Notice that when crossing the 100.000 points mark on a single drift, it says "Drift King" in blue letters 7:35. The magazine cover also reads "Drift King". Is that coincidence or might that be the actual, less obscure requirement for the magazine?

Honestly just using a fully tuned Impreza will make getting this surprisingly easy even with poor angle management. That car is somehow capable of maintaining angle insanely well on its own, requiring little countersteer. Only time you do need it is when you do reverse entry drifts which are both not counted by the game as a drift and is stupidly easy to pull off. 120 degree entry is just the norm on hairpins. But yes it is the hardest magazine to get because of developer oversight.

Hey, that's a nice and interesting video, keep going pal!

I’ve got one for you. This is difficult, but nowhere near as bad as Carbon. There are challenge cards that each require you to “fill your garage with tuner cars, fill your garage with muscle cars, fill your garage with exotic cars” If I remember correctly, that would mean that IF you wanted to complete all of these challenge cards to unlock their respective rewards for quick race, AND get the pink slip to Angie’s Charger, you would have to grind enough money (at start of the game race pay) to buy 25 of each of the starter cars BEFORE taking on Angie.

I don't know what game you've been playing, but quite recently (a few months ago to be exact) I made the attempt at 100% reward card in NFS Carbon. The garage has 8 spaces, if I remember correctly, and your entire career, if you are good enough and "frugal" will allow you to earn well over a million dollars, easily enough for 5 additional Mazda RX-8s (assuming you start with a Tuner), and then take a quick action and buy 8 Camaro SS and 8 Alfa Romeo Brera. There is no condition for keeping the boss's car in the garage, and even if you want to keep it, it makes little sense. Additionally, the Collector's Edition (which in the times of Windows 10 is available to everyone) allows you to use these cars in a quick race mode (additional or bonus category). A bigger challenge is definitely the total cost of tickets collected, which you can't see until you get caught, and 50,000(or it's 20,000?) is a bit much, knowing that after the entire game I barely got 5k. The second more interesting card is 20 defense races. The entire career won't give you that many (they won't generate), and after completing it they don't appear either. You need to leave one race (better not the one with Darius) and enter and exit it until the defense race kicks in. 50 fights with other gangs is also annoying, but it takes about 2 minutes for one such criminal(nice one Google Translate) to spawn after leaving the hideout. Apart from the cards, this game has one more puzzle. Despite completing the game 100% and collecting all the reward cards (I admit, I used ExtraOptions to choose more cards from the bosses), I still don't have one hood and a few wheels. These are not multiplayer items, I unlocked them by changing the trigger to obtain them.

@Yaz27

7 ай бұрын

It's not exactly difficult, I managed to do it on the vanilla game. Started with muscle cars and ended up completing the entire game (apart from Darius) with Angie's Charger. Gave me enough money for the 1 million cash achievement, and then did the Tuner/Muscle/Exotic garage achievement. Still had enough left over to buy 3 Tier 3 cars and max them out after all this lmao

@Lili98FE

7 ай бұрын

There's a way to do fill the garage with all types with glitches on any platform while fulfilling the 1 million cash requirement and having bosses' cars: 1. Unlock all races in career mode on any save. 2. Start a new game, pick Brera because it's the most expensive starter car. 3. Unlock 240SX from challenge series because it's the cheapest car. Now, for the glitchy part, there's wrong warp. You go to the quick race, select a race available in career mode (canyon stages of boss fights count as well) and escape out of the difficulty/traffic/opponents menu. Then you load a save that doesn't have it unlocked, go to free roam, drive to any of the events, select it and finally, change wingman. Now you're in the race that you selected in quick race. That's how Carbon's WR for NG+ is 9:25 - you just beat the tutorial and immediately select the last canyon with Darius. Now, with that knowledge: 4. Accumulate money by beating events in Silverton even though you don't have them unlocked (technically you need 280k, but at the start garage is actually less than 8 spaces, I don't know when it's expanded). 5. Fill the garage with Breras, then repeat the process for Camaros and 240SXs. 6. With one car only, trigger a game over by getting busted too many times. 7. Go back to the main menu and start the career. Now you have all the garages reward cards and can get a million by relying on boss cars and Nikki as a wingman. As @Peter97ptr said, defence races are a real challenge and clearly nobody even tested if 20 defence races are easy (well, it's marked as medium) to achieve, it should be 10.

I never even knew that magazine 22 was actually hard to achieve. Congrats on putting so much effort to get this magazine. The need for speed community is very appreciative here. Well done homie ❤ 🐀

The problem is you can't increase your rep score, Idk why. I tried by winning several races using 2 PCs to race myself, but there's nothing to do. Your score will be always 100!

Till date, I still use this game to humble a lot of my friends who are snobbish about their superior driving skills, just because they are good at Sim Racers. The brutal and inconsistent Rubberband AI adds to the Street Racer vibe at times. Most cars you will come across in a Street Race scenario are probably going to be unevenly matched with your car in terms of Performance, and Driver skill.

I completed the game many, many times but I only got that magazine once and never again. I got it on accident during an rx7 playthrough which in hindsight makes sense considering how well that car drifts.

Realy nice vid, gj!

Love the summoning salt rip!!! Did yall get the Torte yet??

Good research!

I never knew it was difficult to get this magazine lol 😅 drifting was always my favorite event.

