"I will legit mute the voices!" – Twitch streamer lashes out at God of War Ragnarok’s backseat gaming

sportskeeda.com:

Twitch streamer Elias "Elajjaz" expressed frustration at the newly released God of War Ragnarok during a recent livestream.

Elajjaz was in Vanaheim, fighting against one of the main bosses, Nidhogg. Although he was tackling the boss skillfully, a major in-game character, Freya, was seemingly backseat gaming by giving out instructions as to what moves he should be making.

The voice lines and dialog visibly frustrated the Twitch streamer, and he lashed out at the game:

During a livestream on November 10, Elajjaz progressed through Freya's quest line and reached the final boss of the zone. The Swedish personality died to the boss a few times as he was playing the game on the hardest difficulty.

Elajjaz tried once again, and this time he could not contain his frustration at Freya's in-game voice lines. He said:

Freya appeared to comment on the Twitch streamer's timing after he mistimed a dodge. The remark annoyed Elajjaz, and he jokingly told the in-game character to stop talking.

The backseat gaming did not stop there, as Freya continued to instruct the content creator, telling him what moves he should be making. A few moments later, Nidhogg killed Elajjaz in-game. He began laughing and said:

As the Twitch streamer continued playing the game, Freya told him to get closer to the boss and seemingly threw shade at his strategy. Elajjaz replied:

Elajjaz was able to defeat the boss roughly 10 minutes later and ended his nine-hour stream soon after.

The gameplay clip made an appearance on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit and went viral.
