Man, RIP to Maz’s wife Korinne. That was a really sad superchat.
Sad to hear she lost her battle. To Maz, remember all the good times you had together, as long as you keep her memory alive she’ll always be with you. As Mauler said, “an obligatory FUCK CANCER.”
Keep your head up king.
Two of the bravest souls in our lil community, God bless ya Maz. Wish him nothing but good tidings ahead
Whose Maz ?

Cancer is such a cunt.
I hope that guy’s doing okay. Dropping $500 on a super chat feels like a final gesture.
I hope so too. I have dropped a couple hundred on a superchat because i like supporting creators but am too lazy to donate more often than every other year or so
Moviebob sympathizing with the dictatorial theocratic caste-based empire over the egalitarian meritocratic paramilitary organization makes so much sense in hindsight
Regrettably I did watch Movie Robert way back in the day (make fun of me, i deserve it). That Halo video/Magneto video showed me unequivocally what a nutjob he was
@@scottski02It's not your fault. Before he lost his mind, he used to be fun to watch. I used to watch him when he was on the Escapist. He's gone downhill like an avalanche.
he was never good and you two should stop commiserating @@hope-cat4894
He sounds like the kind of guy who wants Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran to win their war against Israel.
@@hope-cat4894 If he fell on you it'd feel like an avalanche...
I think the real reason Bobert hates the Spartans in Halo is that he didn't like that they stopped the rings from activating, and Bobert's power fantasy of wiping out all but the chosen few was interfered with.
He hates the Spartans because they are physically fit and respected by other people.
He would be right next to the Prophets of the Convenant like "ALRIGHT SLAM THE BUTTON!"
And even Truth would be like "Can you please cmtake it down a notch."
Best difficulty option is South Park’s color slider “it doesn’t change the gameplay just every other aspect of your life”
That was really fuckin funny lmao
That's actually a misconception. It does change gameplay since if you have a dark enough skin color, black characters won't fight you.
So, if your skin color is dark enough you can't fight the superboss Morgan Freeman.
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 Yeah, the actual statement ingame about the slider is "Don't worry, this doesn't affect combat. Just every other aspect of your whole life." Which is true, because it does impact dialogue and even how much money you get.
@@SoridanI had no idea that’s how it worked. Man…
Okay, basic mockery aside, we should clarify why MovieBob is wrong. His argument, essentially, is that the Human-Covenant conflict thoughtlessly embodies the notion that "diversity and individuality is bad; faceless conformity is good". MovieBob might -- *might* -- have a point if the Covenant was a true alliance of equals and all of those equal aliens were intrinsically hostile (and if their antagonism was presented as rooted in their diversity, i.e. "they're the enemy because they're cohabiting aliens", which isn't the case; they're the enemy because they're waging an unprovoked genocidal war). But neither of those hypotheticals is true.
The Covenant isn't an alliance, it's an empire. The Elites are there because the Prophets have been manipulating them, and everyone else is there because they were conquered or would be crushed if they dared resist. Other than the Prophets, only the Brutes are intrinsically a problem, because of their fanatical aggression.
The Elites -- the biggest faction anyway -- become allies of Humanity.
The Hunters and the Drones have no inherent agenda against humans and just go home once the Covenant falls -- because they were only there at gunpoint, essentially, and are too alien to really care about politics and religion as Prophets or humans understand them.
The Grunts just do what anyone bigger and stronger tells them to do, but otherwise would rather just live their lives threatening no-one.
The Jackals are profit-motivated; they'll raid and pirate, but if it's more profitable to have a peaceful trading relationship they'll do that instead.
Even the Brutes, the clearest "intrinsically bad" subject race, are being manipulated.
The Covenant isn't an alliance of bad aliens against monolithic, "pure" humanity; it's a false, coerced monolith based on lies and oppression.
And for that matter, the humans aren't intrinsically "good". We see a dark side to their unity -- political squabbles between colonies and the central government overreaching, lots of moral grey areas, and the consequences (particularly post-war) of having the military and intelligence communities end up so powerful. So just as the Covenant isn't "diverse alliance bad", the humans aren't "monolithic conformity good".
The factions are not so simple; what's simple is *the underlying conflict of the war* -- the Covenant is trying to destroy humanity unprovoked, the humans are resisting so they don't get wiped out. *That* is simple and straightforward; but Halo never assumes that "alien alliance bad", "pure humanity good". Especially since later games make a big deal out of Human-Elite alliances.
Also, in the Bungie era we had ODST which showed the gang just thoughtlessly shoot down a bunch of Engineer hives just because they were in the way, despite no harm coming from them. Only to later realise the Engineers are just slaves and cannon fodder to the covenant.
Also, to be clear, it was a Human-Elite-Grunt-Hunter-Engineer alliance.
MovieBob's argument is as usual based on his ignorance of the subject. Even if his thesis is this shows how "diversity and individuality is bad; faceless conformity is good", it's the Covenant that embodies "faceless conformity" far more than the Humans, as all aliens are basically enslaved into it
>only the Brutes are intrinsically a problem, because of their fanatical aggression.
This isn't true though. If anything jackals are the far more problematic specie in the Covenant, as portrayed through their action, at least when Bungie was around I don't care about what retcons 343 makes.
Hell, given the Prophets' existence, it seems to be a slam dunk 'Religion fake and ghey thus bad' standard leftist argument, but they couldn't even take that so need to try and warp it into the 'current year' talking point instead.

