The one achievement I never got in the original Isaac, I just got on my first run through the womb by accident. I'm so impressed with myself and also the RNG.

Don't press "Esc" during the ending cutscene. It will not save your progress.

So far I've had a bug where my hearts just stopped appearing on the HUD. So that was weird.

It's definitely a fun game, and I've enjoyed it so far (though I'm not going crazy like I did with the first game since a lot of the content is still content I've done before,) but jeez bugs shouldn't be coming up right away like this.

Do any of you guys remember Wrath of Lamb coming out? This isn't nearly as bad as that was (due to the glitches people weren't even sure who the final boss was in WoL,) but still.

What situation did you get into where you feel that would have helped? I'm genuinely curious.

I've had like, 2 bugs so far. WotL was WAY worse than this. Overall, I've felt like the game has been pretty stable.

I've played almost 7 hours today and so far I think it's great. I've gotten all the characters unlocked and got all the no damage achievements so I think I'll take a break.

Interesting to note about the no damage achievements: they made them easier. In the last game you had to do both floors of a level without taking damage, while in this game you only have to complete the second floor without getting hit. I got 3/4 of them unintentionally because of this.

Unrelated: I'd be super happy if I could sync my save between my PC and my Vita. I don't know how they'd even do that without hosting their own servers for saves though, so whatever. Kinda sad though cause half the fun of Isaac is how much more variety the game gets as you unlock stuff, so going through the whole game again from the start just cause you're on a different platform kinda sucks.

I've only done two runs so far, and the second one was, so far as I know, bug-free. Getting two glitches within a half an hour of starting the game is still alarming, though.

So the bug I had mentioned earlier wasn't actually a bug. I was all angry because sometimes for a whole floor, I couldn't see my hearts. Then I realized it was curse of the unknown. Whoops!

Although I actually did encounter a game-breaking bug. Boss fight spoilers:
[spoiler]In The Haunt bossfight, one of the little ghosts you have to kill before you kill him just up and disappeared, so he never revealed his skull and I had to just end the run there cause I was trapped in a room with him unable to do anything.[/spoiler]

Saveslot number two does not seem to save any progress done.

Also, I was watching UltraJMan stream this game yesterday and a crazy thing happened to him near the end of this playthrough.

Got up to the Cathedral boss, accidentally ate a pill that brought me to one heart.

Ugh.

There is a kind of boss rush room next to the hole leading to the womb.

I tried that one in a normal playthrough and got killed pretty quickly. (you know, it is EVERY boss except the "final" bosses. Even the horsemen.)

Tried it again during the "Computer Savvy" challenge and won. The only reward you get is one item which you may pick before starting the boss rush.

I don't think it is worth risking your life for just one item.

Yeah, I did the boss rush room the one time I went to Sheol, and it actually saved my run. I was doing really good damage, so I didn't have much issue with the bosses themselves and they dropped a ton of soul hearts so it stocked me up and I barely killed Satan.

Still looks too morbid for me, just like regular Isaac.

Boo hoo hoo. [/sarcasm]

On a serious side: I know at least 30 people who don't like the game because it's so morbid.

But it is a matter of taste.

"B00BT00B" seed gives you a retro video type filter thing. Managed to beat Mom's Heart while it was active, the big end chest appeared, walked up to it and... back to the main menu, no ending unlocked. Is this supposed to happen?
Also, is the Daddy Long Legs- item supposed to appear so early? I've got it on the first floors twice now.

Yeah, so when you use seeds, you can't get achievements. If they allowed this you could just get carried runs all the time and go through all the achievements with no issue.
The thing is, when you use a filter seed like B00BT00B it's technically not a generation seed cause the maps are still randomized, so it's kind of dumb they don't allow achievements with filters on, but that's the way they did it.
So yeah, nothing glitched. It was just a stupid decision on their part.

I think you can get it earlier in this game than in the other. I've gotten it once and don't remember unlocking it.

I had almost maxed out luck, along with a craptonne of money (from the luck), and I got the virgo item which gives you a like, 10 second shield after you get hit, but you can still use the blood bank while in the shield, so I got like 10 uses of the blood bank for every half heart I took. There were actually a ton more pennies I had already grabbed before I took the screenshot.
Maximizing on arcades is a really useful skill in the game and something it took me a long time to figure out. Watch some videos by LethalFrag or something, that's basically where I learned how to make good use of arcades.

I'm not sure, I'm only at ~250 or something but I'm guessing 999 considering there's 3 number slots on the machine?

I guess slight character/item spoilers ahead, but if you played the last game you'll be fine:
They nerfed Dr Fetus way too much in this game. Here's me trying to fight Peep.

It's awful. I basically killed myself this run because there was no way I was making any progress. It's a stupid decision to nerf it this much, because Dr Fetus already had the drawback of being super clunky and always putting the player at risk of blowing themselves up, so you had to be careful. Now it's clunky, you're at risk of blowing yourself up, and it does barely any damage. So yeah, you're pretty much better off with lemon mishap than Dr Fetus at this point.
