Why did George complain about tax policies when there are no tax policies in his own books? The economics don't even make any sense, how the hell do the Ironborn have so many ships? Where do they get all of their wood from?

4. FEET = GOOD

It will be about how immortality is bad but ironically George will die before he finishes writing for it so it will get released with a disappointing and abrupt ending

>Where do they get all of their wood from?

my switch collects dust, does that console have games?

nothing
pseuds who read LOTR think everything high fantasy is a rip off of it

Considering it was a pioneer of its field then yes, all high fantasy is a LotR rip off one way or the other. Of course theres nothing wrong with that, thats just what happens.

But what was Sunset's tax policy?

George R. R. Martin: I was thinking of a vast JRPG with options for dozens of potential storylines, based on faction and character selection. The will be enjoyable and entertaining.

He's not going to finish. Even if he finishes Winds of Winter he needs to finish at LEAST one more book, and that's stretching it because there's no way in hell he can finish the entire series in 2 books, he needs at least 3. He takes longer and longer with each book, Dance with Dragons took him 6 years and Winds of Winter is currently taking him 9 years (will take him at least 10, since he claims August 2020 but he's always shit with dates). At that pace it'll take him easily 14 years to release Dream of Spring, and that's assuming he isn't going to release another book after that anyways.

in what way are the two alike?

it means growing older

Why do you automatically assume he's talking about Game of Thrones?

>santa monica and GoW
Yeah, I too remember how nuGoW was so faithful to the Norse lore.

>not going for SL1 eunuch runs

This.

You know all the shit hinted in the books about Asshai? Just dump it all in the game and here you have a lore that most people won't even realise it's from asoiaf

>Jon Snow went from having a crazy plot armor to an indestructible one from the scene with the crow flying at the speed of light and the scene with the dragon was insanely predictable
>Varys sets his chain of information almost on the spot and literally everyone was expecting that to happen which is why he died like a moron
>Littlefinger was killed before his ultimate plan was revealed, the night king lore they've been hinting at since forever is abruptly interrupted in an hour and half of fighting

>this one post makes all the GoTrannies seethe

>What's the problem with this?
The gear is doing all the work and the player is playing fairly badly.
I think the complaint is that in Dark Souls you can just overlevel and let your stats do the work instead of playing better.

Sunset found her squatting in the swamp level, groaning.

GoT is tranny repellent.

>you can just overlevel and let your stats do the work instead of playing better
Doesn't this apply to all RPGs?

So
Elden means cock?

Subversions require base material to subvert. Without LotR and Tolkiens ideas ASOIAF wouldnt exist. Once again there is nothing wrong with this, its how a genre forms, everyone rips off LotR to some degree. Plus Numenor and Valyria are practically siblings.

this is why fromsoft is so much better at lore than other producers
>fromsoft: great bosses with their own story while also being mythological and literary references, not too on the nose
>god of war developers (literal who): hey you know that god? let's go kill him as our mary sue character!

Kratos isn't a Mary Sue in Norse GoW

You can make a far better case for that in the original GoW trilogy

>Acting like it wasn't

he's subverting basic story telling conventions none of them are specific to LotR

In lets say turn based RPGs the character building and set up is the entire gameplay really
In Souls there is also the action part
You can beat entire souls games with just your fist and all stats at the lowest if you know what you are doing.
In that webm the character building is used to "ruin" the action gameplay.

Shut the fuck up.
Don’t even joke about that.

Yeah, remember when Baldr was a fucking asshole to everyone in the mythology?
I don't.

He has said multiple times that he is subverting LotR mate. That this was 'his answer' to it

the only reason he isnt is because they made all the bosses low level jobbers because they want to setup another trilogy
though i do agree

>You can make a far better case for that in the original GoW trilogy
He is a straight up villain who should not succeed and isn't liked by fucking anyone.

Everything they have done has been gothic why would they do norse now, it doesn't fit dark fantasy?

Hm yeah true
But the only way to really make everything totally balanced would be to take out the entire leveling system
Or have enemies scale with the player, but that would be awful

Wasn't there some norse shit in one of the souls games?

>sekiro
>gothic
>dark souls
>gothic
?

There are so many norse references in DS are you kidding

Is George actually a bad writer or is this lit and tv trying to be edgy by hating on popular things? The show is pretty good when the writers have their hands held by the books.

The argument is that the combination in Dark Souls is badly balanced and you can't just say it has good gameplay overall.

He's a character from a greek tragedy. An asshole who's downfall was brought about by his own character flaws. Thats why he's so much better in the original game.

THE MORE SHE SHAT

>there are people out there that unironically believe this

Its pretty alright, but George has his moments of utter retardation. Its not Dune, hell its not even Deltora Quest, but its still worth a read.

he's pretty good, asoiaf is worth reading for jaime chapters alone.

I would say that means it's well balanced. The difficulty scales to whatever you want.

broke: new from action game with grrm story fuck yeah!
woke: fromsoft doing grandstrat managing tax policies

Its low fantasy sitting in the ruins of high fantasy while even more high fantasy is coming up on the horizon.