Thank you for all your hard work timestamp person.
Thanks massive, appreciate the work.
@@joanjorge566 you're welcome
@@liliesaregoodfortheliver2954 my pleasure
I appreciate that you gave Korinne and her husband their own time stamp. It truly is heartbreaking.
The problem with UnderTheMayo videos is that he has ABSURDLY specific tastes in games. And he's really bad at evaluating any games quality based on what it's trying to do instead of what he personally wants it to do.
I think his Halo video is a very good distillation of this mindset. Where he is barely capable of engaging with the game at all because he thinks all shooters should be Doom.
In his Alien Isolation review he goes off on how much his hates the game, and then ends with him explaining how he would prefer the game to be. His explanation of how the game should be is just what the game already is, even down to specific mechanics that he apparently refused to engage with despite saying it's what he wanted. Very bizarre.
@@GBDupreeThat sounds insane lol
Mayo's videos are utter garbage. He made a decent video ONCE and apparently that extremely specific thing is the only thing that he enjoys. He's also a massive douchebag about it. He's a clown
I like his Doom takes but like you said, his bias is very deep because of how much he enjoys/wants more games to play like Doom
I used to like him a lot when Eternal came out, a lot of his advice helped my finally clear it on Ultra Nightmare.
Haven't gone back after the hilarious Elden Ring and ebegging stuff though. What a goober
It’s nice to see Cynical Reviews. As for this episode, this felt like a classic efap with just horrible video essays all around. MovieBob continues to amaze me at how moronic he is and even back then. Good job, everyone.
It's endlessly funny to me that, because of his awfully imbalanced exposure to DC things, Rags' first and foremost knowledge about the Lazarus Pit is from that one time on a terrible CW crossover event where a racist Jonah Hex got his ass kicked next to one.
The really strange thing about Bob’s Halo take is that he played the Halo game where the evils of the Covenant were the most blatant, sinister and obvious.
If you played the first three main Halo games, you don’t really get a sense for the fact that the Covenant are a genocidal threat to humanity. It’s kind of alluded to, but not something those games gave much focus or attention.
But Halo: Reach? A key theme of that game is the brutal, sadistic nature of the Covenant and the way they go after human civilians in their millions for no other reason than religious conviction. So it’s weird that in the Halo game where the evils of the Covenant are given the most focus that Bobert _still_ somehow manages to come away with the take that Halo is just a vehicle for the “fascism good, diversity bad” message.
If he only played Combat Evolved where the Covenant are just aliens who go “wut-wut,” his stupid take would be somewhat understandable. But *Reach??* That’s just insane. 😂
And then if he played 2 and 3 it would go back to being nonsense again. Because the reason the Covenant is united is a Lie.
Turns out intergalactic wars can be a little more complicated than just "Pure Evil side vs Pure Good side"
@@tevenpowell8023 I’m sure at that point the Covenant become a warning for the dangers of capitalism or religion or MAGA and how people become brainwashed to support systems that work against them and he’ll forget he said they were about diversity.
People like Bobert have an answer for everything. 😂
@@tevenpowell8023 At that point the Covenant become a metaphor for how capitalism/fascism/Trump seduces people with a lie and he forgets the diversity point.
People like Bob always have an answer for everything even if, and especially when, that answer doesn’t make sense. 😂
It would be insane to have Bobert's take after Halo 2. The whole overarching theme is Arbiter breaking free of the Covenants' religious indoctrination and realizing he had been a genocidal warlord all for a complete lie. Hell, the entire game is far more Arbiter's story than Chief's despite him being the face of the franchise.
@@scottski02 not only that but stupid Prophets being very blind and delusional when the Oracles who are monitors of the rings they visit often repeated "The rings are weapons created by the forerunners to combat the flood and destroy all life. After the creation of the rings, the forerunners disappeared and or died."
The prophets were misinterpreting the rings, they were not salvation. Even more so the flood was just as bad as the covenant.

