I Tried The Most Painful Gran Turismo Challenge...

Gran Turismo 3 and its Simulation Mode are regarded by many as the hardest one in the series. Yet again I tried my luck at another challenge run, this time attempting to beat the game without buying cars. Can I survive with only prize cars?

This is one of the CBT Experiences of all time

[@rizkirachm355]

What is CBT though? Can't be trusted?

Really now?

​@@KoeingseggCCMi ever done this challenge without buying a car in Gran Turismo 3 once.

[@burnoutknight5326]

The funny thing is, that B-8 test? It appears in several GT games. Even the first one had it and it's always just as painful as it was in this video.

[@ctrlcf]

GT7 has it too

[@Skarfar90]

A-4 in the original GT. The times were a little different (due to a shorter length), and you were using an R33 Skyline instead of the R32. But damn, the satisfaction of completing the gold time on that test. I have done it once, and it was amazing to finally pull it off.

[@JimmyProductions]

Currently trying to get gold on all GT4 licenses. Everything has been smooth up until THIS SAME EXACT TEST, A-13. So far it has taken me 3 days so far!

[@jerzygadzinowski9138]

​@@JimmyProductions PAL, or NTSC? I have PAL, it is hard to get bronze on many tests here.

[@moddudlar3894]

i remember playing gt on my dads ps1. the driving lesson kept me from playing it for longer

[@8x6apexdoubledoorshed37]

Over an hour of CBT, thank you Eden

[@damarfadlan9251]

Coco Hayashi also loves this challenge in GT3.

[@bdaubry]

Dude, 9:07-9:30 is the Gran Turismo experience in a nutshell. That is exactly why I play these games more than any other sim. I don’t get the kind of adrenaline rush from what I thought was an impossible task but hours later finally beating it than I do from Gran Turismo

[@GoshTimeBR]

I have an actual challenge for Eden, which is a "rammingless" and "grassless" challenge, where you're not supposed to ram the other drivers, and shouldn't go out of the track. If you do, you reset the race. That one might actually be impossible

[@InfernotheFox]

This challenge was impossible to complete from the get go anyway, but you are able to get incredibly close if you do it all correctly. The only car you would have to buy is a Mercedes-Benz as there's no event which gives you one as a prize car. That being said, I understand Eden's frustration, as GT3 was padded out to be LOOOOOOOOOONG as fuck. The closest me and my dad got to getting 100% was the Tuscan Cup, and we were already struggling when we got to GT All-Stars... and even then, the Super License was a pain to get.

[@onelonejackal613]

I can confirm for the Mercedes. I double-checked neoseeker's GT3 page that said the CLK Touring Car can be won with the Coliseum Endurance Race. The only cars that can be won are the Zonda Race Car, the Vertigo Race Car, the Delta Rally Car, and an F1. I was trying to do this challenge in parallel with a 100% completion goal, but I guess I'll have to buy a car for the Silver Arrows and the Tuscan Cup unfortunately.

[@TheRealfan1]

Also have to buy Tuscan Speed 6.

[@InfernotheFox]

@@TheRealfan1 Yes, but that's if you're going for 100%. Here, Eden was only going for both endings (Complete all beginner and amateur league events).

[@Journey_Awaits]

If you don’t count the dumbass complex test string challenges then you can go through it pretty quickly. I beat all of the campaign in about 2 weeks casually.

[@BlackKyurem5]

You could buy a Mercedes win the Mercedes from the beginner event and then win both with that. It doesn't make the idea of beating the game with Prize Cars only true but theoretically it could be done in that case.

[@TheRacePig]

I always thought complex string just looks like a track a developer threw together in a few hours as a test track during development, but they just kept it in the real game for some reason

[@re_negado]

8:35 Some tests were an absolute pain to gold, I assure you. Especially the one of the green 90's Camaro in the turn in Seattle after the three jumps, I missed the gold time by one millisecond *TWICE.* And by less than 10 several times.

[@blobbem]

Yep, that one sucked. I managed to 100% GT3 recently for the first time and I got gold on all the licence tests (PAL version, too). That Seattle one sucked way too hard. It required absolute perfection.

