ITT: series that deserve a good game

Just play Mount and Blade mods.

I will never understand the appeal of this franchise.

How do we live in a world where a semi-niche polish fantasy series gets an entire trilogy of highly acclaimed and successful games and becomes a touchstone of modern vidya culture, while ASOIAF doesn't have anything comparable?

It seems like CK2, Total War, and M&B modders are the only ones who give a shit.

SHE TURNED US INTO FUCKING KILLERS

the mods for CK2 and M&B are great
with Bannerlord coming out probably next year (inb4) it'll have more dynastic and political gameplay in addition from what we know actually making sieges interesting there will undoubtedly be an ASOIAF mod for it and it'll probably be the best gameplay there could be for the series

I was more annoyed at Tyrion acting like a complete retard than anything else, they really murdered all the characters this season (both literally and figuratively)

The last book was fucking bad which is why he got a writer's block and can't finish the series.

Malazanfag here. The world deserves a game of some sort. Don't really care about the genre. RTS. RPG. TBS. Adventure game. Whatever. It should NOT cover the events of the books though. Theres so much other stuff to cover.

This entire season has destroyed the story, primarily The Battle of Winterfell. Last night's episode was actually the only good one this season, but the way they handled the Night King and wight walkers was so awful that the entire series is retroactively destroyed.

I think I read something that said 1,500 pages each? Not sure though. Last 4 books put together would be something like 4000 pages

I wonder what the sub-faction dynamics will be like
and hopefully there's a hierarchy structures of Lords

Inaccurate. The 1500 page manuscripts will be long but more than likely won't beat his longest book by more than 100 words.

I'm not into GoT, what happened that got so many people upset?

Generally this whole season has ended character arcs in ways that either destroy the arc itself or are generally unsatisfying, going for spectacle over story.
Someone said that the characters used to drive the plot, and now the plot drives the character.

do yourself a favor and get on. early GoT is max comfy. it turns into full feminist propaganda around s6. s8 is trash

The feminist icon protagonist went crazy and torched an entire city, complete with nice close up shots of women and children being burned alive.

It really shouldn't be surprising that the last season ends up shit as the series has been bad for a while. Especially after the source material dried up. Before then it was just mediocre. The first season was alright.

Not really; but, an official Mount and Blade, Total War, or Crusader Kings conversion expansion would be cool

Retards who never understood the story or characters are bitching that their favorite "feminist" power fantasy turned out to be the main villain and a Hitler-tier mass murdering psychopath even though this has been foreshadowed regularly that she would eventually snap from episode one. Now SJW's and roastie single moms who named their kids after her are losing their shit. It's hilarious.

I almost liked last nights episode. But the jump from conqueror to genocide-r seemed especially stupid. I agree with the writer's decision to have her destroy the city. But the civilians burning should have been more of an afterthought of her rage. Her targeting civilians before going after Cersei even just didn't make sense. I get that the writers wanted her to be crazy. And she was. But the leap was dumb. Like with the mad king he was okay until he was kidnapped. Then he slowly started to lose it. He got paranoid because there were people after him. Then he had a decent into madness that lasted years. The peak of which led to him attempting to burn the city down was only because he lost. Instead it was

It's true that the quality of writing went down after they had to continue on past the books and make things up to finish the story, but they have done so in horrible fashion here. They made all the wrong choices and the quality of this season is leagues below the rest of the series. It's embarrassingly bad now whereas before it had quite high production value and quality control. They pulled a Last Jedi and went for MUH SUBVERSION as all Jew hacks do. But what Daenerys did last night was the only thing anyone in the show has actually done in character all season and was clearly what she was being built up to from her first scenes back in season 1.

