Buckshot Roulette 

with this magic trick all i need you to do is handcuff yourself anddddd

“2024 gonna be my year” the same mf:

It probably randomizes whether the dealer makes an absurdly risky move or not. I think if the dealer were a little less dumb/risky, it would be a very hard game.

@@TheMilwaukeeProtocol nah i learned how it works, he flips a coin unless he knows for sure what it is, and he knows for sure if he uses a item or its the last shot in the gun

"ah my gawd i just saw that happen" Relatable. Truly.

Amen

He does have that beginners luck. Literally and figuratively

Nah I think he's too good

Mark is the god of beginners luck

Honestly no one can even say "he's cheating!!" Or like, "he searched up how to play it beforehand!!" Cause it's MARK. Like he wouldn't

Yeah the dealer's AI is aggressively bad. It will always use as many items as it can in the order that he gets them even if it makes no sense and is contradictory. He will also always just flip a coin to determine whether he shoots the player or himself unless it's the final shot, then he will know if it's a blank or a live round and make the right move then.

"Thats tragic"

For the love of god if there is a hard mode in this game I want the dealer to keep track of the rounds

@@SalilRawatSaxena the “That’s tragic” got me 😂

🤣🤣😂😂

*Refuses to elaborate *Leaves

I did it too, I think it just depends more on luck not skill

"like a Chad" Relatable to KreekCraft

@@govnopochta69 Partially luck, partially because the Dealer is a moron when it comes to using items. And also because the Dealer doesn't actually count the shells: they simply "know" the current shell after using a magnifier or if it's the last shell of the round. And in every other situation, they just coin-flip whether to shot the player or themselves, even if truly counting shells would tell them all remaining shells are blank/live, they'll still coin-flip everything but the last shell (and the ones they magnify).

There is The double or nothing now at least

Well this is Mark we're talking about here

He's the type of player that _always_ hits low accuracy Pokemon moves and asks "Why isn't everyone just spamming this move?"

Seriously people found this game difficult? Rather than a hard mode i wish it had a multiplayer with a coin toss at the start to see who gets to shoot first

Honestly the magnifying glass is kinda game breaking IMO makes it super easy, the 3rd round is literally easier than the first

Honestly he was using probability to determine the best chances

He got all the experience from playing Inscryption

I also beat it first try before seeing this video (I have also played Inscryption there’s a correlation I guess)

didn't dawko do it first try too?

alot of yt’s first tried it, infact i dont think ive seen one who hasnt

this game doesn't seem very hard in concept, I imagine as long as you're at least somewhat decent in strategy games, you could 1st try fairly easily

real

I came here just to see if anyone else noticed that lol

😂😂😂💀💀💀

Mark was playing against Sean. 🤣

@@Shinyomnivore 💀💀

Not to mention the implication with that waiver that god is dead lmao

I think that a drunk man signed that thinking he is a god like he is very good at this game or something. @@saram3449

​@@saram3449 I kinda doubt a buckshot is gonna kill god

This is Mark we're talking about. "Horrifying floating entity with rows of sharp teeth" is just a regular Tuesday for him. Edit: Holy shit! I just checked the date, this video was released on Jan 9, which actually was a Tuesday! WTAF

@@uncroppedsoopit’s more the implication tho. like knowing god lost to the dealer

and he still hasnt won

Those couple of red eyes in the end say otherwise

Lol yea

Mark is better than god, he’s killed god but not Markiplier. He even had to limit Markipliers power by reducing him to Mark.

@@imnotthatbright2836 Nobody is better than god.

It is a fairly self explanatory game, and if you've played any card related game before then the concept of using the odds to your favor is pretty basic. Really it speaks to how well the game is designed where no tutorial or introduction to the rules is necessary, the short item descriptions are enough.

​@@CockatooDudeI will say, it does ease you in.

@@CockatooDude The dealer not keeping track of the shells and wasting items when there can only be blanks isn't ideal.

Remember FNaF? He was absolutely amazing for his first time

Tbf, the dealer was making a lot of silly choices, like blowing his own brains out when there was only one round left in the gun and it was live.

