"I wasn't gonna mention doom" lol

I'm proud of you Mayo, 3:51 without referencing Doom Eternal.

You should definitely play *insert random game you haven't heard of before or played it already*. You'll like it for sure.

UnderTheMayo reviews (name of game): "I enjoyed it, but it wasn't challenging enough." *end of review* I'm kidding. 😂 Great stuff.

Another great video, Mayo. I will say, though, that the cybervoid did teach me one really useful skill by locking me out of my other movement options - the slide jump. Using slide and then immediately jumping gives you a boost of speed. Then, when outside the cybervoid, I figured I could integrate a dash into it too for incredibly long jumps and amazing speed. Obviously it wasn't intentional though, unfortunately. Personally, Ghostrunner is one of my favourite games of the year, but your critiques also make perfect sense to me.

This feels like one of those games where if it ever gets a sequel it has the potential of being a total bop. It has a really sound base and most of the problems are stuff that a sequel could totally fix and improve. Let's hope it gets the chance that Metal Gear Rising never got

Honestly, playing nightmare Doom Eternal made this game way, way easier than if I had not done it. That game taught me so many skills. Good points on the cybervoid parts. They feel like the indie equivapent of un-skipable cutscenes.

So it looks like Under The Mayo is becoming another TheGamingBrit where he tries other awesome action games and viewers place bets on how long before he mentions his favorite series. In GamingBrit's case it's Devil May Cry, in Mayo's case it's Doom.

The way the told the story was perfect for a game like this, wtf? 😂 You don't have to stop, the fast paced gameplay just continues all the time.

7:35 - * stares Samuel Haydenly *

3:46 for those looking for the memes

If you're into synthwave the soundtrack made by Daniel Deluxe is a must have

i can guarantee you won't be able to go 30 seconds without talking about doom eternal if you play ULTRAKILL

Let's be real though, is anyone in your audience actually worried about dying too much in a game?

The lazer boss took me 17 min and 110 deaths but it was honestly a rush the whole time. The biggest 'git gud' moment I've seen in a game in a while

Just imagine that in Doom Eternal, sections between arenas would be like in ghostrunner. You just walk through the worlds once filled with life, now drenched in blood, watching what the demons are doing on the captured planets, while listening to VEGA or Hayden. No Mario platforming, no yellow pipes, no stupid flying chains in the middle noreasons. Just good old gloom fear and desperation. Gorgeous.

I personally think you'd really enjoy Ultrakill. Gameplay is very fast, the guns all feel great to use with very creative and unique alternate fire modes and interplay across each other, there's also a lot of tech if you choose to get really into it. The game very much favors creative and precise gameplay with a style system that further rewards you for constantly swapping weapons, air time, evasion etc with a very neat way to heal that requires you to essentially Gib enemies at point blank to cover yourself in their blood. Also has a stellar soundtrack that very much gets you in the mood for the gameplay the same way Doom Eternal's OST does

now it's time to play the underdog, "Tetris"

Oh, so it's Genji: The Game.

I never told you to play this what

I think the story was delivered perfectly. If it was done any other way it would have slowed the game down, but the way they have done it makes it still fun just to get exposition as you’re still doing fight and at times really fun platforming sections

You mention doom like how the gamingbrit mentions devil may cry i love it lol

>people talking to you constantly as you're playing This trend needs to die.

under the mayo as a kid: "everyone told me to play tag. gameplay wise it is very similar to doom eternal."

Good news, they announced a sequel for this game, excited to see what they do!

I'm at like, the 3rd level and didn't even know you could hold on to the airdash to slow time ☠️.

But compating ghostrunner straight with doom eternal is a bit harsh since ID is a legendary triple a company. But yeah i know people gonna compare ghostrunner to doom just to trigger you. But anyway- another dope vid. Great work thx

>Mayo Marauder Did you know that making mayonnaise takes a lot of time and suffering? You have to get 5 egg yolks and a mixture of 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp water, 1 tbsp vinegar, and 1 tsp dry mustard. Crack 5 eggs and take out the yolks. Put them in a bowl and throw away the rest of the egg. Mix all the other ingredients EXCEPT for the eggs and 4 cups of oil, then you make a double broiler and put only about a teaspoon of the vinegar mixture in the egg bowl before constantly whisking for until it gets thick and white-yellow (6 minutes) if you stop, it could reverse the process. You then make a towel nest and Slowly mix in the rest of the vinegar mix. Now you mix in the oil, but you have to do it slowly or the egg and oil will split and you’ll have to redo the whole thing. While mixing constantly so it doesn’t come apart (another 4 minutes) If you succeed, you get mayonnaise. Mayo Marauder sounds like double suffering.

