The thing I miss the most about this game is the story and how every “boss” race had their own proficiency. You had your muscle car champ, the sport bike champ, the chopper champ. Really wish rockstar would consider doing a remake or reviving the series for next gen.
They'd do a great job, better than anything nfs has done in recent memory
And daym Vanessa went from eclipse to lambo 😎🤙
That nfs with ken block was pretty good u should try it’s similar with the bosses
Midnight Club Street Racing & II had actual bosses with face reveals, that's what I miss more.
They are, you can watch a trailer that came out last December
Midnight Club 3 has a soft spot in my heart. I remember 100% completing the game (remix version) when I was still in grade school. I wanted to boot the game back up on my ps2 a few years ago, but the game decided it didn't wanna live anymore and now the disc doesn't work.
Edit: The disc works, but from what someone said, it's probably the laser that's not properly working. It just gets stuck on the loading screen of the game.
The save state sometimes gets corrupted, try to remove the memory card and play it
I have the Remix Edition emulated on my PS2 emulator on PC.
Yeah i can hep u with emulators if u want. Also, check it without memory card, and if that doesnt work see if you can get the cd resurfaced. It could also be your cd reader is dirty.
@@melody3741 I like emulators, you get to keep your favorite games you liked when you were younger pretty much forever.
Still today it's one of two games i even bothered to 100% along AC Black Flag.
Words can't express how good this game is.
Midnight Club LA may be a great game, but Midnight Club 3 will always be the best in the series.
For me it's Midnight Club 2. Way less stuff in there and obviously no licenced cars and practically no customizing but I think the cleaner, leaner design makes it more fun to actually play.
@@theshinken no
@@wifi6598 DustinEden thinks so too. He ranks MC2 higher in his tierlist.
@@theshinken idk man stuff with no customization drive me crazy like im slowly losing my soul
@@wifi6598 uh, ok then.
I like both of them, but I prefer MC2 because I like the cities, the courses and the handling physics a little more. it's also not as long.
this game will always have a special place in my heart. I wish the series came back but I’ve accepted it died with the decade 😭
Pain
*Guts theme*
Use pcsx2
Yeah, if it came back now it would be full of shark cards and probably dumbed down difficulty.
Scion is pronounced "ion" with an S in front of it, the c is silent
19:25 *doing 150mph through crowded city streets* "why is the cop after ME, man?"
Great vid as usual, and very nice editing (that isnt overdone either). Keep em coming!
Having the Thomas the Tank Engine theme play when the San Diego Train comes by is just perfect.
That train in San Diego is the most terrifying thing. It does not care about anybody, it wants to ruin your life, the AI Drivers' lives, the cops' lives, and the traffics' lives.
DustinEden is one of the rappers that Eminem is afraid to diss
No a youtuber who can be respected lmao
edit: I agree
Lmao
Dustin, WHO?
DustinEden rattled him last rap battle
Am i the only one who feels he stammers a lot
Greatest racing game ever, so much customization that was never around before this dropped. This soundtrack was absolutely epic
I sort of "unintentionally" did a challenge like this when i replayed it some time ago in emulator because i didnt want to run out of money at a wrong moment even though money wasnt much of an issue in this game. It was funny seeing my lexus beat a bunch of vipers and once you get the me four twelve, it was pretty much smooth sailing
did you restarting so many times or you just consistently playing flawlessly?
@@ferdykurniatriyuliananda0521 well i did restart many times especially when i was still stuck on my belair and certain races with the lexus and the chopper races iirc. But with enough patience and many restarts later... I eventually learn the race layouts and finish them
@@demon-x3250 i see, still i'm impressed how you can even keep your head cool after restarting so many times in some races either because of mistakes/being simply outpowered by faster cars/bikes.
Personally, although i never did this challenge at all but as a motorcycle guy that mainly uses bikes since i got the Ducati SS1000 at Atlanta and progressively stepping up into the Aprillia (wish they at least add Yamaha bikes at that time). It was making the game even more harder especially i never rely on using abilities at all (besides for muscle cars & choppers).
Gran Turismo used to be good for that reason once lol
Same here, starter car going up against class A cars was frustrating as all heck. Don’t know how many times I restarted a race.
39:48 miss those early grinding racing game moments where you’d lose from the most ridiculous shit and have to spend 4 hours on the same race. Great times. 😂
Man facts 😂 used to drive you crazy with this
18:47 Dustin's "WOO" is almost a perfect match for Sonic's WOO in unleashed!
It is LMAOOOOO
Ric Flair would be proud
I thought it sounded familiar 🤣🤣🤣
it sounds too much alike LOL
Neons on a bike is actually a thing that people do now. It makes them easier to see at night, and therefore, safer.
