A large scale online game like the old Star Wars Battlefront. Play as one of the major factions all with different strengths (Green Martians are strong and carry more weapons, Red Martians have better technology, etc). Add in hero characters like John or Tars Tarkas.

Yeah, I can see Stormlight being pretty cool. That being said, aside from the magic system and combat, the books are pretty terrible.

Awful pacing, generic characters, horrible dialog. Sanderson gets way too many dickriders for how bad of an author he is.

But he churns out books at a rapid pace, so I guess that's cool?

>Legend, by David Gemmel.
It actually got a game way the hell back in the day but it needs an update. Not-Rome is being invaded by Not-Attila and only one ultimate choke-point can hold him off. A small force of conscripted farmers, psychic genius warrior-monks, Robin Hood's merry men and DRUSS THE FOOKIN' LEGEND are all that stands between Not-Atilla and global conquest. Would make for a great Mount & Blade mod or stand alone siege-management game.
>>389256286
His series is 2000 pages of his boring as fuck student life (he spent something like 8 years as an undergraduate before graduating in ENGLISH) combined with disgusting wish-fulfillment which would turn off CWC (motherfucking sex-ninjas and sex-goddesses falling at MC's feet.

>Earth Abides, by George Rippey Stewart (or something odd like that)
Post apocalyptic society rebuilding story that isn't a retarded edge-fest or ham-fisted political allegory. Just normalfaggots trying to put the world back together after a super-plague kills most people. No bondage-bandits or political utopias in sight. Could work in lots of different ways, I just like post-apocalyptic stuff and wish the stories weren't all so irrationally misanthropic.

>Tales of the Dying Earth, by Jack Vance
Considering that this series is almost the single biggest contributor to the construction of D&D a game ought to be simple enough. Either an open-world RPG full of crazy shit or maybe a story driven adventure with a beginning, middle and end in the vein of 'Cugel the Clever'.

His Goodreads review of 'Legend' is one of the most disgusting things on the internet. It's worse if you've looked at both because Legend is blatantly what he's trying to do only infinitely better despite being 1/10 the length.

There's two that are fairly infamous and get posted in these threads a lot.

I made it through 2 and a half Malazan books.

The first one was okay. I know it's considered the weakest.

The second one has a lot of pacing issues, but ends super well.

I got maybe halfway through the third one and just lost interest. I'm not a fan of books where 90% of the book is dull, with the last 10% being amazing. It makes it such a struggle to read it.

I get that its amazing, but it's not for me. Then with every book switching up the characters, it's hard to get attached to literally anybody.

His hobbies included reading a novel or two a day and giving relationship advice to all his friends despite the fact that he had never so much as kissed a girl. He also role-played and wrote terrible stories about elves. He was pretty much a geek.

>For the next seven years Pat studied anthropology, philosophy, eastern religions, history, alchemy, parapsychology, literature, and writing. He studied six different martial arts, practiced improv comedy, learned how to pick locks, and became a skilled lover of women. He also began writing a satirical advice column which he continues to this day: The College Survivial Guide. Through all of this he continued to work on his novel.

>Now Pat teaches half-time at his old school as an assistant-sub-lecturer. He is underpaid but generally left alone to do as he sees fit with his classes.

Nigger Rothfuss is an issue because he became huge over reddit sucking his dick so hard he actually believes hes some deep visionary and his books all have some hidden meaning.

Seriously, the first book held so much promise. What a spectacular waste of a setting.

sex was a completely normal thing in their society, just something you did with another person. I think after some sparring with his hot teacher he had a boner like it was a fucking hentai and his teacher basically took him to the bushes to fuck him so they could continue training. and yeah he also had the most beautiful girl there lust after his dick and he also fucked her in addition to his teacher. I don't know how rothfuss managed to restrain himself from having the 3 have a threesome.

I'd gain a lot of appreciation for Rothfuss if it turned out the entire latter half of book 2 is just completely made up (since the framing device is Kvothe telling a story)

I never actually read the book, instead I read https://ronanwills.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/lets-read-the-name-of-the-wind-ch-1/. It's actually very entertaining. Shit writers do piss me off like nothing else in the world though. Can't plebs just be happy watching superhero tv shows or something? Why do they have to taint literature with their lack of taste? An entire generation of genre-fiction is nothing but dweebs writing about dweebs for other dweebs, it all might as well be anime novelizations. Sanderson, Rothfuss, Erikson, they're all fucking awful.

