Brandon Sanderson Is Close to Adapting Mistborn Into a Video Game
-
I know it because its the reason jordans wife chose him to complete the wheel of time series. Never read it myself but it would be on the list if I start reading a lot again which I thought was unlikely two decades ago but with enshitification I am moving to less and less tech.
Thought Robert Jordan chose Sanderson and that Sanderson spent time with Jordan discussing how he wanted it to end the series as well as explaining all the extensive notes he prepared for Sanderson.

A book series so poorly written, you’ll never believe the author did so on purpose.
I feel like this is not the popular consensus…
Like… maybe some people aren’t a huge fan, but saying poorly written seems harsh. Maybe you just don’t like fantasy?
-
Huh? How you figure?
Some people just hate anything that’s popular. Most of them grow up at some point.

Somewhere between Spiderman and Arkham Asylum style games would really work really well.
The setting of the first book was very cloak and dagger with lots of similarly and overly powered opponents.
Book 2 and 3 got turned on thier head and you’d probably want to slowly adapt towards Prototype or inFamous as the setting loses its cloak and dagger story elements.
That’s a pretty classic game series progression though.
Looking at you, Assassin’s Creed and whatever it is you’re doing now with stat checks for shoving a knife in a dude’s neck

Not to speak of this particular series one way or the other but… Popular things can also be poorly written. Case and point: Harry Potter.

I’m not denying that Brandon Sanderson sells a lot of books, which is what those lists track. His aggressive mediocrity is, in many ways, precisely why he’s on those lists.

Regardless of how you feel about the author, Harry Potter is not poorly written.

Jordan who? Jordan Holmes is more into dune than the wheel of time

Nah, I love lots of popular things. But I can also separate my personal enjoyment of something from its inherent quality.
Mistborn’s actual plot is fun! I enjoyed it. That said, the books are very poorly written. Everything from the characterization to the style is objectively bad. Brandon Sanderson is not intellectually gifted or well-read or emotionally intelligent, etc, and that impedes his writing ability.
Would you say “How I Met Your Mother” is some incredibly well written work of art? Come on, it’s one iota removed from fart jokes.

You are just saying that it IS bad without offering any actual explanation.
How is it bad in your opinion, what specifically is an example of bad and why you think that way.
“Everything from the characterization to the style is objectively bad”
Is no different than saying “it’s bad” you offer nothing about your opinion other than how you feel about it, which you have already expressed and are just repeating yourself with more words.
If you don’t care to explain your opinion beyond stating what you’re opinion is then your opinion isn’t worth much to anyone else which makes your comment a waste of time and energy. A waste of your time and energy as well as everyone else’s
Perhaps you only wanted wanted attention though as your only motive which if it’s in fact what you wanted then congratulations on that

Even if I explained in painstaking detail how Sanderson mixes metaphors or fumbles diction, what’s the point?
Honestly, go read a few thousand books, then revisit Mistborn and see for yourself. Or maybe make friends with a literature professor and ask them to explain it to you using tiny words.

You chose to express your opinion for a reason. You chose communicate it to other people by the medium of Lemmy which exists so that PEOPLE can talk to other people.
This isn’t a diary or a journal.
The point would be to help other people understand what the fuck you mean with your words you chose to string together, Jesse.
I’ve been reading for almost 40 years and I’m asking you to explain what you meant. Initially because I’ve read those books and many others and it was anything other than clear to me why you hold the opinion you hold.
Asking you to explain yourself and you can only say go spend literally decades reading other things if you didn’t implicitly understand why I said what I said.

Hope she isn’t in the games at all. Worst Sanderson character ever, by far.
‘I’ll do everything stupid because my intuition and never learn or change. Everyone will always be surprised by me doing the same things over and over.’
She’s so whiny. Like a worse prototype of Shallan.

Mistborn animation please, I don’t trust any other media to adapt this story properly

Never heard of it before though I’m interested in adaptations of books but that’s more in hopes of ones I like getting something
Just FYI, the series devolves into Mormon propaganda in the first trilogy. I wasn’t sure why the third book felt so off until I saw that Sanderson went to Brigham Young University. I also talked to an ex-Mormon friend of mine, and he apparently noped out halfway through the first book when he saw the signs

Yeah my son was given a copy for Christmas and reading it for the second time ever I have to agree it’s well written. Lots of little details that are simultaneously fun and world/character building.
Eg: Hagrid giving Dudley a pig tail and then grumbling that he’d tried to turn him into a pig, but it turns out he’s already so piglike he’s only missing a tail. It is funny (for a 7 year old), it builds Dudley’s character and also foreshadows Hagrid’s iffy relationship with magic.

The reason is simple. There’s a small fraction of the population who will see what I wrote about the Mistborn series and chuckle knowingly and feel less alone. Educated people are lonely. Books don’t get discussed often on Lemmy, and I suddenly see a post about Brandon Sanderson. What’s next, The Secret? Or maybe the Twilight saga? Although that’s unfair, since Meyer is a more skilled writer than Sanderson.
Do you think someone who has been eating food for 40 years needs me to explain why cheese and bread doesn’t constitute fine dining?
Come on dude I enjoy reading trash as much as anyone (a lot more than most) but that doesn’t mean I can’t be objective.

Most of his books are written like he’s pretty desperate for someone to make a video game adaptation. The metal (“fuel”) and “classes” in Mistborn, the way weapons work in the Cytoverse, etc., etc., it all seems specifically designed for a game adaptation.
Hopefully Mistborn goes to a studio that knows what they’re doing and the gameplay is actually fun!
Have you ever read a litrpg? It’s like that but more. It’s a whole genre and people do it in purpose… IMO it’s bloody awful. I read one by accident once.

No, I wasn’t familiar with that term.
That being said, if you look past the “gamified” world rules, his writing is really good. I enjoy the worlds he crafts, they’re pretty unique in design, the magic systems are interesting and fresh. And his narration style is also up my alley.