Do remember the magazine cover, so I've definitely got it at some point during my many runs of NFSU.. I also loved chaining drifts for the whole event, so that might be a reason :D

What an underrated youtuber

I actually enjoyed this. I went into it sincerely thinking it was gonna be a nostalgia-bait time waster. It was excellent. The Summoning Salt reference was kino, as well.

Miss this game so much. I always drove the eclipse too. Might have to see if I still have it.

I didn't even know this was a problem. If you did heavy drifting you could chain the whole drift for a full 10 laps on the longest track. Wasn't that easy but with certain cars it was easier than others. As such doing a 4 lap chain was not something that was very hard if used to doing 10 lap chains. Given the scores count on the final lap that way you always will unlock Mag 22.

Bro's drifting an AWD car hahaha. Love this game

Awesome video! :D

your driving is immaculate

I spent all my middle school years playing this game 1&2, made sure I did everything there was to do. Back then I was a completionist now not so much. 😂 still love the video though brother! ❤

Damn. I just got it for the first time ever, by accident. In the second drift event. Taking out the transmission to help with acceleration just to keep up on hard was a God send.

hey a huge fan of ur vids and i am playing undeground now so i dunno how to use cheat codes so can you plz teach me?

I remember that magazine that was hard to get good job yea when I was young I played that game every day I didn't like to drift back then but I started getting better and better and then I remember seeing that no. 22 magazine after I finished that drift lv back then idk it was impossible to get like wow that game brings me back young vibes

I finished nfsu2, most wanted, heat, and the all the newer ones pretty much all 100% achievements spent hours as a teen playing these games and now as an adult I still play them from time to time

damn bro been playing NFS Underground PC since 2004 that's dedication right there

bless you for this

2:07 lol bro bought the book. Haven't seen one of them since n64 days. I still got my OOT and MM books.

Great video man, got a sub from me even if you don't make another video ever again 😂. I remember doing a "100%" run of NFSU just before starting college and i wanted to finally get that last magazine i could never get as a kid. By deduction and without guides yet, i guessed it was "Set a Drift Track record" because i had every other magazine already, but when i wasn't able to get it even on the longest track with 500.000 (N°6 i think), i started searching and........ DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING USEFUL XDDDDDDDD. Well, at least i was able to confirm that i needed the drift record one and not another unrelated thing. At that moment was when i decided to experiment on Track N°6 with doing more than 100.000 per lap in all laps and it clicked for me, maybe i needed all 500.000 in one single lap (i was thinking of 500.000 because of the drift king archivement on Carbon) but when i got over 200.000 in one lap i got the magazine, i could get a higher count but i was stupid hard drifting for more than 3 laps for me so there it was, finally a "100%" file that i still play every now and then. Sorry for all the text and i hope this video get set as a reference to those that need to get that magazine and complete the game in the future 😎

I completed the game several times and always got all the magazines. I never even knew what to do specifically to unlock them.

Nice drifting miss this game

I loved the RX-7 on this game! (On the test track, I achieved a 7.2s quater mile with it) but for drifting mine had the habit of trying to bite me. I guess I know a bit more about suspension geometry now, so I might actually be able to tune that out of it

I honestly liked Underground more than underground 2, nostalgia because for me it was the one that started it all

I never realized that mag 22 was considered difficult I had just gotten it while playing and never thought anything of it

Our clan called GamersGeneration or GamersGen had lot of good drifters & drag racers from UG1 and UG2 whose records are still unbeaten till this day. I have to find my old racing profile rotting on some DVD i backed up in 2007 pretty sure we unlocked all achievements.

Today I learned Magazines had actual requirements to get them. Goddamn.

I remember doing that and had to call my friend to see just to believe me

Very good

I think they made a mistake but also made some that had us questioning for years like an easter egg and indeed,it was.

I think devs made that mistake intentional, that's why its very hard to get Magazine 22. This is my opinion

Or that bug in NFS Carbon on GC that don't give you some rims because you completed the challege series

Been forever since I played but as I recall the eclipse is 4wd which can drift ok but is a bit grippy. Fwd is the worst, Rwd is best. RX-7 does great but it's heavy and hits walls more because it's bigger. The Miata is best overall but is twitchy and takes constant corrections. Set tires to stock, or just one level higher. Also best to use manual transmission and aim to stay in 2nd gear mostly. You got sick skills!

Man I had so much time in this game!!!

Why they won't remaster these games is beyond me. The drift mechanics were amazing especially given the age of the game, you really got a sense of the car having weight and momentum, spinning the tires up and down. If I recall, there was also physics for FF, FR, FA, and I think even MR as the Toyota MR2 was in NFSU 1 and/or 2. The eclipse he's driving here is FF, fwd, which are tougher to drift since you have no power to the rear wheels. Drifting is really meant to be done with RWD or AWD, much more enjoyable experience.

I wish I had my old save game for underground. 😔 I used to drift the whole 4 laps for fun. I am sure this magazine was unlocked.

What about the one that says it's a cover for the August magazine? I don't think I've ever gotten that one, I have gotten the #22 but only by accident, never knew what the requirement was.

I just unlocked all the magazines by doing every event on Hard, I wasn't even aware they were basically achievements, I thought you just earn them at various points in the career.

i unlocked it without knowing that it was that hard , cause most of the time i put Drift & drag in hard to get alot of points

I can't imagine what it felt like to see this video get over 150k views wirh less than 1k subs. This is a very rare thing to happen.

I dumped so many hours on it and never checked what magazine 22 is and somehow got it with just a massive score drop for drifting.
