The show? Starts of better than any fantasy series made so far, with better production values and more edge most tv watchers are accustomed to.
Quality starts declining rapidly as they catch up with the books and start deviating from them, but by then you are already invested in it enough to finish it.

Books? (A song of Ice and Fire, only the first book was called a Game of Thrones). Not the best written fantasy out there, but intriguing at the outset for its interesting mining of medieval history and fantasy motifs, coupled with large and interesting character gallery. Basically starts out as a critique on high fantasy and how it would actually suck to live in those worlds if they were more honest in their mirroring of actual medieval history. But the series sort of looses steam after the third novel, and it's all but certain it won't be finished while their author is still alive.

Is fat fuck even working on Winds?

No waifus, most are britbong slags.

I read the books before the film series was ever announced. Most of the books are "low" fantasy and mostly just a 15th century european political war story between different factions, with many characters who the story is told through from their unique perspectives. And it has good attention to detail, there is clearly a lot of research gone into them, to make the characters, setting and story believable. Then it obviously starts to ramp up the fantasy aspects more and more first in subtle ways, then much more so as the books continue.

But the show went to shit because it started diverting from the books in key ways, and obviously they ran out of material from the books, so they had to make shit up as they went along. The story and pacing started suffering as a result.

hating on popular things doesn't make you unique, you are just an NPC who acts on impulse, without thinking.

God bless you for utilizing cromulent in it's proper context.

One of my favorite words.

Hyped by no-brain cucks and twats.
Actually rubbish story like marvel shitfest.
It is better to spend time on education, rather than spending time on this shit.

At this point I'm convinced it's finished but he'll have them released after his death because he knows its shit and doesn't want to hear people bitching about the ending.

read it and find out

TV show is a shitty fanfiction. The books are basically the retelling of a hundred year war in a fantasy setting. It's the only series in the genre that have such massive amounts of backstory and worldbuilding woven in and he does a good job writing interesting characters but the writing itself is not particularly good and the story is a massive clusterfuck at this point.

>"Strange are the ways of Men, Legolas! Here they have one of the marvels of the Northern World, and what do they say of it? Caves, they say! Caves! Holes to fly in time of war, to store fodder in!
>My good Legolas, do you know that the caverns of Helm's Deep are vast and beauytiful? There would be an endless pilfrimage of Dwarves, merely to gaze at them, if such things were known to be. Aye indeed, they would pay pure gold for a brief glance!"

>"And I would give gold to be excused," said Legolas; "and double to be let out, if I stayed in!"

>"You have not seen, so I forgive your jest," said Gimli. "but you speak like a fool. Do you think those halls are fair, where your King dwells under the hill in Mirkwood, and Dwarves helped making long ago?
>They are but novels compared with caverns I have seen here: immasurable halls, filled with an everlasting music of water that tinkles into pools, as fair as Kheled-zâram in the starlight."
>"And, Legolas, When the tourches are kindled and the men walk on the sandy floors under the echoin domes, ah!then, Legolas, gems and crystals and veins of precious ore glint in the polished walls; and the light glows trough folded marbles, shell-like, translucent as the living hands of Queen Galadriel.

There's still one book to go after Winds of Winter.

Form should've made a Witcher game

He looks like a biggest cuck of them all

Knowing the real masterpieces and beating the shit out from shit is ok.

>There are columns of white and saffron and dawn-rose, Legolas, fluted and twisted into dreamlike forms; they spring up from many-coloured floors to meet the glistening pendants of the roof: wings, ropes curtains as fine as frozen clouds; spears, banners, pinnacles of suspended palaces!
>Still lakes mirror them: a glimmering world looks up from dark pools covered with clear glass; cities, such as the mind of Durin could scarce have imagined in his sleep, stretch on through avenues and pillared courts, on into the dark recesses where no light can home.
>And plink! a silver drop falls, and the round wrinkles in the glass make all the towers bend and waver like weeds and corals in the grotto of the sea. Then evening comes: they fade and twinkle out; the tourches pass on into another chamber and another dream.
>There is a chamber, Legolas; hall opening out of hall, dome after dome, stairs beyond stairs; and still the winding paths lead on into the mountains' hearth. Caves! The Caverns of Helm's Deep! Happy was he chance that drove me there! It makes me weep to leave them!"