Hot damn, now that's what I call entertainment. If the entire series had been like this I'd have watced that shit from the start.

probably after the ice battle, if the next book ever comes out, his 20 good men or a minor northern lord like the horse sigil bitch Theon talks to in book 5, will betray and kill him. It will parallel with Jon's death; but, he won't get resurrected.
Although, gurm could go full fanservice at this point to get the fans back on his side after the drought and have Stannis win a pyrric victory as he dies and give the throne to Sansa or someone

All the people she killed before yesterday's episode weren't innocent.

I feel the eunic warrior committing war crimes stabbing surrendered unarmed soldiers is also bad and being over looked. The fuck was his problem? He doesn't even have mental illness as an excuse or a dick to jusyify anger at losing that chick.

>Randyll and Dickon weren't innocent

There was nothing stupid about it, it was always what the character was destined to do because she has never been a hero or good person. She is as mentally ill, cruel, and power hungry as her father was and the entire series has been her slow descent further and further into madness culminating with two of her oldest and closest friends dying within the span of a few days/weeks of each other and her lover rejecting her. It finally causes her to snap and be exactly who the story has always built her toward. It made perfect sense and was perfectly executed.

Season 1 was the best I agree. But I thought the mistakes made during 2-4 were forgivable and was overall good television. 5 was upsetting. 6 hurt. 7...
8...

I liked the actors especially anyone that played someone with the last name of Lannister. A shame the writing was so shitty because the actors did such a fantastic job polishing a turd. Reminds me of pic related honestly.

Eh, no-one should hope to get that.
Normies will not buy it unless they can see their recognizable celebrities and game that either has you being a random faggot in the middle of the tv-series, or you doing dialogue options while playing as Peter Dinklage will never be fun.
And those are the 2 options there are, hell I think there are some games that do just that.

3 > 1 > 2 > 5 > 4

This is the objectively correct ranking.

That guy's character has been utterly assassinated this season. A couple weeks ago they turned him into a pathetic coward who abandons his forces to the walkers so he can run and hide in the castle and then last night he slaughters unarmed surrendering soldiers and innocents. They have turned him into by far the most craven and awful character in the show and I can't wait to watch him die next week.

I thought everyone was loving Stannis as the hero king after his actions at the wall saving everyone. Also doesn't he have the best forces right now, too good to lose without some kind of trick? Am I completely remembering wrong?

You know what would be better?
a combination of CK2 but whit some type of gameplay where you can:
1) be part of the battles
or/and
2)Many people can play in the same "country" or duchy,maybe adding that you , as character can travel to county to county (but not making a first person gameplay, as it could lose it charms)

I agree on paper. I've known since season 2 where she was heading. But the jump to civilian mass murder felt rushed.

They probably should rip off Assassin's Creed premise for easy normie money.

Gotta throw in some shock factor to keep the normies interested.

>felt rushed

Definition of this season. They could have easily spaced this out with double the episodes or another season. The stuff with the wight walkers and winter ended way too soon, and it was the whole central point and overarching plot of the entire story from minute one. It rendered everything that happened before, pointless filler and left us with a much more trivial and irrelevant conflict to close it out. But "rushed" could describe a lot of things about this show for a number of seasons now, such as how everyone travels distances that would takes days/weeks/months with horses and sailing ships in mere hours. The writers are pretty much the biggest hacks in Hollywood now, literally Rian Johnson tier which makes sense because they're buddies.

It's called the difference between being a good ideas guy and a good writer.

Dany went nuclear

>Total War: Game of Thrones

Yeah. I like them all though. I even really like book 4. My only issue with 4/5 is that he takes so much time with world building and setup which I absolutely love, I'm a malazanfag that when a story doesn't get very far it gets frustrating. Not necessarily a criticism of the book itself. but by release. When a book doesn't come out while we are getting closer and closer to ten years.

It's a good series barring the wait for an actual ending. And I think the constant statements of everyone dying is hyperbole.

There's still a fair amount of death, but it's not the blatant and random shock value that HBO fans make the whole series out to be.

which led to this

The same reason why we live in a world where the last 11 years the biggest movie franchise in the world has been the Marvel film series and we still haven't gotten any games to go along with it. The idiots in charge don't know how to use the property or are too cheap to make it.

