I've fallen back into this game recently. Last time I played it was the original game published to steam almost a decade ago. Anyways I love how thoroughly you can break this game to create hilarious playthroughs. Just had this happen now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu8x7858lVI

I saw someone else using a mod that would show a popup of the item's description in-game which would be extremely useful. Does anyone know what that is? e: vvv awesome ty vvv PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Jan 15, 2020 |

Man this game can really burn you in unexpected ways sometimes. I was doing an Eve run and managed to get both 20/20 and Goat's Head on the first floor. Second floor I get Dead-Eye, lot's of tears-up pills, and a Magic Mushroom. By the third floor I'm just melting everything in my path and manage to swing a gat drat Dark Bum. Awesome. Melting bosses in a manner of seconds. Nothing can stop me now. Except I was so excited I forgot to pick up either the Polaroid or Negative after killing Mom  I bombed every single rock and took every teleport pill I could get my hands on in the Cathedral. No luck. gently caress Anyways quick question: let's say I'm trying to get an icon for a character, let's say The Lamb for Eve. After I beat The Lamb I get the chance to move on to The Void. If I take that and get killed to I still get credit for killing The Lamb? Or does nothing count unless I actually finish the run? A couple of times now I've had a pretty good loadout to take on either Hush or Delirium but I instead opted to finish the run because I didn't want to chance it. However I'm starting to realize that may be playing it too safe PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Jan 30, 2020 |

Wildtortilla posted:I'm super late to be getting into this game but I think it's happening. I've had it on my Switch for nearly 2 years. I played maybe 15-20 hours and grew tired of it. A few months ago I got REALLY into Enter the Gungeon and Dead Cells. I decided to revisit this game yesterday and I wasn't too keen on it during my first run, I think I've since learned to enjoy the game again. The limited firing directions and enemies that randomly change speed were really off putting after Gungeon. But I think I just needed to reacquaint myself to this game. When you're first starting it's pretty much impossible to do anything "wrong". You'll continue to unlock stuff as long as you have successful runs. You'll also want to do the first handful of challenges as they unlock very useful items. The game starts to open up more once you've beaten Satan a couple of times

Happy Hedonist posted:Is there anything specifically to work towards or am I good just blindly playing? It’s such a good game to play while smoking weed and listening to podcasts. I mean if you're having fun then go for it. If you want to make "progress" then try filling out the post-its for each character on the character select screen. Also the challenges but some of those are EXTREMELY unchill. Past that you'll be getting into really obscure stuff that you'll need to pull up a guide for to even realize what's even possible

Wildtortilla posted:Painfully I just learned what a dice room is in Sheol. Had a loving awesome run and was a killing machine. Then I found a dice room that turned me into a floating legless hobo clown that shot coins but I couldn't just shoot, instead I dropped the coins and could put a bunch down... then when I released the right stick they scattered uselessly at anything except enemies. I have no idea how I was supposed to control that bullshit. lmao welcome to binding of isaac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9270u0MkI2w

Wildtortilla posted:It definitely was partly head of the keeper, I got it again on my current run. Except this run is 1000x cooler than the one I hosed up last night. I'm currently a flying bat with 10 hearts, all a mix of soul and black, shooting long range, shotgun spread, giant coins. I have a helper than collects red hearts and turns them into soul hearts. A swarm of flies occasionally fly out to attack my enemies too. This game rules. Dark Bum is a top tier familiar imo

Wildtortilla posted:I broke the game in a whole new way for me: summons. I'm definitely turned into guppy, and maybe also Bezelbub, I'm not sure on that. I can summon armies of giant blue flies very easily with Guppy's Head. I also have meat boy running around and a rider courtesy of 7 seals. So that's all insane and just that combo obliterated It Lives within moments of entering the fight, I didn't get a chance to fire one of my ridiculous tears. Yup. Unless you're going for something specific on the floor killing the boss is all you need to do. This is why the Emperor card is so useful sometimes. Also lol no- that's not anywhere close to 'breaking' the game. That's just what we'd call that run being 'won' Breaking the game is when it goes so nuts that you're not sure your computer is about to crash because every room is just an incomprehensible mess of sprites and colors and explosions

Renaissance Robot posted:Having recently unlocked it myself, I'll say it's sometimes a life saver but it's easy to get burned by hubris when you decide to reroll an item that's okay but not awe inspiring, and then it turns into something even worse like the bean or the poop. In case anyone wasn't aware: each time you pick up the bean it has a small chance of becoming 'Wait, what?' which is extremely useful at the beginning of runs. If you already have an active item that switches out when you pick it up and you can just pick the bean up over and over again until you finally get it. It usually doesn't take too long either

iirc the duke has an upper limit on flies he'll spawn so just focus on killing flies that are an immediate danger and focusing the rest of your shots on him. it sucks but that's basically your only option

I have 125 hours in and still haven't even gotten to Mega Stanley let alone beat him. Does anyone have a reliable method or do I really just have to keep beating my head against that wall until I finally break through?

Yeah I can beat The Lamb fairly reliably. My issue was getting the key pieces. It seems like I never have the health to tank through enough sacrifices to get both pieces

Very next run I managed to put the two key pieces together and was absolutely barreling towards Satan with Deadeye and a shitload of tears/damage upgrades. It's been a few months since I played so my mind blanked out and i picked up a dead cat in a cellar right before Satan and immediately knew I'd hosed up. I'm gonna be kicking myself over that for a week

Wildtortilla posted:I bought RE4 on Saturday, played it for about 3 hours over Sat-Sun, and I'm back to Isaac already. I realized this morning I haven't played as Lilith yet, so now I'm 30ish minutes into my first Lilith run and it's going quite well AND I killed my first angel and have half a key piece. If I understand things correctly, if I collect the other key piece, I should head to The Chest where there will be a door I can unlock to fight Mega Stanley? Yep. You can also be a dipshit like me and do it via the Dark Room.

Finally beat Speed! That challenge was hard as hell. I was able to get lucky with a joker card at the beginning that gave me Maw of the Void. It was super risky taking it as I'd be down to a single heart but the ability to clear out rooms rapidly + being able to generate black hearts made it worth it. On the second floor I was offered guppy's paw and dead cat. gently caress yes. 9 lives at three soul hearts each basically guaranteed my win as long as I was fast. And fast I was  I didn't use any of my spare lives until It Lives! and it really came down to charging Maw of the Void before I walked in and just getting lucky with its spray pattern. I got it on the third try. gently caress that challenge

I beat it on the third try  I got Mom's Knife on the second level and from there on it would throw me an item like PJs or matchbook at key moments to barely keep me going. In the womb I got charm of the vampire and then out of one of the red chests before Mega Satan I got Guppy's Paw which was the only thing that got me through it. Had to sacrifice two red hearts to get through the fight and ended with just one red and one soul heart left. edit: Oh I also got ball of bandages and a pretty fly on the way. That plus a bajillion speed up pills before Mega Satan At the second phase where it turns into bullet hell I knew my only shot was to rush to the top and just stab him in the face while tanking damage and praying that he died before I did. He did That could have been so much more difficult lol PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Aug 30, 2020 |

Last night I decided to start filling out my hard mode post its and managed to complete a Magdalene run where I went up through the chapel, the chest, and was able to beat delirium. Today I fired up the game to do another run and I'm seeing that it gave me credit for it lives, isaac, ???, but not delirium. What the hell? edit: I'm a dummy and forgot that the hush icon isn't delirium PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Aug 31, 2020 |
