10 mins later: "HeLL SuCkS"
sounds about right 🤣
Best part, he wasnt even in hell yet
@@dummydummer6169 because making the player go into melee range to recover HP is just good game design when you want them to play aggressively. you also don't need to do a *melee* attack just to recover health; any blood splatter will heal you, and some of the most powerful weapons will produce copius amounts of it
the rest of it takes a lot more inspiration from spectacle fighters (the style meter in particular), and other boomer shooters where freedom of movement and skill-based gameplay is paramount, which is also where doom eternal gets most of its game design from

There's actually an Easter egg with Mark in it. There's a place called "Tomb of the Kings" and if you break open one of the caskets it has a skeleton with a familiar pink moustache! Really wished Mark played more of this
I’ve seen that! What are you supposed to do with the blue skull tho? You can’t pick it up without putting the torch down, but if you do, the only place you can do so is where the skull needs to go.
@@mantacid1221 just run back and put the torch back and then grab the skull
@@Storse I figured it out. Thanks tho!
He will probably replay ULTRAKILL when the game Is finished
Oh he has to do it now. It’s tradition for him to fully play a game with a Markiplier Easter egg
the fact that he got so far in the cybergrind with ONLY a revolver is pretty damn immpressive by itself
That's what I was thinking. It's challanging enough even when I have the revolver, the shotgun, the nailgun and the railgun that I sometimes fail before the final wave in the video.
And on fucking violent
For a beginner on violent mode it's actually damn good. Imagine if he knew about all other mechanics, dead coining, storage jump and all of that. Mark is really skillful
He was going for Mayo%
i got to round 16 with only a revolver (not on violent tho, just normal)

Mark you seriously have to come back to this game. After buying and playing it myself i’ve become a little obsessed with it, and you’re not even close to where the game starts to get really good
It's in early access and it doesn't update very often. Sure he can try to do minos prime, but it will be better if he plays it after release.
Bruh layer 5 is about to come out, we still have 4 left to wait on. It’s not coming out for a while.
@@NVR_online Sure, but also he didn’t even finish the prologue, or fight the first actual boss with Swordsmachine or Cerberus. He’s really barely even scratched the surface
@@PlanetaryPhoenix True, there's like 10 hours of gameplay on the early access, he could make a lot of episodes quite easily
@@mirkoruhl9324 Other people have become batshit insane in the game. Coin railgunning, Nailgun overheat swapping, quick projectile boosting, and the game isn't even fully finished yet, and people already have become gods at ultrakill. I think it would be good if that Mark would revisit the game to see the absolutely amazing lore and try to pull of all the crazy shit that the cool players can do.

20:52 Mark unintentionally using bullet boosting
Naming coins useless really hurts me considering this is the most powerful tool in the game
I'd have to agree, coming back and rewatching this video after sinking at least 100 hours in the game. Marksman with the secret revolver is stupidly powerful if you can hit the coins consistently enough. I think they can even reflect Railgun shots, but I've yet to confirm that.
@@darkstorm_omega they can. Coins can also deflect malicious face beams and punches if you get the timing right. They can even be used to detonate shotgun core ejects from far away.
@@darkstorm_omega marksman with slab should only be used on bosses. it's too slow otherwise
@@YourPoopDealer when you deflect a malicious face's beam back at them, it give the charge back to the style, really cool watching people do that
@@darkstorm_omega the coins are actually better on the standard revolver. the slab only does extra damage, but the standard splits coins if you time it right, doubling the damage output while keeping the same firing speed

Dear mark
I bid you to play more ultrakill
Not only have you yet to see the wealth of content, challenge, and story the game has to offer. There is so much you have yet to see, learn, experience, kill, blood
Mark is consistently punching his shotgun shots and has no idea he's even doing it.

Because it's not his first rodeo.
Yea when he tries harder.

Also you basically learn how to defeat enemies from the 2nd layer, like 2 worlds ahead with just the stock, you're pretty darn good man.
i love how as the game progresses you start fighting bosses as normal enemies. even though you don't get "upgraded" you slowly figure out how the game works and bosses become easy
Malicious face was a problem for me in the cyber grind for a bit. I went into the sandbox and experimented a bit and found out he's extremely weak to the shotgun
Now it only takes an almost fully pumped shotgun shot and a punch with the knuckleblaster and it's shockwave to kill
You can kill them super quickly with the right combination of weapons

No one tell him
“So apparently I’m in hell.”
Gonna be the lore person who points out that Prelude is actually not *in* Hell but a resource-extraction facility that Humanity built directly *outside* of Hell. 0-5 (the last level of Prelude) is the gates, “Abandon hope, all ye who enter” and all! So when V1’s boot-up sequence says “approaching hell,” it doesn’t mean that V1 is approaching Hell during the sequence, and arrives once the 0-1 begins, but rather that moving through levels 0-1 to 0-5 in Prelude is the approaching process. Without spoiling too much, after beating 0-5, things start to look *really* different, and that’s when things really get fun.
Mark: "Im not looking for secrets anymore"
Also Mark 10 secs later: "SECRETS?!??"
He actually said he's not going to GET any more secrets, as in he won't be able to find any, not that he wouldn't look.