Militaristic society stories have a basic, innocuous level of appeal to the masculine spirit. The trend of people being hyper-sensitive to this as inherently 'fascist' is a problem.
Militarism is fundamentally orthogonal to other political concerns.
Militarism would also be a natural consequence of an alien species trying to wipe you out. It's like WH40k, it's hard not be Xenophobic when every alien species you meet is trying to kill you.

@@shebakobyNot true. I'm pretty sure after any conquests or conversions Bobert would keep the virgin women for himself...
@@AsperTheGhostkeep in mind that he's turned off by women having differing politics to his own. Like, his type is "Tall hot librarian" but he's said he's disappointed these all turned out to be Maga's when he ran into them (a claim I find suspicious considering he lives in *Boston* , which is extremely blue, and I've NEVER met a right-wing librarian myself and I live in NDP central which is basically just (D) on steroids).
In skyrim if i remember correctly the legendary difficulty makes it so you deal 25% damage and recieve 300%. You die easy but every enemy becomes a sponge. A mod changes it to dealing 300% and taking 300% and suddenly it becomes more about controlling distance and timing which makes it harder but also more skill based. There are so many ways of handling difficulty I dont understand this man
I am guessing that Bobert is ut from the same cloth as many left leaning figures of the time with similar "critical thinking " and "ideas". Like College Humor, Cracked, Mary Sue etc. They bleed into each other.
Guessing the Starship troopers thing has been a big sticking point for a long time.
I remember one of the few things that annoyed me about Iron Man 1 was Stane selling weapons to terrorists. Not only is he risking treason charges, but anything he could make selling to Terrorists is a pittance compared to what he’d make selling to the US and her allies.
The whole reason for him to sell to terrorists is to start an arms race. Making the terrorists technologically equal to the the U.S means the that U.S will need to buy bigger and better guns in larger quantities. This in turn will mean that the terrorists will need more weapons to keep up, and stark industries will be in the middle profiting on both sides for the next 10-30 years.
He was trying to start an arms race between the terrorists and the U.S
Remember everyone, at least the Covenant has diversity. 🤣🤣🤣

I mean, they also wanted to end all life in the galaxy as part of some twisted religious belief but dammit they are progressive so thumbs up xD.
"The only problem with Stalin is that his army was not diverse enough, but destroy anything that remotely reminds me of the nazis" -MovieBob's least controversial take.
I first learned about iron man from reading those old Marvel Adventures comic books and in those he had a tractor beam that made young me confused why it didn’t shoot out tractors
Under the Mayo has some very strange takes, his Village/GoW is absolutely bizarre, but I've seen way worse takes covered on EFAP.

Robert Mckee was a script doctor and writing coach in Hollywood. His book "Story" is considered one of the best because of its focus on trying to make writers push past surface tropes.
Yep, Mckee's book is well thought of in the screenwriting community. Same goes for Trottier's "Screenwriter's Bible" and Snyder's "Save the Cat" books. All of them are considered must reads for starting screenwriters.

It's rare I see such an awesome array of amazing alliteration in EFAP, but here we are.
Rags is starting to become insufferable to listen to. He has no idea what he's talking about especially on the topic of games, games hes never even played only watched mauler play. Its really a joke the way he grandstands like he has some sort of authority
Mayo's suggestion to make games better is to add thoughtless puzzle sequences that exist to waste time. This is all fueled by the fact that he couldn't get good enough to beat GMGOW difficulty. What a scrub
But adding platforming segments won't make the hardest difficulties combat less "bullshit" do he still would complain.
FF7 Rebirth for instance adds in puzzles like that and I’m pretty sure it’s agreed by most that it’s blatant padding
Lol I didn't know he couldn't beat it on GMGOW
So he says on easy difficulty it becomes a button masher but when on the hardest difficulty where you basically HAVE to engage with every mechanic the devs have provided he still complains?

