Do you pick it up?
Do you pick it up?
>Start of run
Sure.
>Middle/End of run with Libra
100%.
>Middle of run without Libra
If I have a lot of on-hit shit like Explosivo or Holy Shot, sure. Otherwise, no.
>End of run without Libra
No.
never ever
damage gang
uh haha NO I do NOT want to become a bimbo, which is what you get when you drink plant estrogen! you turn into freaking GIRL thats gross. in fact I would rather chew my steak, which has testosterone in it
Nope. It's goddamn annoying with it's push back and no matter what you pair it with it makes the game take longer. None of that is fun.
haha i get this one
what is it with isaac's shooting mechanics? compare killing enemies in this game to any shmup.
>slow ass bullets
>can't really shoot while firing because it curves the bullets
>hitting bullets knocks enemies back
>bullets have no range at the start
>weird perspective makes it hard to tell where exactly hurtboxes are
i just want like nuclear throne levels of shooting goodness but with isaac's item stackery.
*caps your damage*
>>slow ass bullets
Not if you get tears ups.
>>can't really shoot while firing because it curves the bullets
You get better at it.
>>hitting bullets knocks enemies back
doesn't matter much with enough damage but yeah.
>>bullets have no range at the start
Not always a bad thing, you do need to adapt to it though.
>>weird perspective makes it hard to tell where exactly hurtboxes are
You get better at it. Most of the game really, you practice and it's just second nature. However some Items I just can't stand playing.
Fuck no, why would I pick up a game as slow and tedious as Isaac when Nuclear Throne exists?
sometimes in mid or late run because im always curious what kind of synergy it with have with my current set
it almost always ruins my run tho
Only with libra
ONIONS ONIONS SNOY
ONIONS LOL ONIONS
Should i do it?
nah just pirate it
it's a good game user
Okay i DID laugh yes
ANTIBIRTH WHEN
Heck no. The loss of damage isnt mitigated by the tears boost. Totally not worth it.
My nigga.
Gungeon is really good too, very similar to nuclear throne.
wait for repentance on december
How did they know before the memes?
It's been a meme since ages. Even VTMB had it and made fun of it, and that was 2004
Or, get this, you could make the game more like a shmup and then tune the enemies to be more aggressive, resulting in a game that's more fun with less downtime, where shooting enemies is fun from in the very first room.
>hmm I think this one isn't that great
>*pause*
>alt+tab
>new tab... isaac... cheat she... *click*
>milk...
>......... Nah I'm really hurting for damage this run...
lmfao
why isn't the external item descriptions mod just implemented in the game already? who the fuck actually blindly picks up items after edmund has added hundreds of shit items?
Almost never as it's far more useful to consume it with a black rune or the void
>apollyon
I'm sorry I didn't know it was CASUAL HOURS
Fun fact:
Basedmilk is a "special item", in the class of brimstone or godhead, which is very rarely generated and only a few can be got every run.
objectively correct answer
it's not a special item anymore actually
But why? Is it to mask the fact that there are hundreds of combos that either don't work or are downgrades?
I pick up every item I see because I'm a noob
Yes because I'm not a little bitch
only if im feeling

Do I have Coal/Libra?
Is Curse of the Blind on and I can't tell what anything is?
DECEMBER BUT THERE IS A STREAM FOR IT DURING PAX
Oh shit looks like you're right
>tfw switch version gets it later
Do we know the pricing???!?!??!!
Probably the same price as afterbirth (10$)
Can't wait to see Pill Crusher become a thing.
You know what I'm just gonna post stuff from the Antibirth blog now.
Actually never mind most of the .GIFs on their site are broken. Fuck.
If I buy Antibirth does it include Afterbirth+? I avoided that after the shitshow Afterbirth turned out to be.
Aww
is repentance out yet
>still no release date for Repentance
You will need all the DLC to play nu-Antibirth, so yes sadly.
December 20th.
Guess I'll wait to see if it unfucks its shit then, Afterbirth really soured how much I enjoyed Rebirth.
