98% but I'm almost as far as I'll go unless there is a way to mod cheat for keeper/lost greedier and keeper delirium. I did all their achievements pre AB+ and with all the bullshit now in the game I no longer care or have the patience to reset for hours on end till a winning run with them. Might not do Ultra Hard either. I've plinked away to the womb with base damage a few times and I'm growing tired of it. Oh look another samson's chain pageant boy ultra hard run! Yay. The hard part about the challenge is getting good rng.

stuck in fucking ultra hard. is there a way I can cheat my way out of it?
Brayden Johnson
yes, cheat engine
David Robinson
>Keeper Delirium Swallowed penny from a first floor pot isn't that rare, from there you just need IV bag and restock and you've got a break going, neither of which is that rare either. He's not that hard to break and frankly you can win without breaking.
Greedier mode isn't that hard for keeper due to all the health drops. As for the Lost, pray for 9 lives, steam sale, or massive damage. I did Greedier for both without breaks, but admittedly my Keeper run was one of the luckiest I've ever been short of that time I triggered a glitch and one shotted Greed's second form. We're talking triple shot sacred heart god head Greed's first form melted so fast he didn't even start his second attack.
Ultra Hard, hold R for library. The library pool is fairly small and Book of Revelations/Satanic Bible wins you the run. From there it's literally just not picking up Bucket of Lard/not getting total crap damage until Mega Satan.
Sebastian Campbell
I know these things were way too rare before but this is a little much.
Sebastian Ramirez
Hold R for Library. If you see a locked door you have like a 1 in 4 chance of winning if you can get a key drop.
Jonathan Davis
I've seen that room with blood banks. I guess it can spawn any donation type item.
I've still only seen like 2 bomb beggars since + but I didn't even know they existed before and I had 1001%.

>Car Battery Crooked Penny in Greed Mode has a 1/4 chance of giving you 3 free copies of everything in the shop, a 1/2 chance of giving you 1 free copy of everything in the shop, but deleting everything for sale, and a 1/4 chance of just deleting everything in the shop >everything comes back if you use the reroll machine Please don't nerf
Liam Hughes
Basically no bullet-related upgrades whatsoever, you just get new guns which mostly suck and stat buffs. This kills the replayability because the vast majority of the guns aren't mechanically any different to begin with. Every run essentially feels like a tears-only run in Isaac.
It's basically the Starbound of dungeon SHMUPs. Had a very good premise but ultimately didn't have a good grasp of how the gameplay should go.
Alexander Bell
Against my better judgement I tried another Ultra Hard. Probably about to die at the Cathedral. Bullshit items all game 4.08 damage. This challenge is like a greatest hits of the worst of TBoI.
Jonathan Nguyen
Yep, got telefragged by ghosts 4 times so far in the cathedral gg.

This is why I love this game, sometimes the most random junk shit becomes an enormous boon when put together. It's annoying that such a dimwitted cuckold was lucky enough to accidentally shit this game out.
Hudson Gonzalez
Wait a minute, /lite/ is back? How long has it been back?
Andrew Lewis
what a nice start to a new year
Oliver Morales
Beginning of the year when AB+ came out.
Gavin Wright
Probably since Antibirth was released. Then Afterbirth+ kinda happened.
Ayden Gomez
Afterbirth+ resurrected it
Lincoln White
IT'S THE
Wyatt Jenkins
No, this is pretty much /boig/. Anyone thinking otherwise is delusional.
Dylan Gonzalez
I like afterbirth+ a lot more than antibirth
Brandon Price
why? how?
Ethan Perez
afterbirth+ is a lot more balanced than antibirth in my opinion, although i do realize that antibirth has much much more effort put into it than afterbirth+
also antibirth isn't finished
Grayson Phillips
me too, it sucks that they are gonna add antibirth trash into ab+
Brandon Richardson
Friend gifted me NT after telling him I was sick of BoI, and I kinda fell in love with it but after 40 hours and my first loop I want to try some different music. Whats the most suggested soundtrack mod? please no "insert music from other game"
Gavin Morgan
antibirth has a lot of work put into it, but it's made by people who didn't make the game and don't really fully understand it, both mechanically and thematically.
Charles Thomas
Does Lost holding the missing poster get an extra life?
Bentley Murphy
The only correct option is the /ntg/ soundmods. The second one is pretty good, but from what I remember the frozen city theme is weebshit.

