Unlocked Azazel yesterday. First run? Cake
kill. Second run? Second cake
kill and first
kill in Rebirth. Maybe I just got two very fair runs, but he feels pretty OP.

Azazel is silly, yes.
Hard Heart kills required, all else optional, secret character aside.

Power up in the levels so explore a lot, pills have permanent negativ/positive effects so be careful (color don't tell shit, you need a item to tell them apart), later pat of the game becomes a bullet hell esque game so try to be fast or a tank. Donate to the shop if you can.
Even if you gave Azazel 1 starting soul heart he'd still be one of the better characters. He's got so much firepower with piercing, flight so maneuvering around terrain isn't a problem and it allows you to get unreachable pickups and he can still gain heart containers normally unlike Blue.

Is The Lost's asinine Hard Mode stuff required for platinum or just steam achievements? I figure I will probably be downloading a 100% unlocked save file when I get on PC but on PS4 I have to (and want to) do everything I can myself
Also, what exactly does hard mode change? Can't find any particularly complete list. Sounds like lots of curses, no boss hearts, shit pickup luck. IE the least fun way possible to do a hard mode.

Finished trying it out. Not feeling it. Glad it was free...
yup, though given you need to play every character to get all of the unlocks I see no issue with a strong character...
also note to self... do not do boss rush rooms on the vita.... run was going fine, thus I decided to do the boss rush room... I got heavy frame rate drops and then I was dead ><:
Usually takes a few games to click.
Yes since one of the trophies requires you to 100% the game and you can't do that w/o

I bought the original on PC, and didn't like it either. Tried it about 10 times, and it never grabbed me. I gave it another chance on PS4 (PS+) and didn't like it yet again. A few days later I tried it again and it finally clicked. Now, I love the excitement of slowly uncovering your build and lucking out with loot. I've been playing every day a few runs since. It's really fun.
Twelfth time's the charm!
Agreed - just did it myself. Complete opposite of my normal, incredibly methodical play style. But a very different kind of fun. I did make it with several minutes to spare though, was probably more panicked than I need to be.
If I had the option with every Isaac starting run to get flying and the mini-brimstone in exchange for all my health and roll around with 0 HP until I found something, I'd still do it every single time. Azazel is insanely strong.
Damn, I had an amazing Eve run, but dawdled for a bit and didn't get the boss rush 
Looks like the strategy for Eve is get your red hp to one on the first floor with the curse room, get a devil deal on the 2nd floor and get rid of your empty heart - hopefully picking some damage ups on the way.
Interestingly, I had only 1 red heart but I could pick up The Pact, which had a 2 red heart cost. Of course I lost the one I had, but it was still a good deal!

Despite the game's apparent simplicity, there is a metric fuckload going on under the hood.
Sure, but Isaac with D6 is probably the best.
But Brimstone is still god-tier.
Yeah. I got that. How do I go about working that out? Just....play?!
Pretty much, most of the people who talk about this stuff have 100+ hours. Don't let that intimidate you, just go at your own pace and you'll pick things up naturally.

You know what's good synergy?

Yeah, pretty much. Or just google for a wiki if you wanna you know the more esoteric stuff.

Does anyone have any idea why cross save doesn't work between PS4 and Vita? I updated my PS4 version of the game (searched for update on Vita, but there doesn't seem to be one), and it worked couple of days ago. But last time I synced, it just deleted my progress on Vita. Trying to sync it again doesn't work, even after uploading saves from PS4 couple of times.

I think hard mode is fun. I don't die much on normal, though sometimes I restart if I get bogus pickups on level 1.
Other than a harder first level if I get a room with a ton of spiders, I don't find it that much more difficult.
If you kill the Heart on hard, but die on a later boss, does it count?
I just boss rushed and didn't have any slowdown on vita. However, my only weaponry was lil' brimstone and the single controllable tear, so my own character wasn't creating lots of action on screen.
The combination of controllable tear and lil' brimstone hurt my head though -- it was very much 'one or the other' due to the controls, much like the robot 2.0.
It does.
You cant miss an ending from what I know. You can always get them.
Play, play and play. You will figure out what items do by deduction and die. A lot. Some trinkets are god awful, some are really really good. Same for items. If you want to "cheat" you can look at the wiki.
Some secret in the games required a ton of people to figure out and datamining.
??? is awful. Eve is pretty tough to get a good run on with a middlingly useful Dead Bird and terrible damage. Even Magdalene is painful to use with her speed.
Cain's Lucky Foot base stats are just 1 red heart down from Isaac and the Lucky Foot is still useful. Here's the description of lucky foot from a Rebirth wiki:
That's not awful. I'd rather play as Cain than ???. Even and ??? are the baseline for awful, imo.

cain doesnt feel lucky. i went into a room with about 10 shits, not even a coin, next pill, health down. fuck you cain
I mean he's awful in comparison to BoI, where, iirc, Lucky Foot made pills have only positive effects. surely there are worse characters.
anyway I thought that now the item just made you win more at the slot machines (which to be honest isn't really much helpful)? Didn't know about the other effects.
Dunno, that's what the wiki says.
You unlock the Left Hand, but that is also more commonly unlocked by beating Ultra Pride.
Thanks.
All good pills was definitely the biggest reason he was good in the original. Frequent drops are nice, but having more or less guaranteed stat upgrades was much better.
I was gonna grab no damage cathedral and chest with my pay to play with max damage ipecac but...i came across ludovico and was over joyed at the thought of a controllable ipecac that be exploding...
What you get though is a controllable green tear that's weak as hell and made my pay to play worthless. No explosions either. Wasted 150 coins I took from savings.

I finaly picked up epic featus, its nice to know its still very good , and not nerfed like featus in a jar. At first i was 3-6 shooting boses, but after picking up ludovico and ipecac, just to see how it interacts, something has buged, and now it one shots everything instantly :O It even makes poly- knife look weak in comparision, absolutlly absurd.
edit: Blue baby was the only boss that survived a shot, and needed 2 epic featus rockets to kill. Everything else died to a single rocket. Mom's heart and Isacc, one shot one kill seed:MR22 OL9E

seed:MR22 OL9EYa it's pretty much broken lol. One of the items you need to really do the lost achieves.
Anyone had the eternal loading problem on PS4/Vita? Happened to me now, it seems to be something with the savedata. Any tips how to fix this?
Do you get it a lot? I haven't had any post-patch but I don't think there's anything you can do to avoid it until they patch it. If it happens you can force close the game and then choose continue instead of a new game and it will place you outside the room you were in so it's not as bad as a crash at least.

If it's when you start the game, on Vita i just press the PS button and go back inside the game, the loading picture will start moving like it's supposed to instead of being frozen.
Never had anything of the sort when inside the game though.

Got a shitty bug fighting
. His head wouldn't take any damage.

I'm getting it all the time, both on PS4 with an old save and on the vita with my most recent savedata. No more BoI for me until they patch, it seems. :'(
Yeah, that used to work before, not now. The loading screen won't change.
Happens if you kill him too fast.
