/v/ - Happy E3

How will scat and rape fit into this?

Enough souls-like games From, I beg of you. Go back to armored core or something.

Are any of the GoT seasons worth watching or is it a shit Rome?

He's never gonna finish his shitty books, and now he's working on other projects. What a rotten man.

>>16556416

Do not bother.

>>16556423

Why is this image laid out like a Windows XP youtube poop music video?

will todd lose his shit over a word so similar to elder?

>>16556403

>and George R.R. Martin

Prepare yourselves for lots of scatology, tables full of food and rape.

I thought it was going to be open world. Grimdark fantasy open world by GRRM and From Soft's usual mediocre combat. I'm sure the faggots and streamers will lap it up.

>>16556416

1 and 2 were good, 3 is when the cracks really show and it never recovered after that. The books are shitty subversion of Tolkien anyway.

Also Miyahacki is doing "ring" again. Dark Souls was meant to be called Dark Ring after the brand of the undead being a literal dark ring.

>>16556416

1 through 4 are fairly decent and suprisingly unpozzed for a series of this decade very few examples do exist though it starts to fall apart from there on but the final season is especially fucking retarded, i'd even go as far as recommend you watch it just because it's the best example of how to fuck up an ending i've ever seen.

Actually i just finished watching the series today, been binge watching it the whole past month.

Is this the Game of Thrones of soulslikes?

>>16556469

How did it end?

>>16556570

go back to reddit you cancerous faggot kid. you're fooling no one and everyone can see that you're 100% reddit. the problem is there's so many of you stupid faggots that no one calls you out anymore

>>16556590

i should add that you're not from /tv/ actually. you're a /v/edditor faggot who helped contibute to the death of /tv/. dumb faggot pussy. you're fooling no one

Oh good, MORE soulsshit, that's just what we needed.

>>16556666

Show Stannis was fucking awful. He wasn't killed by Brienne. He was already going to die after being defeated by Ramsay's army. The only thing Brienne did was spare him from being flayed.

>>16556403

GRRM is a hack. Having said that, the game will sell off of his and Miyazaki's names.

>>16556794

He's probably intentionally trying to distance himself from the series just so he doesn't have to finish it.

It's going to sell ten million copies.

>>16556829

If it came out 5 years ago, sure.

In all probability Fat Bastard just has his name attached for marketability purposes.

>>16556863

>BUT Martin is fantastic when it comes to World building

are you retarded?

>>16556918

Look at his image.

fat motherfucker should be finishing his fucking book, not making video games and watching the last kingdom, although i'm sure he's there by name alone and doesn't have any input whatsoever.

>most inhospitable part of the world features the most sexually liberal culture in the world, despite every historical example known to man proving the exact opposite - the most extreme the environment the more patriarchal a culture is

>same shit for the Westeros dunecoons

>not-Mongols are all horse archers, when in fact Mongols themselves made extensive use of heavy cavalry and infantry

>people spend thousands of years stuck in the middle ages, despite the fact that even the weird weather patterns would not justify such a slow progress of technology

It's just fucking stupid.

>>16556943

He says he's going to release the next book by the summer of 2020 before the 78th World Science Fiction Convention . We'll see if he honors that promise because D&D just shat over his legacy in season 8 with only 4 episodes.

>>16556979

>D&D just shat over his legacy

Considering his jewish fetishes, he probably gets off on that thought.

>>16556973

Everything you've written here seems like something somebody would come up with after reading some greentext history lesson on /int/, except it's completely without jest.

>>16556993

>I can’t actually prove anything he said wrong but I’ll continue lookIing like an idiot anyway

>>16557002

Was the IP hop really necessary?

It'd gonna be shit

Just why?

Martian is not that good, I bet they will ripoff some Japanese films and call it a day. Martian cannot create something original all he can do is rip shit off from other people.

>>16557022

>all he can do is rip shit off from other people

He's not very good at that either.

>>16556973

Even with that it is still leagues above most other fantasy settings, you can't expect the guy to be an expert in everything either

>>16556602

Stannis was always going to get fucked over one way or another. I would have loved for him to be portrayed better in the show and even win but it was never going to happen.

>>16557012

>Accusing others of IP hoppong cuz he’s a little bitch who can’t argue

>>16557032

>GRRM defense force on fullchan

This is the same fuckwit that shat on Tolkien because he never told us Aragon's tax plan, and then it turns out his grand ending to his epic saga is a trainwreck.

