Suffering is not entertainment, its motivation its inspiration its intuition. Suffering is knowledge and power suffering is art. It is only after truly suffering a horrid fate that you are free and enlightened to do aynthing. A state of RTC nirvana becoming the god king of coasters. Creating rides that cause users heartbeat to reach 9001 BPM, stop restart due to the insane use of elements. Eyes implode lungs burst vocal cords shred bladders stomachs and colons natural lose control projecteling everywhere till they fuse to the coasters rythem instead. Rides that go on forever and make no sense defying all logic and reasoning rides that instill fear yet snare and trap people in their line like a flytrap. All to please Mr Bones giving him an idol to covet something he can truly call MR BONES WILD RIDE(THE RIDE NEVER ENDS) his third leg grows longer and thicker then any limb on his body. Due to this dopeamine injecting murderous reviving purgatory insanity of a roller coaster only a sick and demented god could build to please his biggest fan. True suffering summons Mr Bones. And if Mr Bones has decided he will turn your new ride, transforming it into his new shrine and home. You have mastered the art of suffering and as such you can make everyone feel that suffering that lead to enlightenment over the ages. As Mr Bones christians this new ride Mr Bones wild ride its never ending dopeamine2death2reving riders breaking the riders mind completely leaving them trapped in a purgatory of pure never ending chemical impulses till the riders are no longer human and have become with the ride building it even further. Because once again the ride never ends as this parks god you keep adding to this never ending ride pleasing Mr Bones. You suffered for so long you mastered the art of suffering you turned suffering into stunning art. And as such you created this coaster to show the meaning of suffering in all its glory which lead to Mr Bones being summoned turning this ride into his new shrine. Riders can get on but they can never get off slowly becoming mindbroken and then part of the ride for eternity helping the ride grow even larger. Till all of earth and humanity has fused to this coaster, and with the help of Mr Bones. He teaches you how to truly use your godhood reaching out to the stars. Interlocking the galaxcy and then the entier universe together with every known species being tought the meaning of suffering of joy of anger of pleasure. Everything connected together atom to atom in harmony till BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM the ride breaks down the universe collapses in on itself. The big bang happens everything is instantly destroyed and reborn a new. Mr bones does not sleep he waits, waits for the next person in billions of years to master the art of suffer. So the cycle can repeat anew as the next wild ride for Mr Bones is created. Thank you for listening to my TEDTALK on Our reality&RCT&Mr Bones shared multiverse lore&history how its all conected and one day someone will rise above mastering the art of suffering.

@@waltercardcollector Base RCT2 had a weird calculation where if you build a long line of e.g. fountain scenery items then build tracks on top of them, I think it pays you for each one. And then you delete your track which gives back more money that you normally would have 'spent'. Only annoying issue was constantly spam clicking track pieces and replacing the scenery which takes more time than e.g. a cheat code. This is from decades-old memories so I might be off.

The man finally progressed to the stage of "if I fire everyone before payday comes I wouldn't have to pay you"

[@M.LarsJakubke]