[@re_negado]

@@blobbem Yeah, it was hella painful, just imagine you forget to save after succeding. The difficulty that the game should have in the races is all embedded into the license tests in general and that mission in particular. Even the last one of the Toyota GT-One Road in Côte d'Azur is easier, you just need to use the manual transmission and there you have your gold time.

[@danoV1c]

Once again, James is popping off with the editing

[@TurboAnime]

7:15 Now we need a full version of "Bonk the Rocks"

[@ghost.8836]

[@JamVar]

This should absolutely qualify as practical driving experience toward your license, if you ever get one. You should at least get a discount - €1500 off, maybe?

[@kylecena5583]

I think the practical drivers test would actually be easier than some of the licenses on GT

[@Ozhull]

​@@purwantiallan5089 stop spamming that, wtf

[@alexanderrichards6403]

Wait yall gotta pay more than 1500 for your liscense over there?

[@Thunderboltthespidergen]

​@@alexanderrichards6403a driving license for a car can cost between 1500-2000€ depending what you pick

[@strikerecho2592]

Watching Eden get angry with the Monte Carlo race is both hilarious and painful at the same time.

[@javi_nitro]

note to self: never break eden or else he will break me with the 2147483647 suzuki escudo glitch

[@tkoss6242]

By watching this video, I have indirectly contributed to the semi-completion of this challenge. It was a pleasure working with you dustin

[@suprememeatbun]

My mother is very proud.

[@speedtracker9556]

[@andrasvarga2669]

Great CBT, this one brings back memories. My brother and i used to have you a rule that we cant start career until we didnt gold all the licenses at every playthrough. so yeah. it was a pain in the ass every time

[@formulabf1]

18:37 Take it or leave it

[@JoelLoaiza-qh4dx]

Leave it

[@francescoiuliano5690]

Like the EVO problem, in GT2 you cannot use the MR2 concept car in MR2 meeting

[@Leemacht]

You should do "Can you win GT4 without buying any cars?". Far less painful challenge.

[@abolfazlnozari679]

It's an instant loss You don't get a Truck as a prize car which you need for beginner camping

[@Mister-Mayor]

There's no used pickup truck in dealership either

[@hartonosutrisno5452]

Well, you are incredibly wrong about that, try play it 1st and you will realize that you still need to BUY some cars because there are no 2nd hand cars on some races you need and you should buy it no matter what rule is. The only exception is you only need to finish certain races, not the entire races as usual.

[@richardbhagan8949]

​@hartonosutrisno5452 You need to finish all the professional and beginner events to unlock the gt world series and you can't win a truck

[@edwardking9359]

​@richardbhagan8949 Actually, that's not quite true. There is one event in the game that gives a truck as a prize! ....... the problem is that it's the race you need a truck for in the first place.

[@tyler1365]

The only car you actually need to buy to 100% the game is the TVR Tuscan, all the other cars you need for manufacturer events can be won. The CLK touring car can be won from the 2HR rome endurance

[@Kyush4]

the clk cant be won from the rome endurance

[@embernape]

It is worth mentioning you can get a mercedes touring car from the rome 2 hr endurance so the 3 cars you bought (mercedes, altezza, type r) can all be prizes. The grind is still pain but it is possible.

[@jacobthefiend]

in the intro he had a stipulation to do no endurance races so as to not cheese the challenge early

[@KOSMOS1701A]

i'll give you this one, if you can't buy a car to participate in a race then you should be allowed to buy it. GG on this challenge my man.

[@edwardstevens4404]

I think this was one of the best Gran Turismo games they ever made. You did really great in the challenges.

[@ocularcavity8412]

Man I LOVED GT3, one thing holding you back is TCS and ASM it REALLY kills your lap times especially in the early (slower ) cars. This really take me back I used to play this game to DEATH in Highschool. The funny thing is I almost NEVER bought cars for most races (especially the lame ones) because i was a CHEAP @$$ and would just use the Prize cars with little or no modification to save money for my REAL dream cars it helps balance out the stingy prize money XD

[@graemesouthworth1034]

I remember tackling this challenge on GT3 about 2 years ago on an emulator. No buying cars and no tuning upgrades. It's brutal...but man is it a lot of fun. I'm shocked at just how much of the game you can complete. Props for taking a stab at it.

