I love how there are hundreds of people live streaming, making it seem so difficult and Mark just picks it up and wins and then asks for a hard mode.

[@dunkieboi410]

Well this is Mark we're talking about here

[@williamfalls]

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

[@Destilight]

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

[@RykrXky]

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

[@stephenskillern8065]

Honestly he was using probability to determine the best chances

[@antoniogaravo9289]

15:00 seeing the dealer spend all of his items for absolutely nothing while mark goes "bro there's a blank in there" is so funny.

[@smward87]

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.

@@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).

Truly a man of culture

[@HESHRocketWarhead]

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?

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.

[@jaketstephens3932]

@@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.

I think this could be turned into a board game pretty easily. The items and the shots would be cards, the shot cards would be determined by a special dice that has the amount of live rounds and blanks stated on each side for the sake of making sure there will be an amount of them that keeps the game interesting. The one who starts first is determined by a normal dice roll or a coin flip and the one who starts the next round of shots always changes. An abacus to keep count of the revives. I guess the dealer could be a third party to make sure the shuffled shot cards are kept unknown from the players, but there are numerous ways to shuffle cards anyway so it's not that important.

7:58 is the first and last mistake the dealer did before its downfall Probability is Mark's greatest strength

[@k-original]

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

[@gabetechinc]

@@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

Hey Mark. I saw you play this game and the title alone seemed interesting, so I held off on watching the video. I added the game to my wishlist on Steam and then it was on sale, for a game that's already super cheap, so I just went for it. No regrets here, I finished the game without watching a video on it.

@@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.

16:07 actually, the smartest play there is use all of the drink until you either see both blanks disappear, or until you are left with a 50/50. Then, just handcuff him, saw it, and get a guaranteed kill. You actually kinda got lucky, cause I've seen double blanks before in that last round.

[@manasyadav1993]

Was looking for this. Good.

[@tearsim8043]

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

[@MeargleSchmeargle]

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.

[@Popejohn3]

@@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

[@_korbo_]

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.
