If you wanted a bit of a caveat, you could have went full upgrade to win the permanent "black market" upgrades, then run stock on everything else for the rest of the game ETA I suggest the rx7 for that

Are you playing on PC or emu?

Finally saw menu that told me, nice! Gfx were top! End of!

Yeah, it just checks if you purchased them, and doesn't care if you installed them :D

I had no idea this was possible, so technically you can follow even stricter rules than my run here 👀 Do you know if the tournament cars will still be upgraded even if the player car isn’t?

I should've read this before I did my own challenge. T_T

@@TheGamingDefinition as far as I know they will be upgraded yes👍🏼, it makes some of the late game tournaments quite difficult, especially the drag tournament that happens late game

I could create a plugin for the game that disables this prompt. I remember messing with this at one point and finding this piece of code and wondering what it's about.

The city looks absolutely amazing. Especially with "proper" hardware, aka. a relatively small CRT and a PS2/XBOX. In newer games, despite the "photorealistic" graphics and huge textures, it's almost as if they never even think about how the environment ACTUALLY looks like in practice. Headlights and streetlights are just there. Buildings are just buildings. Billboards are billboards. Have they never looked at the headlights, and thought that maybe they could add just a little bit of glare and tracing? Maybe the buildings could have some simple ornaments that make them look more alive? How about using different hues and varying contrasts in the textures of certain elements, rather than just automatically relying on modern lighting and real time shadows to do the trick?

Agreed, though the Miata is best at drift. It's not great on track due to lack of power and terrible gear ratios. Peugeot 206 and RX-7 are the two cars to run. Also don't widebody the RX-7. It's better to have a lower width profile to get through tight situations.

It used to be even worse in the beta version. I think the testers sucked at the game so rubberbanding wasn't that apparent maybe.

Love the little bit of insight, that makes a lot of sense!

Did NFS Most Wanted also use 16-bit values to define wall positions and sizes? Because I remember not only crashing while wallriding, but also seeing Kuru having done the same thing.

@@linkskywalker5417 Yes it did.

Based RA2 enjoyer, I did the same thing with my dad back in the day!

This comment meant a lot to me, when I set out to complete challenges I really give it my all, for better or worse :) Fortunately this didn't drag on to the point of unleashing my temper/frustration too much :P

Kuru won drag races against boss so it was 1vs1. There are 3 oponents so you have to be super super super super super lucky to crash 3 of them. I am not sure it's even possible.

@@smaajlik2423 If you check for user "Crycalo", he did it. Just took him 10h of retries 😄

My point was that it’s impossible to win this traditionally, you can only win if the AI crashes

@@smaajlik2423not super rare unless traffic is off. from my experience it's about 1 in 10-20 races all of them crash. Depends on the track too i guess but still.

Big bro. Still waiting to see you playing MW3

You won't see me play that mate I've quit CoD content, sorry@@yaosergeyao1720

I wish someone would look into the game files to solve this. Maybe it's related to unique performance upgrades you've skipped?

@@p0werfu11It's related to specific cars. It's always the same cars that ignore the player car performance settings. Highlighting it's either intended to force the player to upgrade or just bugs missed when testing.

Thank you! I always appreciate comments like these :)

Hey friend! I posted a most wanted video a couple of months ago, the thumbnail has the punto and bmw gtr :)

Also play underground-2 too.

Awesome not too worried about whether or not titles and whatnot are sorted yet. Just need that TGD TV fix

I'm glad you appreciate them, I just like a cheeky chinwag here and there :P

I was laughing at this during the editing process, glad you liked it :)

You have to laugh because otherwise you’ll cry 🤣🤣

They are indeed easier with downgraded cars. Checked it out myself a few years back (couldn't win against the AI unfortunately if I didn't downgrade)

That would be an incredibly tough challenge in any racing game, but would be a fantastic achievement. I think I’ll keep it in mind but avoid it for now as that would be very time consuming 🤣

Melissa gave me nightmares for weeks. As for the final drag race, I’m 99% sure it isn’t possible to win traditionally without upgrades, they’re all fully upgraded & even with perfect driving the stock r34 isn’t fast enough. I tried about 20 attempts without upgrades and it led nowhere, even when employing many different strata

@@TheGamingDefinition Melissa will give you ptsd loll and okay I gotcha, I guess that's just a hard as hell scripted race

I found that not installing Nitro makes all those races significantly less frustrating.

