becuase it could hurt the little children's fragile minds, after all we wouldn't want people like banjo and manic man being corrupted by our adult content now would we

i wasnt aware the binding of isaac was some kind of religious statement

it's not even fun though. it's literally just zelda with projectiles. BAD projectiles at that and 99% of the time will never hit what you're trying to hit

You know I figure we all ought to have the same opinion anyways so let's decide on what we want to convince everyone is the right choice.

I don't even give a shit about TBoI. I just think it's stupid for Nintendo to be censoring games in 2012.

I heard about that a while ago. I don't really care, though.

i'm just saying. it's not that great. it's something you'd expect out of a *crag*ing flash game. but nope you have to buy it because "indie" game devs just want to make shallow "games" and call them "art" to fool people into thinking that what they're buying is good. that's not to say that all indie games are bad, but when you start charging for an indie game, you'd better make the experience worthwhile. otherwise i can just go to some flash game site and play something that's probably 10x better for free.

Why do you think this is "art" to anybody? Nobody ever bought Issac for the art, it's a bunch of goddamn poop and monsters. You never know what you're going to get out of the game. The entire game is randomized, from the rooms and bosses to the items. And since the items are pretty different, along with the combinations themselves, each time you're playing differently. One game you're playing with Technology 2 and Spider Bite for slow motion lasers, the next you're getting in close range for Mom's Knife. Put that it in with your own judgment, luck, and skill, and you've got Issac. And it's pretty damn fun. I paid only $2.50 for the base game months ago and it's one of the best purchases I've made all year.
