    Just to clarify - Please DO NOT harass L3ONJHK. He made a mistake and thus should be given room to improve.
    Dank Swank is very much against the idea of an "echo chamber". Everyone's opinions are valid and we're sure that this new knowledge will help him rectify his mistakes.

      Exactly: every fandom, wether it be videogames or books or movies, has toxic fanbases whose toxicity can infect other aspects of media and daily life. It’s part of the reason we made this video; to call out toxic behavior and encouraged an active push back against it to mitigate its effects on this game and the culture as a whole.

      This is true, but we should acknowledge that these decisions are made by the publishers, not the devs. Question what the devs say, sure, but remember that the reason they are saying it is because they are basically forced to by the publisher, and with that in mind, it's the publisher that ultimately needs to be held accountable.

      @@grahamspain2947 THIS - 9 times out of 10, the problems with a game are the result of the publishers, NOT the developers. The game has DRM because the publishers decided it should be there, not the developers. The game has microtransactions because publishers are trying to placate the shareholders, not the developers. A game launches buggy because publishers pushed for a release before the game was done, almost always despite the wishes of the developers making the game themselves. Don't buy anything the developers say because they are essentially HELD HOSTAGE by a publisher who can gatekeep what the developer says, and publishers directly benefit from lying to its consumers.

      @@grahamspain2947 tch, I was about to saying that, but the general point I was trying to say is. One should not be putting KT/Nacon up on the pedestal just because they're we're doing anything pro-gamer (ie. listening to the fans, not filling their games w/ microtransactions, all that sort of stuff)
      It's a difficult thing to say why, but I was old enough to remembering the likes of Ubisoft, Bethesda, Blizzard, and recently Naughty Dog and CDPR we're once hailed as the respected game developers until Fallout 76, Warcraft Reforged, TLOU2, and that certain futuristic "next generation of open world adventure" came along and every single one of these pro-consumer companies gone down on the line

    Just a question, are those liveries up on FH4 or did you personally make them?

    • @dankswank9088
      @dankswank9088  3 роки тому +1

      We personally made them. For the Range Rover, all we did was go into the paint tool on Forza Horizon 3, made the base color gold, and put a few black vinyl layers. That's it. We're sure you could easily find a dozen replicas of the Solar Crown Range Rover livery shared on Horion 4, and if not, it's pretty easy to make! All the other cars were just us selecting the closest match to the colors from solar crown from the selection of stock colors for each vehicle.