>you can't expect the guy to be an expert in everything either

Yeah, because it takes a genius to figure out cutting a man's dick before he's even a teen will fuck up their bodies. Not like every historical text on eunuchs tends to point out how fat, effeminate and hairless they all were.

>inb4 the Jews ruined it

He told them outright what the ending is, so Hotwheels getting the throne and the Night King dying like a bitch are part of his master plan.

>>16557032

>Even with that it is still leagues above most other fantasy settings

you havent read much if you think that. fuck arguably the setting of Conan makes more sense then westeros

>you can't expect the guy to be an expert in everything either

and yet other better writers manage to do that.

>>16556979

>He says he's going to release the next book by the summer of 2020 before the 78th World Science Fiction Convention .

He said the same thing in 2016/17 "next year it's done" and fucked it all up, i don't mind if it takes him time, but bitch better not be doing anything else BUT that fucking book.

He already blue balled enough generations as it is, and then the ending got spoiled by the show, give the world some closure.

>>16557043

>This is the same fuckwit that shat on Tolkien because he never told us Aragon's tax plan

This has to be a joke.

>>16557047

>still looking forward to the books after the last 3 have been nothing but filler

He'll die before he finishes them. It's obvious he has no wish to write any more ASOIAF books and is just stringing cucks like you until his heart gives up the ghost.

>>16557052

>Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. 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?

He's also the pig that whined when the Rabid Puppies used the corrupt system leftists put in place to game the Hugo Awards against them.

>>16557043

>and then it turns out his grand ending to his epic saga is a trainwreck.

You think he was the one who wrote the last season of the show?

>Yeah, because it takes a genius to figure out cutting a man's dick before he's even a teen will fuck up their bodies…

I meant that as in not everyone knows about the relationship between inhospitable lands and sexual liberation, i've always found the brown eunuch army to be retarded.

>He told them outright what the ending is, so Hotwheels getting the throne and the Night King dying like a bitch are part of his master plan.

That's pretty retarded for the most part but it has nothing to do with world building.

>>16557045

Read? not much no, but in comparison with other fantasy settings in other kinds of media GoT's certainly stands out.

>>16557065

>muh orc lives matter

Jesus Christ. Orcs are explicitly evil right down to their innate essence.

>>16557065

>stringing cucks like you

i don't give two fucks about the books you incel shit, i just want all this RR Martin marketing to end so we can all move on. I bet your slut of a mothers ass most people here thinks the same.

>>16557062

>In the books the movements of armies, and the time it takes for news (and people) to travel are sometimes involved in the plot itself and are described in detail

Bullshit. Even before the show people have noted that the speed at which people move around is unrealistic given everything we know about the infrastructure and technology.

>Greyworm for example is described as fairly large, and muscled, not really a twink

Which, again, is not possible if they are gelded, and they are all gelded in such a way that production of testosterone is impossible.

>Eh, context is a bit different in the books as well

I was talking about beyond the Wall you liberal cocksucker. And by "liberal" I meant women go around sleeping with however they want and get to choose their husband.

>They're literally not Mongols though

They're Mongols in all but name, or at least what a historically illiterate leftist cuck like Martin imagines them to be. It's sad you're reduced to defending "muh noble savages" bullshit.

>there seems to be a civil war every 50 to 100 years

War puts technological development on steroids. Europe in the Middle Ages was almost constantly at war, hence why they were the ones that figured out to properly weaponize gunpowder first.

>but they're so far east they're only really mentioned a handful of times in the Novels

And they have no contact with the rest of the wider world why exactly? IRL the Silk Route was around for thousands of years and connected West to East. Again, it makes no sense that the world is so disconnected and isolated and Martin never gives a specific reason why.

I wouldn't even be shitting so hard on him if he himself didn't criticize other authors for their "shallow" world-building.

>>16557065

>>16557069

I remember hearing there was actually a manuscript or old letter that described an outline of what would happen to the disenfranchised orcs and Tolkien didn't want to finish it because the only logical ending he could think of involved the orcs mixing with man, weakening them and making the whole conflict pointless in the end.

>>16557066

>You think he was the one who wrote the last season of the show?

He told them the ending and has said nothing to indicate the ending in the show conflicts with his vision.

>not everyone knows about the relationship between inhospitable lands and sexual liberation

It really takes a world-class scholar to google up cultures living in extremely cold conditions and read up on their stance regarding marriage and gender equality.

>That's pretty retarded for the most part but it has nothing to do with world building.

It shows the kind of writer he is. Also, don't you feel fucking embarrassed defending this lazy piece of shit? Even Pateron porn game developers have better work ethic.

