Deathloop wins GOTY 2021!

Congrats to the lemmings and Xbox fans, and of course to Microsoft. Great job Arkane Studios for producing a fantastic game and finally winning such a prestigious award.

Congratulations. Enjoy the game xbox fans, oops.

Well done MS, Xbox, Bethesda and Arcane Studios. Well deserved.

In the future I would love to see more Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo games be exclusive to other consoles. Deathloop has been a fascinating case study in mental gymnastics and spin.

Lets see which faction celebrates this Sony exclusive game of the year more.

What mental gymnastics. It's quite simple. Cows don't like it because MS now owns Arkane and I celebrate it because it shows off Arkane Studios capabilities.

Nice work Phil!

With Deathloop already on Microsoft Windows PC and coming out to Xbox next year with the definitive edition, I think it's great that Xbox Game Studios is doing that for their fans.

Cool... and I cant argue with that. Arkane is a great studio and deserves the praise. But I still wonder if Sony fans would enjoy this game more if MS never bought Bethesda, or if MS fans wouldnt be so quick to throw it praise.

Ive been called a lem recently because I been a fan of Arkane and Bethesda for years, well before the merger. Again i find it all very fascinating.

Should've won with Halo or FH, both are better than Deathloop.

Meh. It doesn’t look too interesting of a game to me personally. I might at least give it a try when it hits Game Pass but then again I might not. Have way too many other games that interest me much more then this one.

Well done Xbox, Microsoft and Gamepass

Mental gymnastics? Deathloop being a MS game is mental gymnastics? Really?

Nope, the developers thanked Sony, not Microsoft for funding the game and for their award 😇

An MS title that Sony told them that you're not allowed to play your own title for a year. Let that sink in.

And congrats to PlayStation for it being the only console Deathloop being available on. lol

But yeah, Microsoft's got a great studio in Arkane. I'm sure they'll continue to do great things.

Halo is not better than deathloop. not in any shape or form.

generic outdated gameplay vs new and innovative game.

Yeah sure, but Halo is still better.

Well done Xbox studios

Seeing people congratulate Xbox and Phil for Deathloop winning GOTY is great SW material. But you’re all nuts.

Oh sh*t now we will get even more threads from usual suspect.

Immersive sims rulez.

Halo is sunday morning cartoon. Deathloop is Quentin Tarantino movie.

Huge difference.

@ghosts4ever: lol, no.

Deathloop is Ghostbusters 2016. Halo is The Heat 1995.

It's insane, Give the Praise to Arkane, MS had nothing to do with Deathloop.

Sony has been winning so often and for so long that its just boring at this point. On the other hand, nobody even remembers Horizon5 was even released. Why? Because its an irrelevant racing game. Same applies to that google maps plane game nobody has mentioned on SW for over half a year.

Weird. The Deathloop team thanked Microsoft at the Game of the Year awards. But then again, Deathloop = Microsoft. Where did you hear that MS didn't offer any resources to develop Deathloop to Arkane during those 6 months? I mean, Arkane has already came out and said they are excited about putting Deathloop on Game Pass.

What do you think is being done in those 6 months?

Yes, Arkane is an Xbox studio. But Xbox had damn near 0 to do with Deathloop. Giving them credit for SW purposes is one thing. But nobody with a brain in the real world is doing this. Because its stupid.

As someone who has platinumed this game. I dont don't this game deserves it.

You need to find the right terms. Halo's gameplay isn't generic while other fps games don't play like it does and it's not outdated considering no fps plays like Halo but better.

It isn't new, but the counter to that is not outdated. And while it isn't innovative, it has been tweaked and evolved over time.

There are many fps games and many different types of fps games. In reality, I think Deathloop, Halo, Doom, CoD etc are all completely different.

Not to mention on the Game Awards, Arkane said thanks to Sony & nobody mentions MS at all. So all the "thank you" goes to Sony alone.

Sony sponsored the development of the game?🤔

Sony prompted MS to buy Bethesda. Sony kept doing these exclusivity deals and was probably already in talks about the next Elder Scrolls and Starfield, and about keeping them off Xbox for a year.

So MS bought Bethesda, honored the Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo (is this still a thing?) deals and made GOTY 2021 exclusively for Playstation 5.

Midas touch.

Deathloop is available on Microsoft Windows, let that sink in.😎

Either that or Bethesda wanna work with Sony before they got bought by MS. This is anyone's guess🤷‍♂️

Edit: There's also GhostWire: Tokyo that's being published by Bethesda for PS5 exclusive.

The game was announced as a multiplatform game and Sony paid for the year exclusivity. It is that simple.

Well than, until Deathloop finally comes to Xbox Series X, all the thanks still goes to Sony.

Yeah both Arkane teams do pretty great work. Congrats to the Lyon team.

Oh yeah, and Sony and MS can get fucked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They did not develop the game. So, saying all thanks go to Sony for a multi-platform game they didn't develop is rather silly.

Congrats to PS5 for having game of the year.

PS5 and PC.😎

@Pedro: Not as silly as the mental gymnastics Lems have to go through to make this a Microsoft victory. Shows how little Lems have to be honest.

Does MS own Deathloop? Yes!

Does MS own the studio that made Deathloop? Yes!

Now, tell me how this isn't a victory for MS?

There are worse games that could’ve won.

Granted, there are better. Arkane’s Dishonored and Prey, as examples.

Was not impressed with Deathloop. once you got a handle on its structure its really not all that exciting, just following objective markers through the same levels over and over again with dumbass AI making it devoid of challenge once you get a loadout you like.

not even in my top 10 games of the year

Paid full price, played 3 hours...

@lundy86_4: What was wrong with the game?

@Sagemode87: deathloop, the greatest game to ever release on ps5. Though its a rental, cows still got to play it so be happy. Congrats again to MS studios.

It's decent, but it just couldn't keep me engaged. There was also a constant vignette effect centre screen, and it kept breaking any possible immersion. I'll likely go back and give it another shot at some point.

@davillain-: false Davillan.

@goldenelementxl: well it’s understandable that PS fans don’t want them to give credit.