$10 is a great value for a game I've regularly seen people put 300+ hours into easily
Yes, but i restart the run if i don't pick up more damage shortly thereafter
I hope you know they're adding damage scaling to the witness.
source?
>damage scaling
Well that answers that
>they're adding damage scaling to the witness.
Is that good or bad?
>they're adding damage scaling to the witness
Do you like taking forever to kill hush and delirium with high damage?
So that what it means, well at least mods can fix that
Bad. Damage scaling means that if you do too much damage per second, it gives the boss a progressively larger reduced damage taken multiplier. It is possible to break the damage scaling cap, but it basically requires a butt-fuckingly broken run with hundreds of items.
curving the bullets is super useful against enemies, it's more of a bonus imo
Nice to see the original after so many edits ruin the punchline
source?
nah it takes away much more than it adds. go boot up a gradius game dude. go play r-type.
Delirium apparently doesn't have damage scaling
isaac is a way different game than gradius type stuff, it isnt meant to be like that though
They cannot.
Shit like being able to curve bullets is what made me get so into BoI in the first place, you can do interesting trickshots like sniping enemies behind rocks at an angle. I love shmups but the way BoI plays is a totally different playstyle that rewards patience (at least in Rebirth and previous versions).
Kilburn mentioned that he was going to add damage scaling to the witness in a later update to Antibirth (the one that was supposed to come out a year ago in March). He might've said it in an interview somewhere if I can find it.
Yea but only in his base form. When he transforms into any boss he gets it. Plus he has like a billion and 1 hp so it feels like he has it regardless.
>bombs not lit
0/10
Yes its fun as hell
Ah, wasn't an interview but here you go from two years ago.
Least he knows how annoying it is.
>put in a bunch of game-trivializing items
>wtf why is the game so trivial and boring
>I know, I'll make the bosses really spongey and boring

>trivializing
Go on, name a dozen of these items that trivialize the game more than it normally is.
Rock fucking Bottom; an item so broken it's either going to be removed from the game or reworked into something completely different.
literally everything in this image is just a damage buff, a item that adds more projectiles or a item that spawns items
Wanna know how I know you've never touch Anti?
Becoming an OP faggot is half the appeal of this game goddammit
I was speaking to the general game design of the whole Isaac series.
Rock Bottom is also an all stats down by default. It has powerful synergy, but if you get it early, it makes everything more difficult and if you get it late, you're not touching it, period.
Okay, that I can agree with.
It's not an all stats down, it just resets your stats to base. If you pick it up at the start it's a free win.
Huh. Guess I remembered wrong.
>get Rock Bottom
>get no items with negative stat changes all game
>TFW I never saved that seed that gave me both the Giant Bean and Mucormycosis floor 1
You do not know true beauty until you've seen an entire room vanish in one giant fart cascade.
If I have libra already taken.
I'm now officially concerned for Rep's quality.
>onions milk + ipecac + my reflection + tiny planet
Don't forget Wiggle Worm.
>Rock Bottom
>Polyphemus
>Onions Milk
Don't forget Eve's Mascara
Don't forget the horrifying hypothetical.
>Get this with Succubus as Lilith in Repentance
>Do boss rush
>Attack goes through the fucking roof as soon as you leave the room and never goes down
>Shit damage in 99% of runs
>Get lucky and get high DPS
>It doesn't matter because of DPS caps
Why would you not reward me you monkeys
Xbox still don't have Afterbirth+
Never played anti-birth, what's the path one has to take to fight the witness?
One must bear the Downpour, the Mines, and the Mausoleum.
One must also solve three puzzles, one on each of the 2nd floors.
>An empty room whose Shadow speaks truth
>Four buttons and a dusty floor
>Two rooms, a mirror apart
Any of you lads play Revelations?
Some of the items like Burning Bush are really cool honestly.
Will it ever get the Repentance treatment?
No but the creators are working on ways to ensure that it stays updated for Repentance.
Once it comes out you can just wait for Revelations to be updated and experience peak Isaac.
>can't slap on every single massive mod without lag
>the number of mods that won't get a repentance update
I feel like the people who were scorned by AB+'s modding tools might come back for Rep since Kilburn is fixing the modding API.