"I wont reference doom" Then starts to talk about how doom eternal's parkour system works.

I just 100%ed it yesterday. I gotta say playing the levels for the first time, the cybervoid was't half bad. I was a fan of most of the puzzles tho. But playing through levels again to get all collectables and achivements it becomes increadibly frustrating to have to do them again. There is nothing to gain from going to the cybervoid twice. No achivements at all, you already know to puzzles and have been using the abilitys you're being tought for hours. This game needs a New Game+ without the cybervoid.

Dude for a AA game, this was an amazing game and I loved it! I do agree with you about the cybervoid levels though, the do kill the pacing and yes, the players abilities and platforms could have been stitched in a better manner to deliver a better experience. One thing I felt was that the colour palette was overwhelming at times and it gave me a headache over longer play sessions. They could have muted the colours in some levels and this would still be a great game. The enemy variety is brilliant. I can’t wait to try out NG plus because it has offers a more challenging configuration of enemies and revised platform of to make things even more challenging. This should address your concerns about the game not being challenging enough in the first half of the play through. The music and instant respawns kept me coming back and did not break my immersion, and this I feel is a lesson that many souls like games need to learn. It made the game challenging unlike souls likes which I find unforgivably frustrating. That being said, a sequel has been announced and I just can’t wait for it.

Played through this game many many times by now and I wish there was a hardcore mode or something, also it would be awesome if I didn’t have to go through cyber void every time I replay it, just let me go level through level swiftly. All in all awesome game.

have you played hollow knight? the platforming is amazing and the bosses are very fun to fight

in my opinion titanfalls movement was way smoother combined with the slide

man I had no idea some people like Doom Eternal's platforming parts!!!

This channel grew fast, i love your content. glad you're getting recognition.

the music in this game is gorgeous

never stop talking about doom

I'd love another vid on titanfall 2 but with a focus on speed running and advanced movement as I feel that is where the game really shines.

Honestly after playing ghostrunner for like 3 hours myself I think that besides the combat(which is fukin amazing), the cybervoid ain't as bad as you made it out to be. Sure there's not any action going on, but u can listen to the dialogue in the background which can be interesting and also it contributes to the story because you use the cybervoid to fix yourself (ghostrunners software) and you also fix some stuff in the tower. Edit: Game is an easy 8/10 imo

They Added a hardcore Mode and some Master Level type Thing where you Play against the time. Its even mor difficult

7:15 He has a katana, great martial arts skills and they call him Jack? Next game they will probably send him on quest for a time portal.

My only gripe is that you didnt mention the unlockable difficulty. not only does it include advanced enemies early on, it allso makes the fighting rooms more different. btw it allso mutes dialogue and removes cybervoid segments

Play "Cyberhook", plz. It looks similar, but It has more intersting maps and more freedom to make your own way.

If you haven’t played either, I suggest Jedi Fallen order or Sekiro, both games have a similar combat mechanics.

I'm glad Mayo has something he really likes in Doom Eternal, I wish I could find a game like that for me. I do hope this game gets a sequel though.

*I Hate Doom Eternal Platforming* Same Dude: GhOstrUNNer iS mY GOTY

This game was basically Shinobi for the PS2, but in a first person view. From the escalating difficulty, dashing and wall running mixed into combat, up to the final levels demanding some mastery of the mechanics to complete. Though Shinobi could be said to be a bit harder.

Not to mention most platforming in Doom Eternal is designed in a way that lets you bypass a good portion of it and the rest is extremely easy to just rush through in a matter of seconds once you know what you're doing.

I think this game was very stylistic orientated, with all the techno visuals, music and slow motion maneuvers.

Probably been said before but since I didn't see it in the video I'll say it. You can kill enemies with their own bullets by deflecting them

This game should be playable on an arcade machine in Cyberpunk 2077

I’d love to hear your thoughts on silent hill 2 or any of the first 3 games. Mostly so you could comment on how to make the boss battles better

It was a pleasant surprise for me. The game can be wonky with the wall running, but other than that, I liked it a lot. Nice to see that you gave it a shot

I loved this game, finished it in 2 nights, got all the collectibles too.

