YouTube's Worst Reviewer | Under The Mayo Continues To Contradict Himself (Mayo's Sifu review Pt 2)

  • A couple months ago I watched Under The Mayo on a livestream with Brother Nier 2.0 & more specifically we watched his Sifu GOTY review + his video covering Sifu's easy mode update. Nier convinced me to do a response to both videos and I already covered his actual "GOTY review". So now I am back, & ready to respond to the second (& thankfully shorter) of the two: His video covering the easy mode update "disaster".
    I'm sorry it took me so long to even get the first part out, let alone the second. So it's time to finish what I started... and I sincerely hope y'all enjoy the video.

    You may not know this, but Mayo was given a significant amount of attention by Hugo Martin (the director of Doom Eternal) and they ended up patching the Full Auto Shotgun mod literally because of Mayo campaigning for it to be improved for over a year. Because of his terrible temperament, this has apparently given him a bizarre sense that game devs pay attention to him or that they should. Like, bruh. Grow tf up.

      @@kaden-sd6vb Yes. He has a massively inflated ego. Back when the TAG2 DLC came out for DOOM Eternal, he made an impassioned negative review filled with valid, good criticisms. Because the DLC is very bad. However, in response to literally no one, he took the video down and cowardly posted a different review a few days later, being a lot more positive about the DLC because, as he put it, he was a "leader in the community" and needed to be "more responsible" and heavily implied he was partially responsible for all the negative reviews the DLC was getting. Even though the game had already been showered with them before his video ever went up. Even back then, he had such an inflated sense of self-importance that he thought he legitimately changed people's minds about whether the DLC was good or not and motivated a large number of people to leave negative reviews. It's so fcking cringe.

    "One of the issues with action games is how to make something that can be enjoyed by all skill levels, from beginners to more advanced players. One way is to add an 'Easy Mode,' but I think the best method is when the player can adjust the difficulty himself while playing."

      Easier difficulties can achieve this when implemented & executed correctly. They aren't a bad approach just usually the most obvious. Doing things the way Miyamoto describes would probably be just as difficult (if not more so) to execute correctly. But I think if done well, is way more entertaining than just easier difficulty modes.

    i love how incompatible "games should force you into getting good" applied globally and "easy modes existing" is, because the thing is, neither is wrong per se, games should strive to present an engaging challenge to the player, but not all games need that and not in the same emounts, that's why his critique of ultrakill falls apart, ultrakill doesn't force you into getting good, you decide your pace with the difficulties and assists

      Mayo struggles to understand games & their design philosophies being different from one another. Even if you can draw similarities between 2 games, they can still have different design philosophies & not be aiming to achieve the exact same things. Your example of UltraKill is perfect for this because while we can compare to doom eternal in many aspects, they still have very different ideas behind them. Ultra kill isn't trying to be doom eternal, plain and simple.

      To be fair I think he means the ability to spawn and practice against them after beating them for the first time in the story.
      In fact another game that does this very mechanic to great success is Ultra kill (a game mayo hates) where you can spawn in any enemy that you've faced before, and any amount or combinations of enemies, even boss fights, all within the sandbox mode.

He sorta makes this mistake in his ultrakill review also, Ultrakill was literally my second FPS after I played brutal doom and his arguments to why ultrakill was poorly balanced just did not apply to me. I am still kinda shit at the game, but I think how ultrakill was made it allowed newbies to progress while encouraging them to play better with unlockable secret bosses, not to mention that for veterans there is still 2 more harder difficulty yet to master.

    Like the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Sonic Mania Plus are pretty easy IMO however I'm using every Mechanic in those Games but games like Sifu and Elden Ring are More Difficult but I'm using Every Mechanic those Games Present Me. So I would say those are all Successful IMO.

    Taking aside mayo's self contradictions;
    its a valid complaint if an easy mode is too easy and shouldve been implemented better. "Its a hastily implemented mode post-launch, of course it sucks" is. Kind of the issue. Like how Yhatzee from ZP put it about Horizon zero dawn, "I dont care if the fact that the protagonist is unlikable and boring makes sense in world. My issue is that the protagonist is unlikable and boring." The easy mode could have been well implemented if they took their time.
    Like, Im pretty good at Hollowknight, not to brag, but if the game had a hard mode which was "every boss has 10× the hp and you die in one hit", that would be a badly designed hard mode. It is hard, but just being hard doesnt mean it is adequate. If a friend of mine is struggling in ultrakill and wants an easy mode, but the easy mode just gave you the star power from super mario permenantly, it would also be very inadequate.
    Similarly while I havent played sifu, I believe "easy mode is too easy to be engaging" is an adequate complaint.
    Thats just my 2 cents on the matter.