I was thinking the same thing. I had a much better time watching Mark, he actually thought through his plays. While I can say I would have done things differently a few times, watching Jack was just painful in how he misread the odds and his item usage.

Which jack

​@@Heisenberg-realsepticeye

Ur right

Truly a man of culture

He plays fairly it seems. No unseen advantage on either side, no smoke & mirrors, and no unnecessary droning on. Just to the point, a game of chance. The only advantage visible is that he's durable enough to endure three rounds of shotgun blasts, compared to the player's one round. But beyond that, it's fair game. That's probably what makes him even more frightening, because if according to that waiver God played him and lost, what the hell does that make the Dealer?

I noticed that, too!! Definitely interesting.

I didn't even realize this detail until I red this! Thanks for mentioning it.

Definitely would be both after being revived

imagine if the shaking went away after using the spyglass, but only for that one shell

@@Green24152 That'd be neat!!

this man is a beast

i immediately died the first time but after the first round its literaly my game and i quickly and swiftly won. actully right at the end my first instincts is to chug all 4 beers and if the last 2 shells arnt blanks i cuff and finish. sawn off for good measure u see i dont have luck i actully have the opposite of luck. i am an extremely unlucky person so i cant point a gun at my face even if its a 1 and 8 chance and have any hope of surviving. I have to play games with the mentality that i have to eliminate rng. Eliminate RNG and the game is entirely mine.

"Somethin' tells me this aint yur First Rodeo."

It’s very similar to inscryption so he had an upper hand going in

Low-key? Nah I’d say it was quite noticeable.

It's an easy game tbf

Its too easy

Because it is

this game is stupid easy, could be more difficult if the items weren't given out as frequent

it is easy though

As mark always said his beginner's luck is one hell of a thing.

happened to me too

He got so damn lucky. He's had the tools to essentially guarantee a live shot several times, but instead chose to just... Take a wild guess. And it worked every time. Which to me is honestly fucking insane

that's the adhd in him

sending you where

Which is honestly ridiculous; counting the shells is the backbone of the game.

no? he litterally used magnifying glass even though it was 100% going to be a live shot as he had 2 lives and 1 blank, already used the blank on himself so your left with 2 live ones so why did he use it if it was going to be 100% live?

@@Shadow_ball [9:18] It's 1 live and 2 *_blanks,_* it was not "100% guaranteed" to be live.

@@Shadow_ball what are you talking about? can I get a time stamp cause i dont think that ever happened

It's because the game established cigarettes heal you, so people just assume it would do so even if the little monitor is off

@@orions2908genuinely makes me wonder how smart people are. “Look I cut my defibrillator (the thing established as what’s keeping you from dying)” “Oh no, now I don’t know his health!” Like I get it isn’t obvious but some intuition could surely make it more obvious right?

@@coolsceegaming6178 Its because its a video game. When there is a mechanic involved, any real world logic is irrelevant. You don't need to think about what the implications would be as if it was real life, you just know that you can't see his health anymore and in the moment that's all that matters to most people.

@@jaketstephens3932 but there's still logic that seeps in. You heal with cigarettes, but it's been made clear that after this there's no turning back. Doesn't matter what lense of logic is used, if someone says "this is it. No more second chances" it means there's no more second chances, period.

@@coolsceegaming6178 The character can say whatever he wants, that doesn't mean its true and that logic should be applied because it's a video game. There are plenty of games where a character says something along the lines of "He's dead, its finally over" after filling him with enough lead to sink a ship, only to find out that the situation is not over and that the enemy miraculously reappears as if nothing happened. In this example the lens of logic in that situation would have suggested that the enemy is dead after you or another character made it clear that the enemy was indeed dead, but since the developers wanted some sort of twist in their game they decided to do the illogical anyway. Gamers have been getting accustomed to video games ignoring logic for the sake of gameplay mechanics or story telling for decades, so it makes sense that they don't always notice obvious logic even when its right in their face.

100% For those who don't know, a blank round could kill you irl if the gun is close enough. After all, something will still get launched out of the barrel, bullet or not.