>>16557079

The GRRM fanbase, everyone.

>>16557095

> don't you feel fucking embarrassed defending this lazy piece of shit?

No, the setting is pretty damn good, certainly better than average, sure it has some inconsistencies but it doesn't go beyond that and it's nothing in comparison with what the setting gets right.

I give credit where credit is due that's all.

>>16557116

Hey cuckchan.

>>16557108

>the setting is pretty damn good

>War of the Roses with more feminism and faggotry

>good

Go to your public library once in a while. Jesus Christ.

>>16557116

He'll never finish the books.

>>16557084

There is nothing logical about everyone just dropping their grudges and miscegenating with monsters. I find it hard to believe Tolkien would come up with something so stupid. The logical ending would be several systematic extermination campaigns to cull the numbers to the point they are an irrelevant threat or better yet genocided but it's one of those things that does not need to be mentioned. The story was done.

>>16557121

setting =/= plot

>>16557129

No, he meant over the course of another age so maybe thousands of years. At first they would be hunted, then become slaves, then eventually just an allegory for niggers in the modern world. I wish I could find it.

>>16557129

Also, there were orcs around after the first time Sauron was defeated and the human realms dealt with them just fine.

>>16557139

IIRC that one draft of the story he wrote dealt with court intrigue and civil war/infighting and Tolkien, understandably, wanted nothing to do with it after his experiences in WW1.

>>16556666

This! Stannis was the man! He also loved his daughter way too much to burn her like that too. Just fuck up after fuck up on the shows part. The fat fuck will never finish the books if people keep giving him shit to do!

Cant wait, its gonna be great. I trust Miyazaker to wade through GRRMs good and bad inputs. Just sounds like they asked him some questions on worldbuilding with multiple kingdoms.

I hope they don't fuck covenants up this time.

On the topic of authors and video games, do we know if any of the Black Library authors getting involved in Vidya? Graham Mcneill and Dan Abbot specifically

You mean deranged leftists. Reminder that Overgrowth was aboutas good as you could hope… and then the retard dev drank the koolaid and went full retard. Furries knotting eachother is just icing on the cake.

>>16557280

The minimal animations make that look especially shitty to play. Not even being graphics whore, I don't care that it's 2d with simplistic characters. The problem is that there's relatively minimal telegraphing. If you can't really tell what the enemy is doing you can't dodge/parry it reliably. As a result I'm guessing enemies have a very minimal moveset, and you still probably expect to take damage a lot.

>>16556552

> I hope this fails so catastrophically that From is forced to go back to making interesting games again.

Me too. It's been way too long since we've had a good Souls game.

>>16557762

Soulshit is shit anon. They should go back to making games like Armored Core or Otogi. It's been more than ten years since their last good game.

>>16556552

It also doesn't help that the fire rose at Notre Dame, so she has nowhere to live now.

>>16557806

I don't really care for the Souls games but I love Bloodborne and I'd like so see more like it. Sekiro wasn't too bad either but it just needed more.

>>16557864

>I don't really care for the Souls games but I love Bloodborne

Bloodborne is soulshit though. Same with shittyiro.

>>16557909

What is it that you dislike so much about it?

Great, now the Artorias wannabe fight of the game will start with him shatting himself. Reminder that Tolkien fought in the battle of the Somme and wrote stories about virtue while GRRM is a fat fuck that dodged the draft and writes scat/rape LMAO SO SUBVERSIVE SO EDGY

>>16557953

Why is it that people who have actually experienced life's horrors tend to not want to speak about it and would rather teach the next generation about the importance of moral virtues, probably in an attempt to prevent said horrors from ever taking place again, while fat leftist fucks like GRRM who has never even so much as lifted weights in his life always turn out to be bitter edgelords even when they are this close to the grave?

>>16557045

Using the original Mary Stu as a comparison….

Have you read all the original works by Howard and his inspiration of this one dimensional mary stu?

>>16558009

You pretty much answered it, but that also reminds me of a passage I read in a book I read. There was a young rich kid who grew up around the turn of the 20th century and was always surrounded by beautiful craftsmanship art, literature etc… but was never able to appreciate it and preferred the modern, novel (at the time) art and architecture. It was only after experiencing the trench warfare of WW1, where he found himself in an old church, that he was finally able to experience the transformative effect of beauty.

