Yeah the WoT game is pretty good, I'm sure if you played it today it'd be all "meh" but at the time it was a really solid FPS.

IRQ posted:The WoT FPS was really pretty good for its time, unless I somehow missed a new one? The GoT RTS game... dear god, I want those 20 minutes back. I wanted to play more of it to tell you guys how horrible it was but IT'S TOO HORRIBLE. I didn't mind it gameplay wise. It was definitely different. But I hated the concept...an Aes Sedai that can't channel and has to collect Ter'Angreal to use as attacks or magically summon her Warder. The story wasn't too bad, either...especially for an FPS in the late '90s. I guess you're right...I just really, really hate the combat system in it...

See that's actually something I thought they did a good job with. Because how else do you make the WoT magic system work with the gun/ammo system? And let's face it, that was something you had to do in an FPS at the time (especially one that wasn't a AAA title). The explanation was something like the character you play is super weak in the power, so she has to use the angreals to do anything, which isn't even entirely off the wall in terms of the books (Siuan later, most of the girls getting into the dream world, etc), although it might have been when it was made. I thought it got around the design problem in a way that worked very well.

I want a Mount&Blade Game of Thrones game. They already made an adaption of Mount&Blade for one book series, why not this one? It's basically an open-ended roleplaying game without fantasy elements where you build yourself up from nothing to a lordship ruling and managing a whole region. Bronn-style. It'd be perfect in this setting. Set it a couple of hundred years ago during Targ rule. And the game's already known to be good and fun.

Main problem is that a Bloody Mummers or Brienne simulator is all that could be achieved, and that's pretty much the most boring part of ASOIAF. ...a GREGOR mod would be cool, though.

Mount&Blade: Gregor edition is just Saint's Row/GTA: Westeros edition. Not that I'm not totally down with that. Maybe a Skyrim mod?

But there'd be dragons loving everywhere and you'd be goddamned shouting in dragon. Immersion = ruined. (yes, you can mod that out, but when you CAN add dragons, you WILL add dragons) Also everyone would be basically playing a Redguard. ASOIAF: Summer Islander sim.

my cat is norris posted:I'm having a hard time coming up with a good equivalent for Jamie's character. Dinobot from Beast Wars. Actually, because Beast Wars has actual characterization, a lot of analagous characters suggest themselves. Qyburn is Tarantulas, Cercei is Blackarachnia, Viserys is Terrorsaur, Depthcharge is Brienne, Ramsey is Inferno, Tyrion is Rattrap, John Snow is Tigatron, and Bran is Cheetor. Last but not least, of course, Beric Dondarrion is Waspinator. And that's probably the nerdiest saddest post I will ever, ever make.

Ramsay doesn't have the blind loyalty that makes Inferno great. Nor does he have a gun bigger than a person. Is anyone else reminded of Star Wars by Jaime's adventures with Brienne? He gets his hand cut off and replaced with a fake one, and Vargo Hoat talks all slobbery like some kinda star wars alien. And there's a big sword fight I guess. I think there was more, but I forget. Also, I think fantasy authors make deals with terrible game developers because that's the best they can get and it's money and exposure, even though an author popular enough for a cruddy video game doesn't need the exposure from said game.

I remember reading about the games rights being sold a few years ago, before there was any mention of a HBO series. So they're probably just churning out any crap to make a quick buck then sell the rights for a fortune when it gets even more popular.

Except everyone is loving scared of Depth Charge. And THAPPHIRETH is Waspinator. Also Blackarachnia eventually falls in love with Silverbolt and becomes a Maximal, not continues to gently caress her relatives and everyone else in sight and eventually winds up in prison because she brought back a religious army.  Viserys is Megatron. Plotting, schemeing, speaking grandly, he's even a goddamn dragon at the end. I noticed you also forgot Optimus, Rhinox, Scorpinox, Airrazor, and let's even say Tigerhawk despite him being Tigatron and Airrazor duct taped together by evil rastafarian aliens.

I left out Airrazor because her character sucks so much. "I am a girl, and a bird." I wont fight you on any of those except any guy who dies and comes back to life every two seconds is clearly Waspinator. Thanks for bringing up Silverbolt, who is clearly Robb. The only Rhinox candidate I can think of is Moqorro, what with the tech and spirituality and being uncontrollably badass.

"strategy" game sequel to the greatest horrible game ever made: Crusader Kings. Where strategic incest is actually a vital part of your eugenics campaign to build the ultimate king; alternately, waiting for a hunchbacked drooling idiot of a ruler so that all your vassals rebel and you can't do anything about it because, well, hunchbacked drooling ruler. Then you can have your wife hate you so much she sends an assassin after you. Or maybe you off her so that you can marry the lady with the better title, or better stats. And if you survive all that, you can get completely hosed by the one-two punch of the black death and the mongols. The black death murders all your family members, and the mongols give no fucks and will literally conquer the entire map in twenty years or so. It's a horrible game because the actual gameplay is basically clicking on text boxes when a random event happens, and tech is completely opaque, and battles are more or less throwing a gigantic army under a good leader more than any real strategy. But seriously: best game. It's ASOIAF only more ludicrous.
