The skipped endings thing is a bug on PS4/Vita. Has been confirmed so on twitter by the dev.

Thanks man, I suppose I'm going to wait for the patch.

Is it something that's going to be fixed? Like have they said after the next patch that missing endings will suddenly be in the stats?

No reason to, it's just a movie, once it's patched you can re-watch 'em. You're still getting credited the item and ending.

I accidentally picked up the Cursed Eye before fighting the Blue Baby. I was so upset and convinced my run was over. After being teleported out of the room three times I managed to take him out with only two hearts left. Adrenaline rush to the extreme man.

That's an annoying ass item but apparently teleport only triggers when you're charging it (not that knowing you're going to be hit is always easy)

That's a really good question. Here's the tweet that I saw linked to earlier. It's unfortunately not specific at all, but at least they're aware.
I also can't imagine that it's something that can't be retroactively fixed, as the game still tracks all the mom kills correctly. I'm not sure if the new PS4 patch fixed the problem (I've been playing only the Vita version until the sync stuff gets fixed).
My bad. It must be because of the bug on ps4 that had me confused because i know i've gone down to sheol and beaten satan twice and when i looked at the stats screen there were endings that were missing/skipped. So i've decided to just keep stopping at mom until i can get the option to chose between sheol and cathedral.

Man, I wish this game would incentivize you to take more angel rooms. It has a lot of great items but it's also balanced out by the fact that the most worthless items in the game are the ones that usually drop from it.

It kinda does. (lategame spoiler)
bombing angels is one of the ways to get the key to Mega Satan
cathedral
Sacred Heart
Miter, Trinity Shield, Grail, The Wafer, and Guardian Angel
On the other side, Devil Room has even more worthless items than it used to. Yes,
Brimstone
Mom's Knife
Krampus
(coal)
Krampus's Head
EDIT: I feel silly spoiler tagging everything, but that seems to be what we're doing.

Oh I know I was tapping the button to shoot normally to avoid teleportation, but if you get hit at just the right time you'll still get teleported.. shielded tears saved the day in the end.
Yep.

Woo, beat
on my first go (never beat it in the origin). I really should start taking screenshots of my powerups, I had an excellent set here.
I had a ridiculous room where (Spoilering for safety)
Mom's heart

Basically every boss fight were marathonned, after beating Mom, was a tad intense.
Shielded tears will break enemy tears if you shoot them. It's actually a nice upgrade. For instance, those bone throwing jerks are no longer as problematic. It's powerful even against bosses, if you have a high tear rate.
As for spoilers, I had to look in the OP for the info. Now I know.

I hope they put the tag that shows what you have beaten with each character in the pause menu, I always forget what I need to do.

Holy moley, that's pretty awesome. I never tried getting hit by those, but if it blocks them that makes it even better.
All of the secret rooms seem more likely to give you total crap now.
Curse rooms very frequently spawn enemies without any chance of reward
challenge rooms
Boss challenge rooms used to all but guarantee an item, now I haven't seen anything but chests in them
Challenge and boss challenge rooms are so disappointing now, tbqh. You can still get an item to pop out of a chest, but it's rare. I'll do boss challenge rooms on the first 2-3 floors, and challenge rooms up to about 4, but after that it's a waste of time and resources.
I base my decision to do challenge/boss challenge rooms entirely on how long I think they are going to take. I generally skip them unless I have really high damage just to get on with the game instead of fighting 3 bosses for a chest that gives me a few pennies.
Definitely disappointing compared to the boss arenas of the original.

There's items later on that you unlock that give you big incentive to do angel rooms. Not to mention doing angel rooms the one of the only ways to fight
Mega Satan
Yes.
That was an amazing run.
Azazael, Brimstone, Homing Shot(caused the laser to curve around the room and hit everything), Poison Shot, Infestation Shot(makes kills turn into spiders), Mom's Wig(spawns spiders), and that thing that makes all your bugs giant
I was just rolling with like a hundred spiders because my laser beam would curve around the room and kill everything instantly. Beat It Lives for the first time in a matter of seconds and kept the train rolling right through Sheol.

Fuck.
I went for Isaac killing run with Magdalene and somehow I managed to skip him and go to the Chest level for the first time. I killed the ??? boss and now I'm afraid if I touch the final chest I will somehow glich the endings/trophies. I could kill myself with bombs but eh. If it get's fucked maybe they will patch it later. Might as well go for it.
I just closed and reopened Isaac and they showed up again.
Ya that combo is amazing.
Also seems the plug+d6+wafer is the way to go in breaking the game.

About to head home to play some more. Have about 5 hours logged in, which is a lot for a non fighting game.
Does anyone else's dog(s) get really confused when Dingle whistles? I have to turn the sound effects all the way down when I fight him.

Is kind of a incentive to continue playing, at least to me.
(Not saying the game is not fun, quite contrary, just that I'm curious of the depraved nonsense that is going in the game)
Another fun bit of synergy:
Sad Bombs, BBF, and Proptosis.
Proptosis makes your tears massive at point blank range, sad bombs give your bomb explosions a tear splash like Tammy's Head, and the BBF is a friendly bomb fly that happens to inherit your bomb properties. Anything the BBF collided with got nuked by 4+ colossal tears, and that was amplified by playing as Samson with Money is Power. The late game Fire Mind that made the whole mess incendiary was a welcome bonus.

Just got Darkboy and Mama's Boy in one run with Judas and killed Isaac without taking damage. Fuck year!
Most of the endings are just short cutscenes to verify unlocks, not a big deal.
Is the bug the Mom endings not being shown if you beat later bosses? Because that just seems like it was by design and not much of a glitch.

The endings are some good fucked up fun, but they're pretty minor (they last like 15 seconds). Only a few are story relevant, most are "isaac got a new item!
So let's watch as he kills himself with it!
Also FWIW I just tried watching a movie immediately after boot on PS4 and they work again.YMMV.
Curse of the Blind screwed me once by making me pick Cursed Eye. Damn you cursed eye!
I generally try to write down how many hearts I have as soon as I see that curse pop up.
I'm surprised they don't remove your entire hud, bombs, keys, and coins as well.
just played as eden and the build was mom's wig and I dont know what else because the item was the crystal ball which I used right away, it transported me to a devil room and I bought brimstone.. my luck was high so I was able to get more heart containers fast plus all the soul hearts I wanted...

Does the seed ISAA RACE do anything? It just got spit out of my fortune teller machine and I'm in the middle of a really good run so I can't check.

Even with my own little army, and the help of Mom, I still couldn't take out this ugly thing this time.
Upon retrospect, I probably should have used my Dead Sea Scrolls.

Gurdy is one of the easiest bosses. You just need to stand at a diagonal angle from him after wiping out his minions.

This run is what dreams are made of. Sacred heart, mark, pact, double shot, relic shield, proptosis. Holy moly. I couldn't cheat engine myself something better.
