The Game Awards has announced all of its winners for 2016, and Twitter has already made the most of the show's coolest, weirdest, and most awkward moments. Yes, everyone is very excited about there being a dog in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the entire idea of Mass Effect: Andromeda, and trying to figure out just what the hell is going on in Death Stranding.

Zelda had a girl and a dog and everyone was pleased

GIRL. pic.twitter.com/y2EWIunGdsDecember 2, 2016

most important thing about the new zelda trailer. pic.twitter.com/KGRiTlmUBCDecember 2, 2016

Gonna pet that ZeldogDecember 2, 2016

HEY REAL QUICK pic.twitter.com/tcaAPEoT7fDecember 2, 2016

… but the frame rate wasn't so good

I can see why people are comparing Zelda to Dark Souls. The frame rate and pacing are very similar.December 2, 2016

The toughest enemy in Zelda Breath of the Wild seems to be the frame rate. #TheGameAwardsDecember 2, 2016

Kojima tears were (nearly) shed

There is no greater bromance than @geoffkeighley and @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN ❤️December 2, 2016

Death Stranding went baby crazy

First official screenshot from Death Stranding! #TheGameAwards pic.twitter.com/ckOVEB89U6December 2, 2016

Why are they calling this Death Stranding instead of Hey Kid, You Wanna See Some Shit? #thegameawardsDecember 2, 2016

Imagine if the death stranding baby grows up to be Geoff Keighley, who you play as for the second half of the game #thegameawardsDecember 2, 2016

That Dragon, Cancer got everyone choked up

Can we all just go on stage and give him a hug? ;________;December 2, 2016

Cannot snark That Dragon Cancer. Even I have my limits. #TheGameAwardsDecember 2, 2016

I started to tear up during Ryan Green's acceptance speech. Beautiful, and a well deserved award.December 2, 2016

And Mass Effect: Andromeda was worth the wait

Mass Effect Andromeda: pic.twitter.com/zKhrr6zWj1December 2, 2016

Mass Effect!!!!! #GameAwards pic.twitter.com/jMfukZ5T3ADecember 2, 2016

Former GamesRadar+ News Writer

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 was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar+.