Honestly I think it just makes my bike look sick af
@@thentantt it doesn't
@@DustyyBoi rip
Yep
@@DustyyBoi yes it does
I've beaten this game a few times while sticking to a mere C class car the whole way through, last time being the 350Z which was an enormous pain for end game, so I can safely say that this challenge sounds very doable. As long as we ignore the mandatory car buying at the start. I should do a D class car playthrough next.
5:44 oh man so true, the amount of times i've sucked at races because i had no idea about racing lines
Midnight club 3 kicked start my love for the automotive industry I love this game
MNC3 Dub Edition Remix is probably my all-time favorite racing game, by this day. My only complaint is that the end of the game you go so fast, that seeing things on the road becomes really difficult. Especially on the bikes
This video would've been a feature on a games tv channel 15-20 years ago.
Really love the long format stuff, been watching your stuff for the last few months and I'm really impressed. You've got great talent my friend!
When the player obtains Cadillac Cien, I would recommend them to go to Tokyo Challenge and do the first tournament. You can unlock a modified Ferrari from it which is quite fantastic. Really recommend getting it in general.
Wait there’s Ferraris in MC3?
@@Moon-lk8uc you could say that but they call it the gemballa F355
@@Moon-lk8uc The Gemballa F355 is a Ferrari F355 tuned by Gemballa. Since it's licensed under the tuning company, they could get the car more easily. The same reason many games have Ruf instead of Porsche.
Thats actually a great idea, would be faster than doing the club races for the Cadillac mefourtwelve
@@Arexion5293 oh that’s interesting, thanks for letting me know
I was genuinly happy watching all of this. Please do some more challenges on this game! :)
40:09
Bro really be showing off his parking skills tho 🔥🔥🔥
I still play this and Underground 1 & 2 to this day
This vid really brings a good belly laugh as I relate to the frustrations. Such good times....every failure, every trolling setup by the game, all those weird quirks with the physics and the traffic and the racers, nowadays games don't understand that all that shit made things FUN
Dude i have throughly been enjoying your content i love racing games
The editing here is outstanding. Great video.
Another alternate starting route would be to proceed directly to Tokyo without starting career, doing the Magnum's D-Class tournament, and upgrading the DUB Magnum R/T.
Hiii!
So that's where you get that car
It's been so much time since I've played I forgot where you get it lol
i'm having trouble with that tournament: using my fully upgraded IS300 i get Diablos as opponents :/
Love you’re video bro keep the good work my dude and your always the best
This game was my entire childhood and I was really into the competitive drift scene online (both tokyo and ATL). I was so sad when you got to tuning and didn't really understand it. There is ALOT of depth to the tuning system as well as driving manual is pretty much mandatory. If you downshift -1 gear from the the top gear you actually get insane speed from just drifting - known as "st8 drft" since you had keyboard to navigate all the time. And then tuning + the down shifting really let you dial in a car.
There's also a handful of awd cars, but a lot of people didnt understand the front bias vs rear bias awd (key example was the lancer evo was front bias awd, R34 gtr was rear bias rwd) their tuning followed similarly to this.
Also it wasn't uncommon to purposely downgrade tire compound in favor of the drift. For ATL drifting (Atlantas huge highway ring) the fine tuning you would do extended into tire dimensions and suspension setup aside from just the menu tuning.
To sum up the tuning
-Drift factor is the intensity the car wants to break free and start drifting...too much makes your car just spinout, not enough means you can stall out mid drift or can have difficulty changing direction/angle precisely at low speed.
-Traction is basically the amount of perpendicular grip you can remove vs your tire compound level. Its good for if you want the car to slide more if you're completely sideways. This setting is a little more important on awd and fwd drift tunes since those drive types can pull you into a corner while drifting. Remember drifting + downshift = huge speed boost. So you're tuning this to balance speed/control
-Friction bias is your front vs rear grip. (far left front, far right all rear) You would typically dial in your drift factor and bias together as they have similar effects...yet very different consequences. For example cranking the Drift factor up and bias all front (left) is basically impossible to control, and when tuned independently almost feel like they do the same thing. BUT what your actually focusing on is that bias is used to tune/lock in your drift angle, drift factor can smooth or increase the response.
Sharing tunes and have a tuner was extremely imprortant to the online scene and many of tune sessions were spent when remix online was at its peak.
shoutout to the clubs I got to run with (Kaizen drift team, devils racing project, lucky 7's) and so many more. I still remember my first day online being a smart ass challenging the L7's leader to a race on "the D track" in tokyo. Mind you I didnt know tuning, didnt run manual, and just had a fully upgraded supra. The guy lapped me in a 3 lap race. And the rest was history...it took a few months of griding and came back "when i was ready" and we raced again, finally won. Finally...grudges were settles on "Krispy" and "the dome" was an all day affair. something to seemingly simple really was fun with a party.
