I had lost interest in THE WINDS OF WINTER and A DREAM OF SPRING but watching the trainwreck of Season 8 made me become interested again, with a little bit of hope that the characters and story have some meaningful closure.

I disagree with him automatically believing supposed Gamergate victims but he's right in saying that threats and slurs have no place in civilized discourse.

>'Great Rune' is From Software new title [Open World, Norse mythology, GRR Martin, premiere at MS E3 Press Conference]

>George RR Martin has apparently joined forced with FromSoftware, creators of the git gud Soulsborne collection of videogames like Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. But don’t assume it’s going to be set in the world of Game of Thrones, as rumours have it that this game - titled Great Rune, supposedly - is set in the Norse world, exploring Norse mythology and all its dark legends.

>Whisperings began circling on the internet in early 2019 and went into a lot more detail about what players can expect: you’ll be invading kingdoms and stealing the powers of their rulers after a FromSoftware-style battle, which will then serve you well when you have to fight other kings. All I can say is that I hope Martin hasn’t forgotten that he’s also got the Game of Thrones book series to finish, as after that Game of Thrones ending there’s a hell of a lot of things people are going to want to Martin write (and justify) in his own words…

I just hope From innovates more on their combat, give some more diversity to it and more ways to tackle combat encounters and hopefully some environmental interactivity.
I can dig the Norse myth stuff though, I loved listening to the stories when I was a child.

Is it about the Norse? The Ironborn in Asoiaf are easily the worst written part of the books. Their whole society and islands make no sense

heh, first he got HBO to finish his book series, now he got From to start writing his new books. now that's a bait and switch scam.

Doesn't at all sound like it's related to Asoiaf.

Fucking hell. Go back and work on your own shit martin. I don't want you anywhere near stuff I actually like, and I sure as hell don't want your fans within a billion miles of me

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 Manichaean 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.

HBO was hoping he'd finish his next book before the end of season 4. He didn't, so George supposedly gave a rough outline for how he wanted the story to end and then trusted D&D to write the rest of the story and fill in the gaps themselves. To this day he still hasn't another book since the series first started back in 2011.

Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?

Legitimately insightful, user. The subversion/deconstruction relies upon something external to BE subverted and deconstructed. It's a parasite upon the real, substantive goodness of a work like LOTR that gets its kicks from mocking goodness and scoffing at nobility as "unrealistic" or "patriarchal". Badness has no power of its own, it can only gain ground by being "a good thing spoiled." Exactly as Frodo talked about in Mordor.

If it’s the enemy, there’s killing without separation between civilians and soldiers. That falls within collateral damage. How many people are being killed in attacks in Afghanistan? The Lord of the Rings is a movie that has no problem doing that [not separating civilians from enemies, apparently].

I feel like everyone misinterprets this. He isn't saying that Tolkien should of done that for LoTR. He's explaining the difference in their fiction. How he grounds typical fantasy to relate more to our world, how just trying to be a "good person" is never enough.

You laugh but I wouldn't be at all surprised considering he never missed any of the female role auditions.

It's the way he's saying it, and in light of his other comments, that seem to snidely suggest there was some kind of deficiency in Tolkien's work that he has addressed. Same thing with how he called Tolkien's depiction of war 'dishonest' because there was no sexual violence.

I don't even like either franchise but MH definitely has better combat than Souls. All of the "epic gamur skillz" dodging/reaction times/animation reading but with actual depth to the combat mechanics/character building on top of it.

He's literally right you fucking schiziod. I know for a fact that death threats were sent to them because some of my friends did it and bragged about it to me.

How does that even work, son?

Oh he 100% comes off as a snide bastard with the way he speaks.

His last update on winds of winter had him pissed fans actually believed he could of finished a book, and compared his not finishing it, with the world being round.

He's sort of a bitter old man, but I never felt like he was belittling Tolkiens work in that quote.

I can only comment on ASOIAF, but I hated the books--I literally read them as a tolerance/discipline exercise.
Here is what I recall hating:
The dialogue was all crutches and edge with shitty faux-idioms and cusses in profusion.
The plot is a weak mashup of Romance of the three kingdoms and the war of the roses with popsicle zombies.
George loves to use obnoxious onomatopoeia. Trumpets go haroo and shit like that.
He seems to have no spacial reasoning-- the ice wall is absurdly huge.
The prose is as flabby as George was, and he has slimmed down a lot in the OP picture.

