this game is so bad without mods (salted rant)

[< blank >]

i'm stuck having to re-gain all my progress for the third or fourth time, since this game doesnt have cloud compatibility apparently, and i'm really realising how boring and unfun this game is. it's just a grind through getting literal ♥♥♥♥ for items, trying to kill mom's heart with 3.5 damage and 9 firerate due to a lack of good items, time and time again, with the VERY rare good run that actually gives you a tinted rock AND a bomb so you can get a deal second floor. rooms are repetetive as hell, with my having gotten the exact same room literally on the same floor of one run, with the same enemies. i didnt think to check seed unfortunately.

then you turn around and look at the game with mods? better hud, less visual glitches, beautiful. unfortuneately you cant even play the game with graphical mods or it disables progress entirely.

i'm probably just going to find a save file in which mom's heart has been beaten once so i can actually play with mods. polling of isaac, for example. op on appolyon, but still somewhat challenging fun for everyone else, as well as making it possible to find cool builds

So... you can't easily beat mom's heart once? And you need a tinted rock and bomb for devil deal?
Gonna upset you, but it isn't the game problem then(
(at the same time you already have so many "hard" achievements, so it's really strange that you wrote something like that :thinking: )
Can discuss it, but I guess there's no point for wasting time when there's already 100 threads and comments like this.
And it's single player game, so you can do whatever you want with it for having fun.

Btw cloud works fine for me.

And also yours play hours is too low. After more wasting time you should change your mind) Atleast little bit...

my steam achievments and time arent really representative of the time i've played. i had a laptop which broke that i spent a couple of weeks playing the game in offline mode while on a very long family vaction. there should be about 20-30 more hours than what's shown, and some of the achievemnts werent "rightfully" completed

my main reason for posting this was being mad about having to grind through a bunch of bad luck runs to unlock things. i like things.
some (most probably) of the "hard" achievements were from an old 1mil% save file that i downloaded a while back, as well as a couple of cheat runs just trying to see how much i could break the game.
others, (specifically rerun, forget what else) were me (marked+epicfetus+gnawedleaf+spoonbender will win everything for you).

i don't claim to be good. i just find the game is a lot more fun when it's modded cause of the fact most mod items are arguably stronger than vanilla items, and things like polling, which i'll bring up again, make the game less rng-y (and as such easier, in a sense).

i do have my own save file (file 2) which i always use for "legit" runs, which is to say i don't use mods like polling or console commands on it.

No one blaming you for playng the way you like. Everything alright.
It's just... the game is a lot easier than original. 90% of the runs good or OP (if you doesn't play as Keeper or something like that), but it's for me (welp, not only me), that's why I was talking about hours. Be it 100, 200 or even 300 it's still nothing)

You're not trying to be a champion or play 1000 hours, so nothing to discuss, my comments were pointless then)

Also there's a good "salt" thread on this forum. You can use it for staff like that later)

You could just re-sync your Steam achievemtns with your ingame ones...

I'll admit, if I still have base level dps on getting to drowned caverns or some variant of the depths, I sometimes reset. Depends on my mood at the time. Fighting through major bosses with very low damage can feel like a chore.

Doesn't sound like roguelites are for you OP, Stay far far away from enter the gungeon or nuclear throne or our darker purpose, ect.

If you still want your issac fix watch youtubers like northernlion play instead.

i absolutely love vagante, dead cells, and what i have played of gungeon. BoI is just weird. everything else has patterns that you can follow and use to not die. isaac hinges runs basically on not getting hit by enemies that in a lot of cases have more mobility than you'll ever be able to have, and bullet hell-esque patterns generally without much in the way of dodging. i guess with isaac dying just doesnt feel as rewarding, since i've found there's not much to learn from a lot of deaths (unless you died with brimstone+tammy's head+dark bum+ chad, or some similar game winning setup). whereas in other roguelites i've played and enjoyed it's very rare that you'll ever die purely because of bad rng, and there's a specific thing that if you'd done would've gotten you through X situation. (in most cases: dodge)

Isaac has 500+ items, what did you expect?

Got 1,000,000% around 500 hours, just waste your life on it for a few weeks and then never play again.