Worst book I ever picked up. Literally.

>>389259996
it was after the sex goddess encounter, because he tried his sex god skills on her and she wasnt entirely impressed. the sex warrior village was basically the last thing to happen in the books, there was essentially an epilogue after where he returned to the college, impressed everyone with his sex skills and impressed his teacher with his magic cloak, and he had a good time out with his friends and then the book ended.

>>389259839

the second series is so much more different in tone, it's a ton more light hearted but there is still some dark stuff since it's the same universe, but I felt it was less overbearing that Jorg's trilogy. Lots. I kind of hated the fact the Jorg basically always wins no matter what, at least in the second trilogy the protag is a useless young ezio type character and he's always finding smart ways to get out of work and life and death situations. second book in that trilogy was the best imo, third one basically tells you what happens to the world and how it got that way.

>le unreliable narrator
If Rothfuss pulls this I will unironically drop all of my life plans to travel to American and kill him by stuffing his books down his throat page by page until nothing is left and then kill myself because a world where Rothfuss can sell even a single copy of his work isn't really worth living in. If Kvothe is just telling a story that would unironically make it worse than if it were true. This guy is supposed to be a level 999 bard since he was 8 years old, how can he be this fucking poor a storyteller? I don't think that Rothfuss has ever appreciated good fiction in his life. Hell, after reading his work you could be forgiven for thinking he's never even spoken to a human being before.

>>389260049
Urth is an awesome setting but Severian's story would be beyond impossible to ever adapt faithfully. It's too literary to ever work as anything but writing, you could get the tone across maybe if you were willing to rip the story's guts out and hand the general concept over to some visionary like John Boorman but the world doesn't like giving us nice things so that will never happen. Just some shit about the Ascian War or general adventuring in the Commonwealth could be cool.

>>389260486
all that shit is happening while he is telling the story, I don't think anything of note happens in present day at the end of the book. his demon assistant or whatever (actual spoilers if anyone cares) hires thugs to try to incite kvothe to go back to the old days before 9/11, but kvothe restrains himself and takes the beating like a cuck, I can't remember if this happens in the very end or just towards it. I know it happens after we learn that he trained with the warriors because it's supposed to set up drama where you expect him to lay the beat down but in the end he doesn't

Soulsborne is a meme and ASoIaF's lore is just a clusterfuck of different existing ideas until GRRM actually finishes the series and does something coherent with them (which he probably won't but at this point the 'actually science-fiction all along' theories might as well be confirmed). If you like Souls just read Jack Vance, Souls is Tales of the Dying Earth only with fancy flourishing prose replaced with fancy flourishing rolling on the floor.

And of course King's Field is the best thing From Software ever made.

Someone asked him about it in a convention, about why Kvothe wanks himself off constantly.

>Nothing in the world is really interesting except where you go for fantasy shit (mainly dragons honestly)

there's actual fantasy elements outside of westeros though, westeros is the cliche historical fiction while everywhere outside it has actual magic/glamor. dragons, the lord of light, those blue lipped wizards, all came from outside of westeros. of course it's not just wizards and magic everywhere in essos, but westeros in comparison is very straight forward, except for maybe valyrian steel but that is basically just a lost technology to westerosi and not actual magic.

Publishers just hire random people to do cheap covers for them. Usually the artist doesn't know anything about the book he's doing the cover for. This is especially common for sci-fi covers where it's just some random ship. Also one of the worse examples of irrelevant covers is The Lost Fleet, a book series about an admiral of a space fleet. Some versions of those books use generic marine on planet on the cover, despite the MC never even wearing a space suit or participating in the combat.

Was there something about this series I wasn't getting?
I stopped reading after he starting learning to be the worlds greatest swordsman when he was already the worlds greatest bard,mage,alchemist and literal sex wizard.

Is the thing that keeps it interesting that he could be lying about some of the stuff or maybe thetrue power is stories all along or am I just supposed to suck Kvothes dick like the rest of the books world does?

