Thanks for watching! Last Hour of the Subathon has started will my Daily Stream Streak end TODAY? Let's find out: www.twitch.tv/kuruhs and the merch I mentioned: merch.streamelements.com/kuruhs
Fun fact: If you need to farm points in drift events in NFSU2, do a drift, pause and go watch the replay, the game (at least in the PS2 version), is going to count that as a drift, so you can watch it again and again. After that, press start again, and finish the drift.
i like games that let the player narrative be the ending, and don't make a long exit cutscene that completely writes a conclusion after narrativising the whole game, it gives you the space to celebrate your triumph.
@@pilotpr0jekt883 Oh yeah because it's the person in the smaller car or the kid in front of your bumper that you don't see who dies, instead of the driver of the SUV right? SUV's are a tumour of society.
SUVs are cool af... Escalades and Hummers were at the forefront of the influential 2000s car scene. Nowadays you have companies like Jeep and Dodge making 700hp street legal racing machines shaped like a fridge... But sexy in a way. SUVs are like plus size women, they weigh more and take up more space so often get overlooked but if you give them the time of day and appreciate them, they have a lot to offer 😂
Man remember in 2002 when this car was considered cool? and people actually paid hundread thousands for them and it was in posters and rap music clips? Aged like a forgotten sandwich in a lunchbox left in closet for 20 years.
@@OfficialDJSoru canyonero syndrome is what I call that where a guy might want it but won't buy it because it makes them feel less macho kinda labeling it as a woman's truck in a way I guess kinda would make sense just saying
We've all won a race going sideways across the finish line, or even in reverse. But it's not every day where we see someone win a race by going over the line up side down and mid roll and landing it right afterwards.
Another thing about SUV events i noticed, was if you complete game without doing them all they just vanish...had it happen once also with all parts the escalade should be the fastest suv.
Same with special events, I had one magazine cover left to do but the game unlocked the final race as I had done all the races required to unlock it, I chose to do the final race first and do the magazine cover as a celebratory thing for beating the game, it vanished afterward and locked my game at 99% complete
This happened to me on my most recent playthrough. My plan was to unlock the final race then buy an SUV to complete all SUV races and then get back to the final race but instead I bought an SUV and there were no events to do so I just switched back to my regular car and finished the final race. I ended up with about 80% game completion if I remember correctly.
I did this challenge myself once, with the Escalade. It mostly went OK, but drift and closed track events were hell. The final boss was an anticlimactic curbstomp because of all the freeway driving. It seems that to compensate them being unmaneuverable bricks the game lets SUVs have much higher top speeds than the AI.
13:18 very true, I beat NSFU fully about 5 times I think, but never got around to complete NFSU2 because the events just get boring. NFSU just has a better pacing and difficulty curve, it's similar scenario for RCT1 and RCT2, where RCT2 is the far better sandbox game but RCT1 has far better level design and progression.

@@WatcherKoops4677 If I remember correctly you unlocked it as a 'special' part by completing a certain amount of outrun races in later levels. When I played this as a kid I put a carbon wide body kit on my r34, only issue (and a major oversight IMO) is that you only get one token to install it, so whatever car you put it on is the only car you'll ever get to put It on in Career mode.
It's good to have you make this content for us KuruHS. I wouldn't want to put myself in this misery, your suffering for our entertainment is greatly appreciated 😁
When I was a child, I thought the race against Caleb would hard race only to find out that he's a joke. He's one of the easiest NFS bosses, possibly the easiest I ever faced.
I suggested this challenge in chat a while back, and then I thought about it later and realized how SLOW and PAINFUL such an experience would be. I'm sorry Kuru! :(
Me: I played at least a thousand hours on this game let's see this montage Also me, an Italian listening to Eiffel 64 and Gabry Ponte in background: SIAMO FIGLI DI PITAGORA! 10:52
Imagine we had a NFS Off-road game in this day and age. With only SUVs, rally cars and monster cars and trucks. I actually forgot about the visual rep that you need by ricing the shit out of the cars ever since I started using "novisualrep" 😂.
Enjoying this, missed playing NFSU2 on the PS2. How could they not do a 3rd. I wish Forza would have the rear mirror view like that on the outside camera,
If you could delete the URL races (or at least shorten them significantly) and cut out the year long drive to races in Jackson Heights this game would be a lot more tolerable The routes for all of the other event formats are varied enough that I didn’t get bored of them
I've never finished Underground 2. I tried 4 times but the game wouldn't let me. I'd get to chapter 3 but in the middle of it, I'd run out of races to play. And there's nothing left to do; no ending cutscene or the congratulations message. Both PS2 and PC versions have done this to me.
I have actually Beaten nfs Underground 2 in the escalade. Its fun and rage inducing. I used to play it on The GameCube so yea you already know im an old gamer.
you can potentionally win 3 races with Rachels car one race is hidden without a marker + do those outruns and collect the Tips from the street would gain you easly 1000 bucks before you get your first car wich allows you instand upgrades
I agree that the speedrun of this game is pretty repetitive. It basically just devolves into a hotlapping simulator. Partly the reason a hotlapper has the speedrun record right now.
Crazy now you think back in 2004 when most people brought Camrys, Accords, Malbus and 3 series, whereas now Rav4, CR-V, Equinox and X3 now outsell their own sedan counterparts in the same showroom in 2023. Heck. with the launch of the new Hummer EV & the Escalade IQ today makes it even more relatable than ever.