I think Dunk and Egg are more fit for a spin-off adaption honestly.

There whole thing is random standalone misadventures to play around with.

>doesn't he have the best forces right now
Stannis was Lord of the sparsely populated eastern islands and lost most of his meagre manpower at the Blackwater. He gets some new men in the North; but, the ultimate loyalties of these men probably lie with the Starks or Bloodraven. It's unlikely he'll survive until the Iron Bank mercs can join him.
He get's good morale after the battle with the Wildling's; but, is losing it due to Winter setting in and his poor logistics. Ultimately, he'll be betrayed because gurm is too bluepilled for him to win, him not being in the first book is a giveaway that he probably isn't an endgame force, and he'll die by betrayal because he's too good a commander to die in battle and being betrayeds would be fitting given how autistic he is to other people.

call me retarded but where's a good place to watch this online? i want to watch the first few episodes for a laugh but i'm not paying hulu a cent

All I really want from the next book is for it not to shit on Stannis that the way that the show constantly did. I always felt like the show-runners straight up hated his character for some reason.

I don't blame you for not following the dripfeed of shit devblogs; but, permadeath has already been confirmed.

Ah so this is why she's called Desynteris.

Someone has jerked it to this. You didn't, right user?

It's crazy how show Stannis is VS book Stannis, I tell people I'm a Stannis fan and they go "The guy that burns his fucking daughter?" and I'm like "shit"

I'm in a similar boat but I love the outrage now. First I was angry but now I'm laughing at/with all the people that used to defend D&D. I was commenting on changes throughout and expressed disappointment in a lot of them. I lost it when D&D made Jaime into a rapist. My friends are like

God I fucking love starting as a Lyseni pirate who conquers the stepstones and conquers the iron isalnds before converting to the Drowned God faith,

This is a pretty good idea.

>whose protagonist is gay and doesn't has a bittersweet ending?
The best written homosexuals are from Malazan Book of the Fallen but thats more nihilistic with a hint of bittersweet ending. In general fags piss me off but Steven Erikson's fag characters are okay.

The first three seasons were fucking great because they took their time and cared about the source material. After that though, it's a complete waste of fucking time.

The bible

The problem isn't the harsh things, the problem is shit writing.

>implying it wasn't shit from start

Well he was IN the wrong at the end of book 3. But in the end IJ was far more valuable dead and Kallor was based either way

>Randyll and Dickon weren't given a choice

Yeah, I genuinely liked Feast for Crows for taking a step back from everything for soft-spoken character development and exploring how the war had affected the common folk that everyone else had forgotten about.

It's really slow on the first read though, and it's pretty frustrating reading certain Brienne chapters when we knew that her entire journey was basically a wild goose chase from day one.

The "everyone dies" aspect is way overblown. People die a little more than usual, but you have to remember a lot of normalfags reading/watching are used to works of fiction that are very hesitant to kill off any characters that aren't evil.

God help 'em if they ever try reading The Black Company.

One of the two main protagonists in The Thousand Names series is a dyke.
Might not be what you're looking for.

Homosexuality is a crima against god, don't say you weren't warned when you are in hell, faggot.

Not the central protagonist, but one of the two main leads in The Fifth Season was tragic old gay man.

Don't think the series has ended yet though. Only read the first book.

I enjoyed it, but I'm easy to please.
It's very inspired by Napoleon's campaigns. I enjoyed that it had guns and other 18th century level tech instead of the permanent medieval level that the stereotypical fantasy story has.

iirc, haven't read Dance since it came out, the mountain Flint tribesman are implied to be mystics secretly loyal to a third party

This, well at least the books will have a better ending.

I stopped reading fiction books when I was 15 and realized that no protagonist would ever fall for his best friend. Seems like nothing has changed since. Back to non fiction, codexes and bestiaries it is then.