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

[@bobhopemaryjane2]

The Skyline test still gives me rage lol

[@legendaryocelot]

I tried to do this at one point because of an old forum post I found about this. I didn’t beat it but I got pretty far into it, nice to see you do it too!

[@Quantumwastaken]

A no spending run is impossible purely thanks to the Vitz championships. Prize car Vitz's give you a small horsepower increase over buying one from a dealer, but theirs no way of beating the AI espescially in professional Vitz championship unless you max out the car in the tune shop.

[@felipeferreira00]

Hell yeah man, another amazing video, so we can watch Dustin suffering in racing games so we can entertain ourselves :)

[@reacts]

The Panoz isn’t really easy to acquire. The good time for the Tahiti Maze in arcade is faster than the gold time in the licence test

[@BossIncorporatedGaming]

Really sexy use of Soul Surfer in the background during the B8 grind, I adore that song

[@DatOneCat]

As someone who has completed Professional League over the span of months of on and off play, I can say it's definitely not worth it unless you really just want the unique car colors that usually are given as prizes. The F1 specific cup in that league is a special mention on how absolutely painful it is too. Out of all the races that "???" one at the end that is the Formula cup is the one event that broke me and made me stop playing the game for a good while the first time. It was soo frustrating.

[@stiggyjr5936]

Love watching Eden slowly decent into madness

[@GandharKulkarni2000]

Dustin's adorable German accent is proof that German isn't some harsh language

[@philippmeier1659]

Changing the Oil before driving the first time gives even more HP. Should have done with the GT-One after the Upgrades😉

[@Roflwaffle16]

1:52 When you said that I knew this man had not remembered the 'Legend of Silver Arrow' event. Classic Mercedes, ruining everything lol 🤣 Regarding Professional League in GT3 - I think it can be fun if you stick to the 3-race events. They normally take anywhere from 45 mins to 1 hour to complete, not short but not crazy long either, and you can get some pretty awesome prize cars so I think they're worth trying out. The championships on the other hand require a real time investment so don't attempt them unless you're super committed to GT3. Most of the one-make championships are just garbage, don't bother unless you want a specific prize car or are gunning for 100% completion. 10 laps of the Test Course in a Yaris (and no emulator speed-up) is psychological warfare as far as I'm concerned 😬

[@kmsthanks]

hey its the gt7 guy

[@jamesspreadborough24]

This game is my childhood , I grew up playing gt3 and listening to my dad brag at how good he was lol 😅 now I beat his times on any racing games he puts in front of me 😂 love the videos keep it up bro😊

Love the Daiki Kasho song insert at the GTR test

[@adrielbgamingofficial]

When the game breaks you, so you break the game yourself 😂🤣 never laughed so hard at a DustinEden video like this before.

[@rlfpotatoking9253]

Most hilarious video I've seen on this channel! Also i have a suggestion you should play Test Drive Eve of Destruction (It's called Driven to Destruction in Europe), it's a super underrated gem that barely anybody talks about - basically imagine Wreckfest but in a semi-open world environment and there's a really good variety of different gamemodes.

[@nighthawk9532]

Awesome video my dude, I loved paying this game back when

[@Anigaming-dz5gh]

Very CBT Eden, thanks for the great video!

[@jacobrev6567]

[@joshz7712]

The challenge with only road cars im down to watch dude. Growing up i was always a Playstation dude so this was my go to racing game since GT1 way back in the day. I dont remember what once I've owned but I 100% all of them from all gold on licenses to all gold on cups.

[@GuntanksInSpace]

God lol the editing on the MR Challenge quip, 10/10

[@Outatime]

35:14 the cope one actually fits lol that shit funny

[@Firepulser]

lol the earlier prize cars the game gave out were all in Initial D. This is more because those cars are famous instead of being related to the manga/anime series but it is still a highly entertaining coincidence.

[@damarfadlan9251]

Thanks for this an hour of amazingness, Eden! Me and Coco Hayashi also ever done this hellish challenge in GRAN TURISMO 3!

I was in HS when this dropped, it was like this and the first fast and furious movie happened right as I was getting my license.

[@cjawesomegames]

I've been doing this accidentally for the past month now and I've been having a really great time. Haven't used a single purchased car in an event

[@TotalNinjaLover]

What an amazing and amazing looking game! It felt like games couldn't get any better when this first came out!