One of my favorite games hands down. A part of me died the day Gamespy shut their servers down.
Havent thought about lucky 7 in a long time lol I was 3rd on team for quite awhile.
I've never seen anyone else talk about the drift boosting technique! I found out about it by total accident a few years ago when I was replaying the game, decided to try playing with manual as I now drive one IRL. Was loosing speed mid-drift so downshifted, "too early" I thought as the engine redlined, but the results were insane!
My choice of drift car was a bit different then most though, I use the 64 Impala, lol!
I joined some free roam servers back in the day near the end of the game's online, but it was just hanging out and showing off our cool rides.
I just started playing this again. This game was so awesome back in the day. Played it all the time
Still playing midnight club to this day still a very fun game way ahead of its time. Childhood was great
I actually partially did this unintentionally as a kid where I kept to my starter Eclipse all the way til Detroit.
I mean, Eclipses are pretty cool. Where I live, more than half of the cars on the street are second hand JDM imports, so we get all the weird Japanese models that most places never even hear of (Toyota Isis, Nissan Wingroad, Suzuki Hustler etc.) including the performance models, but the only American cars that people import here are the stereotypical ones, like Mustangs and Chargers etc. Since they never sold the Eclipse in Japan (or any right-hand-drive markets for that matter), people would lose their shit if you brought one to a car meet here. They'd probably go crazy if you brought one to Japan too.
Did the same thing on psp version of MC3. The last few tuner club races are quite hard however when using an Eclipse, since you'll be racing against Vipers. Lots of restarts needed, though some races with long straights make it impossible for the Eclipse (even fully upgraded) to keep up with a Viper.
Best thing is to hope the Ai driving Vipers make mistakes and crash out or an NPC traffic vehicle crash into them.
23:00 If you weren't dead from the fall, you definitely dead after getting ran over 💀💀
What is this, 1000 Ways To Die??
11:56
ayo, the Man, the Myth, the Legend Jimmer is now following. Nice!
Dustin my dude thank you for all the great content keep up the great work brother 🙂
Instantly grabbed my attention this channel is gunna be fun
I love your content, Eden, you're awesome! I really want to see other video of Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2, your previous video of this game made me buy it lol
one of my favourite racing games of all time,. so much to customise.
Rockstar needs to bring back Midnight Club one of the best racing collections other than ned for sped, this is one of my favorite racing games of all time i remember playing this on the ps2 with a $5 wheel i got off of marketplace. Please Rockstar bring back Midnight Club.
I loved this game so much. was the first racing game i got into, had it on PSP and had hundreds of hours on it. this and need for speed underground one and two will always be nostalgic to me.
13:20 happened to me all the time as a kid. drove me crazy
Midnight Club LA for the PS3 and Midnight Club 3 for the PSP are both games that will always be favorites of my childhood. These games were great and it baffles me how Rockstar left such a big arcade racing competitor on the table
I remember having dub edition on my psp and just playing hours upon hours this game thank you for bringing those memories back
wow i havent thought about this game in so long. i thank you and i thank the algorithm for showing me your channel
Was pretty funny how you pronounced "Scion". By the way, it's essentially a 2 door Camry, and it's hilarious it ever ended up in any racing games since there is absolutely nothing sporty about it.
...so?
@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 Your mama knocking on ma door, she asked
@@shuraamano What, she asked why certain cars appear in games? What a sad life.
The tC is a pretty decent car. Toyota sports compacts have always been mechanically based on their family sedans.
@@b-chroniumproductions3177 It's a great car, but it's NOT a sports car at all. It is literally just a Camry with a coupe body.
Was recommended to me though I don't search for Midnight Club stuff, but was a fun watch. I think the wall flipping cars is due to the bug at high speeds where your wheel sinks into the floor and because walls are actually hollow, your car is slightly tipping the more it comes in contact with the curved wall as it's "in the air." Bike has being broken in MC2 (the only one I played) was something I was expecting, but as I never played MC3, didn't know about the upgrade system which definitely helps with this challenge vs the pink slip system in the previous alteration.
Thanks for inspiring me to play this game again
One of the things, i loved seeing boyt midnight club was seeing the random events that took place during the races, for example look a car crash took place and its burning . Then we got semi lorries blocking the traffic, as well as a police blockade 🚔
4:48 The thomas the tank sound had me rolling for 5 minutes straight 😂😂
Aswering the title: YES! By buying bikes...
