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

[@ChaozSquad]

"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." -Shigeru Miyamoto Miyamoto would hate to see Mayo’s video on sifu lmfao

[@PsychonauticTherapy]

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 would hope he hates Mayo's videos.

[@mordecaiandthekobokerz]

@@PsychonauticTherapy What would be your ideal Easy mode?

[@PsychonauticTherapy]

@@mordecaiandthekobokerz I don't necessarily have one, and there's a vast amount of ways they can work. It really depends on the game, what type of game it is, and the developers vision etc. In some cases I may not even have an ideal easy mode (like fromsoft games). So what I'd consider as "ideal" is really on a case by case basis.

[@FoxUnitNell]

@@PsychonauticTherapy I think he just means having an easier but longer path with a great item as an alternative to a dangerous short path with no items. With the original Zelda, the outer world could be ran around to get different items and hearts to make the game easier than just doing dungeons but it was time consuming.

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.

I hate, in so many ways, how mayo's logic works (or lack thereof). But my biggest gripe is with the logic behind why he wants an easy mode. He wanted it because he had people he wanted to recommend the game to, but didn't think could latch onto its mechanics. Y'know what that sounds like? A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX! Literally coming at it from the angle of "i don't think people are smart enough to understand the game"... God i hate this guy

[@TheCapitalWanderer]

[@Azzie-z3b]

Nah some people just play games less or are just worse, not in a rude way but it is just fact. Also yeah the game didn't explain a lot of things well until the latest update. I.e dodges were shown twice but people just forgot about it and had to search up how to beat sean to learn about the avoids.

[@user-ns4zm8qe9p]

@@Azzie-z3bI mean, can you blame the developers for people forgetting one mechanic? I’d say that’s probably why they designed Sean and the Club the way they did. You aren’t allowed to beat that level if you forgot how to avoid, unless you’re a parry god but no one is on their first run. I think it’s excusable because they really hammer that mechanic home in the club and it’s so early on in the game

I got into Mayo's channel from Doom Eternal. Basically the same video of him criticizing other channels for misunderstanding DE.

[@skylex157]

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

[@PsychonauticTherapy]

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.

[@skylex157]

@@PsychonauticTherapy i've said many times that ultrakill and doom are as comparable and incomparable as mario and sonic or battlfield and cod, yeah, they all are in the same genre but what they try to make the person playing feel is so different that cannot be treated as they are one in the same

Also- if it comes to easy mode in hard games, I like how Pathologic approached this issue. They inclued the dificulity slider, quite in depth one, but they also pointed out the difficulity they designed the game to be played on. There's also Celeste, but I have more expiriance with the former

[@PsychonauticTherapy]

The main thing I wanted to highlight really is that making easier difficulties is usually just the most obvious approach but not necessarily the best option. Some games just don't need it or were designed for it (souls games for instance) & I fully believe Sifu is another example which didn't need easy mode.

[@Aries0098]

Mayo just wants everything spoon fed to him. And complaining that easy mode is easy? Jesus Christ.

[@keelanbarron928]

Yeah. Honestly, if you want things to be easy, that's fine. Just don't complain that the game is easy afterwards. (Personally, I suck at games in general and wouldn't be playing mostly any games, so I'll gladly take easy mode, but I'm not gonna complain that it's easy.)

[@dankmemer7431]

I don't personally care how hard or easy a game is if I'm using 90-100% of it's mechanics, if it does this then I would say that it's a Successful Game on what it's trying to Achieve, but then it also comes down to how good the game feels to play, but that's very dependent on what the game is and what the context is of said game. 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.

[@ishanagarwal475]

I think Mayo in his reviews makes the mistake of thinking that everyone playing games plays them the same way that he does. 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.

If you can spawn bosses and learn all the patterns in a safe environment before facing them for real, what's even the point of having bosses in the first place?

[@PsychonauticTherapy]

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. I think it's perfectly acceptable to want that, and to earn the ability to practice on them after beating them initially.

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 think if I let myself get bullied into a corner I should really feel panicked and like I need to get out immediately because in a real fight I’m sure getting beat in a corner by multiple opponents feels pretty similar, might also be hard to see what’s coming. I like it for the immersion however I completely understand and can’t even disagree with the criticism

[@fishtonk5506]

To fully sink in how bad under the mayo is as a game reviewer, I spent 1 day watching video on how he’s a bad reviewer and over all of this one day journey, I had more fun breaking his downright narrarsacistic character down than watching any of his game reviews.

[@swiftstrike4044]

Great video man. Can't wait for the next project. Edit: mayo made another one. Goddammit

[@PsychonauticTherapy]

Yeah lmfao I will be watching it on stream at some point to see how bad it is, & if it's worth my time.

[@heckboi9144]

Mayo and Midnight were the worst thing to happen to Doom Eternal. I really hope Hugo Martin doesnt listen to them in whatever game he works on next.

[@igg7865]

[@camtubecamtube]

wait i know this was 5 months ago but whats wrong with midnight? aside from his clickbait i don't really see what harm he does. i guess it's pretty annoying that he gets my hopes up but personally some news about doom and such is better than none.

[@HCliff-ki6xi]

Mayo: Sifu hides things in the "lore" that I would actually have to READ! Sifu also literally explains a mechanic in the tutorials that you still have yet to recognize you overlooked. I wonder what his take is on the "info blocks" in Mario games. "I had to press the jump button to hit this block so I could learn about the game and it's mechanics ... That's just TOO MUCH Nintendo!!!"

