What If Russian Roulette Had STRATEGY? - Buckshot Roulette 

ikr

I mean the man is like crazy smart

that sounds way more funny that it should be 🤣

Yeah I was pretty excited to see Tyler played this cuz I figured he’s smart he’ll know the statistics of it. It’s nice to see

@@coconutgator4169who knew the person who plays complicated puzzle games understands

I believe the dev isn't going to improve the ai in order to maintain a level of fairness. However, there is a mod that drastically smartens up the ai. No longer a coin toss if the dealer doesn't know what's loaded, and actual strategic use of his items.

@@isaacpalmer1214 The dev actually did improve the AI for the Steam release, but only in the endless mode. It still runs on "don't know? 50/50 either it happens or it doesn't" in the standard game.

Best I can tell, the normal mode still has the same AI as before while endless mode, the dealer seems to be able to count shells.

The Dealer AI in endless mode plays very well, checking the ratio of live to blank rounds left in the shotgun and choosing where to shoot based off that percentage ratio. At least that's how I think it works from what I've personally seen, and given that he knows when there's 100% chances and is more way more likely to shoot you than himself in general compared to standard mode. Double or nothing was actually considered too hard at first because there were rounds where both players would have 2 health and he would guarantee that he dealt 2 damage regardless of what you did. Handsaws have been patched out of 2 health rounds now though.

Someone used a mod that made the dealer always pick the optimal strategy and the game was a total RNG-fest. Ironically making the dealer more predictable also made the game way easier for those who knew how to play optimally, at least until they got put in a situation where there was zero chance of winning. Needless to say, not very good game design.

aliensrock play every game need brain because alien one are better than earth one

​@@cuenta007 Don't forget the Rock. (It's important)

fact

This game is basically a puzzle game but with luck involved

I know, so glad he figured it out that fast.

Really only smart if the odds are stupid stacked for you, or you know it's only blanks

Markiplier also technically went for only shooting the Dealer, but that was more out of "it makes no sense to point the gun at myself - if I'm going to die, it's going to be only from pointing it at the Dealer" rather than statistical strategies

Why would anyone shoot himself there? It seems like a really stupid move.

@@syndere6755 Also in general, it's not viable to point the gun at yourself, assuming you're in the common situation of not knowing what's currently in the chamber. There's a video that gets into the maths about it, but the way I think about it is that you'll have 3 scenarios in play: more live shells than blanks, a 50/50, or more blanks than live shells. The first two obviously make sense to shoot on: one is statistically likely to hurt the Dealer, and the other is a coin toss either way, so you might as well just shoot. The "more blanks than live shells" scenario does require some thinking ahead though. If you shoot yourself, you'll have a slim chance to shoot yourself, but you'll most likely have 1 or more blanks before you encounter a live shell. If you empty the chamber of even one of the blanks from self-shooting, once the shotgun is handed over to the Dealer, he has a greater chance of shooting you compared to if you had just shot him, blank or not. Emptying the blanks by shooting at yourself will only end with you shooting yourself, you shooting a blank, or you shooting the Dealer - the only difference between this and just shooting the Dealer is that you don't risk hurting yourself AND you give the Dealer less to work with by keeping more blanks in the chamber. If you just shoot the Dealer, you're more likely to shoot a blank, but also the Dealer will be forced to deal with more blanks, forcing him to use items, rely on chance, and/or risk shooting himself.

It also acts as an endless mode

This means Dealer: wanna gamble? Tyler: ❌NO!❌ Dealer: with your life? Tyler: ✅HELL YEAH!✅

I still don't understand why anyone would shoot himself there.

Do people just suck at counting?

​@@JTCF normally id say content creators would do a bit better, but they have to commentate so they might misremember how many shells are left

@@JTCF counting what exactly. not trying to be a smartass just want to know what the variables are in your head to come to a decision

There’s a 66.6% chance of getting a blank

The reason it happens is because the dealer choses a 50/50 on every round except on any shells it knows for a fact.

