Gooooooooaaaalllllll. USA USA USA

While this may be true, I don't think the show portrayed it very well. It looked to me he was just looking to gtfo and then changed his mind at the last minute. Even once he got upstairs, he didn't have that look like 'Daddy is going down'. Even the wife, who hasn't read the books, assumed he...

Reading some of the tv-viewer only articles, seems a lot of viewers have more issues with Shae dying then anything else. Some also questioned Tyrion's behavior since in the entire scene (with Jaime and then upstairs) you don't get the impression he's looking to kill anyone.

To be honest, Brienne's story arc has strayed enough from the book that I don't think it's a certainty anymore that she goes to the quiet isle. As for what else they have her do, who knows.

I agree that I always thought Shae in the bed was just Tywin's hypocrisy, even to very end when Tyrion asks Tywin where Tysha had went and he says 'wherever whores go'.

At least for now until they have the scene where she gets on Drogon's back. Probably two seasons away unless that's the season end for Season 5.

I don't recall that, just the implication that Drogon was basically untameable. Was the old man requesting he go back to being a slave in there?

So rumors are next season Jaime is going to Dorne? So no Riverrun siege perhaps. It's not just comparisons to the book. Arya magically disappears behind a rock during the Brienne/Hound fight, Jaime lets Tyrion free with about the least amount of dialogue you can have, Tyrion defends himself...

If you are not going to compare it to the book then what exactly is the point of being in this thread? Go to the no spoilers thread where it's being reviewed as a tv show only.

I can live with some of the other scenes, but the ending with Tyrion just felt so rushed. He basically goes briefly insane during that sequence with Jaime and then upstairs to the Tower of the Hand in the book, plus you get the sense that he's truly alone once he's shipped off to Bravvos. In...

I've come to the conclusion that people will defend this show no matter how average it is. The episode wasn't great. The Tywin scene loses impact because there is real context behind it (Tysha) other than Tyrion is pissed that his dad put him on trial. Tyrion and Jaime leave on 'good' terms...

I've probably watched more soccer in the last two days than I did the entirety of the 2010 World Cup. The games have been entertaining. Of course, they need to be watched on Univision, despite me not understanding what they are saying, except for Gooooaaaalllll!!!

That was a little hard to watch (not really, but still...). Dwayne Wade is a broken man (physically and emotionally). For a team that is down 2-1, on their home floor, that's about as lifeless a performance you're going to see. And yet beyond all that, I can still see some sort of scenario...

I can see them doing that as a reaction to dropping subs. Actually, let me clarify, I can seeNCSofttelling them to do that if NCSoft sees dropping subs. I have no doubt that Carbine is pretty good at what they do, but the fact that NCSoft publishes this sends bad vibes all over for the future...

I'd say harvest is still better mainly because this requires minions on the board by turn 3 where harvest doesn't. It's actually a better late game card.

Hehe actually the trend lately has been the exact opposite, where those constantly praise a game are usually gone once the free month is gone and the thread becomes a ghost town. We'll see how this turns out.

But some of you say literally this exact same post whenever a new MMORPG comes out. I guarantee you if you go to the FFXIV thread you'll find an almost similar post(s) when that game launched. There were numerous posts on FOH that said Rift was WoW 2.0. And that's the point, is it just that...

People defending this game remind me how people defended Rift when it launched. Wonder if this will have the same shelf life of that game.

Why when the game itself doesn't promote that? The entire leveling process is designed so that you play by yourself. That's a large chunk of gameplay where you're not encouraged to talk to a single soul.

Unfortunately due to the truncated nature of the show, Davos is one of those characters that are probably never going to be shown like he was in the books. It'll be nice if the show has the White Harbor scenes when Davos is pleading with Lord Manderly for his support.

Agree 100% on challenges. You're in the middle of the quest and then 'CHALLENGE STARTED' with a timer and your instinct is to just try to complete the challenge and ignore whatever you were doing. Wish I knew about only doing Story quests about 5 days ago though.

