  1. I really think it depends on what you wanna do when playing and how you want it to look. If you want to stream and play games in 1080p or even 1440p then you can run most games on ultra with a gtx 1080. If you want Streaming games while playing games in 4k, you have the required connection, and you have the pockets to match your tastes. A 1080ti (maybe even x2 in SLI) will suit your needs. I have a 1080 SC, i7-7700k @4.2Ghz, 16 GB DDR4 @2400MHz, 480Gb SSD, 2TB HDD, Asus Z270 Mobo. I got a 4k monitor, but be careful when shopping for monitors. There are two technologies called Free-Sync and G-sync and they are to help with Syncing your GPU and monitor for a smoother picture. G-Sync only works with GTX or NVidia graphics cards. Free-Sync only works with AMD graphics cards. Make sure no matter what you do. You get what makes YOU happy. I am glad I spent as much as I did. I have a good powerful PC and my games look amazing. 4K gaming awesome. Games look like movies now and I'll rarely go back to console, except for those exclusives you can't get on PC. 

    I really think that as in depth, and massive, especially now with SpatialOS. Identity is gonna require a hefty system is you want to experience it, in all it's pc awesomeness. I can't run every game I have at full ultra settings with 4k. I have some games when I run them in 4k I can only get  45-50 which is more than enough, but 60 is just crisper. So I've been told a 1080ti will have that 11GB GDDR5 memory needed to give me the extra FPS needed. So eventually I'll sell my 1080 SC and get 2 1080ti in SLI then you'll be future proof for quite awhile. But if your coming to PC from console get a PC worth getting, IMO it makes no sense to get a low end pc cause I'm pretty sure 4k consoles run better games, than low end pc's. I played on console till I had enough to get the type of PC I wanted. It took me a long LONG time, but I finally got here. And oh, is it beautiful.

    No body can answer that because the Dev's refuse to communicate with the community.

    What are you talking about?! LOL They have DISCUSSED this multiple times in different Q&A's on YouTube, Discord, and other places. Instead of making silly accusations, that are quite untrue, maybe you should do a little checking around the internet. Even on this forum here, as I'm sure it's been discussed, probably as much as the infamous "Will it be on console?" posts that kept popping up. If you own your own farm land then you can grow your own drugs, or you can find a plot, big enough in the wilderness, and hope no one comes along to take your stash while you wait for it to grow. There will be ways of making Meth in a mobile home or something in that sense, you have to park while your cookin' it up though.

    Can't be moving around the map and cooking Meth, unfortunately. I'm sure there will be ways of making all kinds of drugs. As far as HOW you make money, with your drugs after you get them ready for sale. They haven't delved too much into detail on anything yet. But I'd imagine you have to harvest your crop, process it to a marketable form, then make you illegal sale. But like any illegal activity, there will be law enforcement out there that can ruin your venture, and poop on your plan. There is a twitch channel that they have and do go on constantly, I'm sure they'll humor questions there as well. All we can do is hope that things come together smoothly.

  3. I believe it was @Paratus who said in one of his videos, that you can watch TV in your home and you could see people streaming Identity or listen to the radio and get real internet radio stations... I haven't heard anything since to tell us that has changed. I think that streamers will start to want money from every game they help. They are helping themselves already Plus, having thousands of viewers, isn't that like a symbiotic relationship between games and gamers, that both benefit from? If something were done, it should be a case by case thing.


  4. I would say to explore Identity every way you can. Try as many different paths as you can, is what I'd say is best. Soak all this awesome in. Cause Identity will be awesome. I am gonna play the hell out Identity when they release the modules and then the beta and game. I wanna check out every aspect I can possibly get into.

    Hell, all these games I bought in the last 3 months, and my PC, because I HAD to get in on Identity. So I have @Motown @Paratus, and Asylum to thank for giving me the incentive to make the jump to PC, and Loving every minute as I wait for modules then the game to release.

  5. Honestly, I don't get we keep saying, it's too early for there to be any specs, and then in the same breath, if you can run GTA V, Arma, Or Ark...We should be fine. Why not just spit out the specs required for those games, or maybe someone with knowledge on different spec requirements, give us an example list.

    For example minimum, recommended, and optimal specs. I know they haven't stated what the specs will be but, an actual example might help alot of ppl. I was one of those people that jumped on to PC just to be able to play Identity. When ur looking to buy a PC,  "if you can run GTA V , Arma 3....you'll be fine" Ok what runs those games, and what level of grapical awesomeness would you like to experience.

    We get all these other speculations about the game. Modules were supposed to released, pushed back so more ppl can play on servers.  Other things have changed as well. So why can't we get a spec requirement, with the notification,and that it may change in the future. I went way above my means to get a PC to be able to handle this game. It might help other people narrow down what they are looking for.

    Some people want optimal requirements not recommended or minimum. I'm honestly wondering what this games minimum, recommended and optimal specs will actually be. I jumped to PC because I want as much PC goodness as I can get. I play most of my games on 4k with ultra to high settings. BeamNG.Drive has some simulation like car physics, which Identity will also have on a more massive scale.

