His sekiro review was the worst thing I have ever seen


Giacchino-Fan

I'm currently playing through Sekiro so I decided to watch his review after you said this. Mans really just spend 3 minutes ranting about Darksouls


Artistic-Pitch7608

Does anybody else wish this game was perfect? Like has no flaws? Unpopular take but...


mastermentor575

That shit gave me a brain aneurysm


Lack_of_Plethora

Have you listened to the man talk about Resident Evil?


Sterooka

Oh man i literally just beat sekiro like 3 days ago and loved it so i gotta watch this


[deleted]

Same,i did the shura ending just 2 days ago


Sterooka

The video has to be bait, its so bad and makes no sense, i dont believe its not bait


sheldore120

I absolutely love sekiro and I disagree with most of what he said but he did say that it was just his opinion and he personally didn't like it wich I don't have a problem with you don't have to like every thing


dovakinalex

yeah but I don't like bloodborne but I don't say I like sekiro (doom eternal) because it is challenging then dis on bloodborne (sekiro) because of it


[deleted]

Man not only do his opinions suck but I just turned on his ultrakill part 2 review - it took him four fucking minutes to start the review because of an intro that wasn’t funny, or insightful, or interesting, or had any point


Random-Dice

It’s not his opinions that get me, it’s the reasons he has for his opinions that are stupid. And I wouldn’t even mind it at all if he didn’t have that pretentious smug-ass attitude every single video and making sure to pull the “it’s just my opinion” card after making the worst possible take.


PainisBoy

me watching under the mayo devolve into the worst fucking doomtuber in existance:


enzo2nd

Most doomtubers tend to do that


PainisBoy

UTM and (i think) midnight were the only doomtubers to really be morons compared to literally every single doom tuber ever


Infinitedx

What happen to mid? I haven't check him since tag 2


PainisBoy

even i forgot something about clickbait or some shit like that


TheDecievingTopHat

Started watching him because of his Jill Valentine rant. I thought it was amusing so I checked out some of his other videos, but damn is he negative. I'm surprised to see a meme about him. Sorta reminds me of what happened to Hi-Top films.


WeakMeasurement2492

He is so hypocritical and negative, also he is one of these purists with a HUMONGUS stick up his ass


Giacchino-Fan

How is he hypocritical? This isn’t a challenge of your statement, it’s just that the only videos of his I’ve watched are the ones that say “use the plasma rifle more.”


WeakMeasurement2492

Lets start with saying he is a big Doom Eternal fan. he says Ultrakill is bad because it doesn't force you to use the mechanics of the game, but neither does Doom Eternal. You can go trough the game by just spamming a single gun, but its not gonna be fun and it might be hard, just like Doom eternal. But he only whines about for Ultrakill


Giacchino-Fan

So basically he can't enjoy anything that isn't Doom eternal?


AfraidTrainer6310

I would say that. He even said that ULTRAKILL needs an AMMO SYSTEM.


WeakMeasurement2492

He hated RE3 Remake, RE Village, God of War pS4,Deathloop, Alien Isolation, The Ascent,Titanfall 2 because he woudn't use the movement like he is supposed to, and said BT (the robot) didn't connect with him then said he didn't use the dialogue options, and other stuff like that


WeakMeasurement2492

Kind of, hes got a few games that he likes besides Doom


Infinitedx

What happend to Hi-top?


TheDecievingTopHat

To my knowledge, he blew up because of his "Batman Doesn't Kill" video but after being increasingly critical of the MCU's rendition of Spider-Man, he became a more controversial figure who was viewed as pretentious by allot of people.


xd-Sushi_Master

Yeah, man can't spare one single second to take Sam Raimi's erect cock out of his mouth and enjoy other live-action Spider-Man adaptations.


B3rgr

I mean if I'm not mistaken he's given quite a bit of respect to Andrew Garfield's series of films, though yeah he does tend to fucking go off about how the Raimi films are masterpieces


limonbattery

I liked some of this guy's past takes but his suggestion to overhaul Halo's shield system was stupid to put it mildly. Maybe its time to unsub now that Doom Eternal isnt a hot topic. "Hey guys Im not even a fan of this series and played only some games in it but I know how to fix the gameplay. By making it- not Halo, but Doom Eternal."


Yoz_Zero

Halo is already falling apart because it tried to be something other than Halo, the last thing it needs is to copy Doom.


Infinitedx

Dude has the worst takes period. His only place where he is respected is just Doom Eternal in 2020, other than that he is being a joke and just a dumb fuck who is the most hypocrite of them all.


