I'm just getting back from work!
Yep. Creepy as hell. I really love the title theme as well.
Edit: Overall, the soundtrack is intense, in lack of a better word.
You son of a bitch
Edit: I love the cathedral track.
I believe there is also a large fidelity increase for the audio in Rebirth as well.
I love how the title theme goes into solo vocals when you start the game, the faint 'la-la la-la-la-la'.
It's certainly different. Original title theme was delicate, innocent, but at the same time foreboding and intimidating. Overall a lot of soundtrack was... hauntingly beautiful. Definitely something special.
The new one is more straightforward, but there are some good tracks. As said, Sheol is incredible.
Edit: Listening on headphones from bandcamp made me appreciate it more, most of the tracks are quite nuanced, something that's not apparent during gameplay.
flat worm and woosh are far from terrible
Seems so.

Cod AW hasn't had a look in since Wednesday due to this
dunno.. flat worm makes your tears oblong so it's easier to hit enemies and whip worm (wooosh!) makes your tears shoot really fast

This, FC4 & GTAV will be the only new games I will be playing from now until the end of year
If Hotline Miami 2 releases this year, I'll also check that out though
It's quickly growing on me. Although I admit liking a deal of the soundtrack prior to release already, I feel like there's an overall vibe to it that sets the mood for Isaac in a bit of a different way.
Danny B's soundtrack is one I still love and in the context of the original game it did a great job in setting a sort of depressing tone that focuses mostly on how relatively cruel the reality of Isaac is (already depressing enough with it's premise, gets incredibly more depressing once you continue unlocking more endings and dive deeper into the theories surrounding the game and the true story of Isaac), while still coloring it with rich melodies that compound how mostly bizarre the game is.
Meanwhile, Ridiculon's soundtrack seems to focus mostly on the world around Isaac. Visually, other than the pixels, Rebirth is mostly familiar. But the music sets a completely different tone for the game and I almost feel like DB's soundtrack wouldn't really work as much. It's like a change and return to the weird depths that are more pronounced this time since a lot has changed in terms of content and encounters. The soundtrack also has a lot more general atmosphere to it, with background effects and textures that weren't present in the original, making it feel more immersing in terms of environments. Sheol really "feels" like a legitimate track of the damned.
I dunno, I kind of love it. It's more twisted. Rather than a seeming extension of Isaac's plight it's more of a declaration for how the underbelly of the basement sets the stage.

I keep hitting the red poop!
is there any stuff that you can do/unlock only in hard mode?
I might wait to finish the game a 4th time then.

When you first start yes. Once you unlock more items and everything is terrible it feels like OG isaac. Cobaltstreak is having issues on hard mode, and he never had issues in original isaac.

Is there any point in using characters that arent the good ones? I mean I unlocked Azeal and many others, is there any reason to ever go back to isaac? Do I need to beat the game certain ways with isaac to get specific unlocks?

Everyone keeps saying this but I am not seeing it
Im not Isaac beginner either, I put close to 200hrs into the original but so far over a period of around 10hrs played so far, I have only managed to beat mom onceI guess I am just either out of practice or unlucky
If you want to get the Platinum God you're going to have to beat all the "final" bosses as all characters. Overall choosing what character you want to go with is a matter of preference. Isaac, Lazarus and Cain are there for the "balanced" runs while Magdalene and Azazel are for easier runs (latter is arguable but a shortened Brimstone is still a Brimstone and instant Lord Of The Pit is a huge plus). Eve and Samson are there for a higher challenge while Eden is the character for people who are truly ingrained with the game and can adapt to any situation.
Also, Isaac eventually unlocks the D6 as a starting item which is incredibly valuable, meaning he overall comes with a perk as well.

I have the same problem.
I went toearly and the game just seems to have skipped that ending and there is no way to get it now. :/Sheol
Ahhhhh I went there also early and now I'm apparently missing an ending as well. That's kind of frustrating.
he just arrived at
Mega Satan
I'm surely not going to 100% this. have fun finishing the Dark Room without taking damage.

Yep, keeps crashing. I hope that's not common.
Of course I did, I never continue a game unless I took note of the seed. The seed is: YXJD KJBG
And again

Holy crap you can hold down the analog stick when viewing Secrets for a long ass time. I thought the game was messing with me until it went to another new file I hadn't viewed yet. There has to be hundreds

Well, the game finally froze on floor 60 or so in the BASEMENT seed.
I would never say that the game isn't without it's flaws nor would I try to convince someone to like it if they didn't. The thing that's frustrating is that every ps+ thread there are ppl (who haven't played the game) that pile on it into the ground but in the same sentence wait with baited breath for when knack will show up for free so they can play it (in an attempt to validate their negative suspicions I suppose?)
Tiny Planet isn't so bad.
Every one of those is shielded, piercing, and poisonous. Completely wrecked everything, Satan included.
you get it in a challenge but it sucks there since your damage is super low.
In an actual good run it could destroy pretty much everything, I agree.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Shit. Got to Mom for the first time and died because I wasted all my hearts (seriously, I had like 8 or 9, plus some soul hearts) in a boss rush room I accidentally wandered into.
Dammit. =\
Dammit. =\
OK so I'm just gonna give you a warning if it doesn't turn out like my run because it turns out my second playthrough on the same seed didn't go as the first run.Awesome, will give this seed a shot later
This is the first time:
This was halfway trough:
This is how it ended:
And this one is my second playthrough were I was even able to finish the run because Isaac was pretty much OP:
Halfway trough:
The last room:
OK, spoilers from END game, please don't highlight if you aren't sure, or care. But I had a question.
I just beat mega-Satan (HOLY SHIT, BTW) as Judas, but there didn't seem to be an unlockable, or icon on the character select screen...did it bug, or is there no symbol for this?
