Finished the Bloody Mary challenge with a great early pickup of the Yum Heart. I missed the stackable damage increase, but basically infinite health certainly helped. e: had the game crash a few times when opening chests now. Hopefully that gets ironed out.

So far the only Antibirth enemy I have an issue with are the burning flies that circle you, and shoot too. Completely kills some alt shooting builds.

Yeah I wonder what the idea was behind those. If you got too little damage, you're basically bound to get hit at least once (since they shoot you at almost point blank, you need to take them out before they shoot) and if you got Ipecac then ????? gently caress you I guess?

Your Computer posted:I really wanted to like Bethany but I think they made her stats too low, so you really have to rely on her item. Her gimmick is cool and has a lot of potential (soul hearts as item charge), but I tried using it with several other items and nothing really synergizes as well as her starting item, making her a bit of a one-trick pony. She has a lot of synergy. Anything that drops extra spirit hearts like Dark Bum or The Relic, and her spirit shield benefits from BFF. My runs with her have either been terrible or completely overpowered, nothing in between. I did have a run with her where I had a ton of flames circling me and had to fight a boss that moved fast and was invincible unless I hit it with a bomb. Since it was invincible, it ate up all my flames and left me with her base damage, which wasn't that impressive. I still won, but I went from overpowered to mediocre in one room.

Oh yeah, maybe I worded myself badly. I meant that I feel like she relies too heavily on one item (her starting item) and one playstyle, making her fun to play the first couple of times but quickly becoming boring since BoI is all about crazy synergies and each run being different. If you want to do something other than the whole "flames everywhere" thing then she just sucks.  Also, spoilering this just in case but: god. drat. homing. vis.

I'm down in Sheol with Bethany and I it crashes at every other room once I've killed everything and the doors should open. I can't even bomb them open before that as it doesn't work on that floor. I hope there's some patching to be done and it isn't just my system.

Is the witness fight always so zoomed out or is it combining with having maxscale 3 in my options? because it was nigh impossible to see where I'm meant to be dodging through this bullet hell. I was screwed that fight anyway since right before it I picked up almond milk (another soy milk, hooray  ) but i pretty much took damage after damage with no way to clearly see what's happening

Bethany synergizes surprisingly well with Isaac's Heart, which I picked up due to curse of the blind. The flames do a good job of helping shield you from random bullshit damage.

I really like the change of perspective but that opinion may change if I ever feel like killing it with every character. Tried Jacob last night and I'm not sure if it's fun or not. One character got flight and that really broke up the pairing which made things a lot tougher.

Antibirth just refuses to work for me, I usually manage to avoid problems with getting mods to work but I'm giving up on this for now. Whenever I launch the .exe I get a 'this program has stopped working' error and it closes. Tried installing it in my usual steam games folder (on 2nd HD), complete reinstall into the default steam directory in c/program files, running as administrator etc. But it always just stops working as soon as I launch it.

Antibirth looks so sweet, I just watched the Northernlion runs. I just don't want to play the game without Afterbirth (and soon, Afterbirth+). Really hoping they can redo it with the A+ modding tools - maybe then, Edmund and Nicalis can turn Antibirth into an official update.

Small rock giving you speed down is loving awful in Antibirth. Speed is such a crutch that anything that lowers it is always going to be an enormous negative. All the damage in the world can't help you when you're getting boxed in every other room.

Small rock always gave a speed down, but for some reason it normally doesn't actually change your speed stat until you have something else change your speed, like an empress card or any of the many speed up items. Antibirth just makes it so the virus/small rock/lord of the pit speed changes happen immediately.

Antibirth is amazing, but I completely forgot about the issuse my logitech keyboard had with BOI. It won't accept enough inputs to let me move diagonally while shooting, so I end up only moving in a cardinal directionkemikalkadet posted:Antibirth just refuses to work for me, I usually manage to avoid problems with getting mods to work but I'm giving up on this for now.

But really you should just get a decent mechanical so it won't be a problem.

Game crashed on basement 1 on the challenge with Jacob and Esau, and when I hit continue to try to start over it spawns me with just Jacob, but crashes every time I leave the first room. Oh well.

Pretty much all of the Antibirth content is excellent barring crashing bugs, a couple of stupid items (looking at you Damocles) and their propensity to make pseudo-gently caress closet rooms with almost guaranteed damage.

Yeah, it's a shame about the damage/flight check rooms (some rooms are guaranteed damage unless you've gotten enough damage ups or flight) because the more I play of it the more impressed I am. Most of the bosses, items and enemies are more interesting and well programmed than Edmund and Nicalis have managed, and all around the quality is 100% on par with the base game. They've put a ton of detail into the different effects, synergies, etc. and I have no idea how they even managed to mod in some of the new mechanics. It's incredibly impressive.

The hardest enemy so far is muscle memory: I've hosed up nearly every run so far by jumping down the hole rather than opening the special door in the boss rooms out of habit. That, and having some tear effect that makes me gently caress up the fire pattern puzzle but putting out the wrong fires.

I wound up resorting to using bombs to put out the right fires because they were more precise than my tears.

Will I ever get to the point where I remember what all these items and cards do while I'm playing? I have about 20 hours into the game right now, and I'm starting to remember some of the item effects, but there's hundreds of them! I either need to check the wiki every time, or I end up wasting things because I'm confusing them with other cards/items. How does this play out for those of you with more playing time?

Super No Vacancy posted:*playing the best game in like 5 years for the 100th hour, for which i paid probably like $8* aaauuughghh wheres my fuckin CHANGELOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG eat this loving TWEEET BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not an entitlement thing. It's dumb when anything updates without telling you what changed because it's nice to know. The problem with this game is they want to cultivate that old playground mystique where no one quite knows what's true and what isn't, and for the most part that's a major reason I like it so much. Maybe there actually is a new room with a weird layout! Maybe sometimes when you teleport you get taken to a weird glitchy room, maybe if you bomb a ton of tinted rocks you'll unlock a new item! So when new poo poo gets discovered we have no way of knowing if it's intentional, and they're slow as poo poo to fix some bugs like the mom exploit or chest looping so random poo poo keeps changing and there's no way to know what's going on. So yeah, it's kinda annoying for a game as dependant on prior knowledge as this to change poo poo and not say anything. And then on the other hand you have something like Gungeon where they're super open about changes but I hate that there's no mystery in that game so I dunno people don't know what they want. In other news the sky is blue, and the sun will rise tomorrow

DavidAlltheTime posted:Will I ever get to the point where I remember what all these items and cards do while I'm playing? I've probably played about ~120 hours between the original + Rebirth/Afterbirth, and I still look up probably over half of the items I see. Granted those hours have been spread out over a few years, so I forget a lot of them after not having played for awhile.