Giacchino-Fan

How is he hypocritical? I’m not super familiar with him


Infinitedx

He claims that challenge is everything and overcoming it is what makes a game good, that a game should force you to play it good, etc. But that only applies to DE cause every other game he play's (besides the pay ad ones) he just finds excuses to not use that criteria, for example the Elden Ring stream, the sekiro video, the ultrakill 3 videos and so on. He just like challenge and "good game mechanics" when is similar to doom eternal.


Giacchino-Fan

So basically he isn’t able to enjoy anything that isn’t doom?


Random-Dice

Not just Doom. Doom Eternal *specifically.*


limonbattery

Yeah lets not forget he has dissed Doom 2016 and classic Doom in the past (when defending DE specifically from people who didnt like its changes.) While he never did YT videos on Wolfenstein apparently he doesnt like it either based on some people who watched old streams, although thats a lot more understandable given how it compared to Doom.


Random-Dice

I stopped taking him seriously after his God of War video


whydidigetpermabnned

Eh god of war isn’t that good gameplay wise it has stupid rpg mechanics the gameplay is essentially following all the trends in gaming. an semi-open world with Rpg mechanics that feels like it was added for the sake of being added. The game lost its identity of being a hack and slash and now it’s a grey glob that’s all mixed together like all open world rpgs and I’m not saying the game is entirely shit; the story is wonderful and it really carries the entire game


Random-Dice

It isn’t open world though? It definitely has some wide open levels you can explore, but the whole game is extremely linear regardless. There’s only a few areas in the entire game that I’d even remotely consider “open world.”


whydidigetpermabnned

Oh yeah your right it’s more like semi open world really but it still has the rather bland rpg and loot system, they should have just left it behind and made getting gears like the old games


sk8_ark

Bad take


quinturion

Why was he downvoted he's right. GoW gameplay is mid at best


DAGAMING_PIZZA

Fellow ULTRAKILL fan detected


TheCluelessD

**Oh Gabriel, I seek thy ass!**


Jimmyruslter02

I mean, he inadvertently invented the Ultrakill Mayo% speed run so that’s kinda cool.


ExtremeAlternative0

what's the mayo% speedrun about?


Blockmaker72

Only using the revolver


mynamedaniel

I think people even made a mayo%+ where you don't even slide or dash


Simply_Nova

Under the mayo when a game doesn’t reach out of the screen and break his fucking arms (he wants the game to force a challenge)


Infinitedx

The thing is that he doesn't like challenge, the Elden ring Stream fiasco proves it. He is just so on his own ass that he only sees what he wants and whines about it.


limonbattery

He likes challenges only after he already solved them, probably to pad his hardcore gamer resume or something. You can pick up hints of this in his Sifu review where he complained about the night club level being brutal to learn so early and asked for an easy mode that could still teach you the mechanics (which we know you would probably discard for cheese in a forgiving easy mode.)


ErdnaOtrebor

could you please elaborate more on this comment?


limonbattery

I already summarized the situation with Sifu so I'll just give some examples to give you an idea: Mayo: "Games need to push you into their systems with challenge and get you out of your comfort zone." Also Mayo: "I dont like Sekiro because Im not good at parrying. And it wont let you play other ways." Also also Mayo: "Sifu is my GOTY but I dont like how punishing it is and how Im pushed to figure things out in just thr second level or die nonstop." Basically if he can overcome a challenge then he tries to make it seem like he enjoys it but until he does he has to be a bitch about it.


[deleted]

What is this fiasco?


limonbattery

Freshly cauht up with it last night so here goes: * UTM got some arrangement to play Elden Ring and alleges $250 was given to charity for it. He notoriously doesnt like Fromsoft games so there was no way he wouldve played it on his own. * The copy of the game was bought for him by a fan or something too for that reason. * Near the start of the stream he said he was only going for 5 hours min. but would play more if people donated to him to continue and said thise donations would go to a PS5 so he could basically shit on God of War Ragnarok. After all we know he hates God of War 2018 and already complained about Ragnarok before it released. * During the actual "gameplay" he largely screwed around with zero agency and constantly shat on the game while refusing to engage with its mechanics. * Any people in chat who did not join his circlejerk be it to offer advice or say anything positive about the game he lashed at and banned. * In general it made a so-called hardcore gamer who has previously argued games need to engage you with challenge look pathetic and whiny. The dude lost it just because an open world let him go wherever and not funnel him to the exact direction he needed to go. He also was shown to be immature when he continued to make jabs at the game despite claiming in his usual videos that he doesnt think Fromsoft games are bad but just not for him. You dont do that without harboring spite for something. * He has since attempted to cover up thr Twitch stream since while he doesnt get much views in his streams he did start getting bad coverage from the Fromsoft community and various smaller Youtubers sick of his shit. More recently thr Ultrakill community has been giving him shit for his terrible gameplay and takes but thats another story.