This one doesn't really sit right with me, and maybe that's simply based on a completely different interpretation of what "difficult" means for a challenge like this. Overall the scenario you put together feels to me like it is difficult in the same sense that it'd be very hard for you to guess what number I am thinking of when I say it is between 0.0001 and 1,000.0000. The analogy doesn't quite hold up all that well, admittedly, as in your scenario there is a base understanding of how RCT2 works while with the numbers there's not really much to work with beyond knowing that numbers exist and that they in this case can have up to four decimals. Constructing a scenario as a puzzle is not a bad idea at all, but some of those steps required seem rather obscure, just like that number in my head you have to guess. The base challenge of having extremely little money to work with and hence needing to figure out how to make more or maybe squeeze a little out of the system sounds fair to me, and while having to trial and error your way through various research options (twice, technically) does seem rather harsh, ultimately that does add to the puzzle nature of the entire concept. So while one could argue that's too cryptic too figure out, I'll just go ahead and declare that acceptable for a difficult puzzle. However, the two aspects I believe go way too far and easily reach from "cryptic but doable" all the way into "maliciously obfuscated" territory are the invisible underground path and the black scenery object you can sell rather than having to demolish it. There's a relatively easy way to find the former even if you're not aware of the height marks as you've shown yourself in the video by using the path removal tool, so I personally would already consider it forcing the player to think three corners ahead and hence making this unfair. I can very much see how someone could argue against me here given the relatively straight forward solution is there once you realize that paths can be invisible and underground like that, but I hope in turn you also can see how that might easily go into the wrong direction. And this wrong direction is what I'd personally find so completely unfair that this scenario appears a lot more malicious and backhanded than just straight up difficult: Hiding the very essential key to getting enough money behind what I can only really describe as an arbitrary pixel hunt. Spotting that slightly off-coloured slab - especially when you're not aware it might even be there - means the scenario forces your progress in figuring it out to halt right in its tracks unless you either randomly spot a couple pixels looking a tiny bit different or you just trial and error your way through a wild suspicion you may have that there's something to those black structures..after all, why would they be there if they weren't relevant? Ignoring the fact that they may just be set-dressing or a red herring like the trees surrounding the clearing, of course. Ultimately I think it is a nice idea to make a scenario like this rather unconventional by giving it a puzzle twist before you can properly proceed to beat it in a more familiar way via park building. To me it simply strikes as it was made "difficult" for the sake of making it very unlikely to complete rather than having it be an actual challenge of knowledge and skill as you described it yourself. As I said before, this might just boil down to a massive disagreement on what makes something "difficult", but I do hope you at the very least can see where I am coming from here with this..I suppose technically you could call it criticism, but to me it just kinda didn't sit right. Even if I from my standpoint very much do not agree with the result, I do appreciate your creative work with thinking outside of the box in both this and many of your other videos; been watching you since a very long time and I'll keep doing it as I enjoy your content. Oh, and that number I was thinking of that's oh so difficult to figure out? 5.

[@thekilla1234]

Your number analogy is way off. You are basically saying that you get 1 attempt to solve the park and if you don't figure it out first try then that's it, you can't try the challenge again and then someone tells you the answer. If I was allowed to ask you questions about your number then the questions I decide to ask would greatly improve my chances of getting the correct number. If I'm smart about the questions I ask then I can solve it fast, questions like: "Is it an odd number?" "Is it less than 5?" If I'm not smart about it my questions would be: "Is the number 1?" "Is the number 7?" "Is the number 4?" The first set of questions use my knowledge of the properties of numbers and how they relate to each other to determine the number you are thinking of faster than someone who just knows numbers exist and blindly tries to guess them. Making Marcel's challenge easy requires you to not only understand mechanics and purchase options, it requires you to understand features of OpenRCT2 such as the cutaway feature to find the black tile, which becomes much easier to spot once you cutaway, or the height markers for paths. He even showed an easier technique for the paths if you suspect there are paths somewhere. This park is hard in the same way any puzzle is considered hard. If someone knows advanced Sudoku techniques then a hard Sudoku puzzle won't be much of a challenge to them, but that doesn't mean it's not hard. Someone who isn't good at Sudoku may complain that the puzzle isn't hard and that it just requires too much guessing because they aren't aware of advanced techniques. You are basically saying "I wouldn't call this hard because it's cryptic if you don't know the techniques used to solve it", but that's literally what hard puzzles are.

[@M.LarsJakubke]

