Twisted Metal 3 Is A Hard Game??

[@BigSlick98]

Thumper is the best vehicle in the game. His stats are pretty much perfect and his special can do tons of damage IF you leave a bit of space between you and the vehicle your using it on.

[@wallaceshawn-zk8iw]

Club Kid's special is sweet

[@binho2224]

@@wallaceshawn-zk8iw That prick is annoying! I was playing today, and he used a special close to me and other 2 enemies, we got stuck, shooting ourselves to death and we 3 died in its explosion. That lack of shield makes overtime specials, like his and outlaw's very useful.

[@Captain.Calcium]

14:45 Mr. Grimm fired 2 fires, 1 speed, 1 power, and 4 specials in 2 seconds... and all of them were rear attacks wtf

[@ACWall985]

probably a combination input dat can trigger it, ig the enemy AI can do it too 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@sweetpepino1907]

That shit was CRAZY

[@dr.pepperphdindeliciousnes1396]

I think it's because he's the smallest and easiest to kill. So the devs made him rapid fire to balance him out so he wouldn't be to quick to kill. It's fun to play CPU ally and select Mr. Grimm on Pure Lunacy mode and watch him just chuck weapons all over the place lol.

[@francisconieva5716]

Dont get near Mr grimm ass in tm3

[@Housesider]

The kicker about the rear attack spam is that he's actually doing _mostly_ what the player is capable of. The fire rate is essentially uncapped on the rear attack, so you can execute it about as fast as you can register the inputs for the command. The only thing limiting the player here is their dexterity and their special energy meter. But Grimm also fires multiple different weapons while doing rear attacks, uninterrupted, which I don't think any human could reasonably do without a programmable controller/input device/macros. In Twisted 4, the rear attack is even more busted due to a bug: if you have no weapons in your arsenal, whatever your last equipped weapon was can still be used in a rear attack, _even if you're completely out of ammo_. This works with all weapons, including specials and environmental weapons. The only limit here is again the special energy meter. You could theoretically pick up a Lightning, use it until you run out, then go somewhere safe and rear fire spam it to basically annihilate the whole map in seconds. You can also do disgusting shit like planting a ton of proximity mines in one spot/the same general area and seeing how far you can go before you crash the game 😂

[@Winabagel23]

It's definitely difficult. Having the shield in this game too would help immensely. Dunno why they didn't add it in.

[@siempreretorna]

Shield changes COMPLETELY the balance of the game and helps light-armored vehicles. Also, makes PVP battles loooooonger

[@binho2224]

One of the developers said it was lack of time, as they also had to do everything from zero, since SingleTrac had the rights to the engine and all assets.

[@danielfloresretamal2471]

lack of time

[@mauronavarro3209]

14:46 Tf insane combo

[@Housesider]

Using the Invisiblity (Up Down Left Right) helps tremendously on Pure Lunacy, as it's the closest thing you have to the Invincibility Shield, which was oddly removed from TM3, but returned in TM4. Whilst you don't become immune to damage when using Invis, it disables enemy aggro on you so long as you don't fire weapons near opponents or attack them directly. Good for regrouping when you lose 90% of your life bar in a picosecond due to random AI shenanigans.

[@TheKongdoo]

I honestly took invisibility as similar to the way it is in Mortal Kombat where it does literally nothing against the AI haha

[@mauronavarro3209]

I agree with u

[@binho2224]

@@TheKongdoo It is absolutely useful in most TM games. They immediately stop chasing you. I even use it in TM4 sometimes because it requires less energy than the op shield.

[@dwilliams658]

I used to play this game when I was a kid, I played them all except for the reboot from 2012. I don't remember this game being hard. And it's a game from the 90s ! You can't expect much. This was considered great gaming in my childhood.

[@TheKongdoo]

You have a great profile picture

[@BAGGStheAugmented]

Thumper is the best car in the game. Has the best overall stats. Good health, speed, damage, good handling. His special attack is incredibly useful in so many ways. And his special also does a TON of damage in the right circumstances. Best car in the game by far.

[@nickp6498]

Not as hard as 1 and 2 but definitely harder than 4. The good thing about 3 is that a lot of the enemies literally kill each other, like they all have friendly fire on so all the crazy shit they do on Hard mode ends up hurting each other. They’re in just as much danger as you are. You can’t say that about most of the other games in the series.

[@wallaceshawn-zk8iw]

Yeah 2 is really hard even on easy cuz of freeze & special spamming. Scott never fixed it through out the series!

[@dr.pepperphdindeliciousnes1396]

It's definitely difficult on Pure Lunacy mode. Especially with the shit characters like Roadkill and Mr. Grimm. It does get easier with practice and learning some exploits. But it's pretty fun overall and, you're right, pure lunacy mode does add some fun yet challenging gameplay. For even more of a challenge add some codes like super homing (triangle, left, down, right, up) or massive force (triangle, circle, down, left, up) or faster weapons (R1, R1, L1, L1, L1). Crazy action lol.

[@koopaklaw4605]

I like this Thumper better than TM2s, the special is way more fitting

[@binho2224]

and unique as well!

