I Beat Every Non-GTA Rockstar Game PART 3

This is a Part 2 of Part 2 you could say of my series where I beat every non-Grand Theft Auto Rockstar Games game. In PART 2 (1/2) I went over Oni, Smugglers Run 2, Max Payne, State of Emergency and The Italian Job, and now we're back for 5 more. Today I discuss Midnight Club 2, Max Payne 2, Manhunt, Red Dead Revolver and Midnight Club 3. This series was additionally spit up because of how much longer the games are taking to complete, regardless, hope you enjoy.

[@reccollect]

It appears not all understand the title and meaning behind PART (2/2) (I don't blame you, it's confusing). I released "I Beat Every Non-GTA Rockstar Game PART 1 in December of 2021, which covered the first 10 Rockstar games. I then wanted to cover the next 10 games in a PART 2, but with these titles taking longer to complete, I chopped PART 2 into 2 parts. Thus Part 2 (1/2) containing 5 games and this video (PART 2 (2/2)) containing another 5. This is confusing I know, I'll make sure to make it more clear in the future. (2/2) does not mean I'm done with this series, I still am going to cover The Warriors Rockstar Presents Table Tennis Bully Manhunt 2 Midnight Club LA Beaterator Red Dead Redemption L.A. Noire Max Payne 3 Red Dead Redemption 2 This will most likely not be as a PART 3 but instead individually because some of them will take a LONG time. I will still play them all together, script them together, make connections and what not, but edit them one at a time and release them over the course of 10 weeks. Hopefully this clears up the confusion. Thanks for watching! Edit: Changed the other to PART 2 and this PART 2.5

[@Shaibuli]

Atleast for me, part of the confusion was caused by KZbin autoplaying this video straight after the first one. I think the videos are in reverse order in your Video Games playlist, which could maybe cause some of the problems? A completely own playlist for this major series would be nice too. Anyways, I hope you all the best and appriciate the effort. Really fun videos! You definitely have your own style, and that's great! A sub from me.

[@brutallyhonest123]

Looking forward to part orange.A

[@widowmakerx7]

Table Tennis is surprisingly good, I had a lot of fun with that game

[@morrison1292]

When? Im still waiting!! (No hate, just enthusiastic..)

[@donaldduckdid9118]

Need a continuation

[@JayySavgeeHoee]

You just described my childhood with Midnight Club 2, imagine a 4/5 year old damn near having a stroke cause he was finally able to get to the finish line without any BS 😂

[@royalty694]

Lmao craziest part is I played that and 3 when I was little and never raged😂😂

[@outlawdg]

I'm surprised people think MC3 is hard, I specifically remember it being a walk in the park compared to MC2 in my childhood

[@jellalshadow2318]

Yeah mc2 I’d much harder

[@xEclyptical]

There's been no other racing game than midnight club 2 that had me at the edge of a heart attack. I loved it.

[@III----------------------Ill]

The only downside with Midnight Club 2 is you can't color your vehicle like you could like in Midnight Club: Street Racing with so many color options but other than that it's a pretty solid racing game with excellent music.

[@TurboReiji]

9:07 10:02 not true. I've played some games that were way more harder and unforgiving than Midnight Club II prior to the game's existence. It's all about discipline and what you can improve upon your previous errors. 49:45 If you just want to beat Midnight Club 3 straightforward, just simply beat your rival racers (blue arrows) that are hanging out on the map. All the club (star on map) and tournament races are just to unlock car visuals and vehicles. Thanks for this cool video and not generalizing Rockstar with just GTA and RDR. It's really annoying when people claim to be hardcore R* fans but never played the games you've touched in this series. Been trying to find the time to try out Oni one day, you influenced me into making it happen sooner.

[@reccollect]

Thanks so much. Can’t thank you enough for the video and pinned comment for MC3. Thanks for the info on just beating the racers. I assumed that towards the end but I swear there were times where no racers where available and I had to jump in and out of tournaments/clubs to get them to spawn. Appreciate the help.👍🏻

[@overfeen]

Midnight Club II is one of the best racing games ever. Shout out for using Aurora by Nokternal, ine of my literal favorite songs ever and i found it thru that game.

