Teased boss fight throughout a game never happens

Fable 2

I have a genuine question about GOT
Does it have a message? Does it teach something to you? Or is it just made for money?

It teaches you how to suck my dick.

you can finish your books and still ruin everything, pic related and the Witcher Netflix series

it teaches that white people are the devil and that it's our responsibillity as a society to help the white genocide via racemixing.

No of course it doesn't has a message? Why does everything has to have a fucking message you mongrel?

just made for money, if you want a tv series that teaches you valuable life lessons, just watch reruns of the Red Green Show

the state of this fanbase

The story has some allegory about looking at bigger problems in the world rather than squabbling with politics
But then in the show they stab the global warming analog with a magic dagger and everything's fine and back to petty politics

>implying I watch this shit
No my friend, I'm just here to shitpost

I am 100% sure you already made this question and everyone told you that the books are just books that narrate a story.

i think the user is phrasing it a little weird, and is asking if the show has any substance, it doesn't

Dragons Dogma.

then why the fuck do you watch it?

The Madhatter in Alice Madness Return.
Fuck you, EA, for rushing that game.

This motherfucker. They teased it for 3 games in a row and it still never happened

i did it on Yea Forums a few days back, but i wanted more answers

it has boobies and duels and stuff.
Game of Thrones is a poor mans version of I, Claudius, but less erotic, less impactful, worse special effects and leauges worse acting.

>give women power, they'll go crazy because they can't handle it
Seems to be the overall theme D&D were going for

>Bioshock Infinite
that was such a disappointing game

It was originally supposed to be anti-war with the White Walkers completely wiping out humanity if they don't see past their differences and fight against the White Walkers together, but D&D just removed that.

When the fuck has john ever done anything in any of the major battles (other than getting his ass rescued like a damsel in distress)? What were you expecting?

Shit taste, Kit has a nice ass but that's about it.

it WAS a decent show.

The point of GoT is what happens after the whole Good guys vs Bad guys story

>"best written"

cia didn't even have an agenda other than getting in sansa's pants. what did he think he was going to accomplish taking winterfell? it seemed like all his plotting and scheming led butt fuck nowhere

I thought he wanted to become the uber king or something? Or did they change his motivation later in the series?

woah dude you learn by watching tv shows? anyways got teaches you to respect your queen and let her slayyy yaaas

I think he wanted to convince Sansa to somehow take the throne, and marry her so he'd essentially be the "king" or something

The main story won't be deleted from existance, you retard, unlike aSoIaF, which isn't even finished.
Well, I think it's actually finished but the clever fatso has waiting to the show to end, so it can maintain the IP in the spotlight the most time possible, but he may just be a lazy cunt, or have no idea how to finish it at all.

People aren't inherently good or bad, we all have both in us. Everyone is complex, and different things to different people. To condemn people entirely for their mistakes, or ignore their flaws, are both equally dangerous things to do.

The world is a complex place, and actions can have unintended consequences, even when we have good intentions. Just because you may be justified in an amoral action, doesn't mean it won't eventually grow into something that bites you, and everyone else, in the ass.

Ultimately humanities division and hatreds are our greatest weaknesses. Dividing ourselves into self interested camps weakens us both individually, and a whole.

Perception is a powerful tool, and people tend to build their perceptions on preconceptions and assumptions, which is a good way to be fucking wrong, as well as get exploited.

And a bunch of other major themes.

he just got off on influencing things from the shadows

last episode had a generic message about pursuit of revenge

redpill me on the Witcher books. The general consensus seems to be that the short story collections are god-tier while the novels start off great and turn to shit around book 4. Is that true?

General Scales, from Star Fox Adventures. Fuck that moment.

The funny thing about the shitshow surrounding GoT at the moment is that if you have ever watched ANYTHING that first follows a written story (Book/VN/Manga) and then either deviates completely or outpaces the said source material completely fucks over anyone that was expecting the same quality as was before.
The mongrels who do not grasp that simple concept are the ones who are crying that the world is ending because GoT is not anywhere as good as it used to be when GRRM was helping.
And looking at the cesspool that is Yea Forums makes you wonder if any of the posters are above the age of 16.

