10 Video Game Records That Can’t Be Beat

9. Beating Dark Souls With A Guitar Controller

Y'know, because Dark Souls isn't hard enough.

Not to Benjamin Gwin, anyway. Nicknamed Bearzly, Gwin took to the idea of re-mapping Dark Souls' core controller inputs to that of a Rock Band guitar, meaning things like the frets were used for items and attacking, whilst basic camera controls were placed on the pick-up selector and whammy bar.

As you do.

Weirdly, Bearzly didn't include the ability to block in his custom setup, instead relying on dodging and sprinting away from harm to make it through in one piece. The entire run took around 11 hours, and let's be honest, it's never going to be broken, because nobody in their right mind would attempt to play a Souls game with a plastic instrument.
