Worth it on Xbox?
Is the new bundle set of repentance worth it on Xbox worth it? Did not know where else I should ask, but it seems it is the game and all dlc in one full game for 60.

Never played Isaac but I enjoy rogue likes, is it worth?

One of the best roguelike ever made. Waiting the Repentance DLC to be available on Eshop EU store in few days. Have many-many hours in Afterbirth+ on Switch. If you like the roguelike it's a musthave.

The xbox reviews just say theres no safe transfer, nothing about how buggy it is.

Though maybe xbox reviews arent very reliable.

Keep in mind in regards to bugs: most people complaining here are long time players and/or have all chars unlocked. I don't have any tainted chars right now and didn't noticed any bugs while playing the chars that I have available. The game sure is incomplete as per the own devs (birthright effects), but I'm not there to experience it.

TL;DR: maybe, for you, the "bugs"/missing content won't show before they finally release the next big patch.

Edit: saw you don't have Isaac. Just go and buy it, best roguelite ever, full of risk/reward choices at every step of the way, full of OMG moments even at a new save game. I'm sure you won't reach incomplete content before they fix it.

So then I don't have much to worry about, and should just get it on Xbox like I planned on?

Yeah dude, believe me this game is something else. You won't hit any issues before they release the big patch.

Nice to play on console is that you'll be forced to play first without mods - IMHO, some mods are plain awesome (like External Items Descriptions) but they take the "exploration" enjoyment away from a new player - I played it almost 1000hrs on Vita, Switch, PS4, before returning to PC to play with mods.

Before the big patch? So I won't encounter many bugs then, right? Or are you saying the big patch may cause new ones?

no bugs until the very end of the games completion wich will probably be patched before you are there

Don't belive the absolute liars here telling you that the game works well and only endgame is buggy. The game is ported as the actual state of the game, and that carries crashes, self locks, unbalanced things, unfinished, even Bugs that could delate your save for what I have been reading here. Wait for the big update they have been hyping for months before buying the game, don't support this game right now because honestly It doesn't deserve it currently. Jesus, a Boss called Delirium has been bugged since 2017 and they have been doing absolutely nothing. Belive me.

Is it actually confirmed that the game exactly the same rn and even some of the worst bugs weren't fixed while porting? I've seen only tweet by Edmund saying that, but this guy doesn't even know on what consoles rep released, so I'm not really trusting on anything he says about console staff

Btw, "bug" that deletes save files while using Esau Jr, it was a lie, someone somewhere just posted it and it spread like a virus

Edit: yeah, players already confirmed that it has a small patch that we're waiting for
Here's some small visual update for example https://i.redd.it/yl8g74t5ijx71.jpg
Here's some changes that were found so far https://www.reddit.com/r/bindingofisaac/comments/qmrgwu/undocumented_changes_between_console_release_and/ sadly no changelog from the devs

Whats the difference if you buy it now or later? Yeah, there may be some bugs that isn't fixed yet, but most likely you'll not encounter them for now and even if you do, and if it somehow would make it unplayable (which I doubt) you can just wait for the patch to release
As I confirmed above, version for consoles is even better rn than for pc, it's not in an unplayable state for sure, nothing to worry about, have fun

And yes, mostly endgame is bugged, like new characters/items which comes mostly from the later parts of the game, if it's your first time playing isaac, you have a lot of things to do before you encounter them

Don't support people that sell unfinished games and later laugh about it like Nicalis did before, or people that crunch one dude like Edmund. Wait for the update.