[@TheJohno95]

One thing I loved about this one was the Rob Zombie song on the first level! It's easy to get jazzed when that is playing. I know you'll get copyright striked if you played it. A pretty fun game all in all!

[@spectre_222]

Next you should play as Auger , Club Kid, or Hammerhead. These would all be difficult to play as on Pure Lunacy. (Club Kid - slow, low armor) (Auger and Hammerhead, slow, sluggish handling, giant target, melee specials.). It would be cool to see if you could do it

[@kratoscar2008]

Nice warm up. Now want to see that challenge I posted back then even more. Imagine fighting 7 at once!

[@arnifenrenso2940]

The way you dealt with primevil was top

[@neomaxmlc]

I hated this game the most due to the fact of how aggressively the gdamn AI goes after health. That was the worst thing I ever seen in a TM game.

[@wallaceshawn-zk8iw]

Wait until u c Sid Burn on the Oil Fields in V8...

[@binho2224]

⬇, L1 , ⬇, START , 🔼 is your friend, then.

[@ice44567]

This game is a lot of things but the death scream is perfection lol

[@NEEDbacon]

39:23 Fun Fact: for TM4 they had to redo his model because he's actually modeled to have that grin always.

[@MadMax55777]

I remember playing 2 and 4 in saloon, but 3rd one I completed recently, playing Warhog, 3rd one was weird as I read on web before playing that people hated it, after getting in, yeah, controls are a bit clunky and weapons are all different but it has its charms one thing I like is AI going for health, lol, computer moves alot sharper than in 1 and 2. Overall you did great!

[@Satoshi-qs9oi]

Arch loves your channel ❤

[@TheKongdoo]

I wish I knew who arch was :( I've never heard of that person

[@Livithen86]

Not sure it's a big coincidence but on the previous TM3 video you made playing as sweet tooth i commented a suggestion to play thumper next and here we are regardless

[@Senior_autismo]

In twisted metal 2 he could take half a players health bar with just one special.

[@koopaklaw4605]

"we're here with bad physics 3 again"

[@TheCanineContrarian]

If I remember right doesn't the Spaceship heal you too?

[@RedditAccount-ed3by]

do a review/impression of all the endings

[@DevaPein]

6:12 spectre has basically no life... chooses to go ater auger instead.... letting spectre get health... complains about it.... im not saying it cant be annoying.... but i mean... do you ever admit to just making poor decisions? You know what he would do. he was under half health and had 2 bars.... thats a you problem there... auger doesnt have a magnet on him dude.

[@Housesider]

Yeah, while it's definitely annoying that the enemies are turbo-focused on getting any available health pickups once their HP drops below a certain threshold, it's actually an example of properly done AI (the AI actually has a fight-or-flight instinct and cares about its self-preservation). What the AI does with the health pickups is precisely what the meta was for arena shooters in the 90s and 2000s, the best players would keep track of the world-state via mental timers of all relevant pickups (weapons, health, powerups) and knowing when to dip out of an engagement or be bullish and risk aggroing an opponent were vital skills for winning any games.

[@binho2224]

​@@Housesider those old quake competitive games! Hard to do a comeback after you die as your opponent would manipulate the resources. TM3 does require good target focus and commitment more than any other TM game. But they did make a cheat to make this less obnoxious: ⬇, L1 , ⬇, START , 🔼 . They still occasionally get health, as it is sometimes part of their pathing, but it turns of their programing to immediately go for it once their health reach a threshold.

[@coffee0093]

which twisted metal games are you looking forward to the most for this series? edit: thumper in small brawl is actually alot like this, if you get a boss near a wall you can nearly oneshot them with his special

[@sweetpepino1907]

They all heard you talking shit, they were RELENTLESS this playthrough. I've never seen the game pull this level of horseshit before, but I don't play on pure lunacy much

[@yellowcard425]

I like Old Thumper Better too and not a huge fan of TM3 but TM3 Thumper is actually pretty good. His special is pretty strong. TM3 has the ugliest and worst Sweet Tooth in the entire series

[@rexjolles]

The first one was impossible

[@wallaceshawn-zk8iw]

Gunna get a CPU Ally?

[@TheKongdoo]

No the CPU ally doesn't let you see the ending as far as I can remember.

[@NEEDbacon]

@@TheKongdoo Is that really such a loss though?

[@Housesider]

@@NEEDbacon The CPU ally is also just terrible. Doesn't matter what difficulty, they are braindead and never really help you much beyond just being another target for the enemies. I don't remember if it's the case in this game but in some of the games with this feature, if the CPU ally died, you lost a life from your own pool to boot.

[@binho2224]

@@NEEDbacon True! I end up skipping the ending anyway. 30 seconds of stupid CG that we already know its so bad.

[@PatrickFrerking-u8r]

Lol bruh thumper is OP if you know how to use his special.

[@PatrickFrerking-u8r]

2nd level after he died and then destroyed everyone. "This level is easy." LOL your just trash. But, I played so much I could beat it with Mr grim on hard