>>16557256

That is one lone ass series, 20+ books and I can still see whatever game study made this would disregard all the source material because its not "progressive". Also would like to play as a Badger Lord or part of the Long Hair Patrols.

it'll suddenly be amazing when it hits the bargain bin just like bloodborne

this place is like a fucking broken record

>written by grrm

So this time that fat fuck is gonna rip off LOTR for real.

>>16558212

>so, gorge will write 10000 pages of material and FROM will cut it down to finally have a game with a normal story where you aren't just guessing?

You must've never read a grrm book.

>>16558274

There isn't any. Literature is long since dead. Go back and read things before everything became pozed out the ass.

>>16556794

I'm still angry about how viciously they shilled that garbage show. I swear they were secretly paying youtubers and shit to promote it.

No one other than lorefags gave a shit about the story of Souls games. Why try even harder to insert a story that people won't care about?

>>16556403

Sounds pretty cool i am looking forward to it tbh

>>16558326

>secretly

>>16558353

Because redditors and e-celebs like Vaati have convinced them that their players only care about the lore and stories rather than the combat.

>>16557920

He's a faggot who's trying to blend in. Don't mind him.

Why would they pay the meal-description man to work on a game that will be released years from now? Even most of the fags in this thread defending the lame mangled pop-history mess with supernatural plot devices will have managed to read a non-shit book once in their life and, along with the masses, have forgotten the dude before the game is out, so the name isn't going to be much marketing value.

>>16558599

Because normalfags love to eat shit and soulshit is a normalfag series.

>>16558620

I guess I expect the shit to be more figurative instead of straight up literal.

>>16558599

They aren't really banking on the name. They're banking on the expanded shilling apparatus that will come with it.

I read two books and they read like a really shitty dnd transcript - trying to sound cool with some magic bullshit (like the elf sephiroth who beats up some dragon) and having characters with the depth of piss puddles.

>>16558668

The biggest issue is that there's no rhyme or reason to anything that happens. The author keeps throwing names, places, events, concepts and abilities without ever bothering to tell the audience what any of it means.

About the only good book in the whole shitshow was the one about the Mongol general doing a fighting retreat trying to keep refugees safe, and only because it's mostly disconnected from the rest of the overarching "plot" and focuses on the campaign itself.

>>16557377

Malazan is total dogshit, it reads like an MMO tie-in novel. Only a r*dditor would enjoy reading that trash.

>>16556417

Nigger's never going to finish the books. That's been obvious for years. Might as well squeeze some content out of him while he's doing nothing though.

>>16557920

>>16558641

Yea that series is overrated. Book 1 was okay, but book 2 was to much. The way the advisor convicted the commander to surrender with no objections, which make it more retarded when you find out that the success of the Malazzan army was its ability to question and challenge retarded commanders. But no 10k people just walked into a trap and gave up their weapons to be sacrificed

I can see why it was dropped, despite enjoying it immensely. They had no idea what to do with the combat to make it more interesting. The problem is that no game has really scratched that itch that playing the game developed.

I'm calling it. I wouldn't be mad though. You already have a Blacksmith making a flamme thing out of nowhere, a Darksign very important ring and some medieval stuff. I'm sort of hyped.

>>16564490

I actually enjoy 2 a lot, and still replay it to this day mainly due to the pvp and the retarded builds I can do

>>16564647

I don't think GRRM is a shit writers as some claim, but it a lot of books he pulls events directly from history.

Sometimes copy and pasting events with a fantasy coating of paint.

>>16564670

>I don't think GRRM is a shit writers as some claim

He inserts his fetishes and portions of the books are outright erotica.

God I really want to see the seething coming out of this

>>16564521

The formula is pretty stale. Demon's Souls was something new and in a sea of casual games stood out for its difficulty. Dark Souls was very much a spiritual successor, going for the open/connected world approach as well as more refined gameplay and animations.

DS2 was the big one, as the game had a bad development and was cobbled together within a year from a very different build/direction. As a result it angered many fans as all they could really do was double down on the le difficult meme. However, the silver lining to DS2 was that it provides the best build variety of the entire series.

BB shifted setting and story as well stripping gameplay elements away. No more blocking, no dozens of weapons but instead a smaller pool of diverse weapons, more akin to an action game ala DMC. The world was still connected, elements from Souls carried over down to the obscure quests, bleak tone, upgrading weapons etc. A good game all things considered.

DS3 was clearly the team just fatigued with the series, but had to make the game because of contractual obligations. After the DS2 fiasco, they played it safe with the fan service and mechanics. The main problem for DS3 is that it switched engines midway through development, which is the game is basically a crappier BB.