All that said, it is not bad as far as modern fantasy goes. It's perhaps the genre with the most receptive and undiscerning readership. They happily chew on a plate of shit as long as there are dragon and wizard bits in the crapola.
I also feel sorry for George as he seems aware of his middling talent.

Actually the gamergate side was pretty okay with it unless it was time to signal their virtue. You can't actually be so dishonest as to suggest a movement born of Yea Forums of all places valued civil discourse.

>Lying

This. Once again braindead leftists prove they are what they claim to fight against

Lame.

I mean what you're suggesting is literally a logical impossibility so I guess it's no wonder you refuse to clarify at all and resort to vague dismissals but it would've been amusing to see you try.

STOP

You imply Gamergaters are even a thing in the first place, retard. the drama has been over for years.à

That's your projection

>my friends
sure they did

Worst part of the books is his overuse of the word "loping". The direwolves always lope, everywhere they go. Fuck.

this, you should have seen thos gators, they were out for blood, it was a real massacre on the internet, it had never been such a serious bzns

Of course I was there. Gamergate's ability to deny the obvious remains baffling to me.

The main characters actually have plenty of plot armor. The main characters just aren't who you think they are at the start of the series.

FUCK OFF HACKYAZAKI MAKE ARMORED CORE SIX

this has been his writing method since day fucking 1

>You imply Gamergaters are even a thing in the first place, retard. the drama has been over for years.

What a sad "no u" attempt

The fact that you're telling me this itself proves you wrong.

Nah you weren't. People got obsessed over their image and that's what killed the entire things because of all those false death threats accusations

Imagine being this obsessed over a boogeyman that fucked off into another chan after a row of drama.

Gamergate really is the videogame Auschwitz. Can't let go of that horse huh?

>already sluring

Yes, the virtue signalling I mentioned. Unfortunately it was an uphill battle for them because of the real actual death threats associated with them.

Son, if they fucked off, then why are so many of them in this thread?

I think he is, though. That's why he establishes that it's a "quibble" with Tolkien and not simply a stylistic difference.
He also said Tolkien made a mistake bringing back Gandalf, and that he should have remained dead.
It's not just his tone; he clearly is suggesting LOTR would be better if it was written according to his ideals.

Much like your own claim that GG did dead threats. Even after the fucking FBI investigated the entire thing and told people they were clean.

This is about what's happening in the here and now, but when it comes to back then, are you saying you don't remember? Or were you not there yourself? Do you think it makes sense to claim that no one cared at the time when someone is still carrying a grudge about it five years on?

It's from a retarded interview with Hayao Miyazaki, not Fromsoft Miyazaki.

>Even after the fucking FBI investigated the entire thing and told people they were clean.
Ah, that's a common misrepresentation. What the FBI actually concluded was that gamergate was in no position to actually carry out the threats, and then they washed their hands of the whole internet drama. But of course, in order to determine this, they first had to determine that the threats had in fact been made, and by whom. Gamergate wasn't cleared at all, but rather confirmed to have been making those threats. But they were also confirmed to be a bunch of doughy internet tough guys.

Nice attempt at moving the goalpost. There's no grudge to be seen about Martin comment anywhere, only mockery. The real grudge here is that fatman still hasn't released his fucking books, his comments were drowned out in noises at the time so it clearly doesn't matter today.

>Gamergate wasn't cleared at all, but rather confirmed to have been making those threats.

That's a big fat lie. It was impossible to determine who was making the threats but people still pointed fingers and convinced themselves otherwise.

>There's no GGer in here.
There obviously is? I don't believe you're following my logic at all. See, my logic is that I make an observation and draw a conclusion from that. Yours seems to be to deny all observations and make up whatever you want.
>There's no grudge to be seen about Martin comment anywhere, only mockery.
That's your subjective interpretation but the fact is there is someone in this thread whose first thought when the topic of GRRM comes up is that he made a lukewarm anti-gamergate throwaway comment five years back and that this supposedly makes him "dumb as hell". Yeah, they're not mad.
>I'm just calling you out on your lies sweetie

Oh, so it went from "we know the SJWs did it themselves" to "actually we can't know"? Regardless, it's not impossible if you're the FBI, and a couple gamergaters did get a stern talking to.