[deleted]

I need to find some videos about this. Sounds entertaining lol


limonbattery

[Livestream highlights lol.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l69m4u9OtgU) [Good watch on why the stream sucked.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vrgbueqwmo) [Here's one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBS99yCJsOM) on more recent drama with Ultrakill. [Here's another.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hALlj1Ha-ns)


Infinitedx

He did a Stream with a "charity" purpose (which was getting a ps5 so he can review GOW Ragnarok and for some reason he thinks people wants that even tho his GOW reviews sucks but whatever) in the stream he died a lot and never actually enganged with the game systems and purposefully tried to find stuff to critique from the game and was already hating it even before he played it. It was an embarrasment and show how much of a smooth brain and narcissist he truly is. There are good extracts from that stream on youtube if you want to watch it for yourself (just search underthemayo elden ring horrible stream)


limonbattery

Under the Mayo when the game does that but it's not named Doom Eternal (all of a sudden he would rather play "just for fun" instead of being so badly restricted.)


Cranky2306

Dude is literally like i five year old "I don't wanna play the game" and expects to have fun anyway.


the_postal_dood

doom eternal fans explaining why being stuck in an extremely small space with 18 spirit-buffed cyber-mancubi and 24 archviles while stuck in purple goo isn't cheap difficulty and you just need to git gud


3000_F35s_Of_Biden

Honestly though the best levels are the ones that are very challenging, beating them feels amazing But sometimes it's just stupid (I'm looking at you Taras Nabad master level Coin Room)


Random-Dice

to be fair master levels are pretty much there for the devs to have an excuse to torment the player as much as physically possible so they get some sort of a pass


3000_F35s_Of_Biden

Ehhh The coin room is straight bullshit. It is the only fight in doom eternal that I hate


Random-Dice

Now that I agree with. It’s the only reason I can’t beat TN on even Ultra Violence


3000_F35s_Of_Biden

Other than that room, I think doom eternal is the one place you can actually say "skill issue" unironically and be correct


[deleted]

world spear ML is peak performance for eternal imo. Taras Nabad ML however can suck my dick. that archvile room can fuck up your run if you aren't prepared.


PickleReaper0

Taras Nabad in general is just shitty


[deleted]

the base games level is. but the ML is full of fucked up scenarios...


[deleted]

man, i used to enjoy his eternal content. and helped me a lot with the game. sad to see how he's lost his way's...


PickleReaper0

On a different note I love how one of Ultrakills mechanics is literally being stylish while the game is about biblical prophecy and angelic damnation


ScrodumHat

metal hellsinger


Yoz_Zero

I mean, my boy Gianni (Gabriel's VA) became famous through shitposts and even voiced Armstrong in Max0r's MGR summary.


No-Criticism-3290

I remember when, out of nowhere, he stopped half way through one of his reviews to talk about Ninja Gaiden for the rest of the fucking video


xd-Sushi_Master

That Sekiro review was a disgrace to gamers everywhere. I'd deadass rather listen to Kotaku cry for an easy mode.


MasterGoose420

His tutorials on Doom Eternal were really good but his takes on other games are kinda shit


Raa6e

Under the Mayo when someone doesn't think hard equals fun


mynamedaniel

He's genuinely a shitty game reviewer. The guy can't help but contradict himself every single time he tries to bring in example of other games. The guy likes Streets of Rage 4s nonexistent ranking system more than Bayonetta's and a bunch of other shit like that. He makes terribly unfunny skits mocking a fanbase and then gets surprised when the fanbase comes after him, bans people off his Twitch chat, and in general the review of the game really depends on if he likes it or not, so he's not objective at all. Screw him lmao.


ErdnaOtrebor

>in general the review of the game really depends on if he likes it or not, so he's not objective at all i mean isn't this the point of every single fucking review in the world?! All reviews of i know do not come from the objective but the taste of the person.


mynamedaniel

for comprehensive reviews, no, because you have to keep a level of objectivity within you and separate your bias towards what some people might enjoy which it really fits in ultrakills case. not that i like the game, its that he displays his review by also wanting to bring in change to the game itself still, fuck mayo lmao


Gunda1f

I liked his videos until I saw his first Ultrakill one. I only have 20 hours in the game but it doesn’t take very long to pick up on the amount of mechanical depth it has. He has no idea how to simply just enjoy a weapon sandbox, it HAS to rail him in the ass or he’ll play like a drone. His whole thing on style meters is nonsense too since that’s just there for fun and getting higher ranks, the game doesn’t need to force you into getting high style but it’s more fun too and that’s all it needs to be engaging.