>You will never had a bro friendship like goblin and one-eye

I'm just a novice myself. You inspire me.

It would need to have a good book series then too.

If the books ever even get finished which is looking less and less likely as the years go by. But yeah, at least the winter and walkers will be the finale instead of this trivial shit. Although Dany is definitely still going to be a villain since she has blatantly always been on track for it.

Thats really specific and it makes me laugh.

Don't know how to feel about that being the thing people are up in arms over. I've been complaining about the show for ages, but I always assumed that that was kind of the foregone conclusion of her story.

I was more bitter about the idea of Jaime being turned into a rapist, or Stannis losing to 20 good men, or Sansa being handed off to Ramsay for little to no reason.

True GOT was good for a time but then went to shit.

I thought it was until S5. S5 was when they started shitting on the books more.

I'd recommend reading at least the first three books.

God why are the covers of older fantasy novels always so fucking aesthetic?

That whole theory's bull honky. What would HBO even have to gain from that? The hype over the book's release would just generate more hype for the franchise as a whole.

They should have adapted Dany's explosive diarrhea.

You could realistically make dozens of good games from the works of Tolkien with very little overlap.

Are the Witcher books any good? I'm really into the games right now and the lore sounds really interesting to me.

Im just mad they did fucked my boy Jaime's plot arc up and cut-up Cleaganebowl with Arya running through the city. Dany's megalomania was the only thing that went right

For real. Fuck that new style they are shitting out. More than anything I miss 80s and pre 80s science fiction and fantasy covers.

Does someone at hbo have a hard-on for that goblina or something? There was absolutely no point to Arya in that whole episode yet the camera kept cutting away to her.

Muslims need to leave this thread

Female character who has been presented as the hero turned out to actually be the most evil character in the story.

The only way they could have done Jaime's story right would have been for him to kill Cersei, but for him to do that she would still have to be a psychotic villain that needed to be stopped and in the face of Dany Cersei just isn't. I wanted a heroic end for him too, but honestly, what we got was still pretty good and fitting. At least he killed that fag Euron.

It tells me nothing about the works's quality. The problem isn't that there is no fiction story with a gay protagonist, the problem is that often times the people who write those stories put the concept of tokenism first and quality writing third.

To be fair it's a lot easier to get your hands on a small lesser known IP than a multi-million dollar property like ASOIAF.

The guys at CD Projekt Red didn't even have to pay the author of the Witcher royalties, because he didn't believe a game of his books would sell anything so he asked for a lump sum.

>surrendered unarmed soldiers

I mean they're probably not gonna stay surrendered if they don't have a guarantee that they'll be taken alive. Once Dany started burning shit that guarantee is gone.

Not for videogames, fucking Telltale games got it. I bet GRRRRRUM licenses it for a full subway card.

Then he tried to sue them because the games sold a fuckton.

>It made perfect sense and was perfectly executed.
If it were from the books. It helps that Book Varys doesn't even support her to begin with.

I always wondered who pushed for all the HBO fan-service in the Telltale game. Was it a contract requirement that they had to bend the story over backwards to fit in as many fan favorites as they could, or were higher-ups just banking on the game selling because Ramsay's face was on the store page?

This. In fact, I think that tokenism impedes good writing. I'm not sure if I'm red-pilled or not, but hamfisting certain tropes just because leaves such a sour taste in my mouth

yeah my only problem with the slower pace of books 4 and 5 is that the climactic battles got moved to book 6 which still isn't out

The One True King is the best way to play the game

After Telltale crashed and burned, it came out that they never really made a profit since The Walking Dead S1. They kept buying these licenses in hope that their games would sell on brand recognition alone, but it never worked.
I suppose they were trying to advertise their most famous franchise at that specific time.

Shitty books and a shitty series.

If you honestly think the white walkers are going to be the final battle, you're retarded. I'm sure they won't go down like a bitch in the books, and they'll probably make it a lot further down south, but Dany is absolutely going to end up being the final boss.