The novels are fine, they just have some filler that kinda makes em...eh near in some places. Overall they're still pretty great but I find the short stories more charming. If you don't have time for novels, definitely read the short stories at least

does your vidya have a message? does it teach something to you? or is it just made for money?

Diadact from Halo 4

MGS2

The novels are fine but the ending is "rocks fall and everyone dies" tiers of shit. CDProject put together a far better ending in the Witcher 3 basegame ending and he's eternally butthurt over it

Potentially any game where you can talk your way passed a boss.
Diablo 3 teases you with the idea of getting in a fight with Imperius and then that never happens.
In Warframe the game isn't completely finished so certain bad guys and potential bad guys in the lore aren't available to be fought yet.
Although the Lady of Pain is a big deal in Planescape you don't get to actually fight her in Planescape Torment, nor get in a real conflict with her (since not every boss encounter has to be a fight per se).
Strategy games where the big bad super army led by the greatest enemy general might never fight you, or their faction may be wiped out before they can fight you.
In Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Morrowind, you beat the final boss not through fighting them.
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines.

It has many situations that have many possible lessons and interpretations. Plus a few moments where a character just outright tells another character a lesson or they ponder potential lessons from the life story of another character in their history.

Fucking DAD OF WAR

"Odin this, thor that, Odin's a dick, thor rapes babies"

And then you don't even SEE EITHER of them.

Just such blatant sequel bait.

Thor and Odin are oblivious sequelbait.

It doesn't have a message in the same way that Snowpiercer or Watchmen does or anything.

But there are strong themes in the books about how those with power treat human lives like play things... GAME of thrones, after all. Then there's also themes about people bickering over meaningless power in the face of something that will come fuck them all in the ass. Additionally it deeply explores ideas around pragmatism vs. idealism

It's been years, but I think so yes.

At which point did he lose his brain and became incapable of doing anything but saying "muh queen" and "ah don' wan' it"? Fucking hell, I had grown to like this character halfway through the series.

lolno. FFXV dlcs are milking leftover assets and ideas. Every single one is absolutely pointless. You get a """new""" system in every single one, so as you can expect it is completely barebones and can barely support the 1-2 hours it takes to run through them.

Yes.

"Fuck You."

Ah yes, she tried to seduce him and kill him to save Rickon.

>"Themes are for eight grade book reports"
Literal quote from one of the showrunners

No, it has nothing of value worth saying. It is a vapid time waste where boring, bland characters barely emote to one another and where the audience is meant to clap when someone dies. It's for over-sized children who want an epic fantasy story but are too afraid of any real commentary.

Short Stories are great, to the point and concise. Novels are... A short story streched to a few books over the first too many.

The same "Danny kinda forgot about the Iron fleet" guy? Because he is fucking dumb as fuck.

Why are gamers and other plebs who mainly consume mainstream media like TV and capeshit so obsessed with endings? Most endings, whether it's a book or a song, aren't very interesting, but that doesn't mean the actual work can't be great.

>wahh the last cutscene wasn't good all the fun i had with mass effect is void now reee

It really does help to write with a central theme or themes in mind. It's why anime is much better than western television. What is the message of the big bang theory or dexter? That N64 emulators are poorly coded? Or that you can be a super hero serial killer if you just kill the le bad men? Western shows are pathetic, Game of Thrones is getting rightfully hung up to dry.

when he died. they took way too long to revive him and he lost most of his braincells

>Most endings, whether it's a book or a song, aren't very interesting
so you basically just asked starving people 'whats so good about food anyway?'

>show writers get tons of praise and movie deals while riding the high of adapting GRRM's writing
>it all comes crumbling down in the last season of the show where their incompetent writing becomes too bad even for normies
I hope their star wars deal is cancelled over the backlash.

imagine a firework rocket, you light it, it goes up and then, nothing. You would be disappointed and sad.

Why are they so fixated on having large armies fighting outside the fucking walls every time?

>who cares if you shit on my food? if the one i ate before was good then i will eat the shit anyways, meal was great overall!

