>biggest modern fantasy IP>zero gameswhat the heck? even lotr has the middle earth games that were a huge success
>>736222086there are 12 and another MMO in the making.stop being retarded.
>>736222086>modernThere is your problem. Modern slop has no staying power, its fast food for few months and then people forget it.
>>736222203>there are 12literally name one that isn't the telltale slop
Cyanide made oneHas the same combat system as Of Orcs And Men
>>736222086Because the TV show stopped being good after season 4 and by season 8 even normalfaggots got the memo.
>>736222086Because this is 100% a franchise for females and females don't care about vidya. Literally woman's media. Same reason there's no 50 shades of grey video games
>>736222086The TV show dropped the ball so hard that normies immediately forgot they'd ever liked it.
>>736222086The Investment bubble for games it could have benefited from dropped off sometime during the late 2010-2012, before then big investment firms and banks were dumping their sweet 2008 bail-out money (thanks taxpayer) into videogames to find some random big hit (hence all the sequels during this period with larger production values and more sanitized mass appeal).Bethesda was presumably in talks to adapt the series and got some way into it, before negotiations fell through and they just turned what they had into Skyrim.
>Best game is a mod.
>>736222291>google stuff for meyep you're double retarded
>>736222086Some guys at work were trying to get me to watch this and I said sure I like fantasy, then they told me it wasnt fantasy so I didnt. I still think its fantasy i just generally steer clear of what retards like.
>>736222620>exact same game as vanilla but the rulers have names from GOTWAOW
I hate low fantasy. I hate when they try to make everything dark, muddy, and gritty. If I play a fantasy game, I wanna be throwing lightning bolts and fireballs at dragons, not murdering peasants in a ditch.

>>736222950But it's hecking morally grey...
>>736222776They love the non-fantasy elements. Political backstabbing and shit like that. There are dragons and ice zombies sure but that’s not what really hooks them.736222950They’re still high fantasy though. Westeros is a made-up world even if itself is a not Europe.
>>736222950Fantasy should be fantastic, and fun. Politics, taxes, and shitting in the grass are neither.I want unreasonably large swords with names like "Un'Ratha, Soul-Splitter", and big fiery demons to smash them into
>>736222947ck3 agot adds a lot of shit. i just killed my wife using dragon
>>736222950asoiaf isn't low fantasy
>>736222086Lol he watches a TV show about incest
>>736225539Low fantasy? >dragons>magic>zombies>giants>time travel>witches>other mythical creaturss>necromancy
it's funny that people called this series is all about moral greyness when there are obvious heroic characters and obvious evil characters
>>736226304Correct. Yeah, you have a few edge cases like Tyrion but the story makes it clear that the Lannisters are bad, the Starks are good. And more importantly that being good works.
>>736226384Tywin literally died in one of the most pathetic ways possible, while Ned Stark despite dying early inspired people to fight in his name. It’s still clearly a story about good and evil even if it features morally gray characters.
>>736222086Crusader Kings 2 mod.Also, there was at least one game for it, rpg, or arpg, I forget.
>>736226102yeah that's what I am saying. ASOIAF is not low fantasy.
>>736226674ck3 mod better tho. having a blast playing it this week
>>736222536game of thrones shorts with shitty phonk songs slathered onto heavily edited clips still make hundreds of thousands of views lol. that's what GoT has been reduced to after the show, it's that grim
>No fighting game where I can pit Prime Bobby B vs Duncan the Tall with a jousting/trial of seven side mode>No City-Bulding game with each kingdom giving a different challenge (ex: The Riverlands are rich in resources but are devastated, the Iron Islands have shit resources but you can plunder)>No Open World Assassins Creed-like set in King's Landing
>>736223459Sorry, but in GoT the "political" parts felt more much interesting. Charles Dance and Diana Rigg acting the hell out of talking to each other were much more thrilling than Muh WOLL muh WOYLDINGS
>>736222620>second best game is also a mod
>>736230986NTA.True, yet i like a nice balance between politics & scheeming & drama and world-building & exploration. Too much of one hurts the other.
>>736222086There's two decent RPGs, but the last season shit the bed so hard the IP is cursed
