Evil Kit posted:Speaking of Lost, I just had an absolutely insane run that let me finally beat Mega Satan with Guppy's Collar saving me not just once but twice in the run. The Void portal actually spawned and I figured why the gently caress not? I then died incredibly stupidly to spiked rocks I didn't notice in a non-combat room. I've lost at least 3 runs to spiked rocks. It's gonna be a while before my brain starts to account for them, especially with curse of darkness.

Getting greedy and going for the extra boss item with the Lost transformation in Downpour II has been the death of many, many runs for me lol. Do you get the Holy Mantle effect in that section if you have it unlocked on normal Lost? If so I really need to knock that out.

For Jacob and esau they're basically a much shittier version of the forgotten lol, it's honestly kind of wild how the forgotten kicks so much rear end compared to the other bonus characters Oh no I just realized I have to do keeper runs again gently caress

OK id like to correct myself, The main Isaac experience is one of my favorite chill out games of all time, Greed mode just kinda sucks. It's boring.

I just bought the Repentance after like 7 years of last playing BoI. I didn't get that far back then but now I beat the Mom on my first run. In next 8 runs I beat mom 2 more times, but it's not going that well in general. 2 runs were brought down by me not getting any keys for the item rooms multiple floors in a row, that sucks so much. I have such a hard time dodging stuff, especially large amounts of projectiles. I get that this game does some kind of pseudo 3D with projectiles, with them able to fly above you, but how am I supposed to know where it is safe and where it's not with that?

The greed machine is really not that tough to fill up once you have enough experience to know when you're powerful enough to win. Like around Womb you should be strong enough to beat the boss and you can just save up from there (or buy soul hearts as needed). The greed machine doesn't jam as easily as the shop machine, so you can fill it in the normal course of unlocking in Greedier runs. Also the second phase of the boss drops coins all over, so you can donate over 99 in one run

Yeah it's not uncommon for most sites and applications these days to detect your OS and check compatibility. I'm not too familiar with Steam so I'm not sure if this is a Steam issue, or they just forgot to configure BoI to check compatibility. At least you should be able to refund it without hassle. Maybe a dumb question, but what's the feasibility of running a Windows VM for BoI? Or would that eat too many resources

Steam can absolutely tell if your OS can't play it. I'm a Mac user and I've seen that warning before.

All the changed antibirth items are just soo good. Even Revelation and Mucomyosis, my old favorites. Instead of an everlasting heart (which wasn't ported over to Rep because they're basically bone hearts i guess?) and brain worm, you get the angel boss laser attack along your regular tears + flight. Mucomyosis was changed from making killed enemies explode in an infections gas to a tear effect that sticks to enemies, grows big and explodes in a shower of more mucomyosis shots and poison gas. In worse news, I think they have removed the Leech as a drop from buckets and everything but rotten hearts from corpse polyps.

Accidentally disconnected my controller while doing the Jacob+Esau challenge and now the game thinks I'm in co-op and won't let me control both of them at once.

My only two complaints about the expansion are a.) being forced to beat hush 3 times to do anything and b.) having to beat womb on hard with lazarus to unlock bethany. Hard is really hard now let me ignore it!!!

Co-op is a great challenge and it feels well balanced. My partner and I were able to beat Mom once, and then almost beat the heart once, in our first 6 hours lol. I actually don't even mind starting all over from the beginning, because we're experiencing all the content from Afterbirth and onward for the first time, so that plus co-op practically makes it a brand new game for us. Game good

I am still stunned they didn't change gnawed leaf, the most broken and dumb item in the game. Two thirds of the time you find one it's an instant win (if you're desperate for a win) and that's actually all the item does, there basically isn't a non-degenerate use case. Idk if it works on the true final boss, but it works on everything else...

Probably the most useful non-starting item unlock for me is the stopwatch because it's op and shows up a lot but that's not tied to completion. Unlocking the D6 on isaac and the holy mantle on the lost are probably the two biggest upgrades by far though.

I love how a super powerful and fun run can end with a wimper by just visiting one room you had no idea about before. Everything I had got rerolled and I lost all my power.

I pretty much only play in Hard mode because I'm a dumbo who wants to get all the marks done I can done in as few runs as possible. Then again I should try turning it off again sometime and do some normal runs so I can take it easier.Sininu posted:I love how a super powerful and fun run can end with a wimper by just visiting one room you had no idea about before. Everything I had got rerolled and I lost all my power. I'm assuming you went into one of the double locked Dice rooms. If glance around the dice and you should see a mini picture of the kind of dice effect it has (d4, d20, entire floor d20, d6, forget me now, d100). Some people like playing games blind but this game is hard enough and often so obtuse I'd rather just check the wiki to make sure I'm not getting screwed.

Unlocking the D6 on isaac and the holy mantle on the lost are probably the two biggest upgrades by far though. Stopwatch got nerfed and is no longer OP. Now it reduces enemy speed and bullets, but not by the full "slowed" effect amount, just like 20%. It's all the time though, which is nice, you don't have to get hit to trigger it.

So basically have one be a familiar of the other, and give the ability to swap between the two? I'd go for that. Hell, I'd go for basically anything over the current implementation. Pixeltendo posted:How exactly do I (late game spoilers) put items into the bag of crafting for B-side Cain? Press Use Item to activate it, then press a direction to do a swipe attack that also picks up items. When you have eight (and like the item it's offering you), hold Use to get the item. Sininu posted:I love how a super powerful and fun run can end with a wimper by just visiting one room you had no idea about before. Everything I had got rerolled and I lost all my power. Was this the dice room, or is there ANOTHER room that rerolls you?

The only thing (most) characters get for Hard Mode completions is stupid co-op babies anyways, gently caress that. Especially now that we have real full co-op. You really only need the Heart/It Lives with Apollyon, The Forgotten and Lazarus, and everything for The Lost. I guess supposedly there's a new unlock for every Hard Mode note for every character but hahaha there's no way I'm ever doing that with Tainted Lost anyways so gently caress that.
