What’s up, assassins? Max here. And I have to be honest: I’ve been broken.

Just today I finished the last needed run on The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (Afterbirth plus edition) with the character Eve against Delirium. It was epic in a way (there’s now a 5% chance of instantly going to the last boss, skipping 45% of the game’s progression, which is what happened) that I wasn’t really under-prepared but I wasn’t overpowered either. Now I have that feeling of emptiness you get after you finish a really good series or a book, that you never really wanted it to end. TECHNICALLY I didn’t 100% it, but the last achievements require me to do 11 more daily runs (easy since you just have to participate in them) and get all the items (of which I already have around 99%). So yeah, sad but inevitable, it’s the end of an era for me. And on the bright side, it means less backlog, right? And what backlog this game was!

Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

On a more positive note, I got accepted into the cool kids group. Yay!

Wow congrats!! Well on the plus side, you”ll be able to tackle other stuff in your backlog. Plus you’re probably not shielded that Edmund comes up with another DLC.

Max Mnemonic

Thanks! They have plans for adding more content through adding mods officially into the game, but unless the new content is tied to achievements, I don’t think I’ll try it. I have enough problems as it is to pick up the 500+ items in the game for the last achievement, who knows when I will encounter the new items naturally.

It can take quite forever -___- Good luck, may the random be with you ;)

Max Mnemonic

I did it!

It was really hard for me to remember all artefacts and strategies even in 1st BoI. Rebirth is much bigger so I wonder how anyone could orientate among them.

Max Mnemonic

1st BoI was a lot simpler, but it’s easy to remember them if you put a lot of hours into it. It’s a lot of trial and error too, but you reach a point where even if you are not very good at dodging, the strategy you pick can take you a long way, so it’s also rewarding to try and memorize item effects and shit like that.

Wow awesome!! So many hours in Isaac :o At least now you have more time to handle your backlog.
Still, amazing job man, congratulations! :D

Max Mnemonic

Thanks! I look forward to playing something that’s not isaac.

pedro

one doubt, im playing TBoI:wrath of the lamb, in rebirth/afterbirth devs rise the chars’ dps? When i see in youtube this game, sense as the player kills the mobs more faster than me in TBoI

And great work with rebirth

Max Mnemonic

Yeah, but I guess that comes with the number of items, it’s nearly x5 times the items in the original, so you get more chance of a dps upgrade.

CaerBannog

Nice one! I can’t bring myself to do that too :P But really nice!

Max Mnemonic

Thanks! It helps that I’m in a way addicted to the game.

Formidolosus

Haha I know that feel. feels bad man. A game you have plugged hours into and suddenly it’s over… you wonder if you will ever love again.

Max Mnemonic

I can only hope…

metyGAME

Congrats of all the achievements and sorry that it’s all over now! But now you get a chance to find the next awesome game/era :)

Max Mnemonic

Thanks, man!

Wow, I’m impressed. I’ll get there someday… hopefully. I’m at 169/339 achievements, so still a long way to go :)

Max Mnemonic

Don’t give up! You might not be there yet, but it get’s progressively easy.
