Thanks everyone for letting me know your thoughts on this and seriously helping me get a new perspective on it. I pushed myself to just sit down and write today no matter how it came out, and honestly it really helped me organize my thoughts and see the game in a bit of a different way. There WILL be a review coming tomorrow <3

You should do a review anyways, i get that you don't want to be negative but at the end of the day this is what a (honest) review is about. I'm not watching your videos to be confirmed in my opinion.

From one creator to another - try to reconsider. From a viewers perspective it's extremely helpful to have other opinions than positive ones. From the devs perspective they could find new aspects to improve on. And from your perspective, usually it's videos you're struggling with that you can learn the most from, even when (or especially when) you're not happy with how they turned out. Otherwise, I'm here if you need help or a second opinion. Godspeed ✌🏻

Came here after watching your review. I must say, I'm glad you released the video. A few friends of mine, tho doesn't seems to dislike the game, doesn't feel satisfied with how it seems to be, especually from their rather poorly optimized experience with the Prologue, and most of their points aligns with yours as well. I do also have concerns with the car's grip handling being built more for drifting yet put on for a grip race, but that's a "me" problem to expect a drift game to be more focus on grip. It's def not the one to put the genre back on the radar from my POV, nor does it move the genre forward a lot, but I don't mind its existence and appreicate the devs' effort.

You can be objective while still being honest about what missed for you Theres a big difference between "this is bad" and "this isnt what i want but i can see why some people would"

in a world where everyone always feels the need to complain about everything i do appreciate someone being able to stop themselves from puttnig out a video to not add more to that. however i think fair criticism is still appreciated, and not just for the viewers but potentially also those who wish to either dev their own games or get into game design, and i respect your decision a lot. i wish i could help you out, its a tuffie, i respect not wanting to add too much negativitiy, but theres a fair few people who did say its not for them, so maybe the "its not for me, heres why, heres what i actually do like, heres what i personally woudlve looked for" kinda video would work?

That’s what reviews are for man!! It they were all positive no one would get good info. Please make the video even if it is negative.

This is a case where I’d want your perspective especially if you feel like it is negative compared to most. I think a wide range of input on a title is valuable in helping us make a more informed decision. If this helps any, please consider keeping it going forward.

Hey! I do think you should do it but maybe under a different method. Maybe a short, maybe a video project where you break down what can be fixed along with the negatives. You have done it before. BUT I also understand not wanting to release something you don't feel completely comfortable with, whether that's due to being a martyr or due to not being able to put your all in it. Either way, this is a good remark and at least you tried! Don't mind seeing a video about it from your channel regardless but I respect the choice and the way you did it!

I’m personally curious as to what people’s problems are with the game, as I’m not in the position to play it for myself. I see some stylistic choices that are a up to taste, but I do wonder how the car handling and driving feels. I know awkward driving physics can ruin one’s experience with a game.

Don't fall into the idea that negativity should be avoided. If everything was good, nothing would be exceptional. Cheers.

Why are you afraid to make a negative review. Your honest opinion makes the community better. We need you to do it.

That’s exactly why I want to see a video from you. We need different opinions, so people can see if the game is worth buying or not without people glazing it to the highest heavens

I could just see from the first footage I saw of the game that the handling was a problem. It looks quite dumbed down, although in a more appealing way than something like The Crew. But I could see it wasn't for me.

It's kinda understandable if you have a feeling that your initial negative impression is weighing too heavy on the review, or is going too much against the grain. Maybe just take some time to distance yourself and then take it on cold, methodically pointing out all pros and cons once the hype settles down a bit. Every community benefits from diversity of opinions, so your take has value and I think it should be heard at some point, even if you don't feel comfortable posting it in current hyped up climate. In fact, your initial reluctance could be an interesting premise for that potential video later on.

Hey folks, so about JDM...I've been reviewing the game, I beat it the other day and started writing a script, but to be honest I don't think I'm going to make a video for this one.
I didn't have a good time with it, and after a dozen re-writes I just couldn't find a good way to express that without being pretty negative. From what I've seen a lot of folks are excited for this and liking it so far, and I'm not the guy to be that voice of negativity when other people are having a good time.
I am still going to stream it on launch day (this Wed) over on my Twitch channel so if you want to ask any questions or just see and chat about the game then definitely stop by, but yeah don't expect a review on the main channel for this one. Best of luck to the dev team with the launch and I hope those who buy it have a great time with it!