>"Then I will wish you this fortune for your comfort, Gimli" said the elf, "that you may come safe from war and return to see them again. But do not tell all your kindred! There seems little left for them to do, form your account.
>Maby the men of this land are wise to say little: one family of busy dwarves with hammer and chisel might mar more than they made"

>"No you don't understand," said Gimli, "No dwarf could be unmoved by such loveliness. None of Durin's race would mine those caves for stones or ore, not if diamonds and gold could be got there.
>Do you cut down groves of blossoming trees in the springtime for firewood? We would tend these glades of flowering stone, not quarry them.
>With cautious skill, tap by tap - a small cip of rock and no more, prehaps, in a whole anxious day - so we could work, and as the years went by, we should open up new ways, and display far chambers that are still dark, glimpsed only as a void beyond fissures in the rock.
>And lights, Legolas! We should make lights, such lamps as once shone in Khazad-Dûm; and when we wished we would drive away the night that has lain there since the gills were made; and when we desired rest, we would let the night return."

>"You move me, Gimli," said Legolas. "I have never heard you speak like this before. Almost you make me regret that I have not seen these caves.
>Come! Let us make this bargain - If we both return safe out of the perils that await us, we will journey for a while together. You shall visit Fangorn with me, and then I will come with you to see Helm's Deep."

>"That would not be the way of return that I should choose," Said Gimli "But I will endure Fangorn, if I have your promise to come back to the caves and share their wonders with me."

What's this meme of Tolkien and LoTR being better than George and GoT? Are you saying this just to be unique and edgy? Tolkien is a shit writer and LoTR is more overrated than GoT. GoT at the very least ,despite its flaws is entertaining and have well written characters. LoTR has no entertainment value and no good characters. Stop trying to be different, it's cringe worthy.

Attached: spontaneo.jpg (600x550, 55K)

You aren't fooling anyone, Martin.

Try actually reading the books. Shock value is a byproduct, not the main focus.
Major characters killed in ASOIAF almost always have it coming as a fitting end result to some flawed aspect of their character they've shown throughout, or sometimes as part of the development of another character.
Ned and Robert die due to their sense of honour forcing them to take stupid actions that end up getting them killed.
Oberyn's arrogance and OTT unwarranted self-confidence get him killed completely unnecessarily after he had almost already won.
Daenerys' naivety gets Drogo killed, as she foolishly trusts the witch to help him as a favour to her after she helped her, when Drogo and his men have just raped and killed their way through her home village.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
The books are fairly well written, you'd have to be genuinely dim to read it and still think they're all about shallow shock value. If you want to see genuinely shit writing, you have to watch the show, everything they didn't take directly from the books is awful.

He had a big trilogy going and signed rights to make a show about his books. This was probably 3-4 years ago. Where is it? Where is the third book?

GRRM hasn't really shown he can do show not tell storytelling because FROM's worlds are very isolated, and often dreadful and oppressive. FROM doesn't really rely on long winded explanations from an NPC or huge backstory forced onto every player.

Le winter is cumming, amirite? xD

Yeah, we know how that Brandon Sanderson game ended right?

Tolkien is to creative literary genius what Martin is to hack pulp idiocy. They both so far surpass anyone else in their field that they will be remembered 1,000 years from now as a kind of yin and yang of fantasy, a Manichaen duality of speculative letters. For every sublime, luminous beauty that Tolkien has gifted the world, Martin has cursed us with a tedious, banal ugliness. It is unfair to compare the two directly on any one point, because Martin is in every way the anti-Tolkien, patently sterile, parasitical, and inferior, but so much so that he becomes a monument in his own right, and counterbalances Tolkien. Could one exist without the other? Tolkien obviously could. But it is only by the contrast that Martin offers that we can truly appreciate the full depths and heights of Tolkien. Our understanding of Tolkien would be incomplete if Martin had never set pen to page. It is through only the abject failure and futility of Martin that we can approach an apprehension of the true scope and scale of Tolkien's hitherto inconceivable greatness. Perhaps this is what Tolkien had in mind when he wrote about the Music of the Ainur. If Tolkien is a subcreator in the image of Eru, truly Martin is like unto Melkor. It is only reflected in the awfulness of the one that we can fully see the goodness of the other.

