Git Gud with Knighton – A Gaming Show By The Youth And For The Youth

Git Gud with Knighton – A Gaming Show By The Youth And For The Youth
Video games have boomed in India during the past few years, thanks to the accessibility of network and hardware. As a gaming company, there isn’t really much more that we could wish for, but something feels amiss. In the pursuit of excellence, we forgot that video games were meant to be fun. So when it came to promoting a positive and inclusive gaming environment, we were supposed to take the logical steps to raise awareness, make a petition and yada yada. But did the opposite. We got a bunch of our favourite influencers and video game newbies and pitched them against  Iduex Gundyr, the first boss of Dark Souls 3.  The goal is to survive as long as they can to claim the title and ‘Git Gud’, a play at ‘Get Good’. Regarded as ‘the toughest game ever’, Dark Souls 3 is not the kind of game you hand it over to a total newbie, it’s like giving the keys of a Bugatti Chiron to a student driver. Did they get thrashed? Absolutely yes! It was hilarious to see otherwise confident people struggling to remain alive in the game. However, it was not just fun for us and the viewers, but also the ones getting thrashed, thanks to a safe and inclusive environment where they were playing for fun, rather than beating the game. In fact, Git Gud with Knighton is a testament to the fact that you don’t need to be good at a game to enjoy it, hence the gatekeeping is absolutely useless. Git Gud with Knighton is a show by the youth and for the youth! The premise is rather simple, Knighton hosts modern-day celebrities, AKA Instagram and YouTube influencers to talk about stuff they’ve never spoken before. Their day to day life, career, personal life, what it takes to be successful in a competitive industry and random chit-chat and so much more! Although Knighton likes to have a script, the show seems to have a mind of its own that does not obey such puny things.
The name of the show is a play at the words ‘Get Good’, the sole ‘Tip & Trick’ to beat the Dark Souls.
