Berserk still understood good and evil, it just drown good in evil to the point that it's almost gone. That's kinda the whole point of it, the near impossible struggle to hold on to anything good in an evil world. Even the "grey" characters move towards good through adversity and revelation.
GoT rejects the idea of good entirely for "everybody kinda sucks".
Yeah George was far more influenced by real life tales like the War of the Roses, and basically magnified all the degenerate twisted elements he could find in medieval history. I don't read Beserk in his stories.
George RR Martin's work was heavily influenced by the manga Berzerk. I'm not entirely sure undermining Tolkien was his goal.

Is there a basis to that statement?
It'd be one thing if you said Dark Souls, but GoT? I don't see it at all.
