Topic: The Binding of Isaac Rebirth

I've been waiting a long time for this game and I'm glad it's finally there! I'm enjoying every bit of it but I'm just wondering if you guys came upon some bugs like I did.

At some point (I don't know what triggers it), what seems to be a ''layer'' of sprites become invisible. That layer consists of the small pencil-like animations between each level (the animation in the bubble), the floor and the sprite of Isaac himself in the first area of each level (but if you leave the area and come back it's fixed), and some bosses. It's nothing annoying except for the bosses. It's not all of them though, only some of them, and since I know most of them, I can manage it. To get rid of the bug I need to shut the game completely. It happened more than once. Hopefully it'll get fixed in a patch soon.

The 3DS version can have its own thread.

Will it be used alongside the WiiU one, or will only one survive? That's up to the users I guess.

Welp, the buggy mess is getting a patch soon, a patch has been sent to Nintendo, maybe then I will get the game, would prefer the handheld version more then a console version.

Oh good! I've been encountering lots of bugs, including random invisible enemies (including bosses and Mom) missing floor and wall textures, and Isaac being invisible except for all his upgrades. Good to know they're aware of it at least. It's not unplayable but I did die because I couldn't see Mom so it is definitrly a hinderance.

All the bugs disappeared when I restarted my system but who knows when the game will get buggy again.

They should of delayed the game...would of been better to have a working game then a broken game to ruin their rep.

The game is meant to be played again and again, and is kinda very hard for newcomers. If you really want to play, I'd say get it now so that you can practice a bit and when the bugs are fixed you actually stand a chance to beat it

But it's very nice to hear that there's already a patch making its way!

Just to let you guys know, I've been playing the game some more and it seems to be bug-free MOST of the time, so it's not unplayable or anything, I would still say get it now. Based on what I have experienced, the game loses some of its textures on the walls and/or floor maybe 20% of the time give or take. Enemies go invisible too sometimes, but that happens less often, and only seems to happen in conjunction with the losing textures thing.

I still think it's worth a buy as it is now, since there's a patch coming anyway. If there had been no patch coming it would be a different story but since it is I say go ahead and buy it.

Ok something strange happened.

I was doing a challenge and at the end, instead of taking the trophy, I went back in the last room. There were 4 items. I took one and then waves of bosses appeared. I managed to beat em all, and then one item appeared. It was the useless book of sin. I took it and went back in the final room to snatch the trophy. My challenge was complete (it was The Host), but nothing more.

Anybody knows what it was and what's the use of it? Did I beat all those bosses for nothing?

...So...how is this game compared to the Wii U version? (or PC I guess)

So far I haven't encountered any bugs besides Azazel eyes staying the default Isaac eyes even during animations when it suppose to be closed, haven't encounter any lag either. Overall I'll say it a pretty good port, but it still worse than the Vita and PS4 port. The Wii U gamepad feels wonderful for a game like Binding of Isaac.

Oh thank goodness! The game's only ever crashed on me once, but the missing textures were really starting to become a pain. No more invisible bosses hopefully?

I got the game and it's really fun! had a really good run and beaten Mom on my first try (well didn't die once...had to fight her multiple times cuz I kept teleporting out of the room), when I defeated Mom I thought the game froze...however it took a moment and everything became ok.

Watch out for the patch, guys. Here's what I read on gamefaqs:

''So I've been playing this non stop, before the patch I only encountered the invisible bosses glitch once and the music glitch a couple of times but no freezing. Now that I downloaded the patch, my game has frozen 3 times on me within 2 hours.''

And it happened to me too. It never froze before the patch. First game I played after the patch it froze... so yeah... maybe it's best to wait for the next patch...

Now I wonder if I can uninstall the patch and not lose my save file...

Oh and about my last post, thanks for the answer, but just so everybody knows, doing a Boss Rush during a challenge doesn't unlock anything, so I did do it for nothing. You have to clear it in the main game with the different characters.

It seems that once you update the game, there is no turning back, and if you haven't downloaded it yet, you don't have a choice, it's IN the game itself.

There is no separate file for the data of the update...

Dude...edit button. >_>

Since updating I haven't encountered invisible bosses and enemies anymore either, but I also have had my game freeze on me twice. It won't affect your save file though, so no need to worry.

I'm glad the game starts you off on the floor you were at when the game freezes or you turn it off. If I had my entire run up to that point deleted because of the game freezing I'd be pissed. As it is now it's a minor inconvenience.

Still would like it patched out though.

The game never froze and had a error occur on me once, as said before the first time I beaten Mom I did get a freeze, however I just waited for a moment and then everything was alright, there was a couple of times that had slow down, this usually occurred when a lot of things exploded, other then that I'm my experience is pretty good!

I've yet to encounter and bugs after numerous runs, I most likely just jinxed myself however.
