What are your thoughts on repentance? I know its been out for like a year already but I finally just got it a few weeks ago and am somewhat enjoying it so far.
Im jumping into all the new add-ons straight from rebirth so all the new Isaac content and new items are always cool. Some of the new enemies are fucking retarded though.
I like some of the new devil room items like little horn and ocular rift. The new tear effects in general are all pretty fun to use, I like the sticky bomb one especially. The angel room is a lot better now too and the sword item is pretty fun.
I notice there is a lot more troll bullshit now too though. Fucking spike chest and mini spike chests spawning from regular chests that are nearly unavoidable damage? All the new enemies in the alt floors explode into projectiles? Random trap rooms with turrets there are super hard to avoid damage in? The fucking disappearing ghost enemies seem a lot more annoying now too, I dread seeing them when I walk into a room because they spawn right under your ass. No more invincibility frames too, like wtf is that shit? Game is definitely ramped up in difficulty from rebirth to repentance. The enemies feel faster, less predictable fire rates and their shots are faster. Even shit like the troll bombs taking longer to explode throws me off a bit. I havent had a guppy transformation either and thats not the worse thing ever I guess.
So far Ive nearly beaten the lamb and ??? On hard mode for all characters, Bethany included who is the only new character ive unlocked so far. Beat the delirium once and hush once so far. Delirium is fucking ridiculous lol, same with ultra greed in greed mode. Dont know what im supposed to do about the 100 enemies be spawns that all rush towards you, especially as azazel
it was pretty dogshit honestly, didnt even finish it. this is coming from someone with 1800 hours before it dropped. they nerfed a shit load of items and the retarded fanbase ate it up saying "wow this is so balanced now" like i want to play a dogshit 5 damage run for an hour because that fat fuck edmund was embarassed his game was dark souls enough

played the shit out of the original flash version and a couple hundred hours into rebirth, kinda got bored of it after that
Sebastian Edwards
Yeah youre kind of right. Has brimstone always had zero upgrading to your base damage or was this something they added with repentance? Cant recall but key items like that seem way worse than before.
Ive had some runs where I get good damage items but many more where im nearly starting base damage at the womb and I just say fuck it and restart the run. Devil rooms are certainly nerfed which is pretty stupid. Edmund is a total fag and as someone who also had over 1000 hours in vanilla and rebirth, repentance has definitely been getting on my nerves at times. If it wasnt for the potential to have new synergies, use new items and beat new bosses, I probably wouldnt play this shit. Shit like jacobs ladder and the sword are JUST fun enough to make me stay
Parker Gonzalez
I understand that, I stopped playing for 2 years and needed that long of a break to finally feel like trying repentance out. Already getting somewhat bored of it pretty quick
Aaron Morris
all of the s tier items got some kind of nerf, brimstones tick rate got nerfed, same with tech x. basically every item that was a stand alone carry item got nerfed. and devil deals getting gutted was huge in killing the games fun. like who the fuck wants to wait until the 3rd floor to MAYBE hit an angel deal to see shit like little delirium and holy water? i used to do lost only streaks and they straight up killed that shit.

That's a lot of words I'm not gonna read them but IO'm gonna pbump this thread for your sake ily

Thanks buddy guy

Put 100 hours into Flash and liked it. Put 1000+ hours into Rebirth, mostly in couch co-op, and it's one of my favourite games of all time. Beat Delirium as Lost and Keeper, full post-it notes, all that shit. AB and AB+ get a lot of shit from the community but if you factor in all the patches they included I think they're a net positive. I was hyped as fuck for Repentance but when they released that list of all the changes I lost interest. Everything in the game is nerfed or changed for the sake of "shaking up the meta" as if that matters in a non-competitive game. The amount of weird rules and exceptional cases I had learned and now had to un-learn was too overwhelming so I just stopped playing. I will get back into it someday when I've forgotten enough of Rebirth.

Been playing repentance a lot recently, I agreed that a lot of the devil room items got nerfed to fuck, angel room seems the much better choice now.
Jackson Robinson
Repentance was unironically what the community needed. Almost every terrible item got buffed to the point where they're at least semi viable now, it removed a ton of the bloat in the game. A lot of the nerds weren't completely warranted, sure, but the changes and buffs make up for them.

I completed the flash binding of isaac with no items but never played past afterbirth and got bored of it instantly
Thomas Allen
Repentance is the definitive way to play and the game and has never been easier. Literally use the tools you've been given. Every time Edmund nerfs an instant-win item he adds 20 more to the pool and buffs 10 more. You're literally just a retard who can't dead God and can't manipulate the secret room item pool. There are plenty of rng manipulation tools to get a broken run 80% of the time. If you can't see that then you're genuinely bad at the game. Alternatively, play Isaac. if you can't handle the game not sucking your entitled dick 24/7 then simply play the baby mode characters lol.

I never said I was struggling and cant win you elitist fucking faggot, holy shit what an insufferable loser lmao. Imagine being this prideful about video games, youre a man child.
I just beat delirium again tonight and had a 3 game winning streak on hard mode, making good progress on my posted notes. Quit making imaginary enemies so you can jerk yourself off over games you sad life form
Evan Miller
I personally enjoy Repentance. I play it almost daily and I'm glad they added new paths and floors because I had gotten sick of doing the same 3 runs over and over. Although, I hate how much they nerfed most items.
Hunter James
Some alternative characters made me lose my shit. Still got Dead God coz I'm a fag
Logan Cruz
I'm close to getting dead god 700 hours in. Just need to partake in enough daily runs and I'll be done with this fucking game.
My first exposure to Isaac, besides the flash game on Newgrounds, was on the Vita. I've probably poured over 300 hours on it.
At first I hated the donation machine/shop nerf, but I grew around it and accepted the change, like with many nerfs. But man fuck D1 not being able to copy the exact consumable and instead creates one of the similar type. Apart from that, I love the game. I wish the beast fight was much harder.

I put a lot of hours into Rebirth and then bought Repentance like last year. Yeah, definitely a bit harder than before but still perfectly doable. Personally I don't really like any of the new characters, they just feel too gimmicky for my taste. Some of the tainted characters are cool though. My main complaint is the items. I understand that some had to be adjusted and that's ok but with all the additions they really fucked up the balance of the item pools. There's so many useless items now. So many that basically do the same thing as a previous item. Items in Rebirth felt much more unique and interesting compared to Repentance. Guess that's what happens when you feel the need to add dozens every dlc. I got real plat god in Rebirth twice but I ended up dropping Repentance. Once I'd seen all the new content I just didn't have any motivation to keep playing. Might be worth looking into modding the game just to adjust the item list desu, shouldn't be too hard, right? Some of the new stuff is genuinely good but it just doesn't feel as focused as the original game did. More like somebody just downloaded a bunch of mods with no regard to the final experience.

>Repentance was unironically what the community needed. Almost every terrible item got buffed to the point where they're at least semi viable now Yeah I don't doubt that. It was just too many changes all at once for a game I had spent years learning inside out.
Lucas Williams
Put like 400something hours on it, have played rebirth afterbirth and repentance. I did all marks for the non tainted characters. I really liked repentance and consider it the definitive Isaac version though I do feel some of the tainted characters are too hard
Landon Long
This is all it takes to beat Delirium with tainted Lost. Why haven't you beaten him yet, Any Forums?