ASOIAF was historical fanfiction for only the first book

There could be limits in place to not have super terrible gameplay like shown in the webm

Like Bloodborne not having shields forces you to actually play the more enjoyable way.

Fucking Deltora Quest. I LOVED that shit as a kid, though i don't remember it barely at all now. Is it a Yea Forums meme or something?

We'll see. If he ever finishes the books.

No he isn't, he gets 99% of what he wants. He becomes the God of War, he kills Zeus and screws over the Greek gods, etc. If anything that fits Norse GoW more because he actually regrets everything he's done and his fear of his son knowing his past makes it difficult for them to bond, which is the only thing he actually wants in that game

he doesn't borrow much from Tolkien at all definitely not enough to be called a rip off

>he gets 99% of what he wants.
Doesn't the game end up with him killing himself because he doesn't get what the gods have promised him?

No idea, Yea Forums is for fags, but its definitely my meme. I still have the entire series somewhere.

This game was so kino

Japs have made a huge mistake and they will regret

No he does that as a middle finger to Athena. He has the "hope" inside Pandora's box inside him and Athena asks for it, but he stabs himself to give it to humanity instead.

Fucker Kratos lost his entire god damn family because of his anger issues. Did you just forget that? He literally Hercules'd them

Cheese is always a thing, but you have a point. I feel like the limit of the terribleness often scales in proportion to the number of options/depth of the RPG mechanics though.

Well he was technically "tricked by Ares"
But then again that trick probably wouldn't have worked on someone who is not a retarded rage monster.

is it viking norse shit? so fucking bored of that

If those niggers rip off Ring of Nibelung and call it Elden ring I'm never buying a From game ever again. Jesus Christ how hacky can one studio be.

Is deltora's quest still worth reading? I feel bad for missing out on it.

>What it'll be
Medieval euro setting
>What it should be
Bronze age hellenic setting

You could have bosses scale with your gear and level. but then again if the players know about that they'll find a way to abuse it and it becomes an unintended part of the gameplay and gives them control over the universe to a bigger degree

Personally I also prefer if games err on just accepting that it can be broken like that webm
I don't ever have to chose to play as bad as that and I can have the full experience.

celtic most likely

>make a game out of established myths and stories
how is this a bad thing? do you want more games like life is strange?

Shit like that webm is the exception, not the rule. As funny as it may sound, the guy in the webm knows what he's doing and you won't ruin your experience like him unless you want to. A fresh player doesn't know the most optimal gear setups, or that the game will allow you to get away with the stupidest shit if you have enough poise

This user over here asking the real questions.

Attached: 1559220123533m.jpg (640x480, 57K)

Yeah, but him getting angry doesn't actually bite him in the ass in any of the games except Norse GoW. There is no moment where Kratos repeats his mistake with his family, for example, and kills Pandora or someone else he cares about out of blind rage. It just fuels and drives him. It doesn't come back to bite him in the ass until Norse GoW. The original GoW trilogy was not a tragedy, it was just a revenge plot

From what I remember it would probably be entertaining for a nostalgia trip if nothing else. Without that it depends on how much you can enjoy kids fiction.

what viking shit is:
>everything is brown, grey and white/blue
>everyone is a macho retard who only cares about fighting and honor
what it should be:
>fat assed valkyries with hair of gold and those curly golden bracelets
>divine bards who sing warriors into existence
>magic items everywhere
>everyone wears bright/expensive colours
>seers and immortals
THEN you can have the macho retards

Immortal humans transformed into abominations, but they also have huge dongs

Agreed. Breaking the game can be part of the fun.

>Bronze age
Yes
>Hellenic
No

>Yeah, but him getting angry doesn't actually bite him in the ass in any of the games except Norse GoW.
First game is entirely about that though.

Haven't played the entirety of the Norse GoW because it was such a boring walk and talk movie to me.

Asoiaf is one of the best works of genre fiction of all time.

"What if we had to use the game engine to draw the world?" George R.R. Martin is sitting to Miyazaki's right.

"What if we had to edit them?" George R.R. Martin looks at his notebook and says, "They can't be anything but a very strange, very abstract thing."

"What about the characters?" George R.R. Martin says to himself. "What about the world? The game?"

"How come, that's too strange — what's wrong with that?" George R.R. Martin goes to his pencil.

"Let's go back to the beginning. Let's have a world from scratch, but draw it with the engine of the Game of Thrones. I said earlier what if we had to write the characters by hand, but we didn't want to know which character we were supposed to draw."

"Okay," says George R.R. Martin.

It's Fromsoft so probably Sony

Arthurian confirmed?

Sony isn't at e3 this year user

HOLY FUUUUCK ARTHUR SOULS

Do you think the game world will be mysterious and weird like Soul games?
Or do you think that this one might go for a more realistic tone?

sony isn't at e3, sekiro was in microsoft, this is a multiplat

Both From and Martin have made prior references to it, so its possible

>the western earth
>the eastern earth
So this is world building..