This is so cathartic to see people finally realizing how bad this guy really is. I'm over it now and definitely don't waste your time doing this but if you go onto any of his awful DMC takes you can find some full on essays from me I wrote while high on painkillers & I still completely wrecked him 🤣 he didn't respond to me at all at least as far as i saw in my notifications typical of Mayo hearing any slightly thoughtful counter points

I like that there is a community of people tearing this guy down. I found him after the disappointment of doom eternal turning into a red light green light platformer and found his stalwart defense of that game to be so contradictive. Dude is definitely someone that will actively harpoon their own logic to try and win an argument.

[@tadpolegaming4510]

I used to watch him but had to quit when he started comparing Alien Isolation to Prey 2017 and Duskers

[@edward9487]

PLEASE DO NOT SHOUT "STRAWMANNING" INTO MY EARS, AGH, THAT SCARED ME ENOUGH TO HURT- but yeah, god, he's just strawmanning and complaining to complain and contradict consistently.

[@dominictrofa4156]

Great vid, my good friend 🙂👍. I think Mayo should change his name to Easy Mode with the amount of times he mentions it 😂🤣.

[@PsychonauticTherapy]

Under The Easy Mode.

[@MothFable]

Coming into this from his “based” takes on ultrakill his problem is thag he thinks games that aren’t doom eternal need to be doom eternal with no regard for the fact that the game is intentionally not doom eternal? So fucking annoying. Also seeing you play ror2(as a fellow loader main thag makes me happy) I was remembering how I was against command until a modded character description described how playing without command is just getting cucked by the game.

[@MTB396]

huh, i remember seeing his gow reviews surprised to see him fell off. from what i've seen, he seems to overlook into these games too much which in the end, he just contradict himself. he really needs to chill out.

[@ggwellplayed7201]

At the same time he tends to ignore certain mechanics and marks it as a "flaw" in design just because he isn't good at it.

[@ggwellplayed7201]

Oh excuse me i meant, he chose to not GET GOOD at it

[@BlondeMcGuinn]

Hey, I’m new to this Mayo stuff. I started watching him with Eternal and I liked his stuff. Then recently a Mayo contradictions video showed up in my feed and I watched it and it was great. 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!

[@PsychonauticTherapy]

I agree that all reviews are bias on some level. I think where we should draw the line is when that bias takes precedence over reviewing a game for what it is already, rather than what you want it to be. 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.

[@BlondeMcGuinn]

@@PsychonauticTherapy Fair enough, I see where you’re coming from.

[@luca7123]

I actually think easy mode did help me a lot, I was quite stuck at first, then the patch came. Played the hole game in easy, which helped me experience the entire game and the types of enemies, once I was done I went straight to normal and it went much, much better. Now I competed hard mode with the hat

[@ryanbhadain5867]

Contradiction is not the same as nuance, which is what intelligent people always have in their analysis and reflexions. Nuance is key to the truth. Nothing is black or white.

[@arcanumcoto]

Ohohoho i cant wait to see if he has any "takes" on elden ring that must be the absolute funniest shit lmfaoooo. This guy (mayo) is out there trying to make every game a shiddy ripoff of doom eternal.

[@Apathesis0]

Sifu looks more fun than Sekiro. I didn't have patience for the stealth in Sekiro and I sucked at the combat. But I recognized it was a well-made game.

[@agdala1591]

his whole ideology he pushees and maruader videos his so proud of makes this so much more ironic. you pretty much need to jut play the game and explore it somemore and im sure you can find material for video like this for most of them Honestly his ideas wwouldnt really work cause his living proof that you can just pretty much pass everythgin though trail an error even if youre doing everything wrong

[@grahamlawson402]

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.

[@masterwolf34]

This is 2 years old so I am super late to this party. But as someone who got sifu and did play it on easy mode. You can’t just mindlessly play one handed or button mash or not block even on easy mode they do punish you. I died so many time between the club and the museum. Due to different enemy types and having to learn how to block and parry and when to take down certain enemies.

[@viliamsneakman1508]

Honestly I'm fine with easy modes, I used to play games on easy when I was a kid but now I'm playing them on higher difficulies. Also I'm actually a newcomer to Resident Evil games and after I watched Mayo's video on RE3 remake I tried to play the original RE3 and RE2 but I didn't enjoy them at all to the point I doubt myself to play the remakes.

[@PsychonauticTherapy]

I have no problems with easy modes in general, my issue is with him advocating for handholding & an easy mode in a game where it didn't really belong essentially, and how that directly contradicts many of his other statements about games & challenge, and wanting more games that encourage skill through challenge. I don't think easy modes are pointless I just think their implementation & execution heavily matters in these kinds of discussions.

[@beetheimmortal]

His take on RE3make is honestly one of the few I agree with. They butchered that game.

Honestly the fact you covered his easy mode rant just shows how much mental capacity you have when criticizing him. When i saw his easy mode video on Sifu i knew for a fact that it was gonna be him being a hypocrite and him switching the goalpost. I've always said this about Mayo, outside of his Doom Eternal content he's insufferable to watch and the majority of the time he has laughable takes.

[@SoloGamer42]

I have watched under the Mayo a few times and while I don't really like how cynical he is on almost every game he reviews I don't think he's the worst video game reviewer out there. Cynical and not someone you want to base your entire opinion on if you want to get something or not but definitely not the worst. When I think of the worst KZbinrs I often think of KZbinrs that actively insult their community directly like DSP gaming does. The reason I don't trust his reviews all that much is because he's way too cynical and honestly I think he's harsh on the games that don't deserve it and not as harsh on the games that do does this mean that I hate him as a reviewer not really but he could be a little bit more open to different things. But he is definitely not the worst reviewer on KZbin not by a long shot.
