Since its release, Elden Ring has become one of the most talked-about games in the online community. In fact, the difficulty of this game has continuously been raised, becoming a challenge that is not easily overcome by any gamer, to the point of being dubbed one of the most “frustrating” games currently. However, no one could have anticipated that Elden Ring would recently become the catalyst for a couple to break up “in the blink of an eye,” turning into one of the hot topics among gamers in recent days.
Specifically, in a recent post, Hrowaway – an anonymous gamer sparked an intense debate with other gamers about his personal story. Notably, the topic began with him being very upset that his girlfriend had beaten Elden Ring faster than he did, which was the main reason he chose to break up.
According to him, his girlfriend used to only play a few simple games on the Nintendo Switch, and he himself somewhat “looked down” on her gaming skills. However, what’s surprising is that his girlfriend managed to “beat” Elden Ring in just a week, while he was still “struggling” through the early stages. If the story had stopped here, Hrowaway would certainly have faced a barrage of criticism for his “jealousy.” However, the next part is what makes it truly interesting.
Specifically, when Hrowaway curiously asked his girlfriend for tips to get through the game, he was shocked to learn that her method was to leverage the fact that she is a female gamer, chatting online, flirting, and “asking for help” from various online “big brothers” to quickly defeat the bosses. Irritated by this approach, combined with a rather forced reason that his girlfriend had “ruined the soul” of Elden Ring, he decided to break up immediately.
However, his somewhat harsh and selfish manner of speaking led to his account being banned immediately. Numerous comments appeared criticizing Hrowaway for his selfishness and discrimination. His ex-girlfriend later surfaced, responding to all the criticisms and counter-accusing that Hrowaway simply couldn’t stand the fact that his girlfriend beat Elden Ring faster than he did.
Currently, the story continues to attract a lot of attention from the Elden Ring gaming community.
