Game of Thrones. Not as good as TV show.



The Song Of Fire And Ice - one of the most successful fantasy series of novels, TV viewers more familiar with Game of Thrones name. However, it was up to Mr. Martin novels got the license to HBO talented hands. After a successful series debut story lovers cohorts increased significantly, causing additional headaches expressionless French - Canadian studio Cyanide, which eventually ended up in equity rights to create games of Westeros?

The obvious lack of beauty

The first pancake burns - unspectacular Game of Thrones: Genesis has brought into question the role of the game was announced and the overall quality of the chef's expertise. The sports boosters and table games worked in the study tried all his experience to move into the new strategy. The game marked by curious decisions , but it was not enough - and lifeless gloomy portrait of the product practically does not differ from the set of competitors , and given him the name only irritated fans of the universe .
Even before an RPG variation authors and fans rushed to curry favor from the curious pay off. Lightning speed in the game include the TV series main Raman’s Djawadi tune and announced that both products are close relatives. Meanwhile, the greatest contribution made ​​him epic novel, the game script naming canonical.
Only unfortunately, an intriguing story, great sound design and love alien universe critics did not sufficiently strong to provide a set of positive feedback. On the other hand, is a lot to criticize?
Unreal Engine 3 and Cyanide duo recalls the first evening of dance students. Sluggish movements, flushing cheeks and carpet still on partner legs - this benevolent comparison, shoots off in the head after the first acquaintance with the game. Low- resolution and grimy texture - half of the problem. Wooden animation and hateful scenery, what else. Of course , the Smurfs village of Seven Kingdom does not have anything in common, horror presents technological aspects of the style well, as promised, is close to the series and perfectly reflects the political and mythological world Bauby camp did not suffer .
Intestinal form corridors , vegetation ugly , dirty background , and five -year -old object models do not remain unnoticed , at least as far as lighting diminished capacity soothes the eyes. Meanwhile, on an industrial scale to multiply characters appear in the background in the shadow of his identity does hide. Of course, this kind of charges a small study, especially when the roles of the world reigns fierce north Vikings are somewhat exaggerated. But after the boom, which led to the name of the famous HBO expect high quality.
Greeted by robe ...
Be that as it may, the graphics not playing. Game of Thrones in the past trying to hide the first impressions of deep roles system gives the player the freedom to choose and play deserved awaited fan- service.
Game story from the perspective of two characters: Sir Moors Westford and red monk Alistair Service. The events of the first game evolve Martin's book (and the first season of the TV series) in the background. The above-mentioned series of novels by the author’s approval Cyanide scriptwriters - not just a marketing campaign. Meticulous placed closely intertwined with the events described in the book of history. Long years Lancaster’s service Sir Westford threw the guard service in the dark, and the overthrow of influence Targariens Sarvik decision to withdraw the Liberty City area.
Martin universe similar narrations do not say anything, but the game developers tried to glory, trying to present the events understandable. Here you and detailed explanations, and even built-in encyclopedia. This solution pleasantly surprising, after all, along with the teaching of facts peculiar to their interpretation. In order to enjoy the game, no need to get acquainted with the books and television series, and the authors selected a few intricate fusion events - a true gift for any role-playing enthusiast.
A linear plot and characters with pre-build their characters and properties of strange, but did not become an obstacle to the use of role-playing system. Players are advised to select the desired class, which is responsible for its own capacity trees and used a range of weapons and armor. In addition, permitted use of specialization and ability points, but the most interesting looks strengths and weaknesses of choice. Reinsertion into the talented leadership characteristics actor resume received penalty points, which will undercut the voluntary purchase and weakness.
In addition, improved character interaction with the surrounding world. Options during the game not only allow the player to perform one or another action and thus influence future events, but also to build some extra muscle. Some options are directly influenced by the character's performance.
Anti heck causes two kinds of feelings. On the one hand the standard mmo kit with quick keys stripe puzzled, but as far as the situation corrects active pause. It is worth noting here that the developers tried to create something original. Pause - is conditional title, time does not stop, instead of dramatically slowed down. Thanks to the battles become discreet and slanted animation does not seem to slow down time so shamelessly.

Accompanied by the mind

Trying to compare, the closest relatives of Game of Thrones - is Dragon Age and The Witcher franchise. Due to the different factors of the game is second to both competitors, but has strengths significantly overtaking his colleagues. Martin Love the world and meticulous attention to detail, nothing inferior Polish product, the ability to add new characters, while still getting the author's approval of a full head taller than the Canadian effort.
Unfortunately, one of the heavier stones deployed by Cyanide kitchen garden has become a special feature of the game - his presentation. Unlike other genres representatives of French direct their attention to the story , you lose the game thanks to the normal pace of the action and basically loses practically all representatives of the genre overall kill - talk - talk atmosphere . Speculate whether this sort of design has been provided in the design concept, or is it merely the narrative emphasis on other elements of the game price - not worthwhile, too late.