Like seriously, I can normally look past stuff like that but it got SO ridiculous.

Not to mention that we are hearing it all from HIS point of view. Nothing to say he isn't exaggerating a lot of his shit.

The whole Fey bit and him being naturally good in bed is the only Gary-stu bit that is just a little too fedora worthy.

>>389265526
Except it's written in a terrible way for Unreliable Narrator.
Unreliable Narrator is at its best when small details in the prose give away what's being narrated is wrong. For example, saying he's so good that he wins all the competitions, then later throwing an off hand reference to one somebody else won. That sort of thing.
Saying "I'm the best. Lol, JK" and then throwing arbitrary roadblocks in his path is the absolute worst form of it, because it relies on Meta knowledge to see it coming.
And so is "I awed a crowd with only one string unbroken on my instrument" and then saying "aktually I awed a crowd with an unbroken instrument" because it's just slowing the pace of the author masturbating in your face, not stopping it.

>>389265526
Alright
>>Can't hold on to the women he loves
They're both fucking retards and for all I care Denna can die in a house fire offscreen between books
And muh love aside, he fucks plenty of girls (always the hottest ones around, of course)
>>Is consistently poor and cucked
He can't be cucked if she's not his gf. And he's NOT consistently poor, he turns out to be amazing at something he tries for the first time, making shitloads of money with it, and then falling back to poor as dirt cause he spends it all on a new instrument or clothes or whatever
It's the same exact cycle repeated like 5 times throughout the books, I'm so fucking sick of it
>>Clearly dosn't save the world or even himself
Gary Stue is a perfect protagonist, has nothing to do with having to save the world
Besides, that's clearly what it's building up to

thats true. a more apt one would be kyon kun suddenly being black on the 20000th loop of endless 8. theres no perfect analogy because the time loop is roland's entire life, not a short term one like ground hog day or haruhi. but it definitely isn't a multiverse because the dark tower was the center of all creation including all multiverses, there is only one roland. he lived in the keystone All-World that was twins with the keystone Earth that Stephen King lived in.

>>389265962
Pretty sure it'll be revealed he isn't an unreliable narrator and the story he is telling is his Name which will unlock the thrice locked box

And he's a Lockless, will kill the Maer and is the eponymous king

I just started reading this book the other day, and it seems to me that the point of his character is that he's the best adventurer ever. Not saying that it's any more interesting when it's the point, but I mean there's no way you could have been expecting anything else.

>>389266078

"fans" like him are a diamond dozen

>>389266428
The intro says that the best adventurer ever thing was a lie, and the real man was just a lucky fuck up that was good at tricking people.
While it's true that should raise red flags, since most authors think trickster/manipulator = reading the script in advance (Fucking Villains Rule), but it does at least make you think that the extreme bullshit will be peppered with a minor reality check, and one not designed to make him look even better.

>>389266428
It could have been an interesting journey on how he became the best adventurer though
Any struggle just feels fake, he's the best at everything no matter what

He's from the Fae realm which Kvothe has been to. I think the general idea is the Maer is a Chandrian or in league with them or something and...

I can't remember been too long since I've read it.

>genre fiction

There is are two lesser-known Zelazny novels that would make good games:

1) Jack of Shadows : non--rotating world with the night side ruled by magic, and the day side ruled by science. Night siders are reborn in the Dung Pits of Glyve when the die.

2) Creatures of Light and Darkness. An interstellar story that could work sort of like Xenosaga. (Just as overblown)

>>389266938
I kind of dislike him, or well I like him when he's serious and when he's just mildly funny; Sanderson has real problems with prose though, so whenever he tries to write a character that's supposed to be super witty and goofy it just comes off as awkward to me.

>>389266635

A fucking fantasy mafia simulator in which:

>main character is a magic-wielding assassin trying to build his crime business
>getting revived from being killed is a common in-world occurrence
>magical teleportation is a thing, meaning fast travel is appropriate
>two different schools of magic
>a flying familiar for scouting and psychic dialogue
>assassination at home is a big no-no, meaning natural safe zones
>flying fucking castles
>ultra rare magical weapons

Despite being originally written in the 80's the series was tailor-made for video games.
