The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

repentance is kinda bad...
lets get this out of my head, i love the game to begin with but the new hard mode is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bs. whos idea was it to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ give all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemies faster shots which you can barely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dodge! i cant even kill ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mother because of all the nerfs on most of the old items, curses on every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ floor, gotta go each run to collect 2 knife pieces and die to either mother or any other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemy before that, i gotta kill mother just to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unlock the rest of the game, no mod compatibility either so i cant see what stats most items give using that one mod. all enemies feel way more tankier now as well and i literally cant do ♥♥♥♥, im sitting at a negative 30 win streak at the moment because of all this.

Too many runs end up in disasters unless you min-max everything and know exactly what you are picking given your current build.

And oh boy does it feel great to just have wasted one hour by just getting spanked by mother or the other 5 bosses.

And for the git gud crowd: please understand that many of the people taking issue with the DLC are already spending an insane amount of time on just that one video game... This is a borderline abusive relationship. :D

I highly advise you just play on Normal Mode.

You know how many unlocks are tied to Hard Mode, in literally all Isaac content, that aren't co-op babies? 5. And only two of those are new to Repentance.

If you're struggling to dodge shots on Hard Mode because you're getting used to it, just switch to Normal, you'll get all the same unlocks and if you're serious about 100%, you can always revisit the fights later. You're at -30 wins, just swallow your pride and start from the bottom.


I also heavily advise NOT taking characters traditionally seen as "the strongest" like Azazel or Judas. Take lower-risk, but still powerful characters, like Isaac.

i usually play on hard because i feel like a coward playing on normal, i also play with isaac most of the time yeah.

"just because you are bad" felt like a little bit unecessary dont you think? im not the only blaming it as well, there are literally ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hundreds of people agreeing with my point

As long as you are playing on hard your complaint that the game is, well, hard, is a bit weird, isn't it? Play it on normal and if you still struggle, then your complaint might be valid.

I hadn't played for a while before Repentance and therefore started in normal to get back in and it's as easy as it has always been.

And there's probably the same amount of peoples if not more who disagree with you. You have an option which is to play on normal, complaining a game is difficult when playing on hard is weird.

Mods are coming back with the next update.

And yes, hard mode is hard. I'd reckon that's why it's called that.

im complaining about the new "hard mode" as its not the same as the old one that we had before, old hard mode was way more fun and was actually somewhat fair unlike the one we have now. the new hard mode literally ♥♥♥♥♥ with the shops,shotspeed,enemy speed and so on and the older one didnt. so i dont see how its weird to complain about it

Ahh, so you're complaining that hard mode is actually an actual hard mode, and not normal mode with 3 more champions enemies per floor?

nothing really matters if the game is not fun
