Identity vs The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Identity
Identity aims to disrupt the traditional grindy and repetitive gameplay of modern MMORPGs by introducing an MMORPG that has an open world that's free of restrictions; a place where players can determine their own destinies as well as the world around them. The game features a massive, rich and immersive open world which includes all sorts of landscapes as well as means of moving around, such as vehicles, bicycles and trains. There are also jobs and careers of all types, both legit and illegal ones, that you can dive into. Each job you take has its own progression path which will see you rising up in ranks if you do your job well.The game even offers players their own virtual homes to decorate as they wish. Players can do a lot of stuff at home as well, such as crafting, growing plants, creating goods to be sold to other players and more. In fact, if you've the business acumen, you can set up a small enterprise and grow it into a huge corporation, especially considering that almost everything in the game can be designed and created by players.
In some way, Identity feels like a game that attempts to combine the fun of MMORPGs with a massive, sandbox-like virtual world with the likes of Second Life or IMVU. So, if this sounds like what you'd enjoy in a game, then you should definitely check it out.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of the most highly acclaimed games of the decade, putting it on par with the success that more current games have managed to enjoy - The Witcher 3, for example. The game puts you into the role of the dragonborn, a hero who is able to defeat dragons on an equal footing due to the powers he/she is able to tap into. The game has plenty of depth when it comes to its lore, factions, and of course, the game map where you basically can explore anywhere you like as long as you can find a way to reach it. Of course, all of that brilliant gameplay and environment is well-packaged with breathtaking graphics and iconic musical scores that many still praise to this day.Granted that the game has plenty of annoying bugs that persist until today, it is not surprising for Skyrim to have over 200 Game of the Year Awards mainly because the game just blows everyone's minds when it first came out. After all, it literally redefined the open world genre. Not to mention, even with the hundreds of hours of original content to enjoy, the game has a thriving modding community that lets you eke out hundreds more hours from Skyrim.