Technically you didn’t buy your first car because they basically gave you the money to buy the fist car lmao but yeah love this video
Absolute banger of a game, amazing atmosphere, music, and handling model, not to mention that weather actually impacts the gameplay as opposed to just being there for variety in visuals and showcasing the engine's capabilities, although I wouldn't say the customization was better than the UG games, in fact I'd say it's more both more overdone and stylish in some ways. I've only recently gotten into it, however, as much as I love it so far, the difficulty is indeed very, very high. Like no joke, difficulty starts ramping up as early as 6% or so. Now, 27% into the career and I already find myself restarting almost every race now, and the AI drives cars considerably better as well.
It's an unforgiving game, measurably more difficult than even UG1's rubberband in the last 10-20 races on Hard which leave some room for error at least (and you can change the difficulty of the events as well). It doesn't suffer from rubberbanding like it does, so in that regard it's a fairer experience, but the AI just drives so well it's aggravating. Not even a fast car seems to make a difference as you can't pull the competition behind in any way, you're always neck to neck with them. It's almost like too good to enjoy, zamn.
One of my favourite games of all time!! rocked this on the psp!
14:35 meet venessa at the hospital! 🤣🤣 nice one
One thing I like about DUB Edition and LA is the fluid progression of performance. Even though there is a clear performance buff between classes there are no major jumps, which makes lower class vehicle way more viable in high-tier events as long as you have the skill and are willing to grind.
MC3s ultra chaotic and random races help of course
I love the content, glad I subbed
Awesome video! Earned a subscriber you’re funny bro😂 Midnight club is my favourite game of all time. Hopefully GTA 6 has racing and will kinda be like midnight club in the game.
10:16
The truck got Isekai'd by a L.A. bus 💀
Yoooo the editing again. Sick 😍
37:50 Baloonshop ❤
I used the Kawasaki Ninja for everything back in the day, except for races you had to use other types. The ninja is just so agile, and u have unlimited NoS since u can pop wheelies etc on every straight.
The song you made about can't have this and that is a hit song fr 😂
I started playing midnight club 3 after my older brother stopped playing, a couple years ago. At 31:00 is where I loaded up my brother's save file and started playing. I started with ice and I then went and beat the game several times over. I love this game
When I was young in the normal Midnight Club 3 I always started with the Impala in maroon with gold trim. Then when I got Tokyo Remix I started with the Scion TC but then immediately aimed for the Cadillac Fleetwood.
hehe nostalgia omg ..remember getting the green murcielago after being called "youre now the United States Champ" was 9 then. Factory was my (bike)and F1 Mclaren (car) was my end game vehicles of choice.
13:05 Eden spitin' bars man!
I love the part when you ran into the gas tank, and it said meet Vanessa at the race😂.
I was like I don’t think that’s gonna happen💀🤣
(Somewhat) random fun fact: DUB actually made a magazine specially to advertise Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition, with the bonus of the Cadillac Escalade cover car in papercraft form for you to get and assemble
For MCLA, it's also possible, even without having to buy the Ninja ZX-14 or 1098R, but this will lock out Andrew's story line after he kicks his RX-7 FD3S, Toshi's series race and the races to Oswaldo's duel.
The Lamborghini Murcielago DUB Edition is enough to do the job for MCLA without needing the Ducati 1098R or Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14.
I did it unintentionally anyway lol, no need to buy cars at all when going for the 1 million run.
@@TRACKSTARRR Not even need the sports bike. The DUB Lambo is good enough.
Late game I used the Ford GT painted to look like the Carson 500 GT in Burnout Paradise.
I like the challenge run you did for this vid, nice one man. I wish you could also do the same challenge in MC:LA (2 actually: an OG in X360 that's better on complete edition, and the Remix one on the PSP with MC2 Tokyo career mode after LA. I hope you get a successful play, man.