I have so many good memories with this game. Nothing says early 2000s like ricing an SUV until it looks like a parade float.
Today's lesson: Cars are way better than SUV's, in real life, as well.
Except for people who actually use it.

So true. You know the H2 aged badly when the only Hummer in the last 3 Forza Horizon games is the original H1
@@OfficialDJSoru the h3 was good too I think...
@@michaelpopowich5095 it was but sadly was overshadowed by the H2. H3 was the more affordable one but nobody wanted it cause it was small

Man, i miss NFSU2. NFSU2 and MW/Carbon were the best NFS games and no other recent game gets even close to them.
What keeps you from reinstalling NFSU2 again? Keep coming back to it once every few years

16:00 - KEKW broken rubberband be like
I miss it when games included the Hummer. Idk why but it's such an nostalgic car now

I've Never Unlocked WideBodyKits for SUVs in Underground 2
There are unfortunately none in the game. Maybe one day someone will mod in some.
@@zedcario Damn
I was always thinking about it
What a relief😂 thanks
I am still confused about wide bodykit today.
Are they only available for free race mode? not career?
@@WatcherKoops4677 If I remember correctly you unlocked it as a 'special' part by completing a certain amount of outrun races in later levels.

Slapping a widebody on an SUV would have made both the close camera angle and the far camera angle completely useless lol.
Oh no my 5 kids will miss the school!
Quick, get Kuru!!
8:04 that was hilarious 😂
6:53 I think the guy is enjoying the BGM on this clip quite much lmao
I've never used the SUVs in this game. I was surprised to see they have icons for those optional races.
Shoutout to Zetcario for using the game's original font for the overlayed text. It's a really nice touch !
Thanks ❤
@@zedcariowhat are the font name?
@@bitelaserkhalif Helvetica italics
@@zedcario thanks
I like how this game had a big focus on realism and shows accurately that SUVs are slow and horrible to drive with no advantages.
But that’s not entirely the case lol. I don’t like SUV’s more than the next guy but opinions aren’t facts.
This game need to be remastered with new shader working dash lights, and hd tuning components

i can’t believe kuru is listening to filipino rock music 7:33
8:05 reference!
Law and order SUV: underground criminal
Its so strange hearing game music in Kuru's videos
The Fat and Furious
😂
i always wondered if that's possible as a kid, but i never was enough patient to deal with this XD
Kuru in these video as a Sonchyk - bought the SUV and got the project kolhoz :D
Online physics for some reason is different. I know people drifting in this game and it's quite therapeutic.
Finally you tried this challenge. Thanks for listening
Whats the song at @3:34? :o
abyssmare winner found it!
Mega, thank ya! 🫶🏼
Did it , if you are decent at tuning, you can do some crazy stuff , and even suv become capable

They’re heavier than their gmt brothers. No comparison between them & the h2 is dog shit slow.
@@deaf2819 idk man, I mean it's slow if you include the terrible handling, but on the freeway it gets goin pretty fast lol
0:56 Does anyone know how Kuru unlocked all the cars at the beginning?
🎶Cars real big🎶
the edits are kinda sick
i keeeeeep forgetting suv's exist in nfsu2 lol
NFS : Memphis edition.
That block of cheese destroys police cars in SBRW. Especially if you play in FRSS.
for me it also uses suvs on standard drift races and mountain drift
Are SUVs the answer to Drag Races?
A souped up Miata MX-5 was actually the fastest tunable car in the game
how could you open many cars in the first car lot selection? any hack source to that pls?
I think it's may be because of the unlock all things option from extra options
How do you get Underground 2 to run so well on windows 10/11?

8:00 lol
I agree that the speedrun of this game is pretty repetitive. It basically just devolves into a hotlapping simulator. Partly the reason a hotlapper has the speedrun record right now.
Funniest part is seeing a line up
“GTR, Evo, A rexxy, H3, RX7…wait H3?” 😂
Once you upgrade the ecu then it becomes something else
Should have went with the escalade in my opinion its way lighter than the H2
