I get hit by those every single time, and also rooms where all the enemies are homing in on you a la bomblooms or whatever there called, the red mushy men, etc

why is being super OP dishonourable? surely whatever the game gives you is part of the honour, namaste

getting super OP feels good especially after you had like 10 runs in a row where you pick up nothing but bullshit but at a certain point being OP to the point where you're able to kill every enemy before they can move felt very empty and cheesy to me. like obviously killing mega satan with stock maggie or something is a diabolical challenge way beyond my means but it would be nice to know what the battle is like when i dont either die in under a minute or win in under a minute. when i play isaac now the runs that really excite me are the ones where i have a mixed bag, like good speed and damage but poo poo hp, or nice tear synergy but low damage, and manage to pull it out anyway. that feels honorable to me

my favorite part of rebirth was the challenges where you have no tears at all tho so this may just be a to each his own, thing

i never 100%ed Rebirth but i did get platinum god in the original game.

speaking of the original game, anyone who has it should try playing it now, lol. it's so ugly and laggy it's amazing i even played it 1 hour nevermind 200.

I wonder if there's going to be a new special secret that's supposed to take weeks to unlock, except someone just searches the code and figures it out right away.

I kind of wish they weren't adding Leaderboards because those are constantly getting hacked. Everyone who's serious about speedrunning the game streams or youtubes their run as proof.

i liked the ones in mirrors edge where you would start a thing and just immediately see the top time's ghost shoot off at impossible speed

will we be able to watch the top scoring runs, that would be cool

yeah, they nerfed samson and Rage as well, IIRC. in the original game your dmg went up with every enemy kill rather than damage taken, so by the time you reached the boss you had max dmg every floor no matter what

i am nowhere near good enough to get platinum god. heck, i still haven't even found megasatan or the lost. and my dying streak was around 140 for a while, but i never stopped enjoying it and i think this is a good thing to have in a videogame.