[@TheHardcoreLegends]

Ich liebe diese playthrough's 😁😁 gt3 war ein großer teil meiner Kindheit ❤

[@IRUKANJI]

The easiest way to start GT3 is to buy the used AE86 Sprinter Trueno GT Apex that's on sale for like 3000 credits at the used dealer and tune it. I hadn't even heard of Initial D and I was always starting with that car.

[@Darkshock25]

There’s no used car dealer in GT3. Only further games did that.

[@KiraSlith]

GT3 was my first introduction to Gran Turismo, and yeah, I got CR trapped twice. I wrote off the franchise until a friend gave me his copy of GT2 a year later, that game made me fall in love with the Dodge Intrepid and Cappuccino.

[@uPenguin]

I borrowed this game from my neighbour when I was about 8 years old and loved it, first racing game I ever played! It's funny seeing so many Mazda MX5s, because he now owns one and is in an MX5 owners club 😄 I guess this is not a coincidence 😅

[@jdbb3gotskills]

Why is the R32 license test such a pain in the ass in every GT that it’s in. I’m having trouble with the GT7 version of this test

[@ryanwilbur3554]

[@trevorpollo]

GT4 was my first experience into car racing simulators as a kid and I loved the game. I would use up my weekends doing the 12 and 24 hour endurance races. I remember putting tens of hours into the game so I could afford the XJ220 which was at the time the coolest car I had ever seen. I would have to say that GT4 was the game that started my passion for cars. Most of the cars in the game I had never even heard of before, but after playing the game I would get on our dialup internet and just look up one car after the other trying to learn all I could about all kinds of vehicles from all over the world.

[@jayyh_01]

as a pal gamer whos recently started reliving my childhood from this game, b-8 made me cry again

[@Skarfar90]

2nd comment. I am pretty sure you can get a DTM Mercedes CLK from the 2 hour Rome endurance, which you can use in the Silver Arrow races. You can also get a Type R Honda from the professional FF cup. A Spoon Civic Type R to be exact And the Altezza LM can be won from the professional Yaris cup. So all the cars needed can be obtained as prize cars ;)

[@alexisaguirrevazquez7900]

6:32 This 1 license test took me a total of 8 hours to get gold on.

[@PO55UM95]

I feel like Gran Turismo is just Dark Souls but racing. I feel like Miyazaki and Yamauchi are the same person but in two different genres 😂

Great job Edna, your pain feeds my soul. :)

Play driver San Francisco. Really fun mix of realistic and arcade freeroam and a unique mechanic.

For Type R Meeting, you could win Spoon Civic Type R from FF Challenge in Professional League. For Clio Cup though, you'd have to win it in Super Speedway Endurance (25% to get it).

[@bukkij40]

So now that you have beaten GT4 with non-japanese cars I think it might be time to be GT3 with non Japanese cars

[@FatheredPuma81]

I don't actually remember having any issues with GT3 as a kid. I kind of just grinded something I could easily beat until I could buy what I wanted. Always rode the walls too. I still remember running Super Speedway for $1k until I could buy the Mustang, and then racing it around Test Course in the Mustang for $5k until I could buy the Zanda for $300k.

[@Delimon007]

I actually am playing GT3 a bit now and the most hilarious thing ever is in the NA amateur league there is a literal C5R corvette racing with regular production vehicles. I actually beat it twice in the regular corvette with no NA engine tuning LOL! I'm gonna try again but I think I'm gonna fail, that thing is actually fast.

[@heedseeker6155]

For a video idea (if you really wanted to torture yourself for the challenge) you should see how far you can make it into playing some of the NFS PS1 games like Hot Pursuit or High Stakes. They both have the best soundtracks but they are the most unplayable racing games on Earth lol. I’ve gone back to both several times through the years trying to give them a chance and I have no actual clue how anyone can finish them.

[@irishwristwatch2487]

The most painful GT challenge is having a car on Sports tyres with more than 60hp in GT4 and having it not wheelspin in 3rd

I read I cried in the title and thought damn I knew these challenges were stupid and my rage justified

[@atomicbomb5000]

if I remembered correctly, there is a version of GT3 that lets you do Rally license right away. I think the NTSC version of the game. For whatever reason, I just feel getting the R license is easier than the rest lmao