It's because they're doing it for the wrong reasons. The writing, dialogue, plot and pacing has been shit since season 6. They're only mad that they somehow didn't see the mad queen arc from a mile away and their yasqueen feminist fantasy is finally over.

You really should ask this question on r/Fantasy or some other major genre discussion forum. SJW is the name of the game in genre fiction right now and there's bound to be something about happy gay people written recently. Just don't stay there too long, you'll grow retarded.
Most people here are into older stuff.

Based and soulpilled

Yeah. It's D&D. They want her to do everything and have a shit ton of screentime because they think she's just so badass.

Stannis is absolutely going to burn Shireen in the books as well, but it's not going to be over a light snow. Likely, he'll find himself surrounded by the army of the dead, and Melisandre will convince him it's their only hope.

Malazan Book of the Fallen and the other books in the setting are all pretty great. I think the closest we have to a Malazan game are the Dominions series.

The only gay one I can think of off the top of my head was Skulldeath and he was a trap.

Not to mention it's implied that she's going to be the one to kill Dany

Nah. More likely Stannis leaves to deal with stuff. When he's gone shit gets bad and the fire priestess and all the religious light followers sacrifice his daughter. When he returns he is pissed and begins executions and it turns into a huge shitshow as his army destroys itself.

NO NO NO NO NO

You got last night's episode.

The leak has been 100% right so far.

Why is it always a female writer?

The Telltale season was decent, though it'll never have a S2 to resolve all the plotlines. Episode 5 had two different episodes based on who you chose to survive.

That would be completely ignoring the buildup in his story, his arguments with Davos over how sacrifice is never easy and how saving one child is not worth losing millions of other people

This

Genuinely a very good book. Don't let the memes scare you off.

Male writers can't get pussy IRL so they get it in their little world. Women can have dick anytime so they can sometimes write something else.

Most philosophical books are written by dudes who don't get any pussy, and they're about philosophy, not pussy.

Stannis flaw is being too strict and rigid. If his men committed a crime of killing his daughter behind his back for their god, he would give into this flaw and not relent deliver punishment at his detriment. You are crazy if you think the show was right to have him kill his daughter for a god because she's just one girl to save many men.

back to that dead general with you slave

I would like Stannis more if he turned out to be a hypocrite who betrays his own philosophies because his love for his daughter is too strong. After all, he's the King Who Cared.

The show wasn't right in their approach to it, because they were just trying it the bookmark of "GRRM told us Stannis burns Shireen." They hated Stannis as a character, and never understood him.

Stannis is currently in full "save the realm before you rule the realm" mode. If he gets into a hopeless situation during the war for the dawn, where they're all likely going to die anyway, but there's even a chance that burning shireen would save them all, Stannis would do it. The ultimate goal of his story is sacrifice. And sacrifice is never easy.

Philosophy doesn't count, we're talking fantasy here. Also, you haven't been paying close attention.

It was easily the worst TT game I've played. The other games at least give you the illusion of your choices mattering on your first playthrough, but in GoT you can feel the rails under your feet at all times. As for the story, it's pure stylistic hackwork; they tried to capture GRRM's shock factor with no understanding of why the audience cares.

I thought there were good moments, but Telltale's big fake-out choices were getting a bit frustrating at that point, and I wish that they were able to tell more of their own story in the same setting rather than rely so much on the show's popularity with a bunch of cameos and Stark lookalikes.

But even so I think it's a shame to have the season set up and never being able to explore any more of its potential after a cliffhanger ending.

Let's be honest user, it's a fetish, females literally fetishize and objectify gay males.

If Davos is there to talk him down again, I could see him becoming a hypocrite, and dooming them all for it. That's a very GRRM thing to do.

