Finally played it after getting it a while back.

Seems p. much the same. I was completely correct about the low res bitmap "pixelized" art ruining a lot (look at the tiny details in expressions on Isaac's vector art faces in the original game and compare it to this one, for example) and it's an obvious shitty retrofit that didn't bother to do stuff like not scale bitmap sprites, so you often see shit like tears getting very blurry looking when overscaled and nothing matches the pixel sizes of new Nicalis pixel art things like the rocks. As I understand it the portable console systems they made the change for have terribly broken ports anyway so it was for nothing.

The graphics stuff they did add like lighting and better framerate is welcome at least.

It seems like I get the full Guppy set like every fucking game for some reason. Maybe because I haven't unlocked enough shit to dilute the item pool? The challenge rooms with three red chests?

Difficulty ramps up retroactively after you start unlocking Sheol and The Cathedral, plus you'll always have hard mode.

But yes, AFAIK it's not difficult to game devil deals and challenge rooms to end up with full guppy.

Hand already in pants with this. I only got as far as golden god, but I wouldn't mind putting time on more content.

20 million new co-op babies

hahahaha

yesssssssssssss

 

[Ivan]

is this gud? i played the original. depth was knee high so i left the pool

 

[Durandal]

Goddamnit, I always keep Halloween open for my annual VtMB replay.
Seems like I'll be breaking that tradition...

 

[Damned Registrations]

Well this is certainly a less rage-inducing excuse for why development on his new game is trending towards vapourware than the stupid meatboy port onto mobile.

I'm curious what the new final^8 boss is going to be like. Current final boss fight is pretty fucking brutal.

I'm looking forward to playing Afterbirth.

I did not play Rebirth much since I had shamefully played the flash version extensively.

 

[grimace]

Controller support works well.

 

[Jasede]

I like it, it's good fun.

Yeah, I unlocked !Platinum God! -after- True Platinum God. (They unlocked at the same time.)

 

[Jasede]

My God stop merging threads you fuckstains. How retarded are you? A new DLC is coming out, it's reasonable to bump the News post. My fucking God, why are you mods if you don't even know the games you're supposed to know about?

 

[Divicus]

New enemies and bosses. Most of them seem to be re-hashes from the existing ones in rebirth. The new items and synergies are lots of fun though.

 

[Space Satan]

The very essence of Afterbirth

 

[Jaedar]

This is pretty cool though.

 

[Murk]

game is getting more ridiculous and fun

hush is p dope

 

[Mozg]

Pretty cool to wing a chaos card into Hush and watch his trillion hitpoints vanish instantly.

I like Edmund's meta self-deprecation of greed mode. Also greed mode is pretty fun and makes me not really feel like playing the normal game.

Explain this "Greed Mode".

 

[Mozg]

It's a new game mode in Afterbirth. Easier to see a video of it [Northernlion warning]:

I actually hate hush. Fucking HP bloated bullet hell boss that summons a billion enemies to help him.

 

[Damned Registrations]

This is pretty cool though.

Mode seems too easily broken imo. Sample:

(Those are all shielded piercing bullets, and that was from dropping a single bomb.)

Not sure why the game throws up the pause menu whenever I hit print screen, annoying. Only does it in the screenshot too, doesn't actually pause.

Can you get into the blue womb loot rooms and then skip hush somehow? Obviously it's gonna get old faster and harder than rebirth boss rush did.

Shovel I guess?

Prt Scrn is different from pause/break. Not sure why you experience that annoyance. Steam overlay screenshot button mis-assigned?