[@dcrmr]

One thing I never see mentioned with Rockstar Games is the celebrity voice talent actually being good. For example, the tramp in Manhunt is played by Mark Margolis, who played Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. Or Starkweather, who's played by Brian Cox. Coincidentally, he played the first adapted to screen version of Hannibal Lector in "Manhunter."

[@andriki88]

I always like Brian cox because of manhunt lol. I was a 12 year with Brian cox telling me to, "kill him" over and over lol.

[@Illusive_man1990]

Bruh it's allways mentioned since it's tye first thing that shows you how good those games are

[@dominicvega9267]

[@YyouTTubeE]

Oh.. Shut up

[@TPD]

love these! great work. bit of feedback - id consider renaming this part 3, and your part 2 (1/2) to just part 2. this popped up in my reccomended first after watching part 1, and ive just now realised its part 2 of a 2 part part 2!

[@Insomnia-Demon]

I remember Midnight Club 2 I always loved the way they showed the cars with that wireframe design thing when your rivals spoke to you Great game

[@Blitzkrieg_Wolf]

Midnight Club 3 DUB edition Remix was my childhood; blasting Queens of the Stone Age, ripping through the streets in a Cadillac XLR with all mods added... sublime nostalgia.

[@Svenir]

Nice Screamadelica shirt at the end

[@Dyslexic_Mudkip]

i think youre right about people not going the bike route with mc3. a large portion of why that game is popular is becuase of the tuner car scene. movies like fast and furious and games like need for speed emphazied the use of the skyline so everyone wanted to be brian o connor growing up

[@jskylinegtr34]

Instead of getting the Monster for 13,459, i would pay like 10.5x the price for the Viper GTS-R Concept.

[@lemogrenade3669]

Damn how many PS2 controllers had to suffer. RIP to the fallen soldiers

[@coisnotpog]

With Midnight Club 2, i personally think your enjoyment level will go hand in hand with how good you are at racing games. Unlike MC1 the game is actually very fair just very difficult at the same time. I remember beating MC2 when i was a kid and i had a blast. I also liked the motorcycles a LOT. You do have to race clean with them, but it is so easy to squeeze between traffic, and hit narrow tracks than cars simply wont fit in. As a pure racing game i actually like it more than MC3.

[@sonny4978]

good stuff man

[@yaboiijebus]

midnight club 2 and 3 are some of the best racing games of all time, and although they can be difficult at times that alone makes them better imo

[@VikingPoodle]

This series absolutely rules. Your channel does too. Great stuff dude. Cannot wait to see what else you make.

[@Karmy.]

Seriously underrated

[@buzinessdog]

loving the hell out of this series. part 3 is about to go crazy

[@WhereArtThouBagel]

Awesome song choice during your Midnight Club 3 review, probably the track that stuck out the most to me and really helped me get into electronic music!! Amazing vid and series

[@jamesmclinden1481]

Midnight Club 2 is such a great game. Described my feelings playing through the game for the first time to a tee. Playing through the game again becomes a breeze with the knowledge you'd gained on the first playthrough. Giving you the confidence to bump up the difficulty and experiment with different vehicles. I think the PS2/ Xbox version is slightly more challenging due to the poor draw distance. Fantastic reviews on your experience with these classics. The racing games from Rockstar of old will always be among my favourite games ever. Good job :)

[@sohtak7208]

It’s a shame what happened to the MC series. MC2 was absolute peak. Fun races, cool characters, AMAZING music

[@wardragon670]

Good times

[@jamesmclinden1481]

@Merrick73Baby I though that the A.I was different but wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for explaining that. I guess that's why I had an even harder time on the PS2 version. :)

[@Squidhead]

MC2 for me was one of the most fun games to get good at. Partially really inspired by Reiji's runs as well, doing your first howhardcanitbe9 run really forces you to change how you approach the game and opens a new depth. Basically, learning how to play on manual gearing and that motorcycles are OP are some of the new things you learn.

[@xander9316]

It makes my younger preteen self feel a lot better knowing that I wasn't the only one that struggled so badly with the midnight club games.

[@jazzhandsdownthetoilet5838]

loving the screamadelica shirt at the end

[@gelatinouscatgirl8369]

Your opinions on Midnight Club 2 make me want to replay it now. I remember playing it as a kid, and finishing it without feeling too frustrated about it. And I also used bikes a lot, which felt like cheating to me because of their higher acceleration and small hitbox. But maybe I was just really patient back then and forged by all the janky early 00s games xD Love your videos keep up the good work!