They're more like plastic tubes

I like to imagine Mark will be making content till he's seventy

After everything Mark said about his movie, I doubt he will be going anywhere. I also just came from the game theory vid

Not sure if it counts as a mistake, but around the 13 minute mark, the dealer uses the magnifying glass, sees there’s a blank, then expels the blank with a beer… I assumed if it was smart, it would use the blank on itself to give itself an additional turn

@@k-originalI think that since drinking a beer is a free action, it doesn't matter whether you shoot yourself or drink, if you know that a blank will be fired

​@@k-originalthe end result is the same though the blank is gone and its still its turn

I remember seeing that and thinking “the ai ACTUALLY isn’t cheating, huh?”

​@@mothmanafterdark5924 though, if the dealer did turn the gun on itself, it would have had another turn and a spare beer that could have been of use later.

good idea

He that 1% of the RU-vidr. I’m surprise he did not take a break yet

He did fuck up that last round though. He should have slammed 3 beers. If he ejects the blank within those 3 beers, (75% chance to happen) then he’s sure to win. If he doesn’t, he still has a 50% chance, leaving him at the end with an 82.5% (if my mental math is right) chance at winning right there. His choice was just to blast right away, which only gives him a 75% chance of winning.

@@petrkdn8224 its just luck and how you determine in your head which shell would have the higher probabily and just hope for the best

​@@b3but_he_was_here464 I would say that it is around 70% Luck, as everything you get is randomised but then if you get the right things you can create a strategy that could make it easier

I got it first try, second try, third, I've never lost. It's so fun though I've played it 8 times now

Was looking for this. Good.

well no there was a chance to just get rid of all the live rounds and leaving the blanks not guaranteed making it more likely to shoot a live was the best way to go there

Testing the waters on the first shell was smart, the dealer was already handcuffed, so he had margin for error. If he hit the dealer with a live, he'd only need 1 more hit out of 3 lives with 2 blanks. Him drawing the blank meant that there were 4 lives and 1 blank, which meant that using the saw and just going for it again had an 80% chance of outright winning him the game. It wasn't going to get much better than that, and if anything, ejecting rounds had a decent chance of blowing his opportunity at immediate victory should the Blank have been the last shell left. Even if Mark hit the first shell and not the double damage, he had more than enough health to tank whatever the dealer could throw at him during its turn thanks to his cigs and the fact that the dealer had no way to reliably skip Mark's turn without revealing the last blank and guaranteeing it would lose, or just killing itself outright. And ofc there was also the chance that Mark just hit 2 lives in a row and won the game. Barring a huge blunder on Mark's part (as in burning through all his beers), the game was thoroughly unwinnable for the dealer at this point.

@@MeargleSchmeargle well if he drank all 4 beers the probability would be the same for a dud expect he would know the exact results and then can use his double damage more effectively

I don't think winning a 4 in 5 is "lucky". 80% is good enough. As someone else said as well, drinking the 4 beers gives you the chance of drawing out all your live rounds.

why does everything have to have a hidden meaning now, its a stupid cheap game about putting a spin on russian roulette, nothing else

It's not hidden, it's pretty obvious.

where does it say anywhere about anyone cutting off life support, or being addicted to things, its a game that took 2 months to build that you play for 20 minutes and think "damn that was good, on to the next one" your theories dont mean anything

@@MrRockTable it's not overt, at least not to the point it's slapping you in the face. it's about what you yourself take from the game. that isn't a hidden meaning, but it's your own interpretation of the situation. it's perfectly reasonable however to connect this game to certain themes like addiction. for example, when you die in the first rounds you're left in the bathroom with a charge and your character goes back in to start again. as a player you have no choice in this, save turning the game off. you're driven by a force you can't control, as if addicted. The game doesn't have it's own grandstanding message, it's just something that can give you something to think on, if you decide to.

@@crazyscopes4632 Saying that a product is “about” x, y, and z when you’re just giving headcanon is disingenuous.

It's about the ODDS

Luck correlate with skills

Understanding statistical probability is a skill Luck is just luck

Well, you say that, but out of the people I've seen play this game, markiplier is the only one who actually uses enough of their items to get 4 new items every round. I'd see other people with tons of items, and I'm like, "Why aren't you using them?"
