Well Bethesda didn't ban me for voicing concern over fo76 
Identity on the other hand.... 
 
Realistically its difficult to compare the two as they are different game genres one with a small team the other a massive studio. There is no reason to expect identity to be even remotely on par with FO76 in terms of game play. For a fair comparison you would need to look at what other indie developers have done.
There are other games out there that are similar in style to Identity that have been in production for far less time and achieved a great deal more.

This is the identity map. 4 years $1.6million.
My frustrations with Identity stem from the constant over promise under delivered tactics that have been used since the game was announced. Multiple times the game was delayed with no real information as to why or when it would be available.

 
While a bit of a meme this is pretty accurate to what happened during the first module's development.
 
Then came release day. Instead of a specific time we were given between the hours of 9am and 5 pm EST. What game has an 8 hour release window? But 5pm came and went with little to no updates. All day long we had been told "John just has to push a button it will be live" from the community mangers and mods of the Identity discord server. The story "evolved" that John has pressed the button but steam was holding the process up. No evidence of any kind was given to back this up of course. 
 
Finally there came an update of 11PM EST the game would be launched. At aprox 11:10PM the game was available for download. That's when things took a very interesting turn. Most players were hit with constant crashes to desktop even though the game was still technically running. 
Once again the blame wasn't to be placed on Identity but instead the UI they had chosen.

After 2 hours the servers were taken offline due to numerous issues among the worst crashing, admin console be available to all players, invisible players and most of the 'features' of the module just plain not working. The servers would remain offline for quite some time while these issues were addressed. 
Bugs, crashes, and weird things are expected to happen on launches of games today. Even from the 'AAA' publishers. What I expect is honest communication with the player base who funded this endeavor. And when someone asks, Why? to not be instantly banned for "spreading false information". 
In summary Identity is a prime example of what not to do when creating a game. You can not over promise and under deliver, especially with out explanation and expect to succeed. Many months down the road it may have fixed a lot of the issues that plague it today. I hope it does. The premise for Identity is unique and ambitious. But if there are no players left does it matter?

APD Responds to Bank Robberies
What was once thought of as an insurmountable task , now looks like a ray of hope in a bleak fog.
Our last edition highlighted the string of bank robberies plaguing the country and the APD's inability to successfully respond accordingly. 
Since that expose the Altis Police Department stepped up its recruiting campaign and hired a surprisingly large and adept group of cadets. 
We all now some will not make it but the hopes of the Department seems to be on getting more boots on the ground to quell any insurrections that could have been funded
by these robberies, our investigative reporter IceVenom sent us a report on one of the notorious groups that have taken part in these robberies :
" 3:03 AM after the bank of Altis has closed a notorious gang known as "Drunk Squad" has broken into the bank armed to the teeth and waiting for a fight. Multiple fatalities at the bank including many police officers. After a long fight on the bank roof the officers lost yet another fight to the criminals. The criminals managed to make away with around 100 thousand dollars in bank notes."
Our reporters will continue to investigate the perpetrators and attempt to shed some light on the motives of the individuals in question. We will be bringing you continuous updates on this story.  We would also like to thank our reporters and officers risking their lives for the safety of the Country and to bring you the most telling news.
 
 
 

Where are all the Fish?
The fish seemed to have disappeared from most of Altis's markets
this seems to have stemmed from an influx of citizens steering away from lawful
work to unlawful work. With the new wave of officers patrolling the streets , will we see an increase 
in fish production? or will the staple food of the country become a scarcity leaving the citizens to sustain themselves
with grains and fruits. We cannot directly pinpoint the reasons but the ANN feels confident in its assessment and conclusion. 
 
 

Seismic Activity Wreaking Havoc
Across The Country    
Across all of Altis residents are awoken and startled by a large measurable increase in seismic activity
homes are being destroyed , and contractors are out in full force repairing and replacing the damage, the Governor has failed to comment on the the disaster response and 
the end to these nightmarish quakes  is no where in sight. The ANN urges all citizens to drive and walk with caution to avoid injury, the Medical examiner's office has issues a statement advising all citizens to seek medical attention upon any injuries to avoid prolonged disabilities. Anyone who has experience in the field of seismology is urged to assist in any capacity. 
 
This Concludes our 3rd edition of our Paper. We do want to apologize for the brevity of this edition as the new transition into a country wide news network has had a profound effect on our reporters who have been in the process of relocation to major cities across the country. We look forward to providing you with some news  footage on our next edition and urge our citizens and police force to participate in our reporting and news casting.

absolute mad lad

I still have 8 mill in my account. Flip me? 8 mill vs 8 mill

Wait, wait, wait, you're suggesting fixing the servers??? WHY DIDNT WE THINK OF THAT!

Your nation isn't defined by a flag or anthem but by the people. Hes kneeling for whats going on with them. Also it was a marine who told him to kneel because thats how they done it and it was more respectful. People may think theyre fighting for their nation or flag but its not the case at all and if you think that you're very naive.
