Feels like a “story” game. I’m not sure if my choices make a difference or not, so it may take a couple plays to see what happens. I can’t say that I’m particularly “enjoying” it, but I know nothing of GoT and like some of the imagery of the story.
That's not what made it terrible, it was terrible because of the utterly boring, humourless, and apart from the odd little twist, an almost entirely predictable script. Especially, there was none of the usual clever, humorous dialog, particularly from Tyrion. I actually liked the twist where Bran became king, it made total sense. Although it would have been way cooler if the night king actually won. I mean, considering the number of characters that were killed off who we'd thought were main characters, it was a lame ending to have almost every evil character destroyed in the end. Even Danny, who was clearly becoming more and more tyrannical, was killed off. Basically, the final season's story line was clearly driven by some idiot bean-counting executive from above who hadn't been involved before.Let's be honest with ourselves. It was crap
The throne should have gone to Danny, Jon Snow, or hell even the zombie of Ned Stark would have been a better king than Bran.
That all said, I'm interested in the game, simply because it's GOT, but the game preview was as uninspiring as the final season.
Didn't they make him king in the last few moments of the entire series? You're wandering into fan fiction territory now. Judge the show for it's run, not what might happen after it ends.Let's be honest with ourselves. It was crap

I agree, it looks kind of cool but I have no idea what it is as a game. So sick of game trailers that are all rendered movies and titles and little or no actual gameplay. If you don’t show me the game I’m not going to buy it!
So much this, the random/nonsensical sex scenes with little relevance and ditsy language kept a broad spectrum of people salivating. Westworld and House of Cards are other prime examples. Easy writing when you have to fill out multiple episodes so can't blame them too much.
I haven't rewatched any of it since S8. Every time I try, I just think what's the point? I know where this story arc goes (nowhere).
Thanks for introducing me to this art style. It's wonderful.
The game animation also looks gorgeous.
Are they good writers though? I see little evidence. Generally, I enjoyed almost all of GoT (apart from the last couple of eps), but there was a notable downturn in quality when they ran out of books to guide them by the hand and they had to rely on crib notes amongst George’s shopping lists and Starbucks receipts.
It went downhill fast after it lapped the books. It was if they were suddenly rushing to finish.
LOST is my most hated show of all time. By the end, it felt like the writers and producers were just abusing anyone stupid enough to still be watching. That last season...and the final explanation...beyond terrible. I used to think unforgivable, but then Lindelof gave us The Leftovers and all was forgiven. Unlike LOST, The Leftovers ended brilliantly. One of the best shows ever made. You just have to make it through the intense first season.
Oh yeah...GOT. Yawn. The last two seasons were garbage. I’ve pretty much forgotten that show and have no interest revisiting it or anything related to it.
Couldn’t agree more on all points. LOST annoyed the hell out of me, Leftovers was a masterpiece.
I wonder when Apple will decide to ban their own gaming service for “not being in compliance with App Store rules” or some nonsense like that.
Oh wait, I forgot they don’t play by their own rules...

He didn’t become king. He is with the Night’s Watch. Where did you see him become king?
i made it through the first season of the leftovers, i found it boring, not intense. some day i will watch the rest.
I was looking forward to i phone Xs X Cloud Gaming -seems it's not going to happen.
Doesn't stop me purchasing next gen Console, though disappointing.

You can turn notifications off and just open the app once a day and do the commands. So not really an issue.
I just finished a rewatch and I liked it all the way through The Long Night. After that, the story goes off the rails.
Yeah, I play it every now and then between other stuff. Kinda enjoying the story more than I thought I would. Simple kinda game BUT I like to see how the missions play out.
The first three seasons were good, 4 was ok. All the others are trash.
