Played for an hour... With no features.. is this what to expect when the novelty wears off?

[Frisky 36]

So I played for an hour.. and man I don't think I can play for another hour even with the functionality TO EVEN DO ANYTHING

 

 

I Have been hard on this game for the last 2 days after their horrible launch and pr skills, and I think I have had the right to be after waiting for 2 years (Much shorter than most people)

 

Fair warning Yes I know the servers were and are still glitched but this may give you some insight to how barren this game is without the very few features.

 

First off the bugs are insane for having worked on such a small area for so long. So many ways under the map it is crazy.

While I expected bugs you would think after 4 years and multiple restarts that could at least make it so you don't just clip through buildings like it is water.

 

Secondly

There is nothing to do with features like:

Apartments

Movie theater

Art

and... making a book

and chess

 

Some of you will be like WELL THAT IS THE GAME IT IS A SOCIAL HANGOUT DURRR HUR DURRR

 

Yes I get it, but think about it for a second. How long are you going to spend... playing chess or customizing your apartment to do nothing but stand in it and maybe talk to some one? Maybe you will go to the movies (if it even works) that may kill some time. Maybe draw a dick or 2 on a canvas?

 

Lets add all this time together after you are done experimenting and maybe singing a few songs. You can probably do all of this in 4 hours or less.. and that is being generous assuming you are really looking at all the features.

 

Then what do you do? From my experience of over an hour of just being a wandering shadow... because apparently they can't get this bug right either..

It is a very vacant game if you can call it that. Yes it is fun to talk with others and goof around a bit... but even after running around the circle... 30 times it got old fast. Now maybe with apartments it will be more goofy to visit them.

 

After  all is said and done... 1 hour without all the features incorporated was all most the people could take that I talked to.

 

Now you may be wondering why am I talking about this?

 

My fear is that this game is going to die very fast. People will play and use all the features.. then what, wait a year or more for the next module? I know the hard core fans will stick around, and I might try and hop in again (if I even can) but there is just nothing to keep people coming back. Once you spend your time making you apartment or watching a movie.. maybe the firing range will open up in 3 months.

 

I hope that identity has some tricks up their sleeves with implementing more interaction than just a tattoo parlor... because from how ive seen people talking in game. The lack of actual impact you can accomplish will drive people away fast.

 

Hopefully in the end Identity... can find its identity...https://imgur.com/qU5vVQI
