Support NeoGAF

[RoaringHawk]

Maybe they are adding a headcrab boss fight :/

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Oh goddamnit, was looking forward to playing this tonight. Hope it gets fixed soon. Didn't something similar happen with Super Meat Boys release?

 

[duckroll]

Maybe they are adding a headcrab boss fight :/

So we'll see this game in 4 weeks then?

 

[kyubajin]

Is this common for Steam games? I've never purchased anything on release day...

 

[Kinky John]

Attention internet: we had a few minor issues making sure the soundtrack was added to the release sale of Isaac, the game will be up shortly

.

 

[GatorFan]

Just bought.

 

[Red]

Just bought.

Me too, but won't be able to play until tomorrow night.

I am so excited.

 

[mitheor]

Just bought.

Same here!

 

[Dead Prince]

.

could have done that after man.

 

[Salsa]

Downloading. Bought with soundtrack, you guys better do the same.

 

[Flunkie]

Downloading. Bought with soundtrack, you guys better do the same.

For less than a dollar more, why wouldn't you?

But does the soundtrack appear in the game list? Or just as music files in the game folder?

Edit: I should know from Frozen Synapse that it's the latter case, just want to reassure myself.

 

[Archie]

Just died in the first room I entered. lol

 

[kingschiebi]

Downloading. Bought with soundtrack, you guys better do the same.

As the command was given...

Steam has finished downloading "The Binding Of Isaac"

 

[wutwutwut]

For less than a dollar more, why wouldn't you?

Because my Steam Wallet had $4.51. Of course, it now has $0.02. :<

 

[Glass Rebel]

I did. Downloading this shit right. now.

 

[Red]

Wait I didn't see that option. I think I just got the vanilla package

Fuck I didn't scroll down far enough. Bought in browser and "with soundtrack" wasn't on screen. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

 

[Dead Prince]

if only renegade ops was this fast to fix and release.

 

[kyubajin]

Bought game + soundtrack. Can't wait to play!

 

[Red]

Oh good, you can get the soundtrack separately. Crisis averted.

FLAC version is mine.

 

[GatorFan]

Died after the second boss. I don't get what the secrets are though. Said I found a spider in the basement? lol Awesome game though

 

[Spruchy]

I might be retarded but is there a way to play this in full screen?

 

[Salsa]

Game + Soundtrack version is a folder with the MP3 soundtrack in it.

And its amazing.

 

[Crimson Clown]

Anyway to make it go fullscreen?

Edit: In game options menu. D'uh.

 

[Flunkie]

controller etc.

 

[Ken]

Over 100 unique items that not only give you powers but visually change your character.

Bought.

 

[RoaringHawk]

Bought with the soundtrack. Download faster dammit!

 

[perfect free]

Grawr, why do I even browse GAF at work. I want to play this now.

 

[Salsa]

Fuckin loving it.

LOVE the idea of a

Spoiler

machine that trades your hearts for coins

, plenty of stuff that basically makes you set up your own difficulty through risk/reward.

 

[Crimson Clown]

The lack of controller support is kind of baffling. Playing with the keyboard and/or mouse doesn't feel right.

 

[Stitch]

is there no 360 pad support or am I too stupid to enable it?

edit: ok I guess keyboard only
edit2: wasd?? yeah no thanks. I wait for the pad support...

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Hmm... I'm on the fence about this. It hasn't been on my radar before - but you guys seem to like it, what makes it a must buy?

 

[Salsa]

is there no 360 pad support or am I too stupid to enable it?

Nope, at least for now (i can see why, given the hints, way of shooting/number of buttons and whatnot).

I'll set up a .cfg file to use with joytokey and put it here to download, as soon as i die for the first time

There's no mouse.

edit: ah! he added mouse shooting at the last minute it seems, but yeah its more akward.

I love you

Pros:
- Creative theme
- Interesting gameplay mechanics
- Lots of mystery in what the gameplay offers
- Pretty fun

Cons:
- No controller support
- Resolution support is terrible
- Takes ages to load after launch
- Framerate drops galore
- Controls kinda lack responsiveness
- Game fails to terminate process upon exit

 

[Salsa]

Died with Gurdy, and god damn do i love this game.

Gonna work on a pad support alternative now.

Pros:
- Creative theme
- Interesting gameplay mechanics
- Lots of mystery in what the gameplay offers
- Pretty fun

Cons:
- No controller support
- Resolution support is terrible
- Takes ages to load after launch
- Framerate drops galore
- Controls kinda lack responsiveness
- Game fails to terminate process upon exit

Had none of this, but the other ones are understandable. Controls arent nearly as tight as Tommy's on SMB, so for one coming from that it can be kinda jarring, but id say i got used to it (different weapons also shoot differently and it helps).

Im expecting a patch in the next couple hours to fix the process not ending thing and the load times.

 

[duckroll]

I think the game needs a few patches before it'll really shine. The core idea is really interesting, and the game is fun, but the technical aspects are really pretty bad, especially compared to SMB.

Hmm will wait for patches then

 

[kingschiebi]

Also died on the second boss, but I was wearing a laser eye and latex/leather suit that a demon sold me for my life.
The only thing missing would be the eye firing lasers of understanding.

Awesome start and I can only imagine that it'll get better from here.

Still haven't figured out how the different colored hearts work out, though.
Seems as if the red ones are "regular" health and the blue ones seem to be one-shot bonus health.

This game is for sure made by crazy people for crazy people - I love it.

In rooms where there are like 8-9 enemies all firing garbage at you, the framerate DEFINITELY drops. The problem isn't so much the framerate, but the responsiveness when it drops. It's a bit iffy regularly, but in these situations it becomes kinda lame to try evading stuff while shooting since it's just sluggish.

 

[d0c_zaius]

yea I didnt have any frame rate drops. The resolution thing is a little o_0, but the game is awesome.

 

[Salsa]

Hmm will wait for patches then

While i agree with some of what duckroll said; id say dont. The game is great fun once you get into it and knowing Edmund the patches will coming later today or tomorrow.

 

[duckroll]

Honestly, I don't see why anyone who is really interested in the game at all would "wait". It's less than 5 dollars. You can barely get a good lunch for that amount of money.

 

[Dambrosi]

Yeah, this game is cheap (yay!) and looks cool, like Smash TV crossed with Legend Of Zelda and Chris Cunningham's worst cartoon nightmares, but no controller support? I'll wait for it to be patched in, thanks. There's no excuses for lacking pad support in PC games these days.

*remembers that AAAaaaaAAAaaaaAAA! never had controller support patched in, despite numerous requests*

*STILL salty at Dejibaan Games for that*

 

[Eusis]

There's no excuses for lacking pad support in PC games these days.

While this isn't one of those cases, there ARE a lot of games that are either designed specifically for kb/m or simply would be a mess to map to a gamepad (like a lot of strategy games.)

 

[kyubajin]

Man this game is hard... and I don't know what any of the items do until I waste them :/

Hardcore baby.

 

[Salsa]

Alright, finished a controller support alternative:

Instructions: Just download, unrar the file, run it and stop bitchin!

[Glass Rebel]

I played about 6 times, got no further than basement three, encountered 3 different big bosses and 4 mini bosses, was at the arcade, got 3 familiars, several upgrades and LASER TEARS.

Love this game.

 

[Dambrosi]

While that's true, what I'm getting at is that "those that can, should", i.e., there's no excuse for this kind of game not to include controller support as standard. It's clearly an oversight which must be remedied.

EDIT: And I see that our very own SalsaShark has provided for us. Thanks, dude!

 

[Ashodin]

Binding of Isaac is going to be one of tonight's top stories on mah news show!
