>get an item that's practically useless
>die a few floors in after getting nothing
Is there something I'm missing?

Holy shit the guy with 4 achievements from yesterday made another thread. Point at him and laugh
Alright OP, let me explain. It's for the same reason people play online games even if the objective is similar and doesn't change(ie battle royale or mmos or any multiplayer or rouguelite or cardbuilding, etc), because at the basic level they have the same objective but the way it's done is never the same.

There are a lot of tricks to get better items and better runs. The game really pops off once you get a couple good items because the big selling point of the game is the item synergies. The many items can combine in interesting ways sometimes.

It literally gets better when you unlock more shit. It becomes a game about resource management and item manipulation. You get to a point where you can manipulate almost any run into being broken if you know how to use cards/item spawning items/rerolls correctly

yes, you're missing several types of mental issues to be able to delude yourself it is a good game.
Similar case is with souls games

genuinely coping, sorry you got mindbroken by edmund into playing this mobile gacha simulator

Download the steam workshop mod that tells you what items are and how they effect your stats. Makes the game actually playable

and then you unlock T R A S H items and the pool of items goes to shit.
If im honest, this game is at its best when you are mid way through it, on the late game is become lame as hell

late game i mean after unlocking 70% ish of items

I liked it, but I can see why it's boring after a while

>Play Greed Mode
>Get Blank Card
>Get Two of Diamonds card
>Refresh the shop stock until a battery is up for sale
>$$$ INFINITE MONEY $$$
>Purchase every item in the Shop, Secret Room, and Treasure Room pools
>Purchase Chaos, now I can get Angel and Devil Room pool items too
>The shop is getting clogged full of item pedestals from all the goddamn active items I'm pulling out of the two item sales
>Refresh some pickups in another room with the D20 until I get a Black Rune
>Use it to clean up the shop and keep pulling
>I now have a like 12:1 Breakfast to other item ratio because I've exhausted most of the item pools in the game
>I can't fucking see Isaac because he's now tiny and invisible and surrounded by giant orbitals and familiars
>Finally pull the item I needed for the catalog and figure I'll complete the rest of the run
>Ultra Greed dies in literally two seconds from the magic paint rainbow hurricane tears I shoot out with every button press
>I'm afraid the game is gonna crash because my damage is averaging around ~500 with so many tear effects it slows down significantly
>All for one item only
That's why Isaac is fun.

I have everything unlocked and I can manipulate about 80% of runs in my favor. Use the fucking tools you have, be smart, do Devil Deals because Angel Deals are for non-aggressive safe-playing faggots

if you are authistic is not my problem man
Game become a chore after you get too much unlocks

>do Devil Deals because Angel Deals are for non-aggressive safe-playing faggots
yes i love playing aggressive and getting shit like any of the 2389 babies that flood the pool, a mediocre at best active that isn't worth its price or something that literally hinders your run
get real devilcoper

Yes you can always make a run work, but don't pretend the game didn't fuck up the item pool and bloat it with a stupid amount of items that range from useless to hurtful

Game would be improved a lot if they added like a dozen straight boring DPS upgrade items among all the pools rather than zany shit that doesn't give you more damage item #314536152

False ultra greed has the gay damage reduction so that means it takes at least 3 minutes to kill

>Get 3 babies
>Get the Conjoined transformation
>Become the bullet hell

I just bought the game during the summer sale and it's fun but I'm really confused why some of the items you pick up don't even tell you what they do, like the cards and held items.

Well yes if you only got good items the game would easily turn into a cake walk after 10 unlocks

It just doesn't apply to Repentance. That's an Afterbirth+ complaint. Repentance has reverse cards including Judgement? and The Stars? and The Fool?, Magic Skin, the Spindown Dice, an incredible secret room pool, Eternal D6 for The Lost, Tainted Lost

If you're not able to get good items with all these tools, that's on you.

just make the dogshit items give you same usefull stat like DMG or tiers up or you know FUCKING SOMETHING

Nope, he took literally 2 seconds to kill. It was hilarious because I didn't even need to complete the run. Had green brimstone beams spawning from nowhere, going in random directions, fucking spinning in circles, and lingering long after the other tears were gone.

if i wanted to play a ultrahard run everytime i play a run, i would just do the challenge again and again

You aren't missing anything. Just play a better twin stick shooter like Robotron or Smash TV.

Okay user if you say so I'll believe you

People might call it spoon feeding but the mod that makes it so there's a little explainer text on the screen for every item/trinket/consumable you see is a must have for me

I saw that there were mods/guides and such out there already, I was just curious why they make it so vague in-game.
