Guest Emotions in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 explained

[@Squarehead9364]

"This path is disgusting" proceeds to destroy 10 stone benches and bends 23 lamp posts

[@Lino1259]

The pinnacle of the broken windows theory

[@Goldenblade14]

Guests turn into the hulk when they're angry enough. Little known game mechanic.

[@veggiet2009]

I'm mean that's pretty much my typical park going experience

[@kaidurbin]

"There too much litter on the paths in this park" *Proceeds to smash every trash can in sight, thus making the problem WORSE* Peak thinking, RCT2 guests. Peak thinking.

[@deltazero3796]

Send into puddle if water to make guest drown ouo

[@JuniorDjjrMixMods]

As a kid I thought "rage" were "enemies" in the game so I killed them all by throwing them in the water. This went on for years.

[@ryanpenrod1859]

That was the appropriate response

[@nthgth]

They probably deserved it for breaking your stuff

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

“You need to cool down there, buddy.”

[@vinccool96]

Marcel is gonna give you his seal of approval when he'll see this comment.

[@madziaraa92]

I did the same 😂

[@johnfrian]

"Do you ever feel happy, sad or nausious? If so you might be a guest in RCT2, as they too can these emotions" This intro quote killed me and I'm still chuckling while writing this.

[@GreatGatsBen]

The power of a big novelty hat overrides nearly all emotions in reality as well.

[@WackoMcGoose]

It can apparently save you from memetic hazards in the SCP universe, too. One of the (in-universe) orientation docs about memetics says that you can literally save yourself by recontextualizing an infohazard as abruptly as possible. Weird statue thingy makes you want to partake in a ritual to summon [DATA EXPUNGED]? Grab the statue with both hands, and WEAR IT LIKE A HAAAAAT!

[@pickles3128]

Recontextualizing any event can be helpful. I once scaled a tube made of chickenwire 8 stories high down to the ground by pretending I was wearing VR goggles. Or pretend you are going on an adventure instead of to work.

[@Dleck6211]

it's funny because it's bigger than a normal hat

[@-DeScruff]

As a kid I remember my friend made "time out zones" to place vandals. It was just a closed off path that had an entertainer, a bathroom, icecream shop, and a free ride thats exit took them out of the time out zone. "How can anyone be mad when there is free ice cream!"

[@chompythebeast]

Genuine rehabilitation instead of swift execution by drowning? We've got ourselves a Pinko, boys!

[@MarissaK319]

Now we call it a sensory room 😂 Free ice cream you say !?

[@Gapeh0rn]

You’re a good person i did much worse lol

[@frozenjune83]

But they're lactose intolerant!

[@WackoMcGoose]

@@frozenjune83 "I'm not paying that much to use ITS A FEATURE, no matter how much I have to make a poo!"

[@ebonywine]

I find it interesting that no matter how angry or tired they are they would all applaud when you win a scenario

[@nthgth]

Everyone has standards

[@chandir7752]

and then proceed to be angry as soon as they're done clapping

[@animestein]

Interesting fact about the hulk smash emotion, is that it and all other emotions is overridden by the "I'm drowning" emotion. Use this trick to prevent vandals, and other emotions in your park professionally.

[@roboko6618]

Dead guests break no benches

[@-Tartarus-]

Marcel: "Do you ever feel happy, sad or nauseous? If so then you might be a RTC guest" Me looking at my hands in disbelief: "Am i?"

[@LuxenDeMark]

Does the soda at soda stall 1 have a really good value?

[@-Tartarus-]

@@LuxenDeMark Meh, value was okay but nothing special. But let me tell you, never seen Soda Stall surroundings so clean and tidy before.

[@TheTdw2000]

Have you ever been picked up by a giant floating pair of tweezers and dropped into a lake? If so then that means you can't be one because you would've drowned.

[@LuxenDeMark]

@@TheTdw2000 Not if you got picked up before succumbing

[@TheTdw2000]

@@LuxenDeMark "If you got picked up" haha ahahaha AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@samuelhartmann1824]

I'm surprised Marcel didn't include the bonus emotion of drowning guests can only feel it for a limited time and tired guests are surprisingly decent swimmers

[@edward9487]

The lakes are made of quicksand.

[@BaronR]

Kid me: Grumpy? Unhappy? Let me show you my 1x1 water square...

[@ihavetwofaces]

I like how in RCT, nobody has eyes unless they are dead tired, about to hurl, or about to kick a park bench in half. Outside of that, you just have two dark pits in your face.