@@omegahaxors9-11 wasn't there a video of him checking with magnifying glass, and then going for it anyway?

@@zeekeno823 If they use beer after checking the shell they will think that the shell currently in the round is the one they ejected.

Ok dude

@@x3naurus no it actually makes sense

The scrybe of money. Uses his trusty shotgun to create cards.

​@@lily_littleangel Lol his cards would be a credit card

i wonder what the narrative would be like

It's weird, since it doesn't seem like a hard game to write a good AI for, with how simple the statistics are. Maybe the dev just wants to ensure it isn't too hard to outsmart the dealer.

@@an_asp Yeah, you are getting a bit of an edge, instead of having the dealer always do the most optimal thing. Of course, you always have some edge for going first.

@@an_asp Yeah. It shouldn't really be that hard to code the dealer to optimize his chance of victory. There aren't that many interactions even taking items into account, and it all boils down to relatively basic statistics and probability. However, not every gamer is good at actually understanding how probability works so the AI is (I assume) purposefully not coded to play optimally to make it easier for the average player.

The AI doing the most cursed thing of using a magnifying glass and knife into shooting themselves and losing

@@nameynamd9212 That shouldn't normally happen, because when using the magnifying glass the dealer knows who to shoot. BUT a funny interaction, because he uses items in a random order: If he uses the magnifying glass first, and sees a blank, but then uses a beer to eject that blank, he still acts like it is a blank, because that knowledge doesn't get erased until he shoos, and points the gun at himself.

TRUEEEEEE, everyone is like "oh, interesting" and pass on the implication the paper has

With the types of games Tyler plays, he probably has a bit more braincells than your average streamer, letting him understand the implication of the liability paper.

Can you explain the liability paper? Didn't really get it and this is the first time I'm seeing a streamer point it out?

@@onuhrita5009The liability waiver being signed by god shows god played roulette with the monster. The blood on the liability waiver implies the monster killed god in a game of roulette.

People don't even pick up on the fact that the lines being cut means next shot you're dead, and not just "oooh your lives are hidden now!"

@@bekfaststealer2660 I mean, it isn't super well communicated

I don't get why two broken lightnings instead of just one then.

​@@twilightvulpineProbably because that way if they have 3 lives (1 normal, 2 broken), then two damage would get down to 1 broken and then the lines would get cut. If there was only 1 broken then if they have 2 lives (1 normal, 1 broken) they could get shot for 2 down to 0 without the lines having ever been cut.

Or, if just going by where the live round is located: There is an 1/3 chance that the first round is a live round and you hit the dealer. Then, there is an 1/3 chance that the second round is a live round and the dealer shoots you. And finally, there is an 1/3 chance that the third round is a live round and you hit the dealer. 2/3 odds of hitting the dealer as you shoot twice. When you shoot yourself instead, there is an 1/3 chance the first round is live and you hit yourself. Then, there is an 1/3 chance the second round is live and you hit the dealer. And lastly, there is an 1/3 chance that the third round is live and the dealer shoots you. 1/3 odds of hitting the dealer as you only shoot the dealer once. The dealer shooting himself can be ignored as it basically doesn't matter.

Alternatively, you can think about it in terms of how many times each player would get shot. If you choose to shoot the dealer first, then the dealer will try to shoot you, then you shoot the dealer, results in dealer getting shot twice, you getting shot once. Whereas the inverse is true if you shoot yourself first.

It's actually higher because the dealer shoots himself half the time.

i think its cus it just got a steam release

We takin' them quaaludes with this one!

Nothings stopping you from making a similar game, or even innovating on this concept with a new twist

​@@IAmUnderscoreoh no the presentation on this is too good for me to follow up on I don't know how I could innovate on it anyway, the game is getting updates, any idea I have will probably be done anyway Or it's just too out there to work in a game

super cool that its been made in geometry dash, but idk if tyler would play gd just for that