Because Dumb & Dumber want spectacle, not realism. That's why the Dothraki did their stupid charge in episode 3.

REMINDERS
>the book ending will be the same as the show ending
>the Daenerys twist was always George's final trick fooling you into rooting for an antagonist
>the Others are just a distraction and a red herring to take your mind off of Dany's descent
>the Night King outright doesn't exist in the books and Jon won't end the threat there either
>the prophecies are not important and none of them will come true and Jaime will go back to Cersei
>(finale leak spoilers)Bran becoming the king was always the plan and makes no sense in the books or the show

zerg battles require 2 braincells to write. actual strategy is hard to write.

>I hope their star wars deal is cancelled over the backlash.

I don't, let them kill Shit Wars too. Then give them Marvel movies to kill them too.

That'd be a good analogy if a game or a TV show was only its ending. In reality, the reality is just a tiny fraction of it, and expecting greatness from this logistical necessity of storytelling will only lead to disappointment.

This, all women in power ruined everything.

Luner: Dragon Song.

The worst part of the season for me, hands down, is how they butchered Jon. Why is he so whipped all of a sudden? Why did he watch Varys get burned alive without doing or even saying anything about it? Why is Daenerys his queen? It can't be because he loves her; he clearly loved Ygritte, but he was still able to betray her in order to do what he thought was right.

I always thought the implied Targaryens would end up riding the dragons along with Dany in the final battle for the books, them being Jon and Tyrion

GoT hasn't been good in years, we wanted a satisfying conclusion at least, but we're not getting it.

unrelated but you made me remember that retarded ghost fight. what the fuck were they thinking

>implying it's just about the ending
S7 was as shit as S8, and the show had already been on the decline long before that since they ran out of book material.

>does it have a message
Martin is fairly left leaning so the representations of "goodness and justice" in his characters are clearly informed by that. But he tells the story in such a way that it makes you ponder if goodness and justice are always wise or realistic.

no one cares about what happens in the middle of shows, books, or other forms of media
all that matters is the beginning and the ending, if you make both of those good, people will call your work good

See, you're just the kind of pleb I'm talking about.

Oh yeah... that was an odd choice.

It's just a tv show but there are some interesting themes.

Slavery.
It's got one of the more realistic and nuanced takes on slavery. It shows both sides the pros and cons. It even goes so far as to explicitly have a former slave beg for Danerys to bring it back after she abolished it, he explained how at his age he is going to be homeless and starving without slavery.

It shows that honor is often meaningless and only gets you killed.

It shows that no amount "skill" can overcome size and armor.

It shows that just because you are good and have the moral high ground that doesn't mean you'll win the fight.

Yeah it's the same guy. There's a video of him and the cast at some kind of conference/panel being interviewed by the audience, and when asked who was his favorite non-POV character to adapt he said Sam (who is a major POV character in the books). Kit Harington even tried to subtly point it out to him but he didn't get it.

At around 13:55

The books are great too. Caligula’s death scene in the first is pretty savage.

The show started to sink after season 4.
>that godawful Dorne arc
What the fuck were they thinking?

What do we think of Dany now? Do we still like her? Is she still our girl?

>It shows that no amount "skill" can overcome size and armor.
The Viper won the fight, but he wanted more than that and got reckless wich costed him his life.

She wasn't our girl until S8E3 and she just got /ourer/ since, culminating in the previous episode. Even all of /got/ likes her now and they are staunch woman haters who couldn't stop ripping her apart before.

>Put aside petty squabbles for power and focus on real issues that affect us all

Oh wait nvm ninja bitch killed blue darth maul get back to fighting for that throne.

show is good at first but turns into jewish shit after a few seasons, books are great with lots of symbolism and messages

It was suppose to be "War bad" iirc.

BROWN WATER

My sister likes her now, for some reason.
Didn't mind her much until she sent the dragons to btfo the civilians.
I don't know why she likes genociders so much.

>It even goes so far as to explicitly have a former slave beg for Danerys to bring it back after she abolished it, he explained how at his age he is going to be homeless and starving without slavery.
That just shows that slavery ruined that man's life

I'm pretty sure it doesn't teach anything. It's just battles, sex and politics, purely for entertainment.