    Now I put like maybe 12 cars on the same level. JUST 12 and my frame rates dropped crazy low, way below anything that could be enjoyed if you had to play that way. This is just a desert map with highways and some foilage, and not much in the way of buildings. In other words, no where near there scale and detail Identity is supposed to encompass.

    So I can run GTA V, online in 4k at 60fps even while streaming, With the one gpu. But 12 cars offline and BeamNG looks like a slide show preview of stills, instead of a game. Are we really sure about a pc being able to play GTA V and Arma 3, also being able to handle Identity. This is not to start a debate, but to get a better idea of what kinda pc specs will be needed for playing Identity at minimum, recommended, and optimal specs.

    I have told ppl myself, that they haven't released specs yet... but it would be nice to give people a more accurate idea atleast until the devs release solid spec recommendations. Being one who was asking that very same question, and didn't find "if you can run gta v, Arma 3, and Ark", very helpful. As I didn't know what specs were required to play those games at the performance I wanted.


  6. I was actually just thinking about this exact same thing, I want to design funny T-shirts.  And what's to stop someone else from just taking my designs and selling it like their own? We are gonna have lawyers, judges, and juries right...? So why not have trademarks, so we can sue if someone tries to use our stuff and doesn't have the rights to. To not give us the proper royalties for our designs just takes away alot of motivation to really put our heart into something if people can just steal it.

     

    That could also open up the economy to the Identity "Black Market", maybe we can come up with a better name. I think this will reinforce people's faith that they will be the ones to legally profit from their idea's, only giving us more incentive to really put our hearts into making something personally unique. I think it should be an IN-GAME tradmarking system ONLY. That would in NO way affect Asylum in the real world. Criminals making fake paintings, and other items to try and swindle people, Or bootleg clothes lol. The possibilities are endless

  7. Legal activities is different, I was talking about his example of illegal activities. So to recap... I'm ONLY referring to the contracts of "illegal activities", when I say it's up to the 2 parties, whom entered into said contract, over said illegal activities, to sort out compensation. Law enforcement will only care about the crime.  Not who owes who, for whatever illegal activities they shouldn't have been involved in, in the 1st place. I highly doubt that you can go to the police or judicial system, for mediation over illegal activities. 


  8. The drug sale was what i used as an example...why do ppl have to roam the forums looking to correct ppl. Any "illegal activities"...corporate espionage is WORSE than a drug dealer doin it. That's like a hitman kills your wife and you don't pay him...so he goes to the cops and says " I killed this guyxs wife and he didn't pay me." The cops aren't coming to make you settle up...I can guarantee you that


  9. Just throwing this out there...generally when 2 ppl enter into an agreement over "illegal activities" It's up to the 2 parties to come to a resolution. Because if a drug dealer goes up to a cop and says, this guys just took the bag and didn't pay for it...The last thing they'll will be worried about, is making sure anyone is compensated, as they will be about making sure 2 ppl are arrested. Then you can figure out compensation later, on your own time.


  10. I'm pretty sure there wont be kids getting killed on Identity, and If u have it there's gonna be alot of controversy over it. As far as sex, I would prefer not having Identity become like 2nd Life Porn. Too many of the wrong ppl will focus on such things, like running over kids with cars, and what if ppl try making kids have sex...I think they don't even wanna give those ppl a chance to get started with the derogatory YouTube Videos. Once I heard about Identity, I heard about 2nd Life as well...It took me over a half hour to find actual gameplay of 2nd Life, and not porn with a 2 1/2 foot cartoon schlong.


  11. I did some more checking and it sounds kinda cool. It might have some potential if it's done right. It's like those 2 movies with Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Randy Ortin. The Condemned. Your prisoners and you fight in an "open world" arena, and you can get sponsors, and bets are placed on who is gonna survive ,kinda situation. If you win you get ur freedom. That's y they say "open world" with the prison aspect. 


  12. My only beef, is that it went from a module release in Q1 in 2017, that I know was NOT set in stone but, it meant getting hands on experience with a piece of Identity! Hands on gameplay I can actually start to stream and upload videos to YouTube. To a teaser email, with nothing any more definitive than it's been already...Was really looking forward to playing in the town square...Now I'm back to scraping around for any bit of info I can find lol...not even a more definitive release schedule? Even for the modules?I have to play identity! Throw us a bone fellas...Can't we get ANYTHING to play with or something new and exciting to check out...I don't understand computers and developing so I can't make any assumptions as to why they need to postpone the 1st module, for SpatialOS. Would it be impossible to release the town square module, as they work on SpatialOS and the other new and exciting things? I will leave it up to their capable hands and hope we get something definitive soon...very soon hopefully as I'm dying over here and I have no more cash for any other games than what I got for a while lol.


  13. I said I was playing Devil's Advocate, read ALL of the post not just skim thru please, I never said anyone said I couldn't feel worried, and I wasn't really worried. Damn right I'm worried  was me playing Devil's Advocate. Hence why I said I understand how they feel. From a, never having done anything like this before, I was skeptical. Before I researched, then after what I found I decided it was worth it, and no longer worried or I wouldnt have pledged and bought a PC...

