Death Stranding pod babies and Zelda dogs: Twitter reacts to The Game Awards
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

… 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

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

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.