[@dereklenzen2330]

1:29 I'm glad to see the king enjoying himself at your park.

[@eriklakeland3857]

Could you do a follow up on the tiredness of guests? How much do benches help? Do lots of stairs make them tired quicker?

[@lilwyvern4]

Tiredness never made sense to me. All I remember from the manual was it saying that energy is increased by resting on benches or riding exciting rides, but its effects seem really subtle.

[@Ome_Willem]

Je hebt wel veel beroemde mensen in je park zeg! Van koning Willem Alexander tot Miel Monteur😂 Kleine details die de video voorzien van wat humor kan ik zeer waarderen!

[@yaroon4715]

Joran van der Sloot ☠️

[@RinnEryr]

Het accent verraadt het natuurlijk al, maar als een beste Nederlander op KZbin kracht bij daad zet om zijn afkomst te benadrukken is dat altijd een +1 😂

[@hoo2042]

0:03 Do you ever feel... like a plastic bag?

[@DarkWarchieff]

Fear is the only emotion that has a animation (too intense) but no face for it. I had weird dreams about rollercoaster tycoon that made fear faces a thing, zombies, disease, war, etc. Very creepy.

[@RoysGamingGarret]

Let's not forget the other queue based animation that has no emotion, where they check their pockets for cash.

[@MarcelVos]

@@RoysGamingGarret There is also them checking their watch when they've been standing in line for a long time. There are lots of these little animations, but I decided to not cover them as that would've become a little much.

[@galfisk]

Maybe something for another video?

[@hermanni1989]

It would be interesting to know if peeps watching a rollercoaster from a path is just a visual thing or if it has some effect.

[@Paintplayer1]

​@@hermanni1989I'd be interested to know this as well

[@archtansterpg4246]

Just enjoying all the guest names in this one. "MrBeast", "Joran van der Sloot", "Koning Willem-Alexander", etc.

[@elpistachio]

One myth my brother once told me was that when angry guests vandalized park benches/lamp posts, there was actually an animation of them facing the object, kicking the air which would break the object, and them then laughing in the air with their hands facing upwards. I kept trying to catch guests in the act in this way. I also thought security guards could catch vandals and physically escort them out of the park.

[@hermanni1989]

I always thought that the "crotch walk" is a vandal, maybe because the distorted face. Never once it crossed my mind that going to toilet had their own animation. Amazing how there's always something new that I have missed.

[@EnormousPurpleGarden]

The King of the Netherlands must feel deeply honoured to be featured in a Marcel Vos video.

[@607]

The three sick faces are so well done that I couldn't look at them without feeling sick. :/

[@SleinMcAwesome]

0:11 Don't stop that guest now, he's having such a good time, he's having a ball!

[@zach.0]

I had a dream where this game was remade using the original 3d models of everything, but was rendered in the same pixelated style, so you could rotate, tilt, and zoom the camera freely like any modern game, but it still looked like classic RCT, just at any angle you wanted.

[@frankvandorp2059]

1:30 Koning Willem Alexander would never be that happy in a park where no beer is served.

[@Dystinction1]

Guests are the worst. I spent years trying to design the coolest roller coasters before discovering all they wanted was a flat circuit with no features.

[@kiwami5604]

Would you ever consider doing a video on the “satisfaction” percentage on rides and stalls? I never really knew what that meant, I always assumed for rides it was the percentage of guests who do the happy jump animation after leaving a ride

[@SnoFitzroy]

"the overrides hide their other struggles" that's genuinely so sad but also very funny. I too hide my depression when I need to vomit

[@Astolotl]

"Only looks nauseous from the outside, leaving their other struggles invisible" you and me both brother

[@rubysauce]

lol Joran van der Sloot for the vandal is hilarious

[@rickbakker6589]

it's DIABOLICAL 😂

[@HugeZorse]

When I was a kid, the angry red face was a legend. Nobody believed me when I told them about it!

[@wiseSYW]

ah yes, the great monarchs from history, King willem-alexander, queen Elizabeth II, queen freddie mercury, mr beast,

[@frtzkng]

Also, another fun fact: because Energy levels determine how fast guests move, tired guests will drown more slowly than energized ones.

[@baystated]

My worldview is shattered. Guests look happy but secretly really judge me and keep score.

