The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-03 07:31:28

it comes out tomorrow.

Odradek · 2014-11-03 07:40:21

I hope it runs on my lappy.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-03 08:08:02

Same.

That is a concern, I assume it will have graphical settings but I suppose you never know.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-03 08:45:06

Bunny · 2014-11-03 10:58:39

Already got it and I'm ready to play as soon as I can

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-03 11:32:37

I wish I could afford it, but, no money.

Given Ed's stance on such things I may just pirate it and buy it at Christmastime.

Odradek · 2014-11-03 11:48:51

Will the DLC be called Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth?

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-03 11:49:57

No, it will be called Isaac: ReIsaac: Isaac of the Isaac

Tanya · 2014-11-03 13:10:45

The dlc will be called: Reborn.

Duh

eriophora zia · 2014-11-03 14:26:12

Isaac: The ReIsaac of Isaac:Rerebirth

Really though, I got FAR too into the original Binding of Isaac. I can at least lay claim to Platinum God, though. Still fairly proud of that, honestly.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-03 14:37:44

I would have Platinum God if I didn't switch to SpiderMod before getting the last item I needed (Daddy's Love).

Made the sentence terrible

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-04 10:19:23

Northernlion is streaming

Fossilmaiden · 2014-11-04 10:27:45

It will almost certainly run better than BoI did, on the grounds that it isn't written in Inefficiency: The Programming Language.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-04 10:30:27

I have a terrible computer though

and them lighting effects

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-04 12:42:28

Involuntary Boss Rush Mode hype

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-04 17:53:33

first death screen

Fossilmaiden · 2014-11-04 22:46:09

Unlocked Lazarus, Azazel, and Eve in one run, which was also my first Rebirth win. Polyphemus with added splash damage is hilarious.

Tanya · 2014-11-05 00:51:40

My frame rate with this game is terrible, what do?

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 01:26:55

I have no idea, my framerate with the original was abysmal but it works fine for me.

Tanya · 2014-11-05 01:48:28

Update, Framerate better, now it just keeps crashing

eriophora zia · 2014-11-05 01:51:27

I haven't had any problems with Rebirth so far, but I also didn't have any major problems with the original... Every once in a while it'd do something odd or crash, but very infrequently.

Tre · 2014-11-05 01:51:32

this game's free on PlayStation Plus this month so if I wanted to I could spring for it on the Vita or the PS4

y/n?

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 02:02:07

Acquire it.

I know some of the problems were solvable by deleting the local content on Steam and then re-installing, so you might wanna try that.

Tanya · 2014-11-05 02:04:33

By sheer coincidence, I had to reinstall it.

eriophora zia · 2014-11-05 02:54:11

Just got my first Mom kill! Only 6 deaths in.

There's a lot of really cool new content. I'm having a bunch of fun with this.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 03:02:07

so has anyone figured out what Magnet Tears do

eriophora zia · 2014-11-05 03:34:07

I don't think I've gotten those yet?

Does anyone know if the rainbow poop have any purpose outside of looking pretty? It didn't seem to do anything when I destroyed it...

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 04:03:58

I have no idea what those do.

Just got my first Satan kill. Important items were:

20/20

Antigravity

Infestation 2

Guppy's Head

Guppy's Tail

The Dead Cat

Lord of the Pit

like 12 damage upgrades

I unlocked a ton of stuff, including Eden.

Tanya · 2014-11-05 05:25:48

So I started an Azazel run, got triple shot, 2 all stats upgrades, the mark, jesus juice, sacred heart. >.<

Most powerful run, I two-shot satan.

Tanya · 2014-11-05 06:06:22

Spoilers for a new item:

Spoiler:

Demon buddy is definitely worth taking, converts full on full, red heart drops into black and/or spirit hearts.

Fossilmaiden · 2014-11-05 11:10:24

I want to like Azazel, but their attack noise bugs the hell out of me. (Also, guys, spoilering character names is kinda pointless, considering they're all on the select screen from the start.)

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 15:21:44

I was doing it for the benefit of anyone who doesn't have the game yet.

Spoiler:

Also, Azzie seems to scale terribly. He's very powerful early on but that unique nerfed version of Brimstone he starts with doesn't seem to synergize with much of anything.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 15:37:07

y'all

Spoiler:

It works amazingly with Tammy's Head and Ludovico Technique.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 16:47:13

I hated Ludovico in Community Remix and having a hard time convincing myself to give it a try in this game.

Fossilmaiden · 2014-11-05 18:26:46

Just beat the Boss Rush as Isaac. ...Wow.

Tre · 2014-11-05 19:46:12

And so it begins.

(Playing on my Vita, btw.)

Tre · 2014-11-05 20:18:46

So, I'm not the only one who kinda sucks at this game when first starting out, am I?

Three or four runs in and I can't seem to get past Basement 2. The ways it changes from run to run are fun, though.

Obā-san · 2014-11-05 20:23:24

it is brutal, it took me like 50-70(?) runs to beat mom in vanilla

granted im not super amazing

Tre · 2014-11-05 20:36:29

I GOT TO THE CAVES!!!!!

a small victory but a victory nonetheless

Here's hoping I don't jinx it too much, but I've got some psweet loot too:

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 20:49:11

don't use The Dio the d10 on bosses.

Tre · 2014-11-05 20:53:11

I've mostly been making use of the BBF to whittle down boss health (making them all land on it) and then wailing on them with tears (pun very much intended).

Got to Caves 2!

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 20:54:41

You should mostly focus on unlocking things.

It's probably going to be a while until you actually beat Mom for the first time.

Also can you do seeds on the Vita? Try BASE MENT.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 20:56:12

Has anyone else become Lord of The Flies?

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 21:01:17

Also there's apparently a Constellation Transformation but no one can seem to work out how exactly you get it.

Tre · 2014-11-05 21:01:40

I can do seeds!

I'll have to try it on another save. Just died, but something on me let me come back (albeit as a cadaver).

Salix Babylonika · 2014-11-05 21:02:48

That'd be The Ankh most likely.

Tre · 2014-11-05 21:10:18

Ah, groovy.

Made it to the Depths.

And boy, what a looker am I. :P

Think I'll pick it up again some other time to see if I can survive like that. The chances are probably a bit slim, but eh. I guess this game's another one for the List Of Things I Never Thought I'd Like, which is groovy.