[@Tranceenegry]

3:25 ZEN was my favourite... really disciplined, though, brave and honest guy.. he had a PERFECT BIKE too and this bike is the flying ticket in order to beat Savo.. yes with the bike ;)

Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix is one of the best racing games EVER MADE.

[@itsaustin1410]

I gotta say, I can’t imagine how much work goes into making these videos. Obviously the playtime itself is crazy for some of these but the production quality is just great, and you have a way of making the act of digital media preservation captivating. Hell, I never even though I’d watch an hour long video about Mountain Dew lol but your channel is that great. I’ve been around since all COD campaigns on veteran and all be here as long as you keep uploading 🤙

[@ricardoediza2690]

Let’s frickin go

[@richardnipples7574]

love the lil presentations for each game

[@gebsonsmith]

As far as I know, the combat in Manhunt is made purposely hard and ineffective in order to push the player to remain stealthy as much as possible

[@supermaster1325]

Thats why i didn't like his opnion and gameplay on the game, it's a steath game at is heart, not some edgy beat em up or a FPS game

[@DjFIL007]

Glad this series popped up on my feed. Never remembered Smuggler's Run... gonna check them out some time soon. I'm really looking forward to Rockstar Table Tennis, haha... it's one of my all time faves, it's also the only game I've ever rage broke a controller (100+ hit rally, then lost the point... AAAAAARGH).

[@joelosteen6960]

amazing content as usual

[@BrilliantBouncingBall]

phenomenal video. excited to see what’s next

[@sanityeyes5272]

I pray for you if you ever decide to do the GTA video and have to play through GTA 1. You're gonna need all the support you can get no matter how minor to deal with the nauseating camera, awful controls, one hit deaths, no mission retries, no pausing and the kicker in all this, no saving during the hours long stages.

[@darkhero-3097]

There’s a channel called Munt Chunk that actually did a retrospective on all five main games in the series a few weeks ago. It’s about 9 hours long…

[@austinallemand1882]

@@darkhero-3097 I've been seeing that floating on KZbin in my recommendations and I want to watch it but is it just GTA 1 through 5 or they talk about every GTA game?

[@darkhero-3097]

@@austinallemand1882 Just the mainline games, excluding spin offs, DLC’s, or games for mobile systems. It’s still a huge video that really goes in depth with the series

[@jeffschleg9665]

GTA Gameboy color

[@Xegethra]

The Max Pack allows save states, comes with both London games too. It's still GTA 1 though and a lot of it is still the same but some of the edge is taken off. It also runs on modern systems a lot better. GTA 1 was rough, but still decent.

Max Payne 2 is a masterpiece

[@michaelbarfield12]

Good choice for the intro music, Home is so good.

[@Scorpio19110]

On Manhunt. Devs surely considered negative backlash might be bigger than what it was for GTA, plus with Rockstar already being in the media spotlight, that’s probably the reason the game forces you to use weapons instead of killing enemies with gory, stealth kills. It kinda beats the nature of the game.

[@MrBoggy101]

I like these retrospective views of games. I remember thinking Midnight Club 2 was really hard, and this completely validates it. I loved this series. I completed MC2 and 3 on Xbox and 3 was the only racing game that matched Forza in that generation.

[@gtastuntman3486]

Midnight club 3 had me raging because I kept crashing into cars and the walls and I had to restart every race it was very stressful and I started to play again and i am almost beaten the game already

[@dickpenisman7265]

Jesus midnight club 2. I must have memory holed that game or something. I played that damn game constantly as a kid. And yeah the later races become ridiculously hard. I don't think I ever actually beat it. I still remember the cheat to shoot bullets and rockets out of your car. It's savethekids or something similar.

[@killmichbp]

Honestly Im sick and tired of GTA so its awesome to see somebody give the other Rockstar games some love and attention. Especially the old ones that havent gotten a game in over a decade now.

My sister, who rarely ever played games and probably hasn't touched one in over ten years, really loved Midnight Club 3. That and MC 2 were part of my childhood but I never played them much myself. I don't recognise much of it surprisingly. I do remember loving the customisation, though.

[@wsnt]
