As a wise man once said: “Human brains weren’t built for this, we’re supposed to be threshing wheat and dying of smallpox.”

Merg playing Ultrakill is like mixing Animal Crossing with Doom, and I love it.

When he said "the coin sucks" during the first swordsmachine fight my heart skipped a beat.

okay so, since you're playing ULTRAKILL, here's some hints:
-Using only one weapon/weapon mod makes your "weapon freshness" go down, which can half/negate the amount of style you gain from killing enemies, so use _every_ gun/gun mod while in combat.
-if an enemy flashes yellow, that means their attack can be parried at close range(although, some enemies are harder than others). for example, Malicious Faces flash yellow before launching that lazer blast, and hitting them will deal damage and negate the attack. Filth melee attacks can also be parried.
-those enemies you dislike have their heads on their shoulders, so shoot the shoulders for maximum damage.
-coin shots automatically target weakpoints, like head/limbshots and certain enemies' weaknesses(see above, the guy with the shoulder-heads).
-certain enemies are weaker/stronger against specific weapons, so pay attention to their descriptions.
-speaking of descriptions, you should *probably* read them for more tips with certain enemies.
-Cybergrind graphics can be customized with _any image file_ from your computer. do with that what you will.
that's it for now! if you decide to keep playing this game, keep these hints in mind! you've REALLY got the hang for it, surprisingly-
love your vids, and i can't wait for the next one!

Theres a cycle at work here
1: I find a fun game
2: "Merg will never play this game"
3: Merg plays said game
4: Happiness

Merg playing and enjoying ULTRAKILL, and also so casually saying "SEX MACHINE" was not something I expected at all, but I needed it.

[accountsnames]

2:20 I love how Merg just cassually punches a statue in the nuts and proceeds to not talk about it.

[UA_Friend]

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY

Merg casually farming adrenaline with every quick-pace game he tries out.

[Takxicity]

I've only seen Ultrakill for 54 minutes and 54 seconds but i already think it's one of the greatest games of all time

[giulgu]

Merg playing ULTRAKILL is not something I expected, but something I needed

[crosswegan]

"Friendship ended with PIZZA TOWER, I'm P'ing all over the ULTRAKILL now"
- Merg's totally exact thought process









I will never unhear him saying "SEX MACHINE" out loud though without years of therapy

[Crosby]

Merg in my 2 years of being a fan of yours this is really unexpected.Please dont abandon this game

[foadmoalem]

6:06 “but i can destroy you normally, i don’t have to parry”

that’s what i thought at first, but this game is so fun you end up going for parries because it’s stylish

[hikarioss]

I feel like my brain is just gonna stop getting surprised by the games Merg plays on his channel. Every day it passes, just gets more and more unpredictable, which is appreciated, cool to see he trying to keep variety.

[aleph-nil]

Tip: You can parry almost anything in the game (including the shotgun's primary fire) and if there's a yellow flash it means you need to be at close range to be able to parry the attack (like Malicious Face's beam or the Swordmachine's sword).

[MemesSSChara]

I don't usually comment on Merg's videos anymore but seeing Merg playing ULTRAKILL unexpectedly suprises me.

[OrangeTheOrb]

No way, Merg actually played Ultrakill, dude, this is the best day of my life, THANK YOUUUU

Here is a tip if you want :
If your planning to continue this playthrough, try to shoot ur shotgun and then immediately press f to punch, it will make the shotgun bullet explosive

I have to edit this comment so many times dude wth

[Oofator]

This was so cool merg. Here's some very useful tips to become *god*. I know this might look a bit overwhelming, but I think you should really check out the style and the shotgun sections specifically

*STYLE*
- There is a weapon freshness bar below your style. Pay attention to that. If you use the same weapon/weapon mod for too long, you won't be getting ANY style from it. The multiplier there shows how much style you're getting. Switch weapons and weapon mods very frequently and you'll be styling on 'em

- Switching weapons frequently is essential for being stylish, But moving around at high speeds and parrying stuff is also very important :)

- You can parry almost EVERYTHING in this game. Every projectile, the melee attacks of the "frogs" :) and boss attacks with a yellow flash can be parried to deal them a lot of damage. Also, you instantly heal to max hp when you parry.

*SHOTGUN*
- The shotgun is extremely powerful. Try punching immediately after shooting it and see what happens ;)

- Hold down shoot and press "E" rhythmically to switch weapon mods. You'll be firing MUCH quicker and dealing enormous damage.

- You CAN use the overpump explosion of the shotgun. The dash gives you invulnerability, so dash just before exploding it and you'll completely negate the damage ;)

- You might have noticed, but malicious faces die extremely quickly to point-blank range shotgun shots. They die to it in 3 hits. So, get up close and personal to those bois and blast them in the face >:)

*MARKSMAN REVOLVER*
- The coin is the single most complex thing in the game, which creates many opportunities for combos. But they're also kinda difficult to use, so don't get upset if you can't get the hang of them yet.

- Try getting a hang of the trajectory of the coin. When you're moving, the trajectory of the coin will be different. For example, if you're moving sideways, the coin will also go sideways. If you're going forwards or backwards, so will the coin

- When an enemy is charging up their projectile, shooting a coin at the right moment can make them go *BOOM.*

- EVERY hitscan bullet will ricochet off of the coins. Even things such as the yellow explosive projectiles of malicious faces. The bullets will increase in damage with each coin. Keep this in mind when you unlock a certain superweapon ;)

*WEAPON SYNERGY*
- In this game, almost all weapons have some kind of interaction with others. For example, you can shoot the grenades of your shotgun with your revolver, which makes them create a huge explosion. You might wanna experiment in the sandbox, as there's so much to be discovered, and the game doesn't really teach you those things.

Of course, you don't have to learn everything immediately. Take it slow. I wish you good luck with ultrakilling

Also Merg don't forget to always read the Tip of the Day in the terminal at the beggining of every single level, the hints there are pretty helpful and may teach new tech for you to do.
For example try parrying your OWN shotgun shots, shoot and immediately punch
