Can You Beat Midnight Club 3 With No Upgrades?

Midnight Club 3, it’s well known for it’s high speed events and challenging AI across all of the cities you race on, hence the game would let you upgrade your rides to try and keep up with the AI , but what if we just ignore the performance shop entirely and try to complete this game without upgrading a single ride?

What other challenges would you like me to try out? Post your suggestions here on my Discord server and have a great day everyone ♥️

[@Nitepinkeve22]

here one: Don't use save states for any ps2 game challenge

[@Journey_Awaits]

Beating gran turismo race car events using only comfort or whatever the basic street tyres are called. The burnouts must be funny.

[@abdilahramadhan984]

Complete Need For Speed Most Wanted without hitting any car. Someone else have done it, btw. Its quite rage inducing so proceed with caution :v

[@confusedkemono]

gt4 challenge: have OP cars for events but you must win every race with A AND B spec by pitting once and swapping

[@jskylinegtr34]

@@damarfadlan9251 Next challenge: No using sport bikes/choppers. Would do the same, but substitute the SS1000 and ZX-12R for the Esprit/F1 LM.

[@TheCrankyTechnician]

Favourite racing game ever. The music, the cars, the customization, the insane speed, the American atmosphere... Been playing since 2007 and will never stop

[@user-cg7tn2gs5d]

Same here man. That hip hop atmosphere is badass toi

[@YellowbirdYT]

MC3 is pure chaos, specially the final races. I find the best way to win events is by routing as you can find faster routes to certain checkpoints (this is notorious in races with a single or two checkpoints) Really good run!

[@jskylinegtr34]

All i had to use was the F1 LM and save the exotic club races for post-US Champs.

[@xDEADLOCKEDx2468]

Notorious you say, like Notorious B.I.G.? :v

[@kkzzii]

it took me 16 years to realize how chaotic this game was. i recently replayed this game on an emulator and holy shit this game is brutal, random car get in your way, the opponent being faster than light all of a sudden and etc. i can't believe i beat this game as a 9 year old back then.

[@Liamzy]

The PCJ600 reference, I love that

[@eyecrunchyfraug]

I actually wound up doing this challenge when I was a kid because I didn't understand the upgrades menu. 🤓 Still wound up getting 93% completion, lol.

[@supa_powa7490]

Sooo true but man I totally gave up at Detroit that place was a nightmare for me Even tho it took me sooooo many hours to reach there especially since I had no memory so I had to let the ps 2 stay running for countless nights without turning it off 😂😂

[@Dawgzilla_Drift]

Man seeing this game at such good framerate and all brings a smile to my face. I remember having to deal with 20 fps when playin it on the ps2 lol. Great strims and vid btw 👍

[@iowasucks9494]

I have a very low end computer (paid $400 for the whole thing off a buddy) and i emulate this game at 1080p. Its locked at 30 fps (i haven’t gotten around to installing the 60 fps patch) but it never dips for this game and id say its a worthy investment if you dont emulate already.

[@ldmun]

I beat the game on my overclocked PSP a while back and I was surprised that it ran at a (almost) constant 30 fps

[@gabrielribeiro5192]

The psp version its mnc3 at easy mode, low traffic = better game

[@Mx64MaxyImpress]

Gotta give Kudos for you not using Special Ability, what a nice run~

[@jskylinegtr34]

But not for avoiding sport bikes. Could have gotten the McLaren or Chrysler instead.

[@NZXT_Nomad]

Motorcycle rules: Wheelie = Faster acceleration Ducking down = higher top speed

[@glitch_finder6995]

That's true, problem with wheelies in mc3 is as soon as you go down from the wheelie, you slowdown super hard that it's not even worth wheeling ingame Now for ducking down, you do indeed get slightly better top speed.

[@deathstroke7316]

​@@glitch_finder6995 you end your wheelie just before a turn, it acts as a brake, and that way, you don't have to press any button to slow down

[@glitch_finder6995]

@@deathstroke7316 that is also true if you start a wheelie at lower speed and hold it until you need to slow down for a corner, not only is that not worth it for any of the level speedruns considering jumps and hitting any lamp posts can mess you up super badly, but it also caps your top speed massively compared to not wheeling and it makes your cornering speed significantly worse Although yes you do slowdown for it and could be useful for sharp turns, it's simply better to leave wheelies for style instead of performance

[@proletariandreams69]

Can I? No, not really lol. It was hard enough with full upgrades and save states, I'd be utterly *creamed* by the ruthless AI of this game without upgrades. I similarly love my asshole upgrades and cars in GT4 and 3, those also made me even more so of an upgrades lover, especially of the turbo + suspensions 😉. Either way, great video as usual my dude :3.

