Let's talk about video games that were adapted from something else as well as things that you would like to see adapted into video game form.
I think that LOTR games that aren't Shadow of Mordor generally work very well, Tolkien has made such a great and complex world that adapting it into video game seems to vield some wonderful results sometimes. And although Star War sucks now, we had some really good fucking games in the past, starting with the SNES ones. And I don't think I have to remind everyone here that Shin Megami Tensei is based off on a book series.

Based on the Jackson movies and aesthetics, there's Battle for Middle Earth 1 & 2 which are good RTS games(don't know about the first, but the second one follows a story parallel to the movies), The Two Towers and Return of the King, some decent hack and slash that follows the events of the movie and The Third Age which has the battle system of Final Fantasy X, and it follows the story of a human, an elf and a dwarf teaming up to beat Sauron, it ends with the party defeating the mouth of Sauron and the Eye of Sauron.
From the Tolkien mansion, we have the Hobbit, a cartoony 3d platformer with some combat(never played it so can't comment all that much), there was another RTS called War of The Ring, made by the same devs that made Battle Realms.
There's also Lego LoTR, the mmo, Lotr Conquest which is Battlefront but with swords and magic, and plenty of other games that I forgot to mention.

I'd love to see a game based on Malazan Book of the Fallen. Even a relatively linear narratively focused first person shooter/melee with RPG mechanics where you play as part of a squad in the Malazan army would be fucking awesome. To get the set pieces right and populating them with the various alien creatures and constructs of the setting would require a certain level of production value, but it would be glorious. A talented developer would perhaps also be able to capture the soldiers' comradery and gallow's humor, giving games like Bad Company a run for their money. There would be no shortage of opportunities for interesting gameplay mechanics as the Malazan arsenal is incredibly diverse (melee/ranged weapons, explosives, magic) and emulating the squad tactics used in the books could lead to either cool gimmicks or give the combat additional depth.
I'm pretty sure that Erikson himself would be down with such a game project given that he was offered some level of creative control.

I want to see this guy, that obviously plays video games and went into the thing just to fuck around with friends, as well as being a general bro have his own party of quirky characters in a video game that fucking makes sense and see him overcome differences living through both funny, sad, exiting adventures with his friends in the game.

IPs are only important for RPGs and other games that need an interesting lore and universe, but even for those I think movie IPs are kind of dangerous because way too often the developers try to recreate a movie into a video game form instead of making an actual good game.
Worst examples of IP use are those mediocre platformers in which you play as Luke Skywalker jumping around with a light saber cutting down random shit pulled straight from the movie. Then you have some mandatory pilot scene in which you bring down a dinosaur robot because that's what they did in the movie. Doesn't matter if it doesn't fit at all into an otherwise platformer game.
Better example would be something like Battlefront in which they took the best part of the SW and allow you to play as one of the stormtroopers or whatever taking part of big pew pew battles. Though again because it's a movie IP they just had to force some stupid playable jedi characters into the game even though they don't fit at all in a game like that. That's the danger of movie IPs.
For everything except RPGs you can just rip off an IP though, like how Starcraft took good ideas from Warhammer 40k and perhaps a bit from Aliens vs Predators and turned it into a descent RTS game. Since the lore is not important in a game like that it's completely okay to have a ripoff if you ask me. RPGs on the other hand are all about the lore and it's awesome to immerse yourself into some imaginary universe by playing games and reading wikis etc so for that I think a ripoff universe like Starcraft just doesn't cut it, in case I desired for an RPG set in AVP or Warhammer 40k universe.

A game where you can command lots of troops at once while still being in the thick of battle a la warband

All set in Menzoberranzan with a focus on becoming the first house. You would be able to gain and lose Lolths favor, summon her handmaidens, hire/do favors for Jarlaxle, send your offspring off to school and train them, die and pass your house on, and fucking slaughter every house between you and being house 1.

Yeah they're not that good, though I don't play multiplayer to know how bad the balance is. The first one's campaign is occasionally good but largely very samey and repetitive, and since you can bring over leveled and upgraded troops from previous missions it's often a landslide. Hard difficulty is fucking atrocious as Mordor, powerful troops will rush your shit and they cut you down like butter as you have no upgrades, your troops suck and monsters die instantly to fire arrows.
Second one I remember was a lot more solid, varied and straightforward in terms of campaign, with no "select your generic territory mission".

In the second one, if you played as goblins, or any army that started with a flying unit as their commander, literally all you had to do was right click the enemy base at the start of the game and you won. There was zero counter to this.