They're okay. Skip the characters you don't like, read the characters you do. That's what I do.

>There obviously is? I don't believe you're following my logic at all. See, my logic is that I make an observation and draw a conclusion from that. Yours seems to be to deny all observations and make up whatever you want.
You're the one making the broad claim there's GGers in here when the movement has been dead for 5 years. Stellar observational skills pal

High literature right there.

Gurm writing Dany having diarrhea. It gets posted when people think he's actually a good writer and not some edgelord ripping off history and adding in his fetishes and dragons and shit

so there is nothing to it
he just wanted to write some scat porn?

From Software owns my hole

>You're the one making the broad claim there's GGers in here when the movement has been dead for 5 years.
user, again, we can plainly observe that the movement is not dead as we can see the gamergaters in this thread with our own eyes. And that is what's so sad. Claiming that they're not gamergaters because the movement is dead is affirming the consequent and it's a formal logical fallacy.

Also, you should know that

>That's called a bait and you got hooked.
Oh, okay, when all else fails, they were just pretending to be retarded? But why pretend to be a gamergater five years on? And why pretend like me recognising what he's pretending to be is an obsession?
>Being delusional isn't really lying, I agree.
You're still a liar.

Pretty much.

GOT is the biggest sheep bait ever

>Also, you should know that
lol whoops got sidetracked mid sentence

You should know that definite confirmed gamergaters can still be observed to discuss gamergate-related issues on their known hangouts on reddit, twitter, and the other chan, so your claim that the movement is dead is not based in reality. It's sadly trudging on and the results can be seen in this thread even if you'd like to be able to deny it.

Yes he constantly brings up shit and shitting, when Tywin Lannister dies GRRM goes into detail about his bowels voiding, there's another passage where a ship creaks 'like a fat man straining to shit'

>user, again, we can plainly observe that the movement is not dead as we can see the gamergaters in this thread with our own eyes.
And that's plainly untrue, nobody is associated with GG here, you're the one making this bold claim without foundation. Talking about what happened back then isn't proof of being part of a bygone movement. It's pure projection on your part.

>Oh, okay, when all else fails, they were just pretending to be retarded?
How new are you? Are you seriously going to doubt someone is going to do some ironic shitposting in the hope of baiting retards on Yea Forums?
>You're still a liar.
No, sweetie.

The books are already finished.

>never played NGB
Literal fucking pleb

Why do people want another fucking souls game? There have been 6 released in the last 10 years and they all play extremely similarly. So many companies get made fun of for rehashing yet FromSoft is praised for re-releasing very similar games every 1.5 years.

Which makes it the perfect pairing for Dark Souls, the biggest sheep bait in vidya.

he went on record to say that's not true though, keep believing it if it makes you feel better

Yes.

Everything in the list sounds spot on except Nioh.

>And that's plainly untrue, nobody is associated with GG here
How is it "plainly untrue" when plainly, people are seen to be associating themselves with GG in this very thread? That seems to be the opposite of plainly untrue.
>Are you seriously going to doubt someone is going to do some ironic shitposting in the hope of baiting retards on Yea Forums?
I am going to doubt that someone went to the effort of digging up a five year old quote for the purpose of pretending to be retarded now. No, he had that lying around. And you know why. Also, why would it even be worth the effort to pretend to be a gamergater if, as you claim, the movement is dead?
>No, sweetie.
More lies :^)

so true

GG was only a major "movement" for about a month. After that it was a tiny fringe group mostly on Reddit. By this point there are probably less than 100 people who actually still care about that shit and there are hundreds of thousands of people who come here.

>How is it "plainly untrue" when plainly, people are seen to be associating themselves with GG in this very thread? That seems to be the opposite of plainly untrue.

The tininess of their fringe minority is offset by how vocal and incredibly online they are. You still can't point out that Zoe Quinn did nothing wrong on Yea Forums without multiple people tripping over themselves to sell you their narrative.

