Example; the Legend of Zelda: BotW and TotK weapon degradation system. At first I was annoyed at it, but once I stopped caring about my “favorite weapon” I really started to enjoy the system. I think it lends really well to the sandbox nature of the game and it itches that resourcefulness nature inside me.
I didn’t read the GOT books. That said, I enjoyed the show through to the last episode and wouldn’t have thought twice about any of it if the fans weren’t so angry. Idk why but I just don’t have the ability to be critical of (or follow very well) story or writing, or anything really. Maybe I’m just too good at suspending disbelief?
I thought the general broad strokes of what happened were fine (IE with
spoiler
Daenerys being the big villain and stuff
), I just thought it was rushed and done in a kind of sloppy way. I really didn’t like
spoiler
Bran becoming the king though
'cause I fucking hate that character lol.
Yeah, the broader plot points would have been totally workable if the execution hadn’t been so rushed and half-arsed.