@@thekilla1234 That first part admittedly is completely a miscommunication on my own part; I never meant to imply you only get a single chance to guess and that you don't get any questions to help you narrow it down, particularly because that's something you specifically get to do in this scenario, including using the trial and error method to see what you get from research for example as mentioned. But I never actually wrote any of that down to convey that. While I had appropriate questions like that present in the analogy's version I had in my head, I didn't actually end up describing the whole thing properly making it natural for you to reach that conclusion. Under that particular light I completely agree that the analogy wouldn't even remotely hold water and be something completely different from this challenge here. I did very much mean for others to have tools such as the very questions you mentioned to help narrow down finding that illusive number. Where I believe the analogy actually breaks down however is how many questions you can ask in search of the number compared to how many tools and what insight you can apply to solving this scenario; the analogy breaks down because the kind of "questions" you can ask RCT seem much better defined to me than more general ones for the numbers. Although both a RCT pro and a mathematician most definitely can ask smarter questions, that's for sure. Ultimately going through your response does very much show me that my initial suspicion was spot-on: I simply seem to have a different understanding of what "difficult" is in this regard, particularly because I'm not coming at it with the mindset of someone who likes or does many puzzles; If you by chance are aware of the Silent Hill 1 piano puzzle then you know about how far I personally get with these: Cryptic but you got what you need is all found within the same room to solve it. Comparing this to Marcel's challenge the knowledge required would encompass the entirety of the school instead, which isn't really any less fair, just massively bigger in scope; and I presume for puzzle fans that can be exactly what they want. On a pure technical level I don't think there is any denying that Marcel made a very tough nut to crack here, and I hope that's not something I accidentally implied wasn't the case. So coming back to my initial statement: Why didn't this sit right with me? It seems because it is indeed simply not the kind of challenge that's approachable and fair for people like me, however for RCT fans that also like puzzles it's exactly the right kind of difficult, and at that it's very demanding. So ultimately it didn't feet right because it was definitely not for me. But it doesn't have to be.

I enjoy making a cool park with variety in my first scenario, but the voice in the back of my mind tells me I don't need to do this, there's significantly quicker ways, it's just one scenario of hundreds, once I pass the scenario this park will never be looked at again so why do all the effort, etc. And the voice gets louder every time I start a new scenario.

@@MarcelVos tbf, I'm a big fan of skyblock maps. The most interesting part is figuring out which particular mechanics are needed to advance, much like the tricks to get the park rating up. That I can agree is difficult to figure out and is a space worth exploring. I think the hiding of things (particularly the scenery in the stack) is just a bit obtuse honestly and not that fun for the player. Puzzles are more interesting when the components are clearly laid out and the player is still left scratching their head. Totally agree that precise timings would suck as a map.

@@P1ankt0nb0y The problem with "laying out all the pieces in advance" is that RCT doesn't have that many different components.

I would love to see more kaizo scenarios

[@BruceReggieDebbie]

RIP everyone who is about to waste their entire weekend trying to solve this. This is like beating Dark Souls with a sharpened toothbrush that does 1 damage... or 5 star all Guitar Hero songs on Expert with your feet while blindfolded.

"Most difficult scenario" Marcel 2 months later: I beat Improbability with an info kiosk and an umbrella in 1 ingame month world record

[@JJ-pw5we]

"...👹👺 The Improbability 💥💣😡" " Hello everyone 💛🌞💫"

I love your channel, but this video made my head hurt lol 😂

Marcel goes chaotic evil

[@archtansterpg4246]

To be clear: because most of this park is just construction rights, you can't simply raise the land in front of the maze exit and void the guests that come in, right?

[@alithia2264]

I tried to play it myself, got "land not owned by park" error when i tried to hire and place a handyman, tried to plonk down another one, and then the game crashed. I got an error that i didn't have the rtc1 files but it seemed like just a graphic issue, as the dialog window said it'd replace a few images. So I'm just gonna watch the rest of the video now.

Now, I want to see a player beating the scenario doing it blind. (That being said, even with the solution, I'm not totally sure I could reproduced it successfully)

[@ShaneUrbas]

As someone who’s been playing this game for almost 20 years. After watching this. I feel like I’ve never played the game. 😂😅😊

[@BanjoGate]

"Do you have the knowledge of a 25 year old video game..." Yea, a few. Too many, in fact.. RCT is just one of them. With some rare exceptions, I haven't found the desire to sink hundreds upon hundreds of hours into any game that has came out since say, 2011.

Where did the puke go in the shot from 11:07 on, in the unowned park area path tile? 😄

[@MarcelVos]

It doesn't render at that zoom level.

[@ToTheGAMES]

@@MarcelVos Ah! Wasn't sure, because at first sight, the scene after that one did seem to have it, and looked about the same, or even further zoomed out level. Thanks!

this is Mario Maker levels of twisted. what the heck.