The core issue with the Souls games is that they shifted more and more away from the roots of Demon's Souls. The big one being that immersion of being the adventurer and having to figure things out. There is only so many times you can do the obscure, convoluted story and direction (such as blacksmiths being hidden in the world) before it gets dull. However, the biggest issue is the focus on action. The focus on the gameplay.

Souls shifted more and more towards an action focus, leaving the other stuff behind. What we get are ultimately games that don't excel at anything and when compared to its predecessors or games they are moving closer to, you're just left wondering why bother? Why play DS3 or even BB when DMC, Metal Gear Rising, Bayonetta and more exist? They are far better action games and Demon's Souls and Dark Souls did the "Souls" feel and formula better that 2, 3 and BB.

I haven't even mentioned Sekiro yet. Once again, closer to other and better action games but still falling short. One weapon, only really one way to play the game and deal with enemies. Poor implementation of the secondary options such as tools and combat arts because of the spirit emblem resource. Unforgettable music save maybe one or two tracks. Another connected world with a central hub for upgrading. They have ultimately been making the same game for a decade now, I wanted Sekiro to be a big departure but it wasn't. Just another step out of the Souls shadow but not committing to outright leaving it.

Autistic wall over.

>>16556403

How much of this game will be Berserk references?

>>16564695

Maybe I have thicker skin to it, I did use to read Stephen King.

>>16564670

You are correct but being inspired by history isn't inherently a bad thing.

>>16564703

Autistic but correct.

>>16564717

I'd be more worried about rancid degeneracy.

>>16564733

>Stephen King

Even he has made good books. Overall however, he might be the most mediocre, albeit very productive, writer of our times.

>>16564703

>The main problem for DS3 is that it switched engines midway through development, which is the game is basically a crappier BB.

And also all the assets that look like reused scrapped BB assets.

>>16564743

>Even he has made good books. Overall however, he might be the most mediocre, albeit very productive, writer of our times.

Stephen King takes his jerk off fantasy's and uses his novels as a way to write it down without it being outright erotica.

>It

Kiddy gangbang

>Desperation

Guy nutting when his love interest pulls him close.

Every one of his books that doesn't have a short story involves some non typical sex scene that he describes more then the fucking monsters or curses that the book is about.

>>16564743

>mediocre

He's a nigger lover and a liberal faggot, but I can't call him mediocre. The way he writes prose is still significantly better than his contemporaries, and considering how truly awful most writers are, I must respect anyone who can make the act of reading words feel engaging instead of feel like a chore.

>>16564778

>IT

>DESPERATION

I completely agree with you.

I was talking of the Shining, Misery and the first Dark Tower. There might even be some other good ones but those are all I've read and actually liked.

>>16564804

I'm talking about the plots themselves. He's actually very good as a writer.

>>16565062

>keeping up with black/red color scheme, hooded faces, flames and trailing cloth aesthetic

I miss DS1 and its more relaxed visual tone. Bloodborne and DS3 just look so grim and tortured.

>>16565117

>devs will always follow the money.

Every single AAA developer keeps shoving more and more useless RPG number shit into their games, so FromSoft did exactly the opposite of what's popular right now by making Sekiro more action-focused.

>>16564477

I've had discussions with someone about that. He thought that it helps add to the book by not cutting things like that out, I think that sometimes it is better to leave shit to the imagination. You don't need a detailed sex scene to get across the fact that people were having sex, same with rape or whatever. If you want to include it, fine, but I think with a lot of genres, you can get by with just summarizing it. Romance in some genres is something I would argue falls into this. You can largely skip over it, and not miss anything with some stories.

>>16564703

Well the success of the formula is based on a lot of things. The gameplay is simple, but it absolutely needs to be tight, so things like hit boxes need to be well made. You need a world that people want to explore, atmosphere is also important, and I am sure a few other things are as well. The issue was that they shifted away in the wrong ways. DaS2 and 3 were just retreads of the world/plot/etc of DaS. DaS's world had enough going on for lore autism, but the retreading just made everything feel pointless. The fanservice in DS3, ironically turned me off harder than how much of a complete fuck up DaS2 was. I liked going from DeS to DaS. It was a new world to explore, and yes, a lot of it was very similar, but enough was different that it justified itself. Plus, DaS had a nice escalation, in game, from low fantasy to high fantasy. BB has a similar escalation as it goes from apparently werewolves and blood addicts to a full on love letter to Lovecraft.