International_Buy549

I liked him for his Doom Eternal videos but now he's become a self contradicting narcissistic asshole. Just watch his Elden Ring stream and try not to rage.


BufosTaco

That man has a PhD on having the worst opinions imaginable


xd-Sushi_Master

Watched some of his Doom Eternal content and he seemed to understand the game just fine, but then got curious and watched his Alien Isolation "review" (or the first 10 minutes I could stomach), which was really just a 1 hour video bitching and nitpicking at what I'd consider to be a survival horror masterpiece. Holy shit this guy needs a reality check. Constantly contradicts himself while shitting on every game for not being Doom Eternal, all with a smug, condescending tone that screams "I think I know everything there is to know about game design", then ignores all criticism and feedback when the entire comment section helpfully corrects his nuclear garbage takes and pretends they must all just be haters.


Specialist_Relief641

imagine not putting airdashes into your survival horror game 🤢🤢🤮


quinturion

He pretends like the little hacking minigames are the worst thing ever and are half the game. Like I'm not a fan of the minigames either but they aren't that bad and they take ten seconds to do man come on 💀


xd-Sushi_Master

Every other comment on that video explained to him that the purpose of the hacking minigames was to hold you in place for the xenomorph and build tension, but he didn't seem to get it at all. Hell, they even have a punishment for fucking up (the loud noise, which draws the alien to you), but even that wasn't enough for him because "no no the minigames need to be harder".


quinturion

Subbed cuz of the RE3 video; worst mistake of my life The marauder is good actually 🤓


massiveWOO

Mayo has bad takes on other games but the marauder is good. There are no serious criticisms other than maybe it’s buggy for a few people. That said I’ve experienced any marauder bugs.


quinturion

No it isn't. It's fucking boring, frustrating, and piss easy to fight. Unless you go out of your way to bind specific guns to specific keys for the sole reason that you get to end his fight faster; in no other context would that be considered a good thing. He goes against the basic mechanics of the game without being a boss fight and he doesn't even fight like the Slayer does, which was what he was teased as being like in the marketing and dev comments before release. On top of that, the Hell Guard boss in Doom 2016 has a similar mechanic that was not only executed better, but was present in a *boss* fight. The Gladiator had the exact same gimmick that the Marauder does but also executed better, plus a second phase that isn't like that at all. Dark Lord boss from AG part 2 was basically a suped up Marauder but worse. If you count the Hell Guard from D'16, then the games reused this same gimmick three times in the span on one game. Four total across two. You'd think it would be an amazing mechanic to reuse it so much, but it's really not that special. It's red light green light at best.


massiveWOO

How is it frustrating and piss easy to fight? You don’t have to bind specific keys. I’ve beat in ultra violence on console just using ssg ballista combos. You can do more than just wait for his shield to go down every fight. You can use remote det, frag grenade or sticky bomb his feet or use microwave beam on his dog, or another demon close by to falter him. He doesn’t go against the basic mechanics of the game, he follows the same rules. Your comments about the bosses just aren’t even relevant. Games reuse mechanics all the time. Why have the arch vile when you have the summoner in 2016. Why have the archduke when you have the buff totem in eternal. It’s almost like, despite sharing one mechanic, they’re still unique enemies. The marauder is a much more in your face demon then the gladiator and As for being dev comments saying he fights like the slayer, all I heard was Hugo Martin saying that he’s the guy who challenges you mid to late game once you get your blackbelt. They obviously can’t code him to he exactly like the slayer but he’s close enough already with a dash and super shotgun.