It's also very GRRM to have him go through with the sacrifice, just for it all to be meaningless, as his advisors have all been constantly telling him he's the chosen one destined to save the world, even though he isn't. A heartwrenching scene of a supposed hero burning his own child alive in the hopes of saving the day, only for the long night to continue on and overwhelm them all.

Fujoshi. Women find gay guys hot.

Why don't males write more lesbians then?

Literally a three sided game of Dominions 5

Tavore, Tamber, Blend, Picker. Though not what that dude was probably looking for.

Yeah, while I'd rather see Stannis get a better ending, I could see him burning Shireen in the end at Mel's behest if absolutely everything that can go wrong does go wrong, but I think it'd have to be during an absolute horror-show of desperation.

Like after the Wall comes down with white walkers climbing over the rubble and with nothing left to stop them.

GoT series was no easy thing to make, we should be happy we got to the ending of that story in the first place.
Pretty sure that GoT is based on how the books will end, so Stannis will most likely have the same ending in the books as well.
In the show, Stannis basically had to go. So the writers made his whole campaign smaller. He was a protag in S2 only.
Book Stannis is a great character.

Because they usually go for visual stuff like 3D works or drawing/painting.

I'm not sure how they would do it but I'd probably like it

The last thing the videogame industry needs is to have Marvel and Game of Thrones plaguing it.
We've already seen how much damage Marvel and GoT have done to cinema and TV.

>Pretty sure that GoT is based on how the books will end
The show is far too different from the books at this point for that to be possible. Resurrected Catelyn Stark, Rhaegal's son who survived the sack of KL, Barristan being alive, Tyrion and the Second Sons, Cersei's incompetence, it's all shit that the show threw out.

Good thing From Software is working with the author on an RPG.

From a narrative written point of view the story is just fine in the show.

If you bitch that
>Arya killed the night king
>Danny went full retard
>Jon snow didn't have an epic sword battle with night king
Consider you have 70 IQ and are a fucking moron.
>Jamie fight

It is however okay to bitch that
>it was rushed
>Danny went unchallenged on her dragon and her plan to use a dragon to destroy all the boats is stupid
>that they didn't have a scouting boat to move her army through the water when her second dragon died

The shows story is written very well and most likely similar to the book. However they cut corners on logic to push the main plot.

The red wedding was fine. Now the NK episode is one real fuck up

This is epic, especially the pepe. Bravo, truly on a level comparable to dabid

>it's great and if you say otherwise you're 70iq!
hopefully HBO pays you well for this

This and with how long book 6 and 7 are taking he may have changed the ending to Jon and Dany fucking, getting together, and ruling together so he can keep her paranoia in check.

Star citizen is never coming fool

>The shows story is written very well
It shows the exact opposite you fuck. Look through seasons 1-4 for good writing

From a narrative point of view Arya killing the Night King still makes zero fucking sense. You're not only a sub 70 iq brainlet but you're also a faggot. Agree with everything else though.

HBO actually wanted the series to continue were wiling to give DD additional funding for GoT to at least send it off properly. But DD declined and said 6 episodes were enough.

Guess they were in a hurry to start that Starwars Trilogy.

Ah yes, that diabetic fatass decided to write SJW garbage.

Are the Mount & Blade mods even half as good as The Last Days of the Third Era? TLDotTE ruined M&B for me because it was so superior to any other way of playing the game. Is there any sense of something actually fucking happening like in TLDotTE? I know there are two, is one superior to the other?

I just want them to stop hurting me but it never stops.

There's nothing to understand in ASOIAF, there's no depth, just characters who are different kinds of scum and whom you look forward to seeing die as painfully as possible.

pepe? More like peepee

The show =/= the source material

when d&d could straight plagiarize the show was really good
when they had to use their brains it wasn't
every single time

it wasn't even like a roll of the dice or anything
every single time D&D had an original thought it was some of the worst possible decision making you could ever fathom
if they had just waited or let george release the books then shit wouldn't be so bad

The source material where Martin spends pages describing a woman shitting for hours?
The books are fucking hilarious.