>>16565190

the problem is that AAA dev "rpg shit" is always complete surface level crafting, and basic perk systems for one or two weapons, that sort of thing. Consequently, neither From games not AAA RPG hybrids are actually like RPGs.

>>16565212

I agree, most of the time it's half-assed garbage to pad out the game, that's why I really appreciate Sekiro for going into the opposite direction.

>>16565190

Nah you misunderstood me. They are following the natural evolution of what they think or know works/makes them money. Every game gets more action heavy than the last. They know what currently sells for them so they stick to it.

I would also like From to make a Warhammer 40k game of some kind, especially since the red guy from the trailer reminded me a bit of Magnus the Red and a lot of their Design DS3 onward has been getting very, very grimdark.

>>16565317

> I'm not gonna "get hit in the feels" over this asshole if he's doing flaming cartwheels in the air with his sword or some other anime shit like that.

All the bosses turned into this thing too, with different movesets etc, but I'm pretty sure all the boss arenas in DS3 were big open rooms with artorias kick-flipping rampant. Moonlight Butterfly is my favorite boss in DS1 because of how different it is to even the oddest Bosses in DS1.

>>16565317

The flying through the air doing flips like that was in since DaS1. Even DeS had some of that. The false king had some moves where he would rush you with inhuman speed. The problem with modern FROM is that if one thing is pretty popular, they end up doubling down on it. In this case it was human bosses with super human abilities. Part of the reason they were popular was because of the rarity.

DeS had a lot of bosses that could be described as puzzle bosses. They were less about combat and more about figuring out how to kill them. In retrospect, I think they should have kept more of that to keep the feeling of being a knight on a quest against things that are far greater than you. While the execution of them was somewhat questionable at times, I think the idea was sound.

Don't know why people blame DS2 for the difficulty thing when it was always Miyahacki's shit.

>Isomura: During development, was the whole team thinking on how the player would die with a smile?

<Miyazaki: That's not the case. I sometimes get this question from foreign media, and I answered with a no. I was "why are you so sadistic?"

<Miyazaki: I don't know about the other staff members, but I'm actually a masochist.

<Miyazaki: I'm a huge masochist, so when I make games like these… this is how I want to be treated!

>Murohashi: Ooh…

<Miyazaki: "I want to be killed this way!" That's how I make it!

>Isomura: Amazing! That's some really extreme masochism!

<Miyazaki: It's just that sometimes other people don't understand it; it's for my pleasure.

>Murohashi: Really? You want to be killed deep in the forest, getting punched by a huge mushroom?

<Miyazaki: Yes, yes. And the curse area… When I get cursed…

>Isomura: You want to die from a barrage of arrows?!

<Miyazaki: It's gratifying. I like that, I just wanted to emphasize it!

>Murohashi: Incredible!

<Miyazaki: I don't know about the other staff members' fantasies, but I'm not making it from a sadistic stance, but from a masochistic one. I want this done to me!

>Isomura: Oh… wow!

<Miyazaki: I actually like that. I got some strong responses from foreign media. They said "what the hell are you talking about?!"

>>16565540

Like I said, they double down on anything they think they did well, or was popular. Not sure which. DaS2 had a shit ton of bosses that were humanoid knights, and I think that was largely based on the popularity of the super human humanoid bosses in DaS. However, those were popular because they were relatively well done and they were relatively rare which helped them stand out.

I think the other part of it is that since they did the usual fantasy is dying and leaving the evils of man in its wake setting, you don't have that kind of adventure. So now we have more generic super humans, but they need to stand out. Which would be fine if the game, on the player side, was designed around it. It isn't.

This also isn't the first time they did something like that, though. Especially with Miyazaki at the helm. AC4 to ACfA had them double down on giant enemies instead of even making a single new grunt or small enemy to fight. Only a few of them were what I would call fun or well designed fights.

>>16564826

It is one of those stories where the movies/TV show adaptations are actually better than the book itself, especially since sane minds prevailed and decided to cut out all of King's pedophilia fetishism.

>>16564382

GRRM always writes intentionally vague stories with major pieces of lore missing and plot points unresolved. He's a "subvert expectations" kind of writer. You might think he's the perfect kind of writer for this sort of franchise. He's also a feminist, pacifist, and environmentalist.

>>16564703

He's like Jew Jew, he sets up mystery boxes that have no answers, hoping that some clever twist will come to him down the line. Doesn't help that he never plans out his stories in advance, which is not such a big drawback if you're writing a standalone book, but does create massive problems when a story has multiple parts.