Not true. Maybe so in the early races but not at all later on OUTSIDE of the tournaments.

@@TheGamingDefinition Huh, never really knew about THAT far in. I just remember seeing something about Kurt's Killer Ride and downgrading to stock, saying something about AI performance being stock.

@@bobert9246I know what you mean. I believe it’s ColorShed’s nfs underground 1 review and he talked about Kurt Killers ride. He said the tactic is to turn your car to stock. My answer is probably that it’s a glitch or he just got lucky

Love to hear it. Tomb Raider 2 Skidoo theme

Thank you. I won't be trying/playing CoD or making content on their games anymore, I'm done.

Hey thanks, I got fed up with people commenting negative things, calling me a hacker or asking me to play CoD again. I've quit CoD & I'm in the process of moving away from it completely.

Hello Rob, welcome!

Thank you very much friend :)

I bought the game, I have a few other challenges to edit first before I give it a go, but I’ll try my best with it!

Good choice, very fun game from start to finish

Will have to get it installed first!

@@TheGamingDefinition I recommend you do some of the star events because you need to level up your star rating until the end of the game because of DVD covers soo you need at least an 10 star rating.

It's hard to only ever use pistols as I don't think every mission has access to them, might take a look though

Very unlikely, I don't plan on playing multiplayer games for content. Singleplayer challenge content is a lot of fun for me personally

Surprisingly wasn’t the worst opponent!

I’ve genuinely quit that for good

@@TheGamingDefinition Ahh man, you’re literally the only guy I watch for COD content. My heart genuinely hurts to hear you say that. I know MW2 was fkn dog shit but I wanted to see what you think of mw3. I just wished they’d put the mw2019 engine into mw3. These lot are fkn twats

Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened. I appreciate the fact you viewed those videos though thank you. I recommend: Nate Gibson, ExoGhost, Strahfe or Eefan if you want a similar style of content to what I used to make :)

I've quit CoD multiplayer and have no intention of going back to it. I might make singleplayer challenge videos on the franchise, or revisit spec ops, but that's it, the content I used to make is gone for good. The games have become something I no longer enjoy and barely resemble the games that made them great in the first place. There's no place for MnK on the modern CoD games either.

@@TheGamingDefinition I'd like to hear your thoughts in a video summarising everything, would be interesting to see your perspective and what were the final blows as well as how much enjoyment you're getting from alternative games. It doesn't need to be over cod footage. Would be nice, up to you of course! If you want to just leave it as that it's fine. Btw do you like platformer games?

I respect it, I keep getting sb's still even in the new one, its quite ridiculous game, ever tried other games like rust?@@TheGamingDefinition

@somerandomfellow8321 honestly I’m so done with the franchise that even doing that is more effort than it’s worth IMO, nothing is going to change so I’m just moving on :)

@@TheGamingDefinition Fair enough, I respect that. Some people quit cigarettes one day and never look back and don’t feel the need to explain it to anyone. You still going to play any online FPS games or just single player ones?

Because it's better

​@@TheGamingDefinition really? to this day I was sure that the Eclipse was better in NFSU, but the Skyline was better in NFSU2. then again I haven't played either in a decade. thanks for the response!

The eclipse might be better than the skyline with upgrades, but without, I found the skyline to be far better. At least in the final race, my main goal was to blast past the other racer at the start as that’s the only opportunity to overtake

No it doesn’t, it does NOTHING to the car performance I already checked.

Why are you telling me this when I stated I'd use the MX5 to make things a bit harder?