    I won't lie, never played Doom Eternal. I know people say Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are different, but every time I've attempted to finish Doom 2016 I always end up moving on before completing it. Maybe that is on me, but definitely haven't cared for it. Its sort of almost been like Minecraft for me, which I know these are nothing alike, but they haven't drawn me in like other games have. Sidenote, to be honest, I don't think I have tried a Roguelike game(I mean I didn't play a Dark Souls game until this year, played Dark Souls 3 before Elden Ring, saying I haven't tried a lot of different games), but maybe I'll give Sifu a try if its considered decent.

    Being mayo's friend must be torture, having him trying desperately to get you into some random game he's obsessed with despite it not being your thing and swearing up and down that it just needs an "easy" mode, when in reality if a game like sifu is too hard on normal, then rogue likes probably just aren't your thing, cuz thats EVERY rogue like, playing it over and over getting your shit kicked in and just trying to learn a LITTLE bit more one playthrough at a time
    Its the classic old school style of game design where they make it extremely hard to stretch out run time, think Contra, its not a very long game start to finish but you'll spend days trying to get through the whole thing, and thats the whole point of the rogue like genre, sifu 5 levels, hades 4 areas, deadcells like 30-40 minutes per run, all hard as nails and is going to take starting over again and again, if you dont like that (as mayo knows his friends wont) then this genre isn't for you, but then you got this fuckin guy constantly pestering you about how good it is and saying he'll teach you, RIP to whoever knows mayo irl 🤣

    @grahamlawson402 Рік тому +2

    I do think that it is rather bold and pretentious of Under The Mayo to simply assume that, without an easy mode, every new player is somehow going to be turned off from Sifu due to its difficulty. If the combat and gameplay are as fun and addictive as he claims, then what exactly is stopping someone from understanding the game's steep learning curve, loving the game for its challenge, and gradually adapting to its difficulty? Many people are going to want to keep returning to Sifu and master its gameplay loop, especially since dying repeatedly and learning from your mistakes is one of the most basic and fundamental cores of a rogue-lite. This is, more or less, the same reason as to why so many people are fans of From Software's titles, because the satisfaction of overcoming a difficult challenge by learning and adapting is a feeling that very few other games can replicate.

Then I watched your Part 1 last night and am watching Part 2 now. This is good shit. I don’t watch Mayo’s reviews so I had no idea he was so inconsistent. You guys are shredding Mayo. The comments on his Ultrakill (?) video are hilarious. His own audience is annihilating him. I had no idea he was so smug and full of shit lol.
    And this is a nitpick, but I don’t understand why Mayo is being attacked for having bias and being subjective. Critiques/reviews are inherently biased as they are the summation of one person’s experience with a game. Everyone’s experience is going to be different as we all like/dislike different things.
    Anyway, I’ve liked and subbed. I love these critique of a critique videos. Not only are they entertaining and funny, you’re essentially exposing Mayo for his fatal flaws as a reviewer. Much thanks man and Big Ups!

Wanting good changes to a formula you love but isn't refined yet is fine, but I don't think mayo reviews things for what they are sometimes. Instead he reviews them as what he wants them to be.

    I mean I fundamentally agree that there are game titles that don't require an easy mode and the outright exploitation of people with disabilities that comes out of the whole journo accessibility argument was pretty gross. In saying that I find it hilarious how butt-hurt some people get when a game ends up having an easy mode added (Sifu was always fairly casual in it's difficulty). I personally take the approach of Paradox where I believe people who want to play for achievements should have to have an "Ironman" mode enabled that will essentially force them to play on normal or harder difficulty if they want to get any of the achievements (or lock out some of the harder achievements put there for the try hards so that people can't exploit the easy mode to get them).
    Again tho, don't be a journo who rages about how people are ablest because they won't cater specifically for you or because you're that bad at the game that you couldn't get past the demo and/or tutorial (a certain cuphead vid comes to mind).

Upon using it, everything is instantly 10x Harder, and when you use the same move in a series of Moves, you're struck down by GOD with the Caption "BRO YOU'RE SPAMMING EASY MOVES!!!1!!1!!!!1!111!11!One!!!1!" and, to prevent spamming weapons, if they exist, they'll break/run out of ammo after 3 uses. To add a sense of Resource Management, your attacks must be recharged through ammo packs around the map. Also, a new "Style" Meter is added, and upon filling the Meter, you become Immortal, and deal 20x Damage, as well as getting twice as much XP.
