I trashed Under The Mayo before it was cool.

- An archived clip from the old Doom Eternal w/ more ammo LP, posted in light of a wave of response videos with titles like "Under The Mayo is bad" or "Under The Mayo is the worst reviewer on UA-cam". Read pinned comment for more info.
I logged onto doomworld for the first time in years and saw that mod tools for doom eternal were finally being released. It got me thinking if it would be possible to go back and finish lavamod as I had originally intended. As I went back to my old videos, however, I noticed in the sidebar a bunch of videos criticizing youtube channel under the mayo, who I haven't watched since early 2021. I was surprised to learn he's become quite an infamous character online. Just like the Dave oshry/New blood receipts, I figured I'd release this old excerpt talking about under the mayos hypocrisy over TAG2 for archival's sake.
Yes, I came out of semi-permanent hiatus just to be petty...but it feels so good being vindicated by the popular opinion.
Oh, and in case you're wondering what I think about doom the dark ages..."stand your ground" combat. Really?
Miss your content and Discord bro
Yeah, I was talking with Mariko late last night on Discord to see if the "Hamburger Helper" thing I saw in a comment was true. I'm honestly shocked someone even cared enough to leave comments on a dead channel almost a year afterwards. I always did say back when the LP was on-going that I'd be willing to make content as long as there was someone out there willing to watch it.
@@IDrinkLava For transparency's sake, I sent 1 photo of Hamburger Helper, 1 drawing of evil Hamburger Helper and 1 photo of "Panburger Partner" which looks like some shitty offbrand Hamburger Helper.
Nice to see you back again man. I do hope you finally finish LavaMod, but we'll see.
A consistent issue I have with Under the Mayo is that he often lays out design decisions that feels like he's backseating the developers on how to make sections of a game that he's only playing through, as if he always knows better. It's always a running theme with anything not related to Doom Eternal; Dying Light, Batman, RE8, these games he unironically dislikes, and from where I'm sitting from it really has to do with a pattern of a gameplay loop that doesn't satisfy him.
Video games aren't necessarily designed for everyone, he knows that, yet he comes knocking at the door saying that THIS aspect of this game sucks because there's not enough of X, too much of Y, etc etc. The recent Batman review he made really hits home the fact that he prefers a very specific form of gameplay loop, and that's fine. It's just that when critiquing a game, it's (at least imo) expected that you view it from as many perspectives as possible, or at the very least, find a different point of view where someone enjoys that part. Mayo's "I could see that-" seems to be his attempt, but I feel he often gets blindsided by his own opinions, given his review of Batman and Sekiro.
Maybe I'm just riffing, idk, he always has me questioning him occasionally whenever I watch his reviews.
I just find it funny how he's managed to unite so many different fandoms together with his bad takes. Other polarizing online reviewers like Gmanlives usually stay in their lane and review what they know. I also find it funny that with all his bad takes over the years, the only thing he's ever really walked back on was the TAG2 review. The criticisms were genuinely valid and called out shitty corporate practices.
Yeah, would be really cool if you finish your beautiful mod I am looking for!
We'll see. Apparently, idStudio has insanely high system requirements. My potato-ass PC might not even be able to run it. The good news is that the stock maps are already available as downloadable assets, so finishing the mod would mostly be as simple as placing the Things. I think there were some long-standing issues like 2016 Triple Burst not functioning properly, but any new .decl editors may be able to fix them.
I feel like I'm setting myself for disappointment being kind of optimistic about the dark ages. It apparently not just being Doom Eternal TWO already makes it sound like a better game. Slower and being more about dodging projectiles and less centered on franticly flying circles around the inside of claustrophobic arenas, PLEASE that's sounding more of what i was asking for. Could really give less of a shit about the mech, dragon and dumb ass story though.
also under the mayo still sucks? what a shocker. I remember how he would disparage other youtubers for besmirching doom eternal for similar criticisms he would give to dark souls and sekiro, that those games were boring and he kept dying to the same stuff over and over, I thought maybe it was a bit for a little bit but I think the dude is just like.. that stupid and needs to get good.
One of the people who saw the Quakecon footage said the combat is focused mostly on parries and dodges, which makes it sound like _every_ enemy is going to be the Marauder now.
@@IDrinkLava oh, oh no.
man why is this the stuff they're leaning into. It's like these guys never played the OG games, like the connection between them is extremely superficial
