Why isn't there a single good ASOIAF/GoT game?
>>724536721Because its a shit series. Also it's a series.about political intrigue which doesnt make for a great game
Because its boring. Its just a bunch of faggots backstabbing each other the first chance they get. So making a game out of it is pointless
>>724536721because it's a great series and the narrative complexity doesn't lend itself easily to gaming
>>724536819Political schemes and wars is literally crusader kings?It has low appeal for the consumers of the tv series which are casuals though.
>>724536819>>724536835seems perfect for a total war/crusader kings kind of game.(though both can and probably are adequately done by mods)
>>724536916This, the series' main focus is the characters and their interactions with each other while the setting is pretty generic tolkienlike fantasy that anyone can come up with, so any game would just feel like a cash grab since you could come up with a better world yourself.
The novelty of Martin's "darker and realistic world" has grown stale, to the point that even he is not finishing his story
>>724536721the crusader kings mods and m&b mods are already better than any aaa game would ever be
>>724536721Too tricky to adapt. Doesn't lend itself well to most gaming genres and its setting only really work if things go exactly as they do in the booksLotR would have suffered a similar fate without the Jackson films
>makes an entire career trying to one up this man >fails
>>724536721there are total conversion mods that are good
>>724536721the agot mod for ck2 exists
>>724537205>steals his middle initials
>>724537056>The novelty of Martin's "darker and realistic world" has grown stalei wish this were actually true, but the whole grey vs grey morality dogshit has been popular in media since the 1980s and hasn't shown any sign of actually going away. having likeable idealistic, heroic characters and unambiguously evil villains is still often called shallow and childish by mainstream audiences.
>>724536721because it's as basic bitch as lotr. your average isekai creates more interesting worlds
>ASOIAF is just le morally grey backstabbers and everyone sucks >actually read it>villains are cold blooded evil psychopaths, the heroes, while flawed, have more good qualities than bad onesIs this PoV a show thing? There's obviously characters who are more in the middle (Stannis, Mance, Jaime) but this is the same series where there is an entire faction dedicated to skinning babies and have a base named the Dreadfort. I know the Lannisters are whitewashed like crazy in the show, Tyrion is practically a different character altogether.
>>724536721There is. It's called AGOT for Crusader Kings 3
>>724536819>>724536835>>724536916We could do a nice narrative game, like a point & click. Video games aren't just fps and fighting games.>>724536982>>724536989CK scheming is way too shallow. You just press a button and wait until you can extort money.
>>724536721Game of Thrones: The Roleplaying Game was far more enjoyable than it had any right to be.
AWOIAF and COK mods
>>724539184There is a tell tale GoT
>>724539369Isn't that just a linear "game" following the tv series? That looks like a low budget cash grab.When it comes to games adaptation I prefer when it's a different story in the same world rather than a simple copy of the source media.
>>724536721Just play Dark Souls 1 and Skyrim
>>724539602Well yes and no. It tells a original story that plays out alongside the main events of the tv series. You have original characters and original locations.
>>724537740>having likeable idealistic, heroic characters and unambiguously evil villains
>>724539214Underrated game. Story takes a while to click, though.
>>724538751>and everyone sucks That's just the Warhammer 40k philosophy being mixed with it. ASOIAF always had heroes and villains it's just that the characters are more human.
>>724539369it's probably their most mediocre title
>>724536721because it was never really a strong video game license in the first place. also, be careful what you ask for.
>>724539735Ok cool, I read it was linear but I didn't play it so I can judge. All I saw were the characters modeled on the actors from the TV series which is a red flag.
The only good thing that would come out of a GoT game would be Bobby posting on /v/.
>>724540049can't judge* obviously
>>724536721Telltale GoT and the mods for CK3, Atilla and Bannerlord are all kino
>>724540049They're original characters, but they're basically the Not-Starks and the player characters are basically clones of Robb, Sansa, and Jon+a different Jon if he went to Essos and joined a sellsword company instead of the night's watch
>>724540049You will have some canon character cameos, yes. But most of the game is about your original characters. Like, one of them is a handmaiden of Margaery Tyrell, so its obvious that you will encounter Margery in game. But its more than just a retelling of events you already know
>>724540420Good Margaery is the only one I'd want to see because Natalie Dormer is my wife
>>724537205he succeeded in the eyes of libtards and in the eyes of Brandon Sanderson.
>>724540912>Brandon SandersonI am very much not a fan of him and don't get why he gets paraded like modern Tolkien o algo
>>724540992he has strong worldbuilding and christian virtue signaling like "What is a man's life worth?". Secondaries fall for it easily.
>>724541143>christianHe has nothing to do with christianity because he's some burgeroid mumbo-jumbo cultist
>>724541314I'm saying he utilizes christian beliefs to capture people more easily, not that he's christian himself. Get better reading comprehension.
>>724537740>often called shallow and childishBecause it's often executed in a shallow and childish way. It seems really hard for modern writers to create a likeable hero. They do not understand the difference between a nice person and a good person, so the "hero" is some kind of naive doormat that's impossible to respect.
>>724540992He has a youtube channel
>>724540992I am more mystified why /lit/ seems to like Steven Erikson and calls him "based". The main series feels like if you trained an ChatGPT solely on Reddit and told it to write an edgy fantasy.
>>724541840did you get past the 1st bookit's not edgy at all
>>724542502I finished the whole damn thing. I enjoyed all the parts without the Malazans.
>>724543134you are the rare onemost people hate the philosophical musing but adore the soldier banter and war stuff
real reason is because the story is owned by HBOniggers and idk how likely it will ever be they work with a competent studio to make a game that isn't shit. The outcry from the telltale game and game of thrones: kingsroad (which isn't terrible but it's still just a mobile game) gives me some hope someone at HBO will see the huge opportunity for a real game
>>724536721The Black Company is better
>>724538751>Is this PoV a show thing?its the popular image gained from a flanderization of the show's qualities and its position as a tiny rebuttal to tolkien, and because of the tradcath larping on neo/v/, means posters chestthumping about how its dogshit and evil because tolkiens work was religious in nature and good must overcome evil and all that shiteven though towards the end of his life tolkien was definitely thinking about the sort of stuff gurm thought about when making asoiafi think its pretty telling that he dropped 2 different post-aragorn reign story drafts when he realized the logical path of his story was not only depressing but totally plausible>Deep indeed run the roots of Evil… and the black sap is strong in them. That tree will never be slain. Let men hew it as often as they may, it will thrust up shoots again as soon as they turn aside.

>>724539760>Dunk and Egg booksI read them because of how fucking starved that fat fuck has made me waiting for him just to finish Winds of Winter, only to love them and now be pissed off by the fact he won't finish those series of books off. Apparently he plans to do twelve of them for Dunk and Egg. Is he fuck. Even if GRRM was immortal he wouldn't finish any of it off because it's clear he's gotten bored of his magnum opus.
>>724546224>show aesthetics
>>724536721Because the only reason anyone ever cared about it was because it was normalfag approved TV porn. It has zero substance.
>>724546342he wouldn't finish it because you're such a massive chud anon.
>>724547619define substance
>>724549476Value beyond being a vehicle for the author's fetishes.