[@tea_with-mint]

32:45 Damn I love yakuza 0 themes This one is theme 44 reign for anyone asking Edit: I'm doing a challenge now it's the one car challenge U can use only one car if u started the first race u can't change the car U can modify the car as u like but without cheating My chosen car is the neon srt4 now I'm in Detroit I will try to finish the game as fast as I can

[@v1rtvs]

16:25 😂😂 that game was so chaotic man

[@v1rtvs]

6:46 "Opa" 😂😂 as a Brazillian, that was funny

[@buffynatorofficial]

Mindnight Club 3...Aaah as Rockstar Games cares about other games than just squeezing the sh*t out of GTA 5. Good old times.

[@DeSynkro]

Your content gets better and better! Keep doing great things man!

[@gmdascensia]

​@@purwantiallan5089nijiga.. what

[@FelipeSL622]

Fun fact: as soon as you unlock Detroit, after completing the sport bike club, you could have gone to Tokyo to unlock the Zonda c12, one of the fastest cars in the game... Also class A cars don't have upgrades besides nitrous, only bikes do.

[@Jailbroke]

love this game and video, awesome work bro

[@TallTapper]

probably it'll definitely make you a celebrity overnight

[@gtastuntman3486]

I recently played this game again and I end up finishing the game in two days i remember when i was a kid i took long to complete it 😅

[@Caddynars]

I remember way back in the day when I rented Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition. Unlocking the McLaren F1 was such an iconic moment for me.

[@derosiflo6524]

Didnt think my *epic burn* would make it into the video xd also your life isnt a misinput, you are a lovely dude

[@C1-Runner]

Can you beat MC3 without upgrades? Yes but you have to destroy your opponents quite literally 🤣 Watching you go through this live was quite exciting given how much close calls you had with this. Props to you and your editor for pushing this video out, was waiting for this one!

[@naufal_88]

Woooow Dove is back posting some videos! These are cool and i miss you so much buddy 💕💕❤️❤️

[@kapggp]

i remember HAVING to do this on the psp version bc if you had the psp 3000 model and used the UMD, the game would infinite load any time you tried to go to the garage and if by [a very low] chance you manage to get into the garage, the game would more than likely freeze when you tried to exit😂very excruciating experience

[@AntSwift]

Love these challenge videos, would love to see you try a challenge run with an old Forza title, like Forza 2 "Beating Forza 2 using only Asian cars" potentially?

[@AntSwift]

@purwantiallan5089 I was thinking FM4 but FM2 I figured would be the hardest and the funnest since there's a bunch of tumer cars he could mess about with like the SPARCO and HKS Evos and the Top Secret S15

[@wyattroland2187]

Good job for completing the challenge

[@ootdega]

>"Challenging AI" If by that you mean "PIT you into a wall every five seconds" then we can talk. Just looking at footage of this game gives me PTSD flashbacks.

[@j.m237]

While the A Class A.Is are scary, nothing beats the presence of the GT750 A.Is

[@bigsteve327]

Nice video! I think this would be an interesting speedrun category. No upgrades, no abilities

[@jskylinegtr34]

Also, will do it without using sport bikes, since they only have D-Class nitro.

[@pim3ntamelo956]

super fun challenge and video!

[@DoVe_7]

Thank you!

[@TheDrugsKillz]

Nice choices of songs my dude!

[@Journey_Awaits]

NOOOO TIME TO LOOOOSE!! (I find my paaath)

[@HARRY-ty7ij]

This game is insane! I couldn't beat Midnight Club 3 without any upgrades. It was so challenging but also super rewarding when I finally won. Highly recommend giving it a try!