Wrong. Slavery gave him purpose and focus. For that, he should be grateful.

Pic related.

Of course, what isn't a fucking mess about anything involving FF13?

It's primary message is college-hood nihilism not really dissimilar to that other popular slock The Walking dead. Everyone is out to get you, everyone will sell out their mothers for slight advancement, there's no such things as friends or honour etc etc good guys finish last. A teenager's understanding of the human race and history essentially.

It is, of course, a childish world view as humans would never have advanced out of the medieval age and created modern civilisation if no one worked together and everyone was just backstabbing each-other all the time. Alas it's still a popular world view in this age despite it being stupid.

More like "people bad" but "war bad" is good too. People thought "climate change bad" was going to be one of the themes too but the WW were jobbers so that's not it. George was a draft-dodging hippie, so that's to be expected.

Shut up D&D

Maybe they should bring back slavery for Yea Forumsirgins then

When you play the Game of Thrones, no one wins.

What a shit analogy
Compare it to something like a full course meal
You get an amazing entrèe which makes you incredibly excited for the rest
The main course is alright, but nothing like the starting dish
The dessert leaves you disappointed and wanting just another starting dish.

This: youtube.com/watch?v=ek2O6bVAIQQ

Basically; it started off by challenging the "Great Men of History" idea (ie; it was all thanks to this one ruler being good/bad that good/bad things happened), and removed plot armour from important characters. Protagonists who did stupid shit for the sake "epicness" or "heroism" got killed where other series would have them make it out at the last second. Eg; Drogo died of an infect cut because he let his enemy cut him to show how manly he was. And Ned Stark got assassinated because he stupidly followed the exact same paper-trail his predecessor did, despite getting warnings all around. So it basically did away with "good" and "bad" by making the "heroes" and "villains" have no easy answers for what they wanted to do.

But it's also about challenging the idea of power being derived from violence, and the protagonists have, as the series has gone on, tried to get out from under that shadow. Of course, with no easy answers; the might very much fail by the end.

....except the show shit the bed a couple seasons ago and has just gotten worse and worse and is clearly only about the violence and how epic it is.

Like, it's almost there. It's almost saying "we don't have to run the world based on violence", but they've handled that theme so fucking hamfistedly with character's archs doing 180s multiple times to the point they've been ruined. The Hound was a character who very much embraced violence, paid a high price for it and almost died, disappeared for a season presumed dead, returned as a begruding pacifist taken in by hippies...then did a 180 by the end of the episode and went back to being pro-violence. Then his entire arch then on just became about revenge and he's acting like that's always been his motivation.

The most insulting bit of it all is how last two seasons have been killing off characters they simply didn't know what to do with or just "lol because"

The ending is the most important part of a history

I hate Spoony, but he's right about the current popular shows and video games that promote nihilism and cynicism as pragmatic realism: It's all just "misery porn." GoT and Last of Us, the Walking Dead all depict nothing but turmoil ahead, with no signs of change in sight. Yes, it's true pragmatism will probably lead to higher survival rates in life, and living life as selfish and cruel can and will probably avoid the consequences that results in people exploiting a selfless act or mercy, but is that a message any of us truly want to live by? Do people wish to exist in a world that contributes to human condition they despise so much by following its example, never changing it?

This is why Berserk, despite being low-fantasy and as gruesome and cruel as ASOIAF, still has the protagonist drudging on, changing better as person, and retaining some semblance of idealism and values he once held, even regaining some of it, if not to spite his archenemy, Griffith, then for the sake of the one he truly loves most: Casca. That's why it's still a better work that depicts and defines dark-fantasy than GURM ever could.

nobody posted the redditor spoilers yet?

I don't think anyone cares about this shit enough to be "spoiled". I have enough with my normie coworkers clucking about how shit the show is now every day and nodding along

your retarded coworkers complain about the wrong stuff though
also waiting for release and not going to bed is the opposite of "doesn't care"

Anyone HERE cares enough, should have clarified. May want to bring that shit over to Yea Forums
