Just gave in and bought this game, as it was on sale with the expansion. I sure am bad at it.

I got the Platinum God thing too, but I had pretty much everything already so I don't know how that affected it.

It was going to be bugged no matter what. I'm well acquainted with Isaac releases by now. They always start bugged.

Greed Mode is fun! Ultra Greed is a really awesome fight. I think i might have gotten lucky by getting Guppy with Azazel on my first try though.

Well, I don't have Super Meat Boy yet and I don't think I found a Raw Liver either. That's why I knew, there's no way I could get that achievment that easily. :lol:
Seems like it's a bug on importing the save file, I started a new save file and so far no weird marks or Platinum God achievment on that file

A spooky bug happened for me. (and apparently this happened to a lot of other people too.)

So, I did an Isaac run to try and see the new Blue Womb stage I've heard about. I made it with a lot of time to spare, then, as I enter the hole, The game crashes. It happened again after I restarted the game. It's almost as if the game is trying to protect me...

Yeah, same here, it's a shame because I was having a completely ridiculous run at the time:

I've been checking the subreddit a bit and it seems like there are quite a lot of bugs at the moment. People who transferred their saves on the first day may have data on their completion post-its bugged and will need to either re-complete things or reimport data again to fix it, there's also reports of people unlocking many achievements seemingly randomly, rooms that are impossible in certain challenges, devil deals spawning deep in the walls after small room bosses, etc.

Thankfully for the most part, I haven't really experienced any bugs except for this crashing bug, hopefully they fix it soon as I'm not willing to play anything other than daily runs right now since I don't want to have a run where I could go to the new area, but be simply unable to do it because the game broke.

New "final" area stuff in spoilers.

Hush was a really weird fight. I like that there's a few item rooms, a shop and some chests right before the fight, but I don't think they made a dramatic difference. I'd already made it there with an extremely high-damage Azazel layout with very low recharge time and enough defensive items where I was nearly impossible to kill anyway. It was short-range, but again, my layout meant I didn't have to worry too much about taking hits anyway. I couldn't just tank everything, but I could tank enough.

I think Hush is one of those bosses where you either are so overpowered that you can't lose, or it wrecks you right away, like Mega Satan. The bullet patterns were fun to dodge, but it's ultimately just that and not much else. Ultra Greed was more interesting mechanically. Hush is also a ridiculous damage sponge. Apparently it scales with your current damage output? I was one-shotting most other bosses, but Hush took a really long time comparatively.

Also, you keep going after Blue Womb for some reason? I was really hoping for an ending there, but you continue on to Cathedral/Sheol anyway. After Hush, the next few areas feel anticlimactic.

Finally, I don't really understand what Hush is. At all. =P

Hooray for spoilers!

I've heard that Hush is supposed to be Isaac after he's suffocated to death inside the chest. Hence why it's blue, and why it looks like something's been wrapped around it.


Is the Lost still a spoiler? Well, just in case. I'm not looking forward to playing more games as the Lost to unlock a few more items. I have no idea how the hell I'm going to beat Mega Satan or Ultra Greed with him.

Oh hey, playing as The Lost is actually almost halfway reasonable now that he comes with Spectral Tears by default.

RAGE MODE

hush is fucking stupid and has way too much fucking health, why is its first phase resprited blue baby, why are its stuff impossible to dodge, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK THIS SHIT

although to be fair i had the stupid fuckin can't see your hearts curse, but that's beside the point, the bullet patterns are way too overwhelming and stupid. I was playing as Lilith, by the way, and I absolutely wrecked the boss rush.

The fact that there's a new superboss is great, but don't make it have an absolutely unreasonably insane amount of health. Seriously.


Good thing I kept my expectations low. Holy shit.

I was also pretty dissapointed after the fight, but I heard that his health varies directly with how strong your character is. This is supposedly gauged by the fight with It Lives, and I heard the same thing about Monstro before Ultra greed. If your aren't as OP, then the bosses would have less health to balance things.

It really shouldn't scale that much, though. My super powerful line of tears and flies were barely scratching the thing at all. It should have had, like, 1/4 less health

Man there's so many people complaining about afterbirth on the internet.

I think it's pretty neat that breathed a bit more life into an already stellar game.

My only slight complaint Greed Mode seems a tad easier than I was expecting (I was expecting it to be like twice as long and you only get actually good items further in)


Though I guess a lot of people complaining are the ones that had 100% the game before, and were expecting more post-post-postgame or something.

That's just what I've seen though
