Gaming The Binding of Isaac: Repentance

[wormtail39]

Hear me, hear me  

NS had a GREAT daily run today.
I was trying to use the spoilers tags, but I messed up something, so I'll write ''no-spoiler'' things.

Play it, at least on the Switch.
And please please do not encounter on a bug.
Probably the first one I have ever seen in Isaac, in my 5k+ hours long playtime session (PC, Vita, PS, Switch).

Have fun, we finally had a great daily run


EDIT: BTW What a combo 
I have never ever ever seen that one, too.
You really need to see this one - no, not a clickbait.
I was amazed!

what are daily challenges iv never done one? what do u get from them do they unlock stuff? also do u know which challenges (the normal challenges) unlock the best stuff? so far i have only unlocked deaths touch the creddit card and yera rune loool i only wana do the challenges that give good stuff.

@ wormtail39
Let me divide the answers:

1) Daily challanges:

- you are given a certain task = beat an enemy, reach the certain floor
- you are given a certain character = sometimes you will get the best one, sometimes not 
- they/developers have ''specialized'' dailies = i.e. Christmas daily, New Year's daily, July 4, etc.

BTW There are a few achievements connected to dailies  

You collect points, every collected item gives you ''negative points''.
You loose points for damage taken.
You gain points for picking up coins, keys, bombs
You gain points for full room/floor clearance (FULL + those rooms)

Sometimes you got to be smart, but I'm not going to reveal this secret yet  
If you will have any quiestions regarding ''the secret'', feel free to ask  


2) Wanna play and cheese the game?
I strongly advise you doing so, because as of now you have unlocked the best items (challange items).
All you need now is ''The Blank Card'' and you have everything to enjoy the game.
Later, much much much much much ....... much later you can go for the challanges.
That's a friendly advice  
For the Blank Card I suggest you to play with Eden.


BTW I repeat, do not, I repeat DO NOT play the challenges yet
Please trust me.

well im a good 300 hours in on the switch version alone lol at what point should i do the challenges lol and their must be some other good rewards from the challenges? and id like to hear more about the secret if ud ont mind ahha

For the start, play the game for at least 600 more hours and when you'll be at 1k, approx, then go and play the Challenges.

First of all, unlock The Blank Card.
Second of all, unlock Isaac's D6.
Third of all , try to get a Blank Card + Jera combo.
Lastly enjoy the game.

I strongly advise you to get Blank Card+Jera and try to break the game at least 10 times.
After you unlock 300+ achievements, THEN is the right time to play the Challenges.

Why?
It's easier to get Jera, when only Jera is unlocked, lol.

When the time comes, I'll tell you the exact order which challenge you should play first

As for the ''secret'' - sometimes when you play Dailies, ''An End Floor'' is not always the last one

Okay, I was a happy Isaacer in the last couple of days.
Oh my, the dailies were phenomenal.
Unfortunately, one time I lost due to a bug - the first one I personally ever seen in my 7 year Isaac carrier.
The first one on NS too.

Todays run was excellent too, just....
Be brave and don't be brave and be brave and don't be brave
Today's items were a lottery and you really need a lot of luck in order to achieve.
I just can't wait for tomorrow's run, I have a feeling it'll be great  



P.S. One Youtuber (I don't want to promote him this way) said that Repentance will probably be released by the end of the Summer.
So in 1 or 2 months 
Oh and it'll be somehow more ballanced - maybe easier  
Oh too, and probably the greatest combo won't be working no more from the Repentance DLC  
We'll have to wait and find out ourselves,.

Today's daily run was aweeeeesomeeeee  
Definitely worth playing  


P.S. You can easily achieve 30k points, just be extra careful

You need to pass the task you have been given to when starting the daily.
Yesterday's task was to beat Mom's heart, with Judas.

As I have said, you get extra POINTS for collectiong coins, keys, bombs, for NOT collecting items (some you need to collect in order to be stronger), etc.
You get negative points for collecting items, taking damage, etc.

Yesterday (still current) daily had some ''cheeseable moments'' and that's how you could achieve so many points  

Man I like the game and can't wait for the Repentance to finally be released

@ wormtail39

Yeah, we could be waiting for months after the PC release.
Luckily, I have a new PC and will probably buy the PC version too.
(already have all the previous ones).

Why?
I want to play it now xD
Have already tried the Antibirth mod and tbh it was way way harder the the AB+.

Further, Ed (the dev) said, they will somehow balance the game  
Meaning, making it easier  
And I don't want to spoil some things to use.
But from what I have heard, the game won't be as funny as it is now.
Rumours, rumours, lol.
I hope they won't be changing the game that much, argh.