What if just because of being associated with GRRM, this game reached development hell like The Winds of Winter?

>FINISH THE FUCKING GAME, FROM

Nice strawman you retard. No one is saying they needed to pull a new theme out of their ass that has never existed before, they just didn't have to use the ones that are so done to death that just by saying it's "gothic and lovecraftian" means you will know everything about it before even playing.

A setting around 16th-17th century Not-France in which the monarchy and ruling class are possed and controlled by some ancient power that the Not-Gauls created to combat the Not-Romans hundreds of years ago, which has since turned malevolent and has plunged the kingdom into an era of tyranny and occultism, leading you to rise up in revolt against them WOULD have been original.

Warewolves, vampires, and lovecraftian beings in ye olde not-london is not original at all, right down to the ideas around diseases that run rampant amongst a lower class despite the percieved higher-living and safety of a city, and scholarship going against established religion. The DLC is even set in a fishing hamlet where something washed up on shore and now theres fish people everywhere.

His dialogue is one of the stronger elements of his writing. But it makes no sense anyways, because the story will be written in Japanese and then translated. They're not going to add another step to that process.

A deconstruction is different than a rip off. After all, if it was an LoTR ripoff, it probably wouldn't be shit.

And I'm the president of Zimbabwe

>A deconstruction is different than a rip off
only if it's a genre deconstruction, asoiaf was literally made for one specific material

look another fromsoftware game which is basically a re-skin
cant wait...

if writing is meant to communicate clearly and concisely an image or idea, uniformly to a wide audience it kind of defeats your whole argument.

dysentery is pretty ugly, and grrm does a good job of conveying that ugliness.

make a better fucking image. i didn't even have to resort to pointing out how you're cherry picking. you could have made a simple argument that grrm writes in a gritty postmodern way that presents reality in all its disgusting base natures compared to the romantic and flamboyant writing often present in bygone eras. then again even though i've presented that fact, it's up to you to decide if you like one or the other, and you obviously dont like allowing anyone else the option to perhaps have their own opinion on something you've settled your opinion on.

Wait, I thought E3 will be on the 11th? Why will there be an announcement tomorrow?

Is that Jamie? why the fuck does he have black hair?

I don't think it will this time, it's why I think GRRM was invited to Fromsoft so the team don't end up recycling old ideas, they got a fresh mind on the game.

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.

DaS2 is good though, most of the hate comes from it not being AS GOOD as DaS1

b b based

The entire playable world is set on a giant living cosmic beast

Easy mode

You just know it WILL happen this time if GRRM’s name is attached to it, they do not want to piss off all the GoT fanboys who will buy this game just because he’s involved

Fpwp

PLEASE don't let the world be a lifeless dying one like Souls. Make it alive with lots of NPC interactions.

Fromsoft can make allowances for bad players without an easy mode.

Why isn't Elden Ring PS4 exclusive when From made Bloodborne and Demon's Souls exclusive?

Martin is writing for a VERY different generation. Escapism always evolves over time. It's inevitable. And what Tolkien ACHIEVED (note: not necessarily the content of his work explicitly) was original. What Martin has achieved so far and what he remains to achieve in the future can't be compared to what Tolkien achieved. Martin can't inspire - the way Tolkien inspired - an exploration of a genre that hadn't been much delved into. Tolkien's work sparked an interest in the fantasy genre that was unprecedented. What Martin is doing naturally has precedence - in fact you are comparing him to the very original precedent.

Better to compare Tolkien with someone who inspires another new exploration of escapism.

You're comparing apples and apple trees, my friend.

Bases & redpilled

The exclusive PS4 game was Deracine VR. Sony put the money in the wrong game.

But incest between who? Father and Daughter is god tier. Everything else is trash.

What Sekiro lost to Souls in terms of rpg mechanics and replayability, it made up for in character writing and extra doses of kino story beats. GoT is a little bit smelly but if a collab means From is doing more character story shit I'm down.

You think the movie is going to be worth a watch?
Also, I fucking love the concept of music/song as a form of power.

with the whole LGBT thing going on, how long do you reckon will it take for incest to become legal?

>Warewolves, vampires, and lovecraftian beings in ye olde not-london is not original at all
it's not original in its themes, it's original in the way it manages to link them all and create a world which perfectly captures gothic horror from the exaggerated visuals to the symbolism. It's the ultimate gothic game, now imagine if fromsoft did this thing for other periods of time and cultures instead of going again for the overused fucking fantasy setting when literally every game does that.
Btw your idea is lame as fuck dude.

I see replayability

LoTR is mostly a derivative of Norse mythology mixed with Tolkein's personal philosophy, most modern fantasy more closely resembles the pulp novels that were the inspirations for the likes of Dungeons & Dragons

Maybe some sort of souls game based on Arthurian mythology?
Didn't Miyazaki even say that dark souls was inspired by his terrible misunderstanding of king Arthur or something?
