Playing Dark Souls 3 with voice commands goes about as well as you'd expect
Playing Dark Souls 3 is tough enough with a regular controller, but trying to play it with voice commands is… wait. I feel like I've written about this before. While YouTuber Slimecicle isn't the first person to try playing through a Souls game with naught but voice recognition software, his attempt doesn't go quite as smoothly as bearzly's incredible Ornstein and Smough fight back in the original Dark Souls.
I'm going to blame most of that on Slimecicle's significantly less precise voice setup (it really does not want him to roll) and the fact that he hasn't tried the Iudex Gundyr fight 111 times yet. Practice makes perfect!
Meanwhile, at least one person has killed Dark Souls 3's final boss at level 1 with no armor, dodging, or blocking. But can they do it with voice commands?

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