This. Seasons 1-4 (i think) are genuinely great television

Someone should kidnap GRRM and Patrick Rothfuss and tell them to finally finish their books or else they will be subjected to an intense diet regimen.

Fucking fat bastards can't right a chapter for years.

that's being intellectually dishonest and you know it
you may not enjoy the way the show has gone but the books are far different forms of media than the show

lmao, it was SJW trash from episode 1.

We'll let you keep believing that.

If that were the case, what does that have to do with SJWs?
Also there's still good characters (both morally and well written). Most of the Starks, Barristan, Tyrion (arguably), and Aegon.

>not enjoying ladies poop
get this uncultured swine out of here

No, i'm talking about characters and motivations, there's not a single character I would side with, it was different levels of scum.
The only way you could rate the main characters is in which order you'd like to see them die.
And that's the only proper way this can end, with all of the remaining ones dying, specially Dany and Jon.
Why the fuck did they bring Jon back anyway?

They really should have put this in the show.

this is the best meme that instantly informs anyone who reads it just how stupid the poster actually is
regurgitating anything you hear as if it was an original thought

the chapter is described from a young girl's perspective what happens when you have dysentery but have absolutely no idea what it is or what's happening to your body
it's actually quite well written if you can think beyond poop jokes

When Bran is the one to take the Iron Throne and become King of Westeros I will bathe in the volcanic rage that twitter will erupt in

>Why the fuck did they bring Jon back anyway?
confirmed for being a showlet

My God you are really dumb dude. Arya for 8 seasons is built up as a warrior and assassin. Her prophecy involves killing high priority targets that will change the world. Sorry you are too stupid to see that.

Before episode 3 I guessed that either Arya or Sam were most likely to kill thr night King based on the written narrative. With me siding with Arya much more. Are you really a stupid 70 IQ moron that thought Jon snow was going to get a epic sword fight with the night king? That is not a written centerpiece of his character.

Really dumb man.

The night king is already 100% a show invention, so of course he isn't gonna die the same way as the books. He doesn't exist in the books. But George has said countless times since the show passed him that they are going to have the same ending. Ignoring that is just retarded.

The books are genuinely good books. I dont know why retards here try to pretend like they are actually bad.

You mean starting at s5.

Because 90% of people talking here haven't actually read it and are just going by what they read in other places.

I'll stand by my statement that book 4 was shit. Not one interesting chapter in that whole book, minus Brienne's final one.
Especially Sam's chapters where he just goes on a fucking boat and in bravos the whole book.

Because no one wants to bear with GRRM's garbage prose.
At parts it feels as if it was written by a 12 year old.
No wonder it only became popular among the people who unironically watch Marvel movies.

No. AWoI&F is more story based but it's very difficult to follow, unlike the looming invasion that is TLDotTA. ACoK has stuff and more invasions, but they feel very watery.

>can't right
These are the 70 IQ brainlettes bitching. Ahahahahahha

Nigger, having an IQ below 70 is a requierement to enjoy Game of Thrones.
It's why most of the fanbase is American.

>But George has said countless times since the show passed him that they are going to have the same ending. Ignoring that is just retarded.
not true
he's only said he's given an outline of the ending of the story to d&d, and that was way back in the very early seasons
the fat fuck can't even write one paragraph without having to go back and alter dozens of other chapters, there's no way he's following this disaster of an ending that anyone who's ever touched the books saw from 5 years away
I'm sure the creator, who purposefully distanced himself from the show, doesn't have a concrete plan for the end
that of which you can obviously see they haven't followed, at all

>Someone said that the characters used to drive the plot, and now the plot drives the character.
I always felt this was the case for Jon Snow in the books. One reason I never liked him.

Question, in s4 of GOT Bran saw King's Landing frozen and a dragon flying over it, ignoring the garbage ending, in the books does this mean the Night's King will attack King's Landing with a dragon and take over?
