I think a new OT will keep new discussion easier to track.

also FUCK YES IT'S HERE

 

[Firehead]

ISAAAAAC!

Edit:
Excellent OP, Salsa.

 

[Tomat]

Just got BoI the other day. Didn't know what the big deal was at first, but now I've already got over 3 hours played. Managed to finish it once so far.

I'm hooked. Will pick this up for sure.

 

[Mrbob]

I didn't even realize an expansive was due out. Hotness, will have to pick up.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I'm not complaining but I could have sworn this was free. But whatevs I've got tons of time in it already and 3 bucks is nothing to get some more out of it.

I think it was the idea at first but it got too big. To be honest I remember him openly asking on Twitter and whatnot if people would support it and buy it, or get mad etc.

Nice expansion (damn, now that's a word I haven't used for some time). But next month.

It really is. I tried playing BoI for the first time a month or so ago on my 2010 Macbook (in Windows) and I had a horrendous framerate that made the game unplayable for me.

Yeah I thought so too. Also not complaining though, since it is a huge amount of content, absolutely no problem asking money for it.

 

[Vomiaouaf]

Oh nooooo... I had this pinned in my calendar and are only realizing now it's PC only :-(

 

[Tucah]

No Mac version of the DLC? NOOOOO

 

[Fuzzy]

Am I a bad person by wanting to wait a month for the Summer Sale to start so I can save some money?

You checkin on that or going by the OT? cause I believe it is out for Mac, and if it's not; it's certainly coming.

Just checked on Steam.

 

[Leezard]

The DLC has been great so far. Loads of new items. I wonder if the percentages are skewed so that you are more likely to get new items or that there simply are so many new items that you get loads of them anyway.

 

[Weenerz]

What button is it for the top left power up thing?

 

[bounchfx]

I keep hearing great things about the game but holy shit I cannot get over that art. Urgh. Is there a free demo ?

 

[Leezard]

What button is it for the top left power up thing?

They are passive.

My 2.8 GHz processor runs it just fine. But yes, flash is terrible.

 

[El Sloth]

Hell yeah.

I've asked this before, but I really am curious if anyone else does this: Does anyone else here play the thing with an arcade stick?

Not if your diet currently consists of cup noodles and bananas like my does.

 

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

You can now fight 2 bosses in a row. The second boss is usually one of the horsmen.

 

[Leezard]

Guppy's Paw is such a broken item. You use it to reduce your max health by 1, but gain 3 soul hearts instead. It has no cooldown.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I'm repeating myself but if you have some basic knowledge of the bible I can't see how one couldn't love the name of the expansion :lol

 

[Fuzzy]

No. I guess I really am a bad person.

 

[Haunted]

So much new stuff, I'm overwhelmed. It'll be really fun to figure out what each new thing does.


The things I already did to poor Isaac on my first run... ;_;

 

[Leezard]

So much new stuff, I'm overwhelmed.

Indeed.
Among the trinkets I have no idea what they do: Undefined, Red Patch, Liberty Cap, Safety Cap, Goat Hoof.

 

[Haunted]

Also, where do I check the new achievements? Steam still shows the regular 52/52.

 

[Fuzzy]

I'm repeating myself but if you have some basic knowledge of the bible I can't see how one couldn't love the name of the expansion :lol

I would think those same people would have had a problem with the original game's title also since Binding of Isaac is referencing Abraham almost sacrificing his son Isaac. Either way, those people can fuck right off. :lol

 

[Weenerz]

What do we do with the blood rooms?

 

[Glass Rebel]

I would think those same people would have had a problem with the original game's title also since Binding of Isaac is referencing Abraham almost sacrificing his son Isaac. Either way, those people can fuck right off. :lol

Honestly, I made that connection much later since I didn't know what the story was called in English. Many laughs were had when it clicked and when the expansion was announced.

 

[Haunted]

What do we do with the blood rooms?

Spoiler

Draw some blood i.e. lose hearts three times (or maybe it's a random amount?) to spawn a chest.

 

[kami_sama]

What does mean the title for the new expansion?

Also there's this new room

Spoiler

that has spikes in the middle

and I don't know what it does.

 

[The Return of]

So is there controller support yet?

 

[kami_sama]

So is there controller support yet?

There won't be ever native controller support.

 

[Stitch]

Did the performance get worse with the DLC? Feels kinda slow sometimes.

 

[Captain_Spanky]

So excited. The alternative opening floor is hard. Or maybe I'm just unfamiliar. I do also suck at Isaac. Anyway there goes my evening. I'm getting in beer and I'm going to die, rock out and play until my eyes bleed.

There was a free expansion at Halloween, I think?. Anyway I've never even got close to the end and I have no problem buying the expansion. It was two quid man, and considering how much I love it I consider it money well spent.

 

[Haunted]

Did the performance get worse with the DLC? Feels kinda slow sometimes.

Yeah, I feel there's a bit more going on in some rooms and Flash can't handle it. >_>

 

[Rickenslacker]

I was recently wondering when this thing was coming out, and here it is.

 

[Weenerz]

Love that new speedball power up, his eyes get huge and he runs fast as hell.

 

[Haunted]

Aw shit, blood banks not spawning blood bags exclusively anymore just fucked me over. :lol

That's what I get for assuming!

 

[KarmaCow]

Well there goes 90% of my strategy in the game. Arcade rooms were usually free money + extra health.

It did spawn another cool item, but not something that gave health.


McMillen has definitely cranked up the "body horror" element in this. By a lot.

 

[Acerac]

D6 Isaac is still hella OP. Beat it first try with him, including the awesome new boss.

Can't wait to start trying the harder stuff.

You can now fight 2 bosses in a row. The second boss is usually one of the horsmen.

Hmm... I didn't have any luck with seeing any horsemen in my double boss rooms.

 

[cartman414]

So what else DO the blood banks dispense when they self-destruct?

Still may useful for when there are excess hearts laying about.

 

[Lord British]

I have now beaten the secret area at the very end, and the secret boss...

Spoiler

---Isaac.---

This is really rough around the edges though. Needs a patch, stat. When you die as the secret character it still reads "Love, Eve", amongst many other glitches.

 

[Lord British]

So what else DO the blood banks dispense when they self-destruct?

Dead Dove.

 

[Acerac]

Huh. When I beat the game I got the normal 11th ending. Checked the data and there is a 12th one that didn't display properly. I watched it and holy shit... that's awesome.

Spoiler

Isaac was the evil one all along.

 

[Haunted]

Holy shit at the new devil rooms variant. Totally wasn't expecting that.

I got an item that

Spoiler

launched kamikaze fly attacks at enemies.

Agreed.

So was Mom not possessed by the devil all along?

To the wikia!