[@kamikaze4172]

Midnight Club 2 in Midnight Club 3

[@glitch_finder6995]

Little fun fact about the A class bikes ingame: the kawasaki ninja has the highest top speed stat maxed out, it is an absolute beast for any event that has very high speed sections The aprilia factory that's a purchasable A class sports bike has the highest handling stat ingame, nothing comes close to handling better then that thing, especially when you start leaning Ducati 999r: although not as good as the aprilla and ninja, it's still an amazing allrounder bike that is a balanced mix between the ninja and aprilla, really nice bike

[@jskylinegtr34]

True, these are budget beasts that offer exotic performance at the cost of having only D-Class nitro capacity, longer respawn time every crash.

[@Arexion5293]

28:37 Dove's memory is as good as mine. As in not at all.

[@blissfulzane7154]

34:47 Those darn space particles man. Causing the game to glitch 😅

[@confusedkemono]

ESCA LADA LOL im dying

[@jskylinegtr34]

Whenever i use the Kawasaki, i don't use Maria as the rider, usually use Kioshi for A-Class bikes. I find the Chrysler the better vehicle over the Ninja. Gotta try no upgrades, no bikes for a challenge.

[@jskylinegtr34]

He could have gotten the Zonda once the Ninja was won, than use a bike that would be NOS-less and easy to fall off.

[@leonpritchard1302]

challenge: take a shot every time he laughs after saying something

[@RosyMiranto]

Can you beat Midnight Club 3 wihout Tuners, Bikes, and Exotics. How's that for a Challenge Run?

[@RosyMiranto]

@@purwantiallan5089 you still uses Bikes, which is still very fast. That's why i banned all three of them.

[@glitch_finder6995]

I can already assure you of one thing, the muscle cars in this game are interesting, I can only see one muscle car of being able to beat this challenge, and that is the corvette c2 from the club events other then that.. good luck

[@RosyMiranto]

@@glitch_finder6995 i checked the options and probably the best car to use is SL65 you won from the San Diego DUB Tournament.

[@Journey_Awaits]

Might as well on foot

[@jskylinegtr34]

I would always not use Sport Bike or Choppers in MC3 except for their club races (doing them post-US Champ for more money). Not a fan of the default Maria rider.

[@user-cn9oc4kt1i]

i accidentally did this on my first playthrough, younger me decided to ignore upgrades and go all in on the customizations

[@Chitokakubo]

Yes you can, i complete the entire game with 3 cars only without upgrades, the initial car, cuevito and the ninja motorcycle.

[@aziz7815]

I want the playlist songs in the background pls!❤

[@prabhusudan]

What is the name of the song at 21:21 It suits well with the difficulty of that race

[@erykfordon6173]

U could of done the club races to get access to different cars

[@syarifht5929]

now do the 100% remix edition i dare u, not even atlanta gonna spare u with those maxed stat AI, 1 class higher cars, wtf NPC placement and their perfect run nearly without hit. People who made the remix edition is insane lmaooo

[@Basic_Lee99]

I grew up with a version that froze on most cars performance page. So I had to beat the game without upgrades.

[@iowasucks9494]

Were you playing the remix edition on a slim by any chance?

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

Nice

[@SirSnackalot]

What Programm do you use for the PS2 Stuff? And what are the system requirements for it?

[@DoVe_7]

It's the PCSX2 emulator and preety much most rigs can run this emulator

[@SirSnackalot]

@@DoVe_7 Thx alot for the quick answer i try it out. I should have a Mid Night Club 3 Dub Edition Remix ISO on my USB-Stick.

[@Uk-qb4zs]

Will you do a no upgrade challenge in forza motorsport 1 or 2?

[@DoVe_7]

FM1 nah cause of emulation still not being the beat and FM2 when I made my video on it I legit played it without buyin upgrades lmao

[@ChaseMC215]

Dustin did a challenge where he has to beat the game with only prize cars. So how about we have DoVe_7 beat the game without making a single upgrade, it would be a win/win situation, right?

[@TigerDrop787]

If you ever make any more challenges on this game here's some info idk if you know it or not but this game has difficulty adjustment the more you win the harder the game gets and if you only pause and restart the da will stay high but if you finish the race but lose it your da will go down and the races will be a little easier

[@DoVe_7]

That is preety interesting , not sure if i'd want to make it easier cause to me it probably would be a bit boring whatchin an easier run with that difficulty but I appreciate the info

[@TigerDrop787]

@@DoVe_7 I was just sharing the info in case you ended up playing it again and ended up soft locked because you couldn't finish the race but I don't blame you either I wouldn't lower the difficulty either

Haven't thought of that yet, maybe in the future 🤔