When it is associated with that group, yeah. You claim I don't know how it works but you clearly don't really understand how people work and what could motivate someone to post that picture in particular if you think they're all just interchangeable "old pictures".

I never participated in gamergate at ANY point and I have to call your bullshit out here. Zoe Quinn slept with reviewers to get them to positively review her shitty game. The reason why this is bad is because it means other indie game devvelopers who worked harder on their games lost sales and attention to her shitty half assed game. If you can't see how that is unfair and immoral you're being disingenuous.

Factually false. If repeating gamergate's false narrative and taking their side on the made-up issue central to the entire movement doesn't make you a gamergater, what does?

yes thats why even the shitposters admit they just wanna finish reading the story

>I have, repeatedly.
Well then point it out for brainlets because you are clearly superior to all of us here. Point out the messages that clearly make people into death threats dealing gamergaters.

Oh, I clearly can't see what would motivate someone to post an old pic of Martin retardation in a GRRM related thread on Yea Forums in the hope of baiting someone into some kind of overreaction... Of course, it's a Gamergater! It has to be! Here, my picture implies that Turks are cockroach so that clearly associate me with some kind of white supremacist movement!

What makes you a member of a movement is participating in that movement, which I have never done. You're pretty dumb.

A fromsoft game with a good story would be disastrous. I wouldn't be able to take my time and explore everything in peace when I feel like the story is getting too thrilling or when the story urges you to hurry for some reason.
From games should always have a shit or next to no story like they do now

I'm not sure if she ever actually slept with a lot of reviewers. I know she was friends with one or two, but the only mention I ever saw of sex for good review was from Yea Forums. Not to the mention she was uglier back then when she was a ham planet, so who would sleep with her?

The accusations were true, get your head out of the sand.

Beta males (video game reviewers) will take anything they can get.

>Point out the messages that clearly make people into death threats dealing gamergaters.
Speaking of moving the goalposts. There are gamergaters who sent death threats, and there are gamergaters here, but obviously I cannot prove they are the same.

Tell me, who but a gamergater would consider "sending death threats to women is bad" to be retardation?
>Here, my picture implies that Turks are cockroach so that clearly associate me with some kind of white supremacist movement!
You're posting it now to prove an inane point but I do have to wonder why you have it, yes.
You're participating right now by trying to convince me how totally right and justified it was. Odd move for someone claiming not to be invested in it.
False, as even gamergate had to eventually admit. But by then of course their libel had spread far and wide.

Maybe but more fault lies with the "journalist". They're the ones with the audience and have the mouthpiece, assuming the sex thing is even real.

Calling you an idiot in a Yea Forums thread is not participating in a movement. You are mentally ill.

I agree with you 100%. I think everyone knows video game journalists are trash though. The only place anyone would disagree with that is in resetera.

Really? Gamergate is the best example you could find for that, and not, say, something about Aragorn's tax policies? Also, there's a difference between not understanding and not giving a shit. He doesn't care about the petty issues gamergate is ostensibly about but he does care when women are harassed.

they might as well just be labelled character 1, character 2 etc.

To be completely fair to him I do not doubt at all that they got legitimate death threats. I don't think receiving online hatred is grounds for me to respect or agree with anybody in particular, but if you place online hatred on a pedestal it's an understandable position.
Of course, it's just indirect non-personal words online and none of it is really as actionable as you would typically view a threat to be, but you cannot sit there and tell me that some legit autistic retard never tweeted something even a little bit vulgar or threatening at Anita back in 2014.
You know exactly how far people are willing to go when it comes to saying stupid shit online to provoke a reaction, especially to a professional victim who they know will react especially strongly if their comment is violent or sexually charged.

I'm ok with this, From was always big with characterization and hidden lore in obscure places. In addition we know they can do shock twists well with sekiro. If we ignore the fact G.R.R.M. will inevitably shit the bed with the ending his shit actually works well in this medium.

Incidentally, I think it's funny you continue to seriously engage with me when supposedly the fact that I seriously engaged with a gamergater showed that I was just a stupid redditor who didn't get that we bait people all the time around here.
