As a game player for generations of online games, if you want your dad who has never played a video game to challenge his first game in his life, I believe most people would not choose DarkSoulsHoweveroverseasYouTuber”Babe1Babe2″challengedhis69-year-oldfatherAftermorethanninemonthsoflongjourneyhisfatherfinallybrokeDarkSouls
“Dark Soul” is a dark style RPG released by FromSoftware producer Hidetaka Miyazaki in 2011. It is well-known for its difficult game design and is also the classic starting point of “soul games”. The series trilogy has accumulated fans from the niche market for many years. Whether it is character operation, map design and lack of prompts, the game has made death a common occurrence. Many traps and boss killing moves are called “Eigao’s kindness” by many players.
Therefore, in May this year, Babe1Babe2 and his father broke Dark Souls under the witness of many live viewers. This series of hard but never-give up challenges made his father named “GigaDad” by the audience. The starting point of this long torch journey originated from Babe1Babe2’s father told himself that he believed playing video games was a “waste of time.”
“One of the reasons I object to playing games is that the time spent on playing games will continue to increase, which will ruin your life.” GigaDad mentioned his views on playing games in his review of Babe1Babe2’s film, but his ideas gradually changed after nine months of challenging “Dark Soul”.
Of course, as the first video game in GigaDad’s life, the difficulty of “Dark Soul” is undoubtedly the level of hell. Whether it is attack or equipment system, the biggest trouble of GigaDad along the way seems to be the operation of perspective, so learning to use a controller for a limited time every day is a big difficulty.
Judging from the film record, GigaDad plays “Dark Soul” with Babe1Babe2 live broadcast at a fixed time every week. He gradually gets used to fighting. Because he is not good at dodging, he chooses to use heavy armor and shields for equipment. In many cases, he relies on drinking water to withstand damage, and upgrades step by step under the guidance of his son, and slowly finds how to guide the boss.
Then, after more than 1,400 deaths, GigaDad finally faces the final boss of Dark Souls Gwyn. The last challenge is to lean against Gwyn against Gwyn, allowing him to drink water and attack without distraction, and finally chop down Gwyn to complete the entire break.
GigaDad said when asked by his son that while he was conquering the four kings of BOSS, he specially called his wife (Babe1Babe2’s mother) to see how he beat the king. The reason was actually very simple, because GigaDad wanted to share this experience and journey with his family.
“I’m already stuck in it, so I want her to witness my experience.” GigaDad’s answer made Babe1Babe2 empathize, because accompanying his father on this challenge was also of great significance to him.
“For me, family is the motivation for me to do anything.” GigaDad explained that no matter which time I spend with his family, it is the motivation for his challenge, including Dark Souls. “It’s the same this time. As a result, I have learned a lot about video games and benefited from it.”
At the end of the video, Babe1Babe2 asked, “Why did you decide to challenge this?” GigaDad replied to a very touching parent-child conversation.
“Because I love you,” GigaDad said frankly. “I learned many years ago that if you want to have a good relationship with someone, you shouldn’t convince him to do what you want him to do, but you should do what they want to do. When you ask me to challenge, I was flattered because I never thought you would ask me to do it, after all, I’ve been so opposed to playing games for years.”
“Anyway, I’m retired, and I can’t think of any reason not to do it, so I challenged it.” GigaDad emphasized: “You are the reason I challenged, not the game itself.”
