275]everyone gets to ultra greed as a force of nature meanwhile I get there and have to tickle him down for years just to dunk 3 coins in his machine[/QUOTE] I don't even get how people break the game so much as was demonstrated on previous pages (shitton of followers, producing items out of thin air, HUGE TEARS, etc.). I have to resort to my go-to noob crutch character aka Azazel to at least dish out some damage and abuse flight over blocks to deal with bullets, just to get to the last floor. And even then, my most DPS-heavy runs, where I just obliterated monstro where it stood, have me chipping away at ultragreed health for hours, camping in corners waiting for the coin carnage to subside, and hoping my 7+ hearts will be enough to survive. I dread the day I unlock The Lost. --- edit --- Is it just me or there's really no brimstone available in greed mode?

Angel rooms would give an additional free item per floor so they'd still be worthwhile I guess. Does it change fixed drops? IE, sloth dropping a shop item instead of bob's head.

holy fuck speed is hard
