“When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.”
Cersei Lannister quite famously noted that to Eddard Stark one day. Any fan of the series would appreciate that sentiment, knowing full well how the sequence of events played out thereafter. In the game of Game of Thrones, that ethos has not just been adopted but entirely adapted to the point that at times, it feels as if the game outdoes itself.
The Game of Thrones RPG as it’s called, is a role-playing game that has released in a year chock full of role-playing games, already setting itself up for quite the challenge. And to add to that, it’s not exactly what you’d call a triple-A offering. Keep in mind, this is no Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Mass Effect 3. Developer Cyanide has had to work with a mere fraction of that sort of budget and the quality (or lack thereof) certainly shows in various aspects. But it’s even more amazing then to consider just how well this game manages to deliver nonetheless.
A Game Of Thrones: The Board Game lets players lead one of the six great houses as they battle and scheme to win the throne.
The award-winning A Game of Thrones Board Game is now on Steam! Forge alliances with your enemies and betray your friends in pursuit of the Iron Throne.
So far, every Game of Thrones game has been far from memorable. None of them stand up to the books or shows. Will there ever be a truly great video game based on the saga?
I wonder what's the deal with this series and is so famous, last time I was watching a small part of the last season episode and most of the time was talk and staring (alot of Dinklage staring lol) , talk more and staring each other again, and again and again and again, and then a Dragon appeared and later Zombie appeared and guess what ?, more stating!, heck I think the Dragon and Zombie stare a bit lol.
Just not by Bethesda
I don't mind them saying something like "Oh we don't have anything to tell you about Elder Scrolls VI because we are working on other new projects" because fair enough...new, exciting projects are always good BUT to have one of these games be Game of Thrones which would basically be a watered down Elder Scrolls would defeat the point. By watered down I mean the fantasy world in GoT is cool and all but ES has a broader range when it comes to the fantasy aspect, hell magic in GoT is tiny compared to the stuff within the ES Universe. I would rather have ESVI if that's the case.
I think the people to make GoT would be CD Projekt Red...but then I'd rather see them focus on Cyberpunk
People don't seem to get the bigger picture, they just see "GoT Game" and their fanboy self looses their shit...I'm looking at this long term, would I want a capable developer wasting time on one when I could see something new from them which isn't restricted by the GoT license.
I'd love to see GoT game from CD Projekt for sure ! Now they are in the last years of development, and after it support the game as they always did with Witcher series, they could pick up the GoT for a spin, without any restriction like it happened in the Witcher. Plus this would allow for the Witcher series to rest until possible a new game and an amazing GoT adaptation by one of the best studios in the world for me that is well known for adapting books already.
So that would put in their hands one of the biggest franchises atm and Cyberpunk which i'm so damn excited for
