Hey, has anybody else picked up the expansion.

I've done a few runs, it seems pretty cool. Some of the new enemies seem quite powerful for their level, and the trinkets are downright inscrutable.

It looks like there is a lot more ways to use life to get items, and two secret rooms on a level!

I didn't realize this was coming out. Going to buy it right now.
 
Every time I see the logo for Titan Attacks on Steam, I always think it's something to do with Isaac at first glance.
 
After Diablo 3 it's nice to finally have some satan again.

played 2 games. Really diggin it a lot. Lots of new stuff
 
Not sure how trinkets work tho
 
The new ideas are really awesome. Adds new life to the game. 
 
Really impressed by the content of the DLC not to mention it's only 3 bucks

I really wish the trinkets gave SOME indication as to what they do.

All space-bar items and passive items at least give a weird little hint at what they do, and so do the pills. The tarot cards don't tell you so you have to memorize them, but you can generally tell what the effect is after using each tarot card (the tarot cards that teleport you might take you a couple times to figure out).

But with the trinkets, they seem to be passive effects that only trigger under specific/random circumstances, and I was only able to figure out the effect of 1 out of the 5 or 6 trinkets I had at various points. It would be nice if I wasn't pretty much forced to go to the wiki to figure out what any of them did.

Wasn't aware it was out today - I recall him saying it was coming out at the end of May... Time to drop some cash.

Honestly though, if there isn't a Wrath of the Lamb 2, I will get just as bored with it as the original. Granted, I got my money's worth (150 hours) but by the end I was going through the motions. I guess you can't ask for much from 3 dollars and randomly-generated dungeons, but I still with there'd be a way to make it feel fresh without waiting for new content.

How is this DLC? I haven't played much of Issac since its launch, but I played my fair share when it did come out.

More items, more enemies, more dungeon layouts. Did you like Isaac? If so, you'll like this DLC.

They really made this game a lot easier early on (can have some crazy runs with the new items).

I'm totally fine with this. I love the passive stuff; great idea.

Having now played it some more, I sorta don't like how heavily the item drop randomization is skewed towards the new items. I feel like I've picked up Technology 2 every single time I've played the game since getting the DLC. I've also been getting Jesus Juice, 3 Dollar Bill, Prayer Card, Holy Grail, Dead Dove, and Black Bean pretty much constantly. I would've enjoyed it if they were just thrown into the item pool, and I actually had to play the game 10 or 20 times before seeing all of the new items, instead of having pretty much all of them thrown in my face immediately.

Conversely, in the 7 or 8 playthroughs I've done, I barely encounter items that used to be common, like the Map and Compass which used to be in the shop fairly often.

Anyway, I enjoy the additions, though yeah, most of the new items seem broken as shit, and make your character godlike. Unfortunately, the new enemies are assholes that either move WAY too far in one jump or shoot WAY too many shots, making me pretty much give up on ever getting Dark Boy. I think Basement Boy and Mama's Boy are still quite possible, but Spelunker Boy seems tougher, since the Catacombs can be a bitch.

@BisonHero: There's definitely some balance needed in terms of the drop frequency of the new items, but being that the DLC is still new, i'm kind of happy about it at least for the time being because i like the fact it allows me to get a better feel of the newer items and how fun they are and potentially can be. I would hate it more if i felt i rarely came across newer items throughout my games.

I generally find the new enemies to be too demanding. A lot of people seem to really hate the new spider enemies including the widow. A lot of people act like they're gamebreaking that they show up so early in the game. But they're really not that hard as long as you keep your distance. They're pretty much like hoppers who slide instead of hop

They're more like flaming hoppers, in that they can leap like half the length of the room, and when there's 6 of them in the room, you're almost guaranteed to get hit, especially if there are any webs on the floor. Sure, a single room of them won't kill you, but a lot of new enemies in the cellar and catacombs move so quickly and erratically that they wear you down, as you take half a heart of damage in most rooms unless you do crazy amounts of damage.

I think the widows just move too far in one slide (it's seriously like twice as far as a hopper or leaper), and basically all of the spider enemies are bullshit.

Also, would it kill McMillen and Himsl to update the credits to include the enemies from the Halloween update and the enemies from Wrath of the Lamb?
