considering they ported it over in a fair amount of time and Nintendo patches probably don't have the same restrictions, I'm hoping they can at least get some bug fixes in.

Is the game locked at 60 no matter what on other consoles?

I remember the wiki showing seeds on many item pages as examples in the game. Can't unlock anything while seeds are active, though, so no cheesing!
Ahhhh very cool! Thanks everyone
Yeah, the seed system is very cool. It's fun to replicate peoples' god runs or see if you can do better with a shitty seed.
You'll get used to it. It's not as detrimental as it seems to be.

I feel like I'm not progressing at all. I bought this Saturday morning and have put a good few hours in. Maybe 4 or 5. I've gotten like 3 floors deep.
Now, I'm old. I'm nearing 40 and I sucked at games in my prime, so shit reflexes aren't helping. I'm hearing dudes saying they

[killed mom/spoiler] after like 3 plays and I'm just thinking maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'm clearly doing a bit better than when I first played it, but I'm a bit concerned I haven't gotten further.
Keep at it, getting to know enemy attack patterns plus good item combinations is key to getting anywhere so no run is done in vain. It certainly took me a lot longer than 3 runs to "beat" the game the first time. Eventually you'll get the right combination of items to push you to the end and sooner or later that won't feel like it was such an arduous task.

Just came here to post. Took me about 15 runs before I won one. Just something you need to get used too.
Don't sweat it. I was garbage at Isaac when I first played. Reflexes are important in Isaac for sure, but developing an understanding of the language of the game, how the game works, how items interact, what gambles are worthwhile, etc. are incredibly important, and you'll develop them over time, probably without even really realizing it. Don't force yourself to play if you ever aren't having fun, but don't stop playing just because you think you're no good. You can do it!

I eventually got my copy of this game working, but oh man... I don't remember the framerate taking this bad of a hit when there wasn't much going on for the PS4 version.
It was doing it sometimes in the depths, but everytime I enter a new room in the

I'm really wondering where you guys are seeing frames drop. I've been playing docked and it's been solid.

Hardly professional work, and sorry if my voice sounds funny, but I'm battling a cold. It sucks because it doesn't seem to happen from anything specific happening on the screen, it does it for several seconds after entering a new room every single time right now.

Even if you play on normal? Im only playing on normal as I'm new to the game but haven't experienced anything close to that.

I've only been playing on normal so far.
Wow that's some definite slow down! I've played for about 5 hours and haven't had that happen once.

Did great on the daily, but right after wards game crashed and I can't get into the daily section anymore. Game just keeps crashing, did not expect that. Normal runs seem to work alright.
Yup same for me.

Iirc it affects all familiars.
What's strange is that it worked fine for the first two days. Then it just crashed at the end and I can't do them anymore. I never encountered any framerate issues though (in 5 hours circa).
That may be worse than the Vita version. And I didn't think that possible.
Happened to me on the first day. It had kept record of the run and just randomly started working again at some point later that day.
Only thing that may have fixed it was that I docked the system after originally playing it in handheld.
Still not had any framerate problems though.

Really annoying to see, gonna skip this. Too bad what seems to be a great game is stuck in such a terrible engine. Is there even a platform that it doesn't have slowdown on at all besides PC?

I remember there was a crashing issue on the 3DS at first that they fixed... I really hope they do something.
So weird because, like many here, I have had no issues at all. I haven't tried any daily runs but for now I'm definitely steering clear.

I went digital so i don't have the manual. Can someone post the controls for me. I see them in options but i don't have an explanation.
I figured out bomb and i finally didn't die quickly but i have a card and some other items i don't know what they do.
Although, if it's like other manuals, then it may be useless.

Yikes, that's harsh. Made it past the womb a few times already and still haven't seen anything like that at least, but that's not acceptable.

I haven't got the digital Switch version yet (next month I think), so how does it perform overall?
Any frame drops or slowdowns to mention or is it more comparable to PC/PS4 performance?
Also, did they eventually include a reset button on a console version?

Wow, never got anything even close to that on even the Wii U version
Wonder what's with this engine to have framerate tank upon entering the room? It's one thing to do so when the room is filled with stuff flying everywhere it's another for it to happen because of nothing.
That's really weird. I haven't gotten a single drop on the womb or utero except when I used Tammy's Head with Brimstone.

I'm hoping this is just an unexpected bug that can be patched pretty quickly. To twitter!
Yeah, echoing others, haven't seen anything like that so far and I've been playing docked. Maybe try restarting the console? Not sure but thanks for posting the video. Hope your experience improves.
Meh, I'm receiving the game today, so it's too late to backtrack.
Hopefully this won't happen too often, the shocking thing is that there's not much happening there at all.

Does anyone know if they started a second run of copies for BoI yet? My local shop says they have it in stock but I don't want to make the trip if it's not the manual/sticker first run edition. Is it safe to assume anything that's still in stock ATM is a first run copy?
I'll admit that I started off not really liking this game, mostly because of the art style. But as I looked at the time, three hours had gone by and I realized Isaac completely sucked me in and doing "just one more run" was the joy of this game. It definitely grew on me and I constantly want to go back to finally "beat" it. There's lots of content here and I I don't regret the purchase at all.

I have an odd question - I picked this up (physical) and noted that when launching the game, the Switch splash screen that displays the console logo before every game launched seems to stay up for a bit longer than the other games like Zelda - It stays up long enough for the little switch logo to do its switch animation 3 times, whereas all the other physical games I have (Zelda, Bomberman, 1 2 Switch) are normally up for just 1 animation.
Anyone else notice this?

Yeah, it's crazy how it does that. I'm not a huge fan of poop jokes and other humor like that, but a lot of the wittier, irreverent things really crack me up. Even the poop. I like the art style though, and love how Isaac's appearance changes throughout each run.
I was also raised Roman Catholic (and have a genuine interest in the stories, people and images that come with it), so I'm a huge fan of a lot of the religious references.
Yeah, it's disheartening to see but this is almost definitely a bug, especially if it's only happening on that floor.
At the very least give it a shot on PC once the first booster comes out.

Tweeted at Tyrone/Nicalis, not expecting a response lol.
Anyone with more internet sway care to say anything... though I'm sure they are aware? Not to put 'em on blast, just to say "hey, some people are having a rough time with your amazing game. Plz help!"

They already know. We've been compiling a list of known bugs over at the BoI subreddit and have sent them to Nicalis.
Tyrone has mentioned that people over at the BoI subreddit are their best bug testers.
Yeah I've noticed this as well.
I played the crap out of this game on the Vita and the years off affected me more than I thought cause I totally stink.