I’m convinced he just hates having any sort of story. He’s gonna hate TDA

I played this game to prepared for Doom Eternal. I think it worked.

Watch out eternal Cyberpunk is coming

Yo you need to check out a game called ULTRAKILL if you haven’t already, I have a feeling you’ll fucking love it

Honestly I don't get why people get so mad when you mention doom eternal Honestly I don't mind because what you bring up makes sense at Least to me

Man I hope you get to play ghostrunner 2 and make a video about it since most of these issues that you mentioned are gone in GR2 although I have a feeling you'll have other little problems with the sequel but still I'm sure it'll be a great experience for you😄

man I played the demo of this and fell in love. and only today I discovered the score was made by Daniël Deluxe who'se music I adore. almost feels like this game was just made for me

Well this is an improvement. Hope this is an expansion of your pallete and a note for the future

I was lucky enough to get a new copy of this game for the Nintendo switch at gamestop for $25 U.S. dollars. The graphics, future narrative and combat are cool

It also has a really neat leaderboards, I saw his death count at the end of each level, and it pushed me to get better scores and better times. I waa hoping I'd find what was under the mayo.

Try ultrakill next, the name is a little tacky but the gameplay seems right up your ally

Finally a mayo vid where he doesn’t dickride doom eternal. Great to see you giving ghost runner a great review

Dani Viewers: *K A R L S O N V I B E Intensifies*

When I found out that you don't have guns, I checked out then went back to Titanfall 2 I guess I'll wait for Shadow Warrior 3

How can you possibly say that ghostrunner's movement design was better than titanfall 2? Ok a bit of a fan boy comment but let's look at how the system works in each game: Titanfall 2 wallrun to gain speed make it short to gain more speed you have complete control on where to go during wallruns and moving up or down, or slow down if you want slidehope to preserve speed (in case you touch the ground for a moment or two) grapple to launch yourself and become spiderman (only MP though), can be used on any point on the map, complete direction control Ghostrunner wallrun gains speed how long you wallrun doesn't change your speed wallrun is automatic, does everything for you if you don't press anything slidehope to move faster on ground (just like Titanfall, ground in not really necessiry) grapple is restricted to certain locations and brings you to a set speed value (depends on where you stop it) regardless of your previous speed, limited direction control dash to push yourself a few meters to any directions, a speedkiller The movement in ghostrunner is good, and feels completly natural in the combat flow, but also completly necessery In Titanfall 2 the movement in the singleplayer isn't a must have in a lower difficulties, but both in multiplayer and in singleplayer movement is well integrated and becomes a second nature. Both games encourage you to gain as much speed as you can to perfrom better in combat, but Titanfall doesn't put any brakes in your way (makes it a challenge on its own), while Ghostrunner's system has a few that you need to manouver around and turn to your favour. While both games expect accurate and smart desicions during high speed combat, Titanfall's design doesn't condesend itself while ghostrunner's does, which makes Titanfall's movement design better. Nothing here is to say that Ghostrunner movement design is bad, just like any other game (including titanfall) it has its own flaws, but it was super fun to play and felt great to learn and control it, the combat was also great, and the first boss was just amazing, it had the impact a boss should have in a game and was a true challenge, I think it's the level I died most on. To conclude, Ghostrunner is great, don't shit on titanfall before you truelly learned it (personal taste is a factor and not everyone would like it, but you should understand something before you shit or praise it), but just like how Mauraders are a wonderfull addition to Doom, so is Titanfall 2's movement design to gaming Oh wait I think I talked about a single unimportant line instead of commenting on what you actualy talked about Well, it was pretty nice

I felt like titan fall 2's movement was perfect.. :( I love that game so I'm a bit biased..

I was just gonna recommend it to you when I saw your vid, awesome!

i died well over 500 times in the final level but man was it a good game

You mentioned the edge boosting in the end. There are lots of speedruning technices like this in TF2 too. A youtuber named Bryonato has great guides on all the really advanced ones like forced end boosts or tap strayfing. Could you revisit those or mention them somehow? I would really like to see you speedrun the campaign of it. Great Video. Keep it up!

I'd have to disagree with the boss fight against Hel. It took me a while to figure it out honestly. I realized you had to parry her, but you have to time it perfectly or else it resets her (shield?) health. Granted, it would be more awesome if they incorporated her dashing around you more, but on its own it was really satisfying to me once I got the timing down and could parry her however many times in a row and then attack. It was honestly my favorite fight in the entire game.