[@sgei]

atleast the dutch king is very happy walking through your park (1:29)

[@meltenvy]

Thank you for this guide on human emotions, KZbin Creator. This will be useful for me as I try to become more acclimated to Earth culture.

[@MasterCrash123]

Just remember to have very vague, cookie-cutter thoughts like "The music is nice here." and "Roller Coaster 1 is a really good value.", and to drown slower if you're tired and you'll be all set. :)

[@TheSultan1470]

Oh, a weeb? Makes sense.

[@adamasagitprop]

The least happy face (not the hulk smash but the 3rd one on row 2 at 6:58) gave me nightmares as a kid.

[@MoonguKang]

Hi Marcel! Could you release a theorycrafting/math video comparing the maximum gforces we can inflict on guests via different methods? I’m curious to see how raising terrain under a guest compares against the vertical g’s of rides Thank you!

[@the_game_1237]

He already has a video kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5SrgZZ9ndehj9E

[@rainbowevil]

Raising terrain under guests is instantaneous right, so presumably g force is infinite? Unless you say that it happens spread out over one game tick, and so would be divided over that timeframe?

[@Filipolis]

Vertical drop coasters are probably the most insane with their holding brakes that stop the trains instantaneously. I think he already made a video on it

[@MoonguKang]

@@rainbowevil I’d love to see the actual mechanical limitations lol based on hardware too like mouse, mouse sensitivity, game display resolution, size of window…

[@TheDolphinTuna]

I’m continually amazed at how much there is to this game that I got in a cereal box when I was 5

[@ae.thelred]

I've easily logged at least a full year of my life playing these games and I've never seen or heard of the potty dance animation! He really thought of everything...

[@flubberinni]

[@Veralos]

"Do you ever feel happy?" Yes, when I see Marcel Vos upload a new video.

[@ImSquiggs]

Petition to replace those doctor charts for emotions with the RCT faces

[@PsiPaula4]

I think it would be cool if you made a video about balloons. What causes a guest to let go of their balloon?

[@Colaholiker]

The guest named "Koning Willem-Alexander" was so unexpected that I now have to clean my monitor. 🤣

[@iimZeon]

[@Pichufan172]

5:49 What a beautifully fitting name

[@unownthequestioning8666]

Never have I imagined that I would learn Psychology in a RCT video

[@beenjamminbunny9977]

Mr Beast was in the park starving, dying of thirst, sick as a dog, and about to piss himself. What did Marcel mean by this??

[@awakened_link1041]

I remember the rage emotion used to freak me out as a kid. I used to drown any guests I found that were enraged. I don’t need that kind of negative energy in my park, lol.

[@BlueBird1994_]

me too, was also freaked out by 'em as a kid and did the same thing XD I always thought they were too far gone and unable to be happy again so yep I sentenced them to sleeping with the fishes lol

[@Webdoomer838]

When I was a kid and I used to believe security guards would "escort" the vandals out of the park (eliminate them from the game) because I would lose track of them and never see them again but what was actually happening was that their mood was just normalizing after they went on a ride or something.

[@cheruwu9659]

watching Marcel Vos videos to learn more about rollercoaster tycoon: basic watching Marcel Vos videos to see the silly names he gives the guests: very cool and chill

[@theretrogamingnerd3316]

I remember one time I was checking the guest thoughts list, and I noticed that red face for the first time. I was surprised because I had never seen it before and wandered what the face meant. I know now that these types of guests break benches, and that's what security guards are for. The first time playing, you'd think they were absolutely useless. I remember hiring a ton of security guards when that message would pop up telling me there was a lot of vandalism in my park. I didnt see it doing anothing though, the guests would still vandalize my park. Unless you set up patrols for the guards in areas with high amounts of dirty paths, they are useless. Honestly, overall security guards are still kind of useless if you can keep guests happy by keeping your park clean, and stop guests from destroying your benches. I used to always wonder why guests would want to vandalize my park. Now i know these things. There are some interesting things about this game.

[@SemiHypercube]

I didn't know the crotch grab animation for needing to go to the bathroom was a thing (I think I saw that in RCT3 but didn't know it was in 2)

[@pbnetto]

It's present since the beginning of the series actually

yo no way you just posted. I just started to DEVORE all your videos (I just came back to RCT2 after 12 years), and finally reached your newest vid. amazing work man! taught me A LOT (a bunch, really) about the game. appreciate it

[@archtansterpg4246]

I think you should also do a video on how each of the guest stats (happiness, energy, nausea) changes over time, what variables affect that, and strategies for players for maximizing those.