Half the reason he'll never complete ASOIAF is that he's written himself into a corner, while the other half is that he's sick of the setting.

>He's also a feminist, pacifist, and environmentalist.

He's a leftist cuck, which is why ASOIAF lacks any sort of bite and substance beyond the shock value. Once you see past that it's just another post-modern tale of shitty people doing shitty things to each other.

>>16570327

>He's like Jew Jew, he sets up mystery boxes that have no answers, hoping that some clever twist will come to him down the line.

In his case the clever twist is that he plans on dying before he has to write the last book so that he doesn't have to worry about it. Besides isn't the only logical conclusion to ASOIAF just basically just Warhammer Fantasy Endtimes only with ice instead or warpstone?

>>16570340

>Nothing wrong with being a pacifist or environmentalist

Only way you can be a pacifist cuck is if there's someone else that has to get their hands dirty so you can keep being a hippy. As for environmentalists, they're always preachy cunts that never seem to point the finger at China or India, despite those shitholes being the biggest polluters around.

>>16570381

>Besides isn't the only logical conclusion to ASOIAF just basically just Warhammer Fantasy Endtimes only with ice instead or warpstone?

A few years ago I'd have thought he had some twist regarding the prophecy, I was willing to give him that much credit, but seeing how the show spoiled the ending it's clear he never had an adequate solution to the Others problem he created, so he just made the Night King a bitch.

>>16570408

Wouldn't the twist be that someone unrelated did in the Night King? There is a reason you don't see a lot of some things in writing, because they are retarded. Hacks need to learn that.

>>16570510

That was in the TV show. Arya killed him, not Jon or Dany.

>>16570529

I don't think anyone is excited for this shitshow. The trainwreck that was Season 8 killed all excitement for anything GoT/GRRM related among normalniggers.

I do like HBO's optimism, what with going forward and making two prequel shows for GoT.

>>16556469

As much as I hate Martin, he didn't have shit to do with the ending of the show, that shit was all on the guys that are at Disney now making the next star wars trilogy

>>16570510

>Wouldn't the twist be that someone unrelated did in the Night King?

No that's just being fucking random. Think of it like this, a good example of subversion would be if Leia showed up and been the one turned Vader in return of the jedi because while the plot had made Luke the obvious candidate for that plot point it also did establish a connection between Leia and Vader. A bad example of subversion would be having Chewbacca seemingly appear out of thin air into the death star throne room and just shoot Vader in the head while Luke is in the bathroom.

That last one is what GoT did with the night king.

>>16570620

>told Jew and Jew the ending

>had nothing to do with it

Okay.

>>16570683

>I really, really hope you aren't actually looking forward to watching kike shit.

I haven't bothered watching the shitshow since Season 2. All I know about the show is from the /tv/ threads. And yes, I'm laughing at HBO's retarded notion that people will give a shit about prequels when the original show ended being one of the biggest trainwrecks in television history.

>>16557084

>>16570669

>>16570563

>>16570510

The last four episodes were rushed. Everything leading up to the Night King was rushed. The show made the same mistake that a lot of other shows/books make and that is killing off the big bad early.

Bottom is just a quick take on what could have happened. I do wonder if GRRM decided to change what he had written after the backlash the show got for its finale.

Jon should have just commanded everyone to flee South in case they couldn't stop the Night King. That way, there are only warriors to try and stop him in Winterfell. The fight goes as it did in the show, but with the exception that they get cleanly overrun. The castle survivors are forced to use those underground tunnels that were mentioned earlier when Theon was still there. They escape South behind the Night King's army and the two of the three dragons get turned to dust, so that they can't be reanimated. Dany flees south with Bran and Jaime, while trying to give her fleeing men some cover. The Night King is on his way to King's Landing. The north has fallen and Cersie is now on the NK's target list. Jaime takes Bran to try and convince Cersie to not be a retarded cunt, while Dany takes her dragon to try and muster up her remaining forces. The NK eventually arrives and Cersie chucks herself from her tower like her son did after realizing what a useless cunt she's been. Jaime takes command and with what forces the North have left along with the mercs they hired, they fight off the NK. The Iron fleet bombards them from the sea, but it's not enough. Jaime evacuates who he can with the intent of luring in the NK and setting off the underground wildfire to kill him or at least entomb him in King's Landing. Dany returns without much of an army, but they do manage to defend the docks. Jaime and Jon fight the NK in the castle while the dragon suicide bombs the wildfire reserves. Castle falls and Jon the NK to the iron throne with Jaime's help. They flee as best they can, but are knocked into the sea. Queue time-skip with Dany fucking off back home without a dragon and much of an army anymore. The seven kingdoms split up completely and Jon fucks off to the North to get clown pussy.

Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water.

The biggest problem with ASOIAF is how utterly passive the two defacto protagonists (Jon and Dany) are. Jon spends most of his POV time doing fuckall around the Wall, and when he actually decides to be proactive he gets stabbed to "death" by his soldiers (which was a completely retarded chain of events because they were acting like complete imbeciles without any proper explanation as to why).

Dany is the same, the moment she finally decides to cross the sea and actually start participating in the main plot (instead of being dumb filler people just skip over) there's a coup d'etat and she has to flee and then spends the last chapter shitting out every variant of turd imaginable.

Makes me wish the protagonist was someone like Jorg from Prince of Thorns, at least he's funny and spends his time making plans and executing them.

Because they thought he betrayed the night watch to rule over a bunch of wallniggers?

Every other problem, mainly concerning filler and pacing, is due to their inactivity.

>>16583528

Nah, Dark Sun is good.

>>16583417

i agree. 90% of it is uninteresting, or following characters that dont matter in the slightest and dont push the plot forward, and all of their plots dont lead anywhere.

for example lets take the wheel of time. sure, it is unfinished because author died before finishing it, not because he was a lazy hack but it is easy comparision as it also follow multiple main characters. but what they show, unlike asoiaf , is actually interesting. instead of action constantly jumping to random cunts that dont do anything like sansa, it is jumping from one full of action scenario. like, they jump from my hero fighting enemy arnmy practially all by itself to another one fucking his way into nobility, then esceping a city conquered by evil overseas empire while technically kidnaping their empress and running away with circus.

I mean the tax shit is actually reasonable – you need it if you're actually trying to simulate the world you're building, see if it can actually work. You then keep this in your notes (without putting it in your book because nobody cares), and see if it has any effect. For example, if you went simulationist with your worldbuilding and tracked where all the food is grown, and then realised that the enemy controls those areas, you would know that the defenders would have issues with food. You can then use it as an idea for a plotpoint, or just mention it in passing to make the world more believable and the situation of the defenders more dire (could justify why the defenders need to strike right then, despite unfavourable conditions, rather than waiting). The book reader would never notice 90% of this shit (most of it would likely never see any use), but it can be a great help for creating a cohesive and relatively realistic world along with a possible idea factory. The shit GRRM says there isn't really unreasonable as an approach, only I don't think he realises that LotR was never meant as some grim reality of life with all the shit and dirt, but as more of a fairy tale. It's like an AO game designer criticising Super Mario Bros for Mario not breaking his legs after too big a jump and not giving out ear-piercing shrieks as he is devoured alive by goombas. Sure, that approach is more realistic and it can definitely work in some grimdark AO platformer, but it's just not the kind of thing Super Mario Bros ever aspired or wanted to be in the first place.

There's still plans in the works for more proper Souls games too.

"First of all, this is not the final product for the Dark Souls series," Miyazaki said in a roundtable interview at E3 attended by Eurogamer's Aoife Wilson. "However, I believe it's the turning point for the Dark Souls series. First of all, Dark Souls has a really unique worldview. It's not a good idea, continuously releasing titles for this series because of that factor. And this will probably be the turning point of From Software as a whole - it's the last project we started working on before I became president. It's basically From Software, they started working on this project when it was an older generation. So it's a turning point. It'll be a turning point, but it's not final."

>>not-Mongols are all horse archers, when in fact Mongols themselves made extensive use of heavy cavalry and infantry

All Mongols warriors were required to bring bow and there were no infantry. They dismounted and fought on foot when needed (sieges) but it was dismounted cavalry not infantry infantry.

>Europe in the Middle Ages was almost constantly at war, hence why they were the ones that figured out to properly weaponize gunpowder first.

Too bad they were too stupid to invent it in the first place. So if no foreigners reveal secret of gunpowder … no gunpowder.

And more importunately Westeros is place with real working magic. Magic suppresses natural science its classic fantasy trope.

This guy knows. Miyazacki revolutionizes the entire industry with every game he creates and all the casual babbies can do is cry about it. I can't wait to sink my teeth into Elden Ring, which will no doubt be another homerun from FromSoft.

Could it be related to Eternal Ring?

The Ouroboros Ring about the Eternal Cycle, and something about a Moon? yeah, it's Miyazaki alright.
