10 GENIUS Ways People Beat Video Games
8. DDR Dance Pad - Bloodborne
In the late 90s, arcades started to find new popularity with an experimental rhythm game that differed from the classic arcade cabinet. This was Dance Dance Revolution, a game that asked you to dance along with it by following the directions to the beat.
Since then, game mats have been created for at-home use, and the game has found life both in arcades and consoles. So, of course, people needed to find services for it other than just dancing.
By setting up each direction of the dance pad as a controller, gamers around Twitch and YouTube have been able to play all kinds of games. Including one of the hardest of recent years: Bloodborne. YouTuber ATwerkingYoshi first beat the Cleric Beast using the odd controller. But it wouldn't be until later that the game would be defeated.
A year afterward, Twitch streamer Luality attempted the same challenge, but this time, beating the whole game. This sounds extremely difficult, but she makes it look easy. Reaching the last level and making it to the DLC’s final boss, Orphan Of Kos, with minimal deaths. This fight is already significantly hard by traditional means, and it even proved a challenge for someone like Luality. But, through perseverance and a lot of dancing, she was able to take it down.
Bloodborne might be one of the most challenging games of recent times, but people will always find a way to go beyond.