The only thing garbage about the hobbit is the movies.

Compare ANY passage of the books side by side and Tolkien will always come out on top.
There is nothing interesting about game for fags.

Tolkien literary quality is nonexistent. He is good for being really good at creating a consistent lore and worldbuliding, almost autist-like but his dilogues and narrational skills are very low. I read his books as a teen and liked thinking that they were part of something bigger than what you could see, but re-reading it recently I saw all their flaws

Biggest offender here is how Dany being unable to bear children is a major focus point in the plot since it means extinction of her house, yet the last season 7 episode immediately goes "nah witch didn't know what the fuck she was sayin lol" even after she has fucked her way across the whole steppes without getting pregnant

What the FUCK are you talking about? It's a long-understood tradition in RPGs that flavour text is a in-universe thing. In-universe stories, rumours and legends about a thing that your characters infer either by themselves or by taking an item to an expert.

Even pseudo-RPG trash like Dawn of War did this right. Not Souls though. Because, I guess, it's not "deepest lore" enough.

It is through only the abject failure and futility of Martin that we can approach an apprehension of the true scope and scale of Tolkien's hitherto inconceivable greatness. Perhaps this is what Tolkien had in mind when he wrote about the Music of the Ainur. If Tolkien is a subcreator in the image of Eru, truly Martin is like unto Melkor. It is only reflected in the awfulness of the one that we can fully see the goodness of the other.

Whereas with Martin we have "Sunset found her squatting in the grass etc." to Tolkien we have “Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all etc." and “Roads Go Ever On etc.", I wonder if future scholars will study the contrast and literary relationship between the two authors.

I'm going to explain for you. Revitalization does not mean making good films. They could all be shit films that doesn't matter. What matters is what he is arguing is which is after lotr there was a revitalization if fantasy movies. for example the industry starts pumping out fantasy movies again over a period of time. Hence revitalization, if they are good then all the better, but if they are all bad then poof it dies again.

Now user, let's not go crazy

No, they are just in the console war, Twitter screencap, and stale meme threads.

Where has GoT even come close to a passage like:

Suddenly Tom’s talk left the woods and went leaping up the young stream, over bubbling waterfalls, over pebbles and worn rocks, and among small flowers in close grass and wet crannies, wandering at last up on to the Downs. They heard of the Great Barrows, and the green mounds, and the stone-rings upon the hills and in the hollows among the hills. Sheep were bleating in flocks. Green walls and white walls rose. There were fortresses on the heights. Kings of little kingdoms fought together, and the young Sun shone like fire on the red metal of their new and greedy swords. There was victory and defeat; and towers fell, fortresses were burned, and flames went up into the sky. Gold was piled on the biers of dead kings and queens; and mounds covered them, and the stone doors were shut; and the grass grew over all. Sheep walked for a while biting the grass, but soon the hills were empty again. A shadow came out of dark places far away, and the bones were stirred in the mounds. Barrow-wights walked in the hollow places with a clink of rings on cold fingers, and gold chains in the wind. Stone rings grinned out of the ground like broken teeth in the moonlight.

>Bible
>Fiction
One of the many amazing prophecies of Jesus Christ from the Old Testament is that of verse 1 from Psalm 22:

>"O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me?"

Many people have said, "Jesus said God has forsaken him on the cross, how could he be the Messiah?"
Jesus was invoking Psalm 22 on the cross. The Psalm was wrote around 1,000 years before Christ was born.

This is significant because a few verses later in the same Psalm it says this:

>"They have pierced my hands and feet."

Some renderings have it;

>"they have torn holes in my hands and my feet"

Strange. It would appear that Jesus Christ invoked a Psalm wrote 1,000 years before He was born that seemed to tell of His very unique death, crucifixion; which did not even exist at the time Psalm 22 was wrote.

Psalm 22 goes on to say:

>"They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots."

This is another strange coincidence. It is known that the Roman soldiers gambled, or "cast lots" on Christ's garments as He was being crucified. If Christ was utterly out of His depths and defeated; why does this Psalm--that was invoked as He was in unimaginable pain--foretell of exact circumstances of the very death He was experiencing? Circumstances that no one could have known?