No

@@TheGamingDefinition 🥺

Don't care how fast it is when it's that ugly lol. Teslas are fast af too right? Wouldn't want one because they're ugly

UG1 definitely poses a better challenge than UG2 which makes it better IMO

No I won’t try it, I’ve quit that style of content for good.

damn dude :(@@TheGamingDefinition

Nope

@@TheGamingDefinition 😔you will be missed.

Call Of Duty is over & has been over for a while on the channel. A reminder for those that don't know, I have quit CoD, I won't be playing/trying nor creating content on MW23 nor any CoD multiplayer moving forward. I'm done with the franchise, I'm done with my old content format, I have no love/enjoyment for it anymore & am happily making moves with what I do now. It's trial and error for sure, but the positivity & love I've been receiving with this new content has meant I'm actually able to read comments & engage with the community again. CoD videos were plagued by negativity & unwarranted hate, if I chose to look at the comments I'd be blocking people more than engaging with anyone, not worth the time. Now I'm able to have weird & wonderful conversations of all different natures, share passion & love for the games being played, or find out new & interesting information on the topics at hand. I turned off comments on most older CoD videos as I don't want to see any of the above negativity anymore, hackusations, or if they weren't based in negativity, it was just people asking for class setups/video settings/sensitivity lmao. Besides, none of the comments are relevant to what I'm creating moving forward anyway. All the videos will stay public & I'm sure there's a lot of good stuff on the channel you probably haven't seen yet. I appreciate some of you have been saddened by this news, it's hard to wrap my head around the fact that some of you are even remotely bothered by me no longer continuing CoD, but I know from my own personal experiences that it's weird when a creator you watch suddenly makes content on different games or switches things up completely. It means a lot to me to see that some of you care as much as you do, I cherish closely the fact you enjoyed the content I used to make, but I have truly decided it's for the best that I move away from the content I used to make, this isn't a decision that's happened overnight, I was considering this very motion ever since my first shadowban from MW2019 back in mid 2020. To further reinforce my decision, back when I actually had contacts at the company, in email correspondence "Corruptivision" kept putting the blame on me for getting reported instead of them taking responsibility for their incompetently constructed, EXPLOITABLE tempban/shadowban system. It always meant I'd be gaining momentum with content/streams, just to lose it all because I couldn't play for a week. Now imagine if you were in my position, it wouldn't make you feel secure in your job position would it? It isn't sustainable to play older CoD games anymore either as they keep pulling the plug on content, servers & other things, they eventually become security risks as vulnerabilities are exposed, new ones frequently temp ban you for a week just for being good at the game, they aren't even fun enough to warrant enduring this nonsense. CoD clients have too many hardcore veterans that ONLY play those respective games with the tryhard weapons every single game, no variety means it isn't fun like OG matchmaking, yeah sure you used to occasionally find those players, but on clients you'll end up against them every game, or if they ARE on your team the server will empty in minutes. I like a challenge, I like close grudge matches against skilled/talented individuals & testing my own strategies & individual skill against theirs, a back and forth tug of war if you will, you win some you lose some, but not every single match on old, clunky severely outdated game(s) The channel isn't shifting entirely to a focus on racing games however, I want to put my FPS & gaming skills in general to use, crafting unique or vastly difficult playthrough challenges, add the odd achievement hunt here & there too for good measure. But I want to maintain consistently keeping the entertainment/production value as high as I can consistently maintain myself. I'm also trying to improve my content a little each time, fix something that I did wrong last time or maybe just improve upon a previous entry. Lastly, I'm considering finally changing the channel name to something a little shorter & more personalised to me, I will be brainstorming ideas until I find a name I 100% like. Thanks for reading & thanks again for aiding me in doing what I love for all these years! Don't be sad CoD is over, be happy it happened, I'm happy to have had you all along for the journey so far, but here's to different avenues & better opportunities!

If you only want to see CoD, time to unsub

No it isn’t 😂 stop being a snowflake

@@TheGamingDefinition what do you mean snowflake? dark souls is very very rarely unfair. its just difficult

I wasn’t saying it’s like dark souls in that sense, I meant it was difficult to the point of becoming a souls like of the racing variety. Meaning one wrong move and I lose everything like a boss battle

Not true, no.