This desu, but be careful because it has a tendency to make you play like shit. The OST is a little more chill, gives the game a slower pace, but the edm soundmod cranks it to 11 and your heart feels like it's going to pound out your neck if you're not going sanic speed

Supply drop when?
Christopher Morgan
Is the Lost Isaac's "stand"? feels good to be back boys
Nathan Cooper
Gungeon's a bad roguelite. Not a bad game per se, but it's not well liked by the community. Falls into the same category as Rogue Legacy, as much as I love that game.
Christopher Murphy
Pretty soon now, but you can play the beta
Carter Jenkins
>bad roguelite Not even someone who plays it anymore, but how is neo-Isaac a "good" roguelite?
Benjamin Diaz
Rogue Legacy is a good game I don't see the problem
Juan Miller
Who said it was? It's awful.
Only good ones are FTL and necrodancer desu
Jaxson Jackson
For some reason Nuclear Throne discussion leaves a bad taste in my mouth, maybe because the time I spent with /ntg/ was pretty cringey.
>Rogue Legacy is a good game No.
Parker Turner
Right here, supply drop needs to drop already.
Rogue Legacy and Gungeon are both great. Gungeon in particular is one of the best, seems like you have a terminal case of shit taste.
Jack Scott
At it's core, replayability is the biggest factor, a factor that's mostly provided by randomization and procedural generation of content. Even in real roguelikes, there's only so many enemies you can have, so many layouts a dungeon or cave can have, and it falls to other factors to create a different experience every time you play.
The experience in Isaac is given by the items you find or decide to work for. You could have two runs with identical level layouts and characters that play and feel wildly different by changing two or three important item pickups.
I love Nuclear Throne, more than Isaac, but after only 200 hours I can comfortably say I've had just about every possible experience possible from it. I still play it, sure, but it's using the same methods and strategies I've been using forever.
In Isaac you're constantly forced to adapt to new playstyles and develop new strategies based on the tools given to you, which is why people can play for 500+ hours and still not be bored with it.
I'm not saying it's a great game, but it's perfect at fitting the genre.

You have autism. Gungeon is like an even slower paced Isaac. It's shit.
Liam Nguyen
>good game >great You're missing the point, dummies. I said they weren't bad, I enjoy both of them. Gungeon is a great schmup and Rogue Legacy is a quirky dungeon slasher which I have a shitload of time in. Doesn't make them good roguelites.
Tomatoes are amazing on tacos, sandwiches and burgers, nobody doesn't like them. Doesn't mean you would call them a good fruit.

Marine is objectively the most powerful, but I'd say that Huntress is the most fun to play as. But hey, everyone is a good choice except for Convict, fuck her.
Noah Carter
>Convict That's a strange way of spelling Pilot
Christopher Hill
Convict is literally the Rogue of gungeon, stop defending her at every step because "muh waifu xd".
Blake Turner
How much pussy do you think the convict ate in prison?
Brandon Parker
She's not even my waifu but I think the Pilot has more problem than the convict Plus she have a molotov, she's not that bad Think of a number, now add two zeros, that's the number
Michael Jackson
Interesting. Does she top the Huntress, or is she more submissive? Does she slip naturally into the 'bitch' role as a result of her incarceration?

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but The Lost is Isaac's spirit, in the same way ??? is his body.
If you weren't aware, every vanilla playable character is Isaac, or part of him anyways. Try being more observant.

The thing that pisses me off and confuses me is that it's not like I haven't beaten Mom's Heart multiple times beforehand; it's just all of a sudden my skill level has plummeted drastically.
Evan Taylor
What is the real story of BoI ?
Jonathan Gray
I raised it from the grave January 3rd. Technically, we also have /igg/ in here too, cause Idle shit comes up once in a while.
Andrew Bell
Stop playing on Hard. There's literally no point. Also stop going so damned slow, yeah I know there's a blood donation room on one side of the depths and a slot machine on the other side, but who gives a shit. One item does not a good run make. And even if it did? The time you spend running around trying to powergame coins or batteries winds up adding to a whole second run you could have finished during that time. Also if you find the glowing hourglass you can farm mom's heart 5 times in the same run, so keep your eyes peeled.
Henry Bailey

James Reed
dude, spoilers.
Gabriel Stewart
That's the worst fucking part. I'm not playing on hard. It's just somehow, I had some of the best runs I've ever had, beat Mom's heart six times, and then all of a sudden my skill level plummets.
Xavier Ward
You did a good job user ! I'm proud o I thought Isaac mom became crazy by watching to much televangelist and "God" told her to sacrifice Isaac and he flee in the basement where the game begin ?
Samuel Ward
>I thought Isaac mom became crazy by watching to much televangelist and "God" told her to sacrifice Isaac and he flee in the basement where the game begin ? You would only think this if you haven't played through the entire game.

I actually haven't played it at all I'm just interested in the lore and the imagery