Show Stannis is a shell of what the book character is. I'll be surprised if show Stannis ever says something like this: ?Edric?? he started. ??is one boy! He may be the best boy who ever drew breath and it would not matter. My duty is to the realm.? His hand swept across the Painted Table...

I remember early on (like week one of the KS) most of the comments on here were really positive, wanting to get the word out and basically dismissing anyone who had criticism of Brad or the project. If you brought up stuff like VG and the bullshit that followed you were basically told 'everyone...

I've messed around with crafting some already, it's ok but I'm not usually into crafting in any game so it's not going to matter here either. How do you access the housing? I hit lvl 14 and it said that unlocked housing but what do you do from that point? I think the worst part of the early...

That sucks when you're on a guest account trying to decide if you want to buy the game or not. I understand people saying it's gets better post 20, but if it doesn't grab me during the 'trial' (since I assume that's the whole point of the guest accounts, to get people interested and buy), then...

Did they have stuff in the tunnel in the book? I know the fight in the tunnel lasted awhile but I didn't think it went into detail there either. The thing that bothered me about the tunnel scene was in the book, the giant was so big he had to crawl on all 4's to get through it, but in the show...

-Edit- No reference to books no matter how minor.

Yea they (the show) changed her character to where she was enough of a cold hearted bitch that you didn't care that she died, no matter who did it.

Episode was good, not great (nowhere close to the Blackwater episode). Blame the lighting and too many scenes with Gilly and Ygritte. I think those who didn't like it that much need to lower expectations of what they expect a television show to produce, even an HBO show. The fight in the book...

I'm kind of in the same boat but I'm still trudging on. When you're just going from point a to b to c mindlessly just to see the 'level up' animation, something is wrong. I can't say it's the so call 'wow factor' because I didn't have this feeling when first play FFXIV, that game was actually...

Does the questing get any better? The small amount of PvP i've done we've gotten steamrolled every time which makes me wonder how viable that path is.

I'll be another who says that while I understand why they have limited the guest passes to level 20, it does not give the average fence sitter that much motivation to buy because it feels like the most boring part of the game so far. Rinse and repeat quests and the opening zones don't scream...

I don't know if I'd go that far. The two most recent 'wow' attempts are Rift and FFXVI. I don't think this games questing had anything on FF or even WoW for that matter (especially in later expansions with phasing). Granted this is still at lower levers for me. Played that first BG and it...

I never said the game is going to fail. What's your definition of fail? F2P? Losing half it's subs after the free month?

The games you mention are outliers, WoW for obvious reasons. GW2 isn't comparable since it's mostly a PvP game and is B2P. SWTOR was a trainwreck and mostly retains it's customers due to it's license. Same goes for FFXVI (although if you look at this board as a example, many stopped playing...

The game's challenge, like all wow clones is what's the sentiment two months from now, when the average player is close or at the level cap. This game is the same sort as almost every other type of mmorpg like this. Everyone praises it for a bit (usually during the first 30 days) and then...

What are the limitations of the guest passes? Eh, at this point, I challenge anyone to find me a MMORPG that wasn't sunshine and rainbows the first week or two at launch.

So I see a lot of posts saying this is great as a theme park MMO and I'm trying to figure out why? Because I saw literally the same exact thing said when FFXIV came out in September (outside of billing issues) and even that only lasted a month. Is that just the expectation now, it's great but...

I'm waiting until a real dev shows up and tells Brad they are in but get rid of the forum crazies as part of the team. Because that's that's what's going to happen if Brad sees an opportunity to make a game with an established group. All the apprentice devs are placeholders.

It's true your kid will get everything and anything those first years, more if they are in daycare. The good news is by the time they hit elementary school they are pretty much immune to most things. My daughter hardly gets anything anymore outside of allergy sniffles. You can tell which kids...
