Finally, a Game of Thones Video That Doesn’t Fill Me with Orgasmic Bliss
Finally, a Game of Thones Video That Doesn’t Fill Me with Orgasmic Bliss
That’s because it’s a preview of the Game of Thrones videogame, and it still looks pretty good. The game is clearly trying to be as Dragon Age-y as possible, which is by no means a bad call for a fantasy RPG. I still wonder how well the game will incorporate Game of Thrones‘ actual storyline, or if the two new characters will just always be on the fringes of said events (chances of one of these dudes helping take Tyrion hostage in the inn for Catelyn: 87%). Still, I’ve heard worse game pitches than “Dragon Age, but with Game of Thrones names.”