Not only this, Psalm 22 ends by foretelling the great rise of Christendom, which was achieved based on the very death that Christ Himself was experiencing, that the Psalm undeniably addresses:

>"All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight."

Remember, at the time of Christ, only one tribe was expecting a Messiah. This Psalm called forth by Christ on the cross predicts His death to an exactitude, and it just happens to predict the unprecedented worldwide conversion based on this death.

How do atheists explain this away?

Much like the people involved in Archer, this asshole has clearly run out of ideas and is just costing til he's canceled or some shit. You think it's hard waiting for shit like Kingdom Hearts to finish it's story, a video game by this motherfucker would take decades for just the first half

>Bethesda turned him down because they wanted to focus on Skyrim

Funny that you use the King James translations of the original hebrew of Psalm 22. Reeks of revisionism. 'The hebrew translates to a band of evildoers has encompassed me, like a lion, my hands and feet.'

Why do people do this?

Hack writer.

You would know, master.

With two continents that have sunk due to divine intervention, a vast history of magical creatures, and magical artifacts it's definitely high fantasy. The confusion comes in because the setting is transitioning away from that, just like how Tolkien is recognizing the shift away from romanticism to modernism.

Why do you pretend to like boring shit just to seem like an intellectual? You would sacrifice entertainment just to impress a few anons on the internet? Fucking PATHETIC.

Or Ned's Son Rob. He was a fucking retard. Honor my ass you were already pledged to a Frey.

You don't even have to know anything about literature to find one. Tolkien and Lord of the Rings are such easy picks. Literally the first writer and series that comes to mind when you think of GoT and it's superior in every way

I watched the first season of the tv show. Does it get any better in later seasons?

Season 4 is when they started to deviate from the source material.

That guy looks like the literal phyiscal manifestation of /tg/

The funny thing is, those elitists pretend to like the dullest, most bland bullshit just to seem smart. They're not having fun reading, they just want a facade of superiority that doesn't exist.

The first season is honestly a bit slow, since it's just setting up the backstory but 2 and beyond really make up for it. The books are even better, of course.

>Ned and Robert die due to their sense of honour forcing them to take stupid actions that end up getting them killed.
Not even close to being true. Ned's sense of honor may have set the war into motion, but Ned swallowed that honor after being captured. He admitted his wrongdoing. Nobody wanted him dead, not even Cersei who had the most to lose from him being alive. Cersei, Petyr, Varys, etc intended for him to be sent off to the night's watch but the last minute decision of Joffrey ruled otherwise. A decision that virtually everyone at the execution protests and later remarks as being contrary to their plans. As for Robert, he literally never had any honor. Robert never cared about any of his actions being morally justified. He started a rebellion for a girl he barely knew just because he couldn't stand the thought of being momentarily humiliated. He died because he had long outlived his usefulness, it was simply easier to kill him than to keep him around anymore.

Oberyn's arrogance has nothing to do with his death. He went into the duel on Tyrion's behalf because he wanted revenge and an opportunity presented itself. He fully understood that he likely would not live through the ordeal, he even admits as much. Maybe he could have lived if he didn't get caught up in the moment of taking revenge, maybe not. Either way his objective was to make Gregor admit to the killing of Elia and Aegon publicly which he achieved, something he would not have accomplished if he outright killed Gregor quicker.

Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Miyazaki, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Dark Souls had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man who linked the fire, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Miyazaki can say that Gwyn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Miyazaki doesn’t ask the question: What was Gwyn's tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these demons? By the end of the war, the Demons of Chaos are gone but all of the demons aren’t gone – they’re in the Bed of Chaos. Did Gwyn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby demons, in their little cradles of chaos?

Why do I have the faint recollection that Martin put just a small bit of scat smut in one of his books?

Explain AffC and ADwD. They aren't as shit as the show becomes in later seasons, but let's be honest, the books have been declining in quality too. GRRM has an idea for the ending in mind, but clearly has no idea how to get there and has written himself into a corner. He should have done a timeskip.

It's red green and black, it's long, it's gross, it's from a hag in a maze, and what it's probably used for (scratching, gardening, nose picking).

