The game is clearly not hard enough with a regular PS4 controller, so someone decided to go the extra mile

Apparently, someone completed Blodborne using a Guitar Hero controller, as if the game wasn't hard enough using a regular DualShock 4 one.

The PlayStation 4 exclusive role-playing game comes from the same team that created Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Dark Souls 2, which means that the game is brutally difficult, demanding impeccable timing, a lot of dexterity, and inhuman precision.

This is precisely why someone thought that the stakes should be raised by using a Guitar Hero controller, forgoing the usual route of having proper movement and camera control in favor of making the entire experience insanely challenging.

The video below shows a fight against the Shadows of Yharnam boss, a difficult one due to the fact that you're dealing with three different opponents at once.

That means that you need to keep your eye on them all in order to be able to avoid their attacks, made even more difficult by the fact that YouTube user gbbearzly is determined to use anything but the proper control scheme for enjoying the game.

Bloodborne has sold over a million copies according to Sony, in both retail and digital sales, making it one of the PlayStation 4's best-selling games. If you're curious what makes it such a compelling experience, you can check out our review of Bloodborne.