[@johnlewisbrooks]

One thing I hated was how utterly stupid the AI is when it comes to guests remembering where things are. I used the pincers to literally place one of these chowder head featherbrains in front of a bathroom to help him and he walked past! Have fun buying new pants!

[@coasternut3091]

Is there a way to find out if the food and beverages actually do anything extra? Like do coffee stalls increase restroom visits but also boost energy? Do burger stalls make them lose energy for a period of time afterward?

[@SpectreXS]

I saw the "rage face" only once when playing while looking through the guest list, and though "wow, this is so rare!", nice to know what causes it!

[@GamePro0012]

Lucky number 13. That's the number of emotions that can be depicted for a guest in their window.

[@sasasasue]

These guest names... Joran fucking van der Sloot as the angry guy and Queen Elisabeth needing a piss 🤣🤣 Amazing

[@chandir7752]

ngl this is just brilliant design by chris sawyer. Especially the angry emotion and how it only stops if there's nothing to destroy. So good

[@geodudism]

"I'm not happy about the state of things in my life right now, man." "I know how you feel, Harold. But the music is nice here!"

[@graduator14]

Love the different emotions! However, if someone vandalizes my park or throws up on my path, I'll happily send them into the lake for a nice swim!

[@Becausing]

I’ve been playing since ‘99 and never noticed there were this many variations! This is genuinely the first time I’ve heard about and noticed the wee-wee walk!

[@SilverScaleMA]

Yeah, I will admit that quite often I will make a "timeout hole" for ragers just so I don't have to deal with the vandalism so much. 😅

[@Thrax-dh8po]

When I was a kid, the first time I saw a RAGE guest, I thought he was going to like, murder another guest or something. So I made a single tile hole at the veeeeeerrrry far corner of my park (a time out zone, basically), and picked up the Rage guest, gave them a VERY brisk shaking around with the claw (because I thought it was punishment to them), then dropped them in that little prison hole and sorta just forgot about them until I started getting "Guest 24 is lost" notification, then i'd go pick them back up - they were usually in the very tired phase at this point because they were basically left in the hole for years, and put them right in front of the park exit so they could leave.

[@Tomah4wkVideos]

Ik moest lachen om Joran vd Sloot als boos menneke

[@stanley3111]

i always place benches at the exit roller coaster. just let them rest to cool down the sick faces.

[@sjoerdglaser2794]

[@vengeful_pluto5586]

The vandalism used to make me super paranoid because I could never catch them breaking it

[@familybroakajonny]

I guess entertainers and security guards are very worth it (along with Handymen and mechanics) because you’d be able to make more money for very happy guests charging a lot for your stalls and rides

[@MarcelVos]

As long as your guests are happy and/or your paths are clean you don't ever need security guards as the requirements for vandalism to occur won't be met in the first place.

[@firockfinion3326]

0:20 I didn't know RTC2 could have roller coaster trains where each car is a different color.

[@kalekaela]

It’s kind of a personal achievement of mine to see a red faced rage guest. When 99% of my guests are very happy, why are you the only one who’s very angry?

[@RaynmanPlays]

Based on the fact that I have these emotions related to my life, I have to assume that my life is a Roller Coaster Tycoon theme park. The Mr. Bone's Wild Ride style, that is.

[@chompythebeast]

Don't give up, skeleton

[@OurHereafter]

Ahh yes the three emotions, happy, sad, and nauseous. And the unheard of angry emotion said to only appear in time of great strife once every thousand years

[@Kwanzatastix]

I never knew there was a difference with the faces of happy and content. They look so similar it hard to tell them apart

[@mikealpha4169]

I, too, have emotions. These emotions are displayed on my face and in my behaviour. I also greatly enjoy balloons and comically oversized novelty hats.

[@ravensLitterbox]

I feel happy watching these videos, sad when they end. Nauseous seeing the rides.

[@PhilipMurphyExtra]

When a building decides to put Christmas Music for four months would cause people to go into grumpy if you there for hour. Angry if you stuck with it all day.

[@happyclonetrooper]

[@RoysGamingGarret]

It's interesting to know how every one of these unique facial expressions is set out on a conditional basis, especially those ones you see commonly. I knew there was a threshold for each and every one of them but I wasn't sure of the exact quantity between each and every individual facial expression per statistic wherever necessary.