What the ring does, who used it, reason for it's name and association with a main character, information that Havel influenced the way people fought war, there are more than one Havel's Ring, and that his effect on combat has persisted for thousands of years.

>move the goal post
There was none to begin with. If the claim is that you can break/cheese a boss in a video game if you take the time to learn how, then this is not something that is exclusive to FromSoft games. A person playing this for the first time will most definitely not know how, though, so it's hardly relevant.

Can`t be any more of a normie NPC than what`s stated in this post, seriously

What a bait. Good shit user.

This is Yea Forums m8. People here don't understand that Tolkien has never been considered one of the greats in literary circles. I know literally nothing about Martin and his writing, but that's because I almost never read genre fiction.
All I do know is that Tolkien's writing is mediocre and full of purple prose.

>Name a better writer
Tolkien by far and it's not even funny.

How is that breaking or cheesing the game? Everything is working as intended in that webm. Just because parrying in Bloodborne is braindead and overpowered doesn't make it cheesing.

Alright, then replace that with "using very overpowered mechanics effectively". Doesn't really change what I said.

Fuck him and fuck them schlock he produces, which the Netflix lemmings think it's Deep because it's grimdark bullsbit.

ya i want to play a game written by bignose needsashave

>Tolkien has never been considered one of the greats in literary circles.
It is considered the best fantasy book ever written

Should I read the books first or watch the series? Which one would I get more enjoyment out of going in blind?

you should read lotr instead

Ignore both because the show becomes garbage quickly and the books will never be finished.

depends
how many hours do you have?

Nah, read Andre Norton instead.

Gene Wolf. Book of the New Sun is way beyond you.

Seriously, I despise Games of Thrones and everything that It represents.

Underrated

do neither, it's a shitty sexed up soap opera that people take seriously because it has dragons

About an hour

Read Blood Meridian.

By the way, Gilbert Chesterton or Wilkie Collins could have written a neat adventure game.

And boobies, and incest, but it's dark so it must be clever.

you will barely make it past one book/episode

my recommendation? download the 1993 doom shareware

It's better than GoT but only marginally. I'm so tired of BOTNS fans acting like the book is so nuanced. Your average high lit is far more nuanced than that book.

Martin equates cynicism with intelligence, so obviously it became reddit's fave show because dumb teenagers see the world in that way too.

I hope this is a lie

Neither is Bloodborne.

Bloodborne was a variation of Souls formula and so is Sekiro.

I never watched it but a lot of people recommended it ten years ago so it's probably shit.

Quick give me a book recommendation list of novels better than GoT

I seriously hope you're NOT implying the books become garbage quickly. Only first 2 books are moderately entertaining, everything else is a piece of shit.

This, bonus points for fantasy stuff.

Bloodborne is a Souls game.

Sure but it's a spin-off. Sekiro's mechanics are more divergent.

[nothing]

Just exempt GoT from the library and there you go

Except it isn't you braindead faggot.

Not really no.

Literally nothing rofl, you can try LOTR if you haven't read it but it's a significant downgrade to fairytale bullshit after reading a realistic, gritty, complex history-based novel like ASOIAF with gorillions of characters and politics, everything else will feel barebones after ASOIAF.

The Black Arrow.
The Master of Ballantrae.
Vathek.

dont know if you're into sci-fi but Cordwainer smith is pretty decent retro sci-fi stuff from the 1960s

There's nothing wrong with genre fiction but GRRM is a complete hack

Yeah. It's childish and pseudo intellectual to act like BOTNS is deep. Just let people enjoy what they enjoy (unless it's YA and they are adults). There's just as many arguments that it fails at what it reaches for and that severin is just as much a product of sloppy writing as he is engineering genius. In fact Wolfe's other books tend to indicate that he's more a product of the former than the latter.

Anything by Lord Dunsanny.

You're thinking of Gravity's Rainbow.

the fuck are you talking about? I read all the way to Urth. There's nothing challenging about this books. It's clear to anyone who reads real literature that Wolfe was just doing steam of consciousness and then asspulled plot points to justify how they are actual deep twists in later installments upon reviews of the first. It might be deep if it's your first rodeo.

No love for Michael Moorecock? Come on Yea Forums.