I love titanfall 2 movement Bhopping everywhere going lightning fast

Ghostrunner is my second favourite video game of all time behind Doom Eternal. Can anyone recommend a similar game to it ? I tried Severed Steel but the movement seemed strange and imprecise to me in that game. I'd like another super fast high octane game with precise controls where you kill enemies but I can't find anything else like it.

you know? not every game has to be doom eternal. Ghostrunner tried some things differently than the former. and that's fine

Am I only one who does not care about spoilers? Especially in games like this where gameplay is highlight?

I really hope everyone tells him to play Pathologic.

Did you see the hardcore mode that was added? What are your thoughts on it?

U think some parts of the game is slow but u have only scratched the surface of the core movement like clide hopping ( while walking press ctrl+space to get movement when done this at the end of a platform get insane boost)

Do not compare the movement combat connection between ghostrunner and titanfall2

I do not think you comparing an aspect of a game to Doom Eternal is a negative quality; you said in another video that you play very few games and tend to stick to a few selection of games that you think are satisfying to play. I think this is a positive quality about you. The viewer has a very clear understanding of what your preferences are and what games you enjoy/do not enjoy; thus your reviews/commentary are more sincere and address specific elements of a game that are important to you. This is good for the viewer if they (me, in this instance) have the same preferances as you, since they can know which games to play/not to play.

Why do people think there should be or is a reason to why a person prefers a certain game or mechanism over another?

I think the vr levels are something for you to do as you listen to the story

Have you ever played RUINER? It's a fucking great game, at least, for me. Hehehe.

so the ninjas are the less annoying marauders of ghostrunner? cool, i

If you're looking for more fast paced action games, I recommend Nex Machina and Bayonetta.

The game was fun but I shouldn't have paid full price for it. I did so because the demo was very promising and I expected it to be a game I'd play a fair few times before I'm satisfied. However, I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected and I don't see myself playing it again. The game's really fun in the good bits but there's a lot dragging it down for me. The biggest ones for me was some of the enemies and the final platforming area. The only enemies I didn't care for were the kamikaze enemies; you can't hurt them with conventional attacks and they take too long to blow up by themselves. I can bare with that, what I can not bare with is the sound they make, I'm very sensitive to sounds I don't like and they fit the bill perfectly. I couldn't turn the sounds off for obvious reasons and I think that is one of the biggest reasons they absolutely infuriate me. The bosses like you said are meh that's about it. The final area would've been good, however, for whatever reason, the framerate absolutely bombs in the cyberspace or whatever it's called. I was getting an easy 144fps in the normal sections so trying to do tight platforming with what felt like 30 was torture. I don't know if anyone else had this issue. The game's really fun but the later parts just left a sour taste.

I'm not gonna lie i just liked the voice of the architect so i kept him around

I suggest a game called Project Nexus. It's not fully out yet but there's a playable demo on steam and I think it has a lot of potential

Take a shot every time Mayo mentions Doom Eternal or compares a game to Doom Eternal. See you guys to the ER.

"platforming is solid" sad part is, ghostrunner has by far the best platforming of any first person game, period. The game just does nothing to show/ teach you the more advanced stuff. I hate cybervoid too, but it becomes actually fun if you know how to slide hop which, again, the game and the marketing do absolutely nothing to teach you. I agree totally about the story, it's ass. They should've scrapped cybervoid entirely in favour of some actual storytelling. This game is honestly incredible as a speedrunning game, but if you're only using your movements separately, the way the game encourages you to do, it's nowhere near as fun.

When this came out before Cyberpunk, I thought this is a good niece game complementing the cyberpunk style hype, but after that failed Cyberpunk launch, this is the only game that can ease the hunger.

Doom eternal if the main character switched to Genji and the setting changed to cyberpunk lmao

i totally agree about the cybervoid. they should have thrown in some unique cybervoid enemies and some more challenging platforming. its irritating but at least its few and far between.

May I recommend you to try out Temporal Assassin - single-player mod for Gmod which feels like a standalone game. Features aggressive combat with high mobility, a plethora of weapons from different games, replayability and ways to alter your gameplay one way or another

I loved this game, and I agree with all the flaws you mentioned. I’m glad I’m not the only one who just didn’t care about the story. I also hate the hologram platforming sections, they could just be taken out and the game would be objectively better. I hope the studio improves with their next game.