The concept that hardship and high stress environments expose your true character comes explicitly from the fact that in such scenarios you don't have time to consider and so your brain goes for a default response. You have no time or brainpower to be duplicitous. The reason for the phrase "do not judge to harshly in comfort the actions of those taken in hardship" is because of the understanding that 1) you have not been through the metaphorical crucible and faced the mirror of yourself to know if your actions would be better or worse, and 2) because people living in comfort rarely have as complete an understanding of what is necessary to be done.
Consider this: which says more about a person; a man with 100 dollars to his name donating 50 dollars to a beggar, or a man who is a multimillionaire giving 50 dollars to the same beggar. One of these men has a measure of his character revelead in full, the other not so much of anything can be gleamed.
Overlooking the obvious fact Moviebob knows basically nothing about Halo, as if he were to go after anything about the spartans, it'd probably be how comically evil ONI are, (cuz, y'know, Film Robert would very much miss that it was intentional) and not that they're not racially diverse considering the only Spartan II in their squad is *Hungarian*.
I like how Moviebob points out covenant diversity as if humanity simply chose not to enlist aliens into their army, and ignores the fact they only take humans as hostages and useful idiots to enact their genocide. As if they wouldn't have done the exact same for any other species that was made the reclaimer.
Also, the humans immediately enter into alliance with anyone who isn’t hostile to them and never initiate conflict.
They form alliances with the Sentinels, Engineers, Elites, Grunts, Hunters, and even the Flood when those peoples aren’t hostile to them.

As an older gamer, I don't get the whole cranking up the difficulty to the max all the way. I've noticed as I've gotten into my 40's that my reaction speed (which was never the best) has declined. I always play on Normal mode. I've even bumped some games down to easy if I just want to get the story or the experience with the game without a huge hassle. Plus, I don't have a ton of free time to game like I did when I was younger.
I’ve never gotten time thing unless you’re renting the game
I only ever play on the highest difficulty if there's some kind of achievement or reward for it.
And even then only if I already really like the game.
@@tevenpowell8023i only ever did that if there were unlockables or secrets for doing so or in-game differences like Halo with game dialogue.
For a lot of players, playing on normal is simply too easy and feels nothing. I am in my 40s too, and normal difficulty of RTS still feels too easy so I would set it higher just so Its a challenge.
Often low fail chance presented by lower difficulties makes a game boring. Getting shot 50 times in an FPS and only losing half your health isn't very stimulating.

It's nice to see Mayo's shitty takes finally get called out by a bigger, more relevant channel, I still have PTSD flashbacks from his god awful Elden Ring stream.
4:29:50 It's also funny how Mayo gets mad when people use the "oh yeah, switch to the hardest difficulty and see how easy it is" argument, when he himself used that exact same argument in his "How God of War was ruined" video as some sorta "ah see, old GoW is better!" gotcha moment lmfao.
It's also ironic how whiny Mayo sounds in all his videos, when his reasoning for disliking Atreus is that he's too whiny lol.
To Korrine!
"no ones played all the resident evil games"
*Sweats nervously* y-yeah imagine having no life like t-that.
Played the first 5…sadly after 2 everything felt not quite as fun.
2:27:07 Fallout 3 Difficulty was a failure, the harder you set the game, the easier the game becomes. As you get an exp bonus based on difficulty. Doing so allows you to level faster, what allows you to gain power faster, what allows you to gain levels faster. The actual difficulty modifier is only about how much damage the player does and the enemy does. What with the right build and the right Gameplay Route, the effect of increased enemy power is negligible.
Damn. Pour none out for that dude and his family. Shout out to you, Brother. Don't be afraid to ask for help
Bro can't handle that "Dante must die" difficulty
Resident Evil 4 is the only thing (aside from Dead Space) that brings Rags joy in life.
EFAP should cover some of Bob's Overthinker episodes.
I always love the Tank control issue people have, when some people don't realize that RE 4 and 5 are technically using tank controls.
It drives me up the wall when people complain that it isn’t “true RE” because it’s not tank controls. There are arguments you can make but that is just wrong.
The issue is that most people are dumb and refuse to learn what tank controls are. Nearly every fps and third person game technically has tank controls, up is forward, left is left, right is right, down is back, and Camera position doesn't affect the controls (mostly because the camera is your face or right behind you, so it's functionally tank controls). The difference is that classic RE has set camera positions that aren't on the player, any other control setup would be awful when you round a corner and then do a hard turn the other direction or directly into a wall. Uncharted 1 is a game that should have had tank controls. Whenever the camera hard cuts from behind you to a new cinematic angle, you walk into a wall or off a cliff or do a sweet 180 into the shit you're running away from.

