Posted January 6, 2016 So if I want to describe this game to people should I say it's like "The Sims" crossed with "Grand Theft Auto Online" crossed with "Farm Simulator" crossed with Those many tycoon games crossed with????. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 6, 2016 I saw a news article that described it as "If The Sims and GTA had a baby, this would be the game" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 6, 2016 Those are all pretty good answers. The closest well-known game to the crime/heist side of things would probably be the Payday series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 6, 2016 I'd call it a "Life sim". It's so weird that there are so many Building sims but when it comes to Life sims there's literally only Sims and few bad mobile games. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's great that such great developers figured out we're short on those titles Most people I know love roleplay and making their own characters but hate making or describing houses, interior designs etc. I have no clue why there are so many building games! I'd love more life simulators. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess because there aren't many out there to the major dev company's it looks like a niche market not worth their dev time but all it takes is for one game to do really well in a particular genre and it might take off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, Sims are a big franchise and they earn a ton of money. Everyone knows about Sims, even people who never played it. It's hard to believe no one ever tried to make anything Sim-like. o: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of them however either weren't very good or didn't have the right backing to become what they could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually people post under "Sim like games" stuff like Second Life, IMVU or some bad mobile games, like Virtual Families. There's really a tiny amount of games where you can create characters and make them have a normal life. It's just weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was disappointed with the console version of sims. Although I very much enjoyed urbz sims in the city Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 7, 2016 Hello there, To be honest.. I've always wanted a game (singleplayer or MMO) where you spent your life in prison and have to like join gangs, fight for turf, deal drugs, pay cops off, shank people, etc.. That'd be interesting to play, but unfortunately nothing really close to this has been released thus far.. So I'm hoping Identity will expand upon their prison system so that you can do things inside of prison too. One can dream, after all! Kind regards, DJScias 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Is it like second life but better? And doesn't suck? Edited January 13, 2016 by RevyGuy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the characters look like monkeys by default. o-o In Second Life the only purpose is walking (and flying?) and, if you want- buying stuff. But you can't earn money for the stuff because there are no jobs apart from making your own stuff that people will buy. Second Life is a social game, but it's absolutely awful. Identity will be a Role Playing Life Simulation based on Cops & Robbers. It's more like GTA and Sims in my opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah its horrid, I'm just hoping its not going to be anything at all like that and making a half-joke. Thank you.
