How is crap like this published and printed? There is greentext rp-faggotry that sounds better than this.

Conan the Barbarian. Done in the style and depth of The Witcher 3. Would blow Cyberpunk out of the water.

I sure hope nobody posts anything like that in this thread.

Slenderverse: The Bible

I think the Dark Tower could be interesting. It would have to be heavily modified, obviously, but would work well as an action RPG I feel.

I unironically love reading schlock like this, but viking vangels may be a little too much for me.

That could definitely work if they just skipped everything that happened in book 4.

My vote's on Maze Runner. With the gameplay of Mirror's Edge with a day and night system, exploring the random shifting labyrinth looking for clues and getting the fuck away from the grievers.

>>386718746
There are way more horrible ideas for a TPS/FPS protagonist than Jack Reacher. The books about this ultra-secret super special agents fighting ISIS/Al-Qaida and russians are enough proof of that.

The thing is you couldn't have a Jack Reacher game where he's just gunning down waves of goons. His enemies are usually fairly small groups of conspirators with maybe a dozen armed mooks at most. Plus he's the top sniper in the entire US armed forces so you can't have him spraying bullets all over the place. Melee combat has to be based around completely debilitating the enemy as quickly as possible. There could maybe be some room for some LA Noire-y investigations and questioning.

It would have to have super-realistic damage and scare ammo, so that what few fights you get in are quick and practical.

She has zero feelings for it, she even gave him a full body exam while he was unconscious and explained his tiny penis to him.

I only saw the second movie but that was seriously some The Last of Us stuff.

Don't forget you'd also have to evade from cops because for some reason all intelligence agencies and cops have a hard-on for catching Reacher

The second movie is not that good m8. Go watch the first one.

Most fantasy novels, though many of them would require it to be an MMO with decades of xpacs to be able to do the entire storyline, particularly Malazan and WoT, and cosmere once it's finally done after all of us are dead and Sanderson, having lived a full, fruitful life of 350 years, finally writes his final word on his deathbed, leaving a legacy of thousands of books to read just to have a basic understanding of his universe.

>>386719423
We need a main villain who is a skilled combatant, or at least has a bodyguard who is a skilled combatant. Could do a knife fight like Gone Tomorrow I guess. Something resembling a final bossI feel like having Reacher shoot the villain with zero warning like he does wouldn't fly in a video game.

The wacky story of Charles II of spain

developed by Telltale

>>386719927

I've dreamt of a Baldur's Gate styled CRPG in the Dragonlance saga since I read them as a teenager. Especially the Raistlin books.

On one hand some kind of RPG a la Mass Effect based on the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy could be incredible.
On the other hand, seeing what is the industry standard for writing, I pray whichever higher being there may be to never let that happen.

>>386719053
All awards are jokes.

Stephen King's "Cell" would have made for a better cinematic game than both Telltale's TWD and The Last of Us

I think the setting could be fun for an adventure game.

Both Mistborn trilogies would work amazing as open world games.

I've been really wanting to get published, I don't even care if it particularly sells well, with standards apparently this fucking low, is it really that easy?

>>386719197

>>386721345
Gotta find an audience

>>386721345
Yes and no. An established author could probably get away with that, but a new author needs to have a fucking masterpiece or something with a ton of mass market appeal, because editors get piles upon piles of trash and even decent writing that they don't entertain for more than a few sentences before tossing in the trash.

It's a shame the "Minecraft farting fetish for kids" route has already been taken.
