I picked Pyromancer blindly the day the demo launched. I think there's some very powerful builds under it's skill tree, so I'm going to push to the end as Pyromancer! Still waiting for my copy to show up, can't wait to play!

That's pretty much what I did to. So far it's pretty fun - only had a couple first day bugs when the servers crashed. It first happened right after I killed a Captain, but hadn't cleared the rest of the level, so had to do it again.

I just hit level 17 and still no legendaries have dropped...I'm still at world tier 6, so that doesn't move too much.

Can a DLC for a 10+ year old game be game of the year? Played a few hours of Binding of Isaac: Repentance last night. For those who don't follow my occasional updates, I have 1300 or so hours up through Afterbirth+. This DLC dropped so much new stuff, and so many tiny little tweaks to existing things, that I feel like a kid at Christmas. Yes, everything was random before, but with the amount of time I put in, I kind of knew what to expect each run. That's all out the window for the most part now. Tons of new rooms, new enemies, new items, new timings (many existing enemies shoot and move differently). I'm having a blast. There's also 234 new achievements, so here's to the next 1300 hours!

It’s so crazy, can totally see why it was in development for so long... pretty much the rebalancing tweaks they made that I’ve came across feel really good, enemies seem a lot faster which is a nice challenge, though the changes to shops I’m not a fan of

Yeah the first room I entered with the flies that shoot threw me off guard. Then I had Widow on my first run, and the jump was startling to say the least. Lots of little timing tweaks. I agree on the shops, the more limited amount of options feels like it did before you unlocked the better shops. Have you gotten Restock yet? I noticed they tweaked that a bit too, in that the price of each restock item goes up. Much harder to break things, though I'm guessing Blank Card and 2 of Diamonds still leads to some madness. I've had some very powerful runs already without breaking the store.

The other thing I'm not super keen on is some of the new artwork for existing items. Grabbed Buddy in a Box in the store, because the new art looks nothing like it used to. Fortunately, it seems like it's been buffed/changed, I got a mix of good and bad buddies. I thought it was a milk carton with a missing person on the side, so I bought it thinking it was new. Mysterious Liquid was the other one. That one is somewhat similar, but just different enough I thought it was something I hadn't seen yet. A little disappointed when it wasn't, but it's a decent item at least.

Have you had any bugs? I've had a few. One crash last night. I also occasionally get this graphics glitch where my health, trinket and item all show up in the upper right corner next to the map. It seems to sort itself out eventually each time it happens, just kind of annoying because it doesn't include the pill/card names when it happens. The other bug was if my controller turned off (wireless), sometimes it would re-register as controller 2. Quick to fix, just go in options and reconfigure controller.

Final thought - I really like Bethany. The book she comes with has some really neat synergies. Best one I've found so far was Box of Spiders. It makes a ring of fireballs that shoot and block shots/hit enemies like other orbitals. If they do get hit, they turn into spiders. The 2 room cooldown leads to a lot of protection and extra damage.
 
Looks like MLB the Show is going to available on Xbox this year for those folks, so that's cool!. I'm looking forward to check it out on PS5. It's probably the only sports series I still enjoy, even though I play a little NBA 2k sometimes.

Cross-post from pre-order thread. Wish I was more excited, but we haven't gotten our hands on a PS5 yet. Not like I don't have enough VG soundtracks already, but it would be a nice addition to the Dark Souls and Bloodborne records I have.

Yeah it’s pretty cool to see a PlayStation studio game come over to Xbox. Hopefully we see more of this outside of the flagship titles but time will tell I suppose.
 
Nah havent unlocked Restock just yet; havent had a chance to sink a huge amount of hours in but I'm sure it'll rectify that over the long weekend now! Haven't seen many of the item art changes but some of other ones are little jarring after putting 700 hours into the game 😄(mostly a few years ago granted). No bugs either!

Currently downloading games onto a PS3 before the shop closes. Any recommendations?!

I think I read somewhere that purchases will still be linked to our accounts so we can redownload any time later. My curiosity is if there are any must-have ps3 offerings that I should jump on while I can.

I'm downloading a bunch of stuff I got on PS+ just in case. Might add a couple of cheap exclusives I find as well.

are you going to get it? it looks really nice, if pricey

I can't, it's way too much. And you have to fold that thing out to three feet wide of jacket before you can get the discs out? That's bonkers but I love it for how bonkers it is. I just do not love the price.