This inspired me to do a similar challenge for Gran Turismo 2, although that's probably easy mode because I have speedrun the japanese version of that game before simply buying a starter supra, winning a race that gives a skyline super silhouette (silhouette "foumula") and then using that car to beat the GT World Challenge. All I'd have to do differently would be to get at least all golds in the b license to win a starter car instead of buying one. But for a 100% run using only prize cars, it could still be interesting. Same for GT4, but GT4 is a much longer game lol
Doing this Challenge feels like a Nuzlocke with the roster... considering my taste of completing the game is always SRT-4>IS300>Elise>Monster>Aprilia Not so much on the Permadeath part but at least this run made you a lot more appreciative towards bikes in Midnight Club 3 ^^
I used to go Eclipse>IS300>Elise>MclarenF1 but now I go R32>IS300>Saleen Mustang>McLaren F1
@@keifcuadras9742 i see i see
@@RosyMiranto yeahhh I always used to pick the Elise but then when I started using other cars like the supra or the Skyline I just realized that the Elise handling is kinda weird compared so I had higher chances of not screwing up races
@@keifcuadras9742 ah okay then, but you can't get Skyline until you complete the Tuners Club which is until Detroit
@@RosyMiranto thats true but the IS300 will absolutely carry you all the way to Detroit, once you get the 3rd tire upgrade, it actually makes the game trivial and once you get to Detroit then you can win the Skyline and upgrade that completely, when you get the 3rd tire upgrade for the Skyline it makes the Detroit races much easier too as long as you don't crash
The Alabama "Stars Fell On" tag is one of my favorite US tags actually.
aint played this game in AGES!! Recently went back to some old NFS games and seeing ur video and how you mention midnight club 3 was rockstar’s combat against NFS is funny since you use Zone and it’s basically just the Speedbreaker from NFS MW 2005💀 Game def held up better than expected tho❤️
Love how he went from a Scion tC (made by Toyota) to a Lexus IS300 (Also made by Toyota)
THAT LEDGE CATCH WAS FIRE
watching your video reminded me of a challenge that i starter in midnight club 3; trying to beat the game without buying cars nor upgrades. as of now the best vehicle i have is the cuevito. if you want to try this challenge im gona say now good luck
I actually did this and didnt know it was even a challenge, i ran my starter car right to the end of the game because throught it i never saw the cost/performance advantage to getting another one
Messing about with the friction bias and drifting around the city with absolutely no rear end grip was pretty fun as a kid, though challenging because it was so easy to spin out
Man I got so good s drifting on this game, I haven't been that good at drifting on any other game. with the saleen s7 I could literally drift the whole map 🤣❤️
The drifting was so good in this game. Still required a decent amount of skill to counter steer and such, but hitting the gas added such a boost to your trajectory it made drift builds actually competitive.
A lot of memories and frustrations associated with this game
yay Dustin finally play my childhood game :D
That balloonshop reference though
I would love to see Dustin do a no buying upgrades challenge as well for this game that would be hilarious to watch lol
6:57 that rim had veins
I HAVENT PLAYED THIS GAME SINCE I WAS 6!!!! 😭😭😭 Immediately subscribed
Just watching old games makes me happy even tho I know I can't play then for whatever reason
11:10 oh my god I remember bishop causing me so much grief when I was younger 😭
That’s crazy I never knew ethers was a tuning option as a kid I want to play this again
good game, thanks for making this video
Next challenge gotta be beating MC3 without any upgrades 👀👀
It's hard but not impossible, buy the Gemballa GT750 for class B and the only thing class A cars get is extra nitrous, the only hard part is early game
You can combine it with no buying cars, but that can only bring you to being an US Champ
@@m.raihanammarfachrezixpplg7898 You can also get 100%, but the 15 SUV-only races, the 16? Chopper-only races and the 15 Muscle-only races would make it a very, very difficult task, because the prize vehicles you can use for these events aren't good enough
@@profileinprocess The best way I can see is to do the unlocked club races first before you continue with the rivals races. I think if I know it correctly, with this method the club races difficulty won't be spiked yet (since rivals is the one that will raise your difficulty). Another thing I think of was to win the Tournaments in Tokyo (since the prize vehicles are slightly better). And also do it immediately after you got the vehicle needed. However, it's quite worrying since I've done this and it didn't work properly
@@MedicalBillz only from that point, the gemballa gt750 can even beat a class cars. But unlocking it without upgrading your car... Have fun 😬
11:55 Jimmy Broadbent following haha
oh gog, i remember playing this game on the PSP. good times
The fact that you laughed like Joker at one of the failed attempts of the final race, just gets me lmao
I can't believe 13 year old me played this game so much I knew the maps so good that the unordered races was easy...
reminds me when the last time i finished this. didnt spend much because i was doing well with what i had anyway.
Now this is the type of content i will subscribe for. Finally a dark souls type challenge for my favorite game ever
I remember me and my brother playing this game so much as a kid
I mean, the first car doesnt count since its the beginning of the game, the challenge begins only after you've got the first car
This was the first-ever video game I played back in early 2007
I remember doing a run like this in only using Prize Cars you get through events and man... Alotta the Prize cars are a pain to use without fine tuning.
"I think the highways in Atlanta are awful" just gave me ptsd flashbacks to driving an actively breaking down focus 30mph down the 5 lane highway and being honked and swerved at by hundreds of cars lmao
