why this game is so popular

[Morrigan]

I played it a bit and the control was awful, the aim was awful too (can't fire diagonally lol), the game is full of crap everywhere (for real.) looks like it was a kid who made it and the OST is awful too...
I know what's a roguelike, I found this game not interesting at all.

I know people who'll answer are hyper fanboy and they will say "ulol troll this game is best noob ud onot understand u should get item its roguelike noob repporteeeeeed u trolllllllll"

but I seriously ask why people like this game, I tryed to like it but its impossible I rarelly seen an overated game liks this one (excepted survival/open-world games but they're on the toptier of overated things)

I just guess a lot of us are used to it's control, the hundreds of items, and the randomly generated levels.

I don't know why I like it either, it's just fun.

Because everything you listed as a problem with it is subjective.

I don't have a problem with the controls, or the graphics, or the aim, or the music.

[Tabia]

That's exactly what I thought when my friends suggested the original BOI.

Controls were ♥♥♥♥, inertia on high speed was stupid and the fact that death meant having to restart was horrible.

But, as the time went on and I gave it couple more tries, I started to enjoy it. Game brings realistic challenge. What I mean by that is, achievements are actually doable, you don't have to put in 3000 hours to get every single one (like get 1 Bijillion kills and stuff like that, shooter games have). Also, every type of player can be satisfied with all the different combinations of items and RNG. Some runs are over powered, while some being straight up ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (kind of like playing CS:GO with knife only, which does 10 points of damage at max), so it's eanjoyable for players who like getting strong and oneshotting everything as well as ones who love hard fought victory.

So, yeah... Binding of Isaac has some good stuff going for it.

"I don't like it so other people have no reason to". If the rest of your logical thinking capabilities are anywhere near as bad as this example right here you have some serious problem.

Typical fanboy I explained b4.

Not my fault if you're not clever enough to understand my question, I asked why do you like this game cause I dont know how someone can like it...

I've made the mistake of arguing with delusional idiots before, but not this time. Have fun being accepted by anyone that isn't as braindead and ignorant as you are.

[Morrigan]

reported for trolling and disrespectful attitude toward me, bye.

Controls are awful? WASD movement, the thing controls is like almost every game are awful? Do you even game? Rest of your comments are extremly subjective and no one is going to take you seriously without a good argument.

I mean the character move like he was on a skateboard or soap, he slips when u move.

I do not mean the bind for moving the chac......... that's pretty understable.

Honestly, mate I'm really sorry to say (mostly because you'll just disregard this and call me a troll) but the simple fact is you're bad at the game. That's it. I hope that's something you can accept. Nobody is saying that's bad. You simply suck at this particular game. Now instead of bashing on it just leave it.

It's like Mr.Bone's Wild Ride, once you get on. IT NEVER ENDS!

[zetzet13]

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

[znsh]

Maybe if you weren't so impatient about everything and gave it more of an effort you could actually enjoy the game..

[Kyogurtchu]

Honestly this was how I felt about the game when I first played, but after getting used to the controls it was very fun for me

[Shayla]

Why is it popular? Because it's challenging and fun. Easy to pick up and play for a quick run or for several hours. Different characters that play a bit different and has to be approached in various manners from one another. At least that's why i personally like it.

What exactly constitute something as being overrated? Mass popularity? Diehard fans? What exactly is the criteria for that label, since anything can be dubbed as such.

One of the most addictive and best rouge/arcade type games I've ever played. I own (currently) an extensive library of games: PC Engine, Neo Geo, NES, SNES, N64, Cube, GB/GBC/GBA/DS, Wii, MS, MD, SS, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PS3..... and I must say this is one of the best. Great challenge, tons of pickups, music is great (I prefer the original a tad more), enemy design is cool. There's something that feels like Christmas before you go through a throne room, it's the weirdest thing. I love surprises I suppose. The randomness also keeps it rather interesting.

I love shmups which you could consider this game does fall under (ala Super Smash TV), so I'm biased.

Edit: I will admit though, convenience may play a roll.