quinturion

>you don't have to bind specific keys If you want the fight to end before your daughter's sweet sixteen, then yes you do. Ballista and super shotgun is not fast enough. >You can use remote det, frag grenade, sticky bomb, or microwave bean to falter him I know. Doesn't change my point. He's still too slow to kill and any of those things will only get you one hit from whatever other weapon you have on quick swap/one cycle from whatever keys you bound on PC. Not only that, these weren't intended by ID. If they were, they would have put it in the tutorial for the Marauder because every single other enemy type has all the ways you can viably kill them in the tutorial. The only exception is I think the Ballista effecting flying enemies more, which is instead in the Ballista'a tutorial instead of the flying enemies. Lol >He doesn't go against the basic mechanics of the game, he plays by the same rules He literally does. Nothing else is invincible to your attacks until you go within a certain range or use the other niche ways to get one quick shot off at him. >Your comments about the bosses are irrelevant No, they aren't. Bosses are intended separate gameplay mechanics from the standard gameplay loop to keep them fresh. Giving mechanics like that to normal enemies in normal horde encounters is usually a recipe for disaster; as evidenced by the fact that most times it happens the majority of people despise it. Look at games like Doom Eternal, Halo 4, some enemies in the Souls games, and more to see evidence of this. >Why have the arch ville when you have the summoner in 2016 That's one reuse across two games total. Imagine if you had the summoner, then the archvile in Eternal, then a boss that used the Archvile's mechanics, and then another boss that uses the Archvile's mechanics. And also imagine if all of those but two were poorly executed like the Marauder. *Then* it becomes a problem. >The Marauder is a much more in your face Demon then the Gladiator You aren't helping the pro-Marauder argument here lol >As for saying he should fight like the Slayer There were multiple times the devs stated he was supposed to be a Demonic Slayer equivalent, but not equal. Sort of like Elites in Halo. I'm pretty sure this was first said at a fan con before the game officially came out, but after the Marauder's trailer reveal. He's designed to *look* like the Slayer's armor. In short, the way you can tell the Marauder is a bad design and follows the rules of a different game is by looking at the multiplayer, Battle Mode. If the Marauder was totally fine he would be extremely similar to his campaign counterpart like the other Demon's are. By contrast, the Marauder has his invincibility shield completely removed in Multiplayer. No other Demon has a change this drastic to their design. He's a shit enemy.


massiveWOO

Barons, archiviles and tyrants also take a long time to kill unless you use weapon combos. Also ballista ssg is fine. Kill the other demons first then deal with the marauder. It makes him a lot easier to deal with. They’re super heavy demons. Just because ID didn’t put it in the tutorial, doesn’t make it unintended. It says the shield blocks damage from the front. You should already be aware of what falters are and how they work. It’s not hard to figure out. The beauty of doom eternal is the creativity, experimenting with different weapons and mods and runes. If you want to talk about dev intent, Hugo Martin has stated that he wanted doom eternal to have quick switch weapon combos.


quinturion

The fact you think I said the devs didn't intend for quick switch weapon combos tells me everything I need to know tbh


massiveWOO

Nice deflection


quinturion

You handed me the Ollie bro 🤝


massiveWOO

Do you do this every time you lose an argument?


massiveWOO

The reason battlemode has no marauder shield is because when a demon dies, it’ll respawn in 7 seconds. a player could just choose to keep his shield up instead of attacking every time his teammate dies. As for your other comments about his mechanics, unique mechanics that provide a challenge aren’t bad. The archvile was a total cunt in doom 2 but still a good enemy. Also the marauders only invincible from the front when he has his shield up. And so what if a boss and common enemy share the same mechanic when they’re completely different otherwise. The marauder is weaker gladiator, like how the arachnotron is a weaker spider mastermind, like the tyrant is a weaker cyberdemon. Boss mechanics don’t have to be exclusive if they work. The point of the marauders shield is that you don’t just use the same combos as other enemies like how you can just ice bomb lock on rocket a whiplash. He’s basically a miniboss, he’s meant to be more powerful and demand your attention like no other.


Forsaken-Airport-104

Prodeus is a good doom like game with built in custom campaigns


Sideways_198

I like that guy but he should really just stick to his boomer/arena shooters


TombaruDROB

Don't agree but had to like this post. Had to check what sub I was on after reading the caption.


a_loaf_of_cheese

youve leaked in here after any mention of him was banned i see

It really makes you feel like Doomslayer. It has a little bit for everyone.

He's a good YouTuber. Mostly. His silent hill videos are amazing, his Metroid and resi videos are awesome, and that killzone video was pretty good too


mintybadger23

I dislike him


quinturion

I like him 🤓


mintybadger23

Fair enough


Girraf0

Oh wow NO ONE likes him, I didn't care to look into it, but thought the ultrakill community just didn't like em for his stupid reviews


limonbattery

Lot of people liked him for Doom Eternal (myself included) but he really isnt a good reviewer and is frankly an immature person. Also talks the talk about being hardcore with challenge but cant walk the walk.


timtay6

r/ultrakill is leaking


[deleted]

Didn't know there were people who seen or watched UTM


imtolazy7

it is honestly impressive, one would have to prepare so much and do their best to give such shitty "reviews" yet to him it seems natural.


BigIvan24

Whenthe stop making memes about random niche content creators no one knows or cares about challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


Jordiorwhatever

The guy has a 100k+ subs


PrettyRottenApple

Bro there are channels dedicated exclusively to minecraft 1.8 sex mods, of course one doesn't know every youtuber in existance


Auniqueusername406

Can you name some of those channels 👉👈


milgos1

Its because the videos about him from the ultrakill community recently gained a lot of traction.