RIP Corrine ❤, throat cancer survivor here 😢
43:55 Oh yeah that really common old saying you hear all the time 😂
Wow. I don't know how I missed that. That's the most Biden thing he's ever done lmao!

I could have sworn EFAP covered that MovieBob video years ago. False memory?
Every MovieBob video looks and sounds the same so you probably misremembered.
Virulent videos is my only joy in life
honestly if marvel what if had twisted tony into a dictator from the point he said "I am iron man" to go and rule the world, that would have been quite interesting. could have gotten the whip guy into the avengers trying to take down evil tony.
nobody's played over half the RE series? you kidding? I've played all mainline RE games, often multiple times, including remakes. at this point I think I'm missing mainly the dead aim spinoffs really, and I'm not even old enough to have wanted to play RE 1 and 2 when they launched. There are definitely a fairly decent number of people out there who have probably played all of them, and the number of people that have played the main series like myself is probably very large, particularly considering how accessible the main series is (0, REmake, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 2 Remake, 3 Remake, 4 Remake are all multi-platform with good PC releases on Steam. 2 and 3 classic are technically still available I think, haven't tried buying much on the PS3 store in a while, and haven't had a recent PC release I'm aware of, but are also fairly simple to acquire at a reasonable price unless you're looking for one of the rarer versions, such as GCN or Dreamcast releases).
With this in mind, I can confirm Rags does not have a great understanding of the concept of the older games, he showed that with his take on RE2 Remake's combat and concept, which is a very good adaptation of the classic "survival horror" gameplay present in the original, while updating the playstyle to match newer technology and game designs. while I can't be sure, I have a hunch that Rags has not played the "classic" pre-RE4 titles, which played drastically differently, and thus he's missing a huge portion of knowledge of the series and some of the concepts they tried to re-introduce in RE7 (though to how well they were re-introduced is probably very debatable).
I swear listening to the boys talk about Survival Horror is going to give me an aneurysm
So the Covenant are the good guys because they have little guys and big guys… Movie Bob never disappoints 😂
Whenever someone brings up the gentle giant trope, I love to show them a piece I drew about 8 years ago of this cute, effeminate little mouse character, and then describe to them that the guy who owns that character and commissioned the piece from me is a 6'6" drummer with a shaved head and a goatee. Dude looks like he could snap me in half, and yet he's one of the sweetest people I've ever met.
The trope is real, guys.
Hold up!!! EFAP crew is playing Helldivers 2!? Where’s the stream!!!?
"How was there ever a game over."
Yall terating resident evil 7 and eight like nothing makes sense or is consistent.
Ethan was infected the moment he entered the house. The mold reacted strongly with him, and was revived by evelyn after his suffered lethal concussive damage.
He basicalyl has the same mold attributes as the Family he was fighting with the entire time. The reason they were so ahrd to kill is the reason HE was so hard to kill. It was heavily foreshadowed throughout the game and its weird that you.. missed it so much.
Benefits of the mold can be had without your brain being swallowed upby the mold.
There are game overs in part cause him dying temporarily would be an enormous setback when it comes ot rescuing his daughter, would take time.
He couldn't die from 'special bullshit' he got a major organ physically removed from his body. He refused to stop giong and basically, and finally, overtaxed his mutant body.
Whole deal with the Mold in resident evil. It is arguably the most powerful mutation and infection in the setting, but it is also the least virulent and has difficulty infecting quickly.
Halo Reach? More like Halo Reich.
In the combat conversation and how people lean to damage over everything else, part of that is because a lot of rpgs dont give you info on the enemy besides hp. Sure i can drain 100 mp, but i have no clue how much max mp my opponent has, i have no clue how much his spells cost, i dont even know if he has some sort of mechanic to allow him to cast spells/abilities without mp, so it is always easier to focus on the more static known element

The distinction between characterization and true character doesn’t make any sense for a fictional character in film. The one is how we know the other. It’s not like comparing someone’s social media presence to their actual character IRL.
On the topic of introductions to marvel, I was introduced to it with the Toby Maguire Spider-Man movies when I was 4 or 5. Those were great movies.
It's almost comforting that MovieBob hasn't changed since the ancient times. In this chaotic universe, he's the one true constant.
Man the font of nostalgia unleashed by the E reader. I never had one, never knew anybody who had one, but yes, we all had at least one of those gawdy fucking E reader cards lol. Anyone remember the Burger King golden promo cards?