    They dont have at time line because things change as pointed out before, and if you delay dates that people already know about you get a bunch of salty pricks instead of supporters. 15 hours ago, paratus stated that theres going to be a notice about the delay, clearing up any issues, why theres a delay and what it means for identity. You say all the points are pretty valid, then you point out one of the main points as if you didnt read them, and still ask why theres no eta. lol show me where a dev answered in a FAQ ' i estimate, i think it will come, or i have no clue..

     

     

    No one has ever said you havent got a right to be worried, its how people go about it, by slandering the team and their work stating its a scam and stupid bullshit like that, as the devs have already stated " if you think its a scam, please don't purchase any pledge tiers until you believe otherwise, wait till something more solid comes out" but what do people do? still buy pledge rewards then call scam, or just slander because they can.

     

    I could swear your just reiterating what I already said. I never said, anyone said I didn't have a right to be worried, or that I WAS even worried. I was playing Devil's Advocate. I think it's a bit presumptuous for someone who only throws 30, bare minimum for beta access, and then act like they are a full share investor, asking Bernie Madoff for their money back. It HAS to be a SCAM...I think it's also a bit presumptuous to assume it's a scam. Great Ideas/games never see the light of day all the time. They weren't scams, things just fell thru...I KNEW that Identity was an investment, and one that might not ever get off the ground. But I very well think it's worth it, as pretty much all people, here in the 1st place, do. I'm patiently waiting, as are the others who threw down more than bare minimum...so I think people should exercise more empathy. I'm not in any way saying anyone is more important cause they threw down a certain amount. what I AM saying is that I understand that people threw down THOUSANDS to help Identity, so who am I, with my pledge to complain. I can only imagine how much they(The Devs) are putting into this...It's THEIR dream 1st, WE are just Johnny come-lately's. PEACE BE UNTO YOU MY BROTHERS


  15. I haven't played Mass Effect Andromeda release, I'm playing on the 10 hour trial you get for being an origin subscriber. I have it on 4K, no issues whatsoever, as far as the graphics, they look amazing in my opinion. What problems are you having with the graphics? I did have one tear about 2/3 of the way up the screen, but turned on V-Sync (not to be confused with Free-Sync or G-Sync). And it's crystal clear. I haven't experienced anything in my first few hours that would even constitute a bad experience. My experience with EA is they are Hit-n-Miss. Where are you getting problems? So I know to keep an eye out for issues.


  16. I've noticed that some people are starting to get paranoid. Ppl are allowed to feel how they feel, and no one really has the right, to tell them otherwise. I know exactly how you feel. When I seen the previews of Identity, and did a lil bit of checking, I decided to make the jump to PC from console BECAUSE of Identity. I'm already playing other games on pc tho, as Identity was the main reason, but not the only reason. I went out, and got a computer I can't afford, pledged money($250) I didn't have.  All because I'm that excited to do whatever I can to help it become a reality. I've never done this before, and your damn right I'm worried...Anyone who puts money into something to help make it become real, and never see it get there is disappointing. We also have the right as "investors" to voice our worries.

    But there is a right way to do that and a wrong way. Don't forget that it's an investment though, and sometimes they don't work out the way you want it to. You think any of us, put together and multiplied, could possibly be more depressed, Than the guys who put their blood, sweat, and tears into creating something from scratch.? Ask ppl for help bringing this idea to life(kickstarter), And have things fall apart, and it not come to fruition. You think our donations measure up to anything compared to what the Devs have put into Identity. Delays are inevitable, look at GTA V. That game was plagued with problems. STILL has problems. But I'm certain it's not a scam, or I wouldn't have pledged, and got a custom game rig for when it released lol. NO ONE is saying it's NEVER coming.

    It was never etched in stone when it was gonna be released. And this is why they don't wanna give ppl answers before they have a solid, definitive answer. Anytime you pledge to a game, it's a calculated risk, as is ANY investment. YOU can either be patient and see where it goes, or write it off, it's your choice. But please remember your not the only person to put money into Identity. I'm sure the people who have put way more than us, into Identity, aren't freaking out every month, thinking it's a scam. Patience my friends, we will be looking back when we are enjoying the fruits of our spoils, and thinking how glad we are we waited a lil extra time to have things more complete, to have the best possible experience. Because trust me if they rush it out for the complainers, THEN you're all gonna be pissed the game is all buggy and don't wanna work right. I've seen plenty of games on Steam, since I got here, that fit that bill.

  17. Will we be able to get away with crimes? I mean it makes no sense to be a criminal if you can't actually get away with stuff. If I shoot someone with a unregistered illegal weapon, and am wearing gloves and a mask, shouldn't that mean cops have to actually oh, I don't know... investigate. Why wear gloves and a mask or even commit a crime if you automatically are flagged as having just committed this crime. What's the point of being a cop? I want to investigate if I'm a detective. Have they stated definitively how it's gonna be? Will criminals just be flagged automatically and not have to do any actual police work to find them. I mean if criminals don't prepare, and just go in guns blazing, no masks or gloves, then police should see video of their face and/or fingerprints all over. If a group actually prepares, and executes a proper heist, I think it's only fair the police should have to do equal amount of work to apprehend them and not just see a marker over their head. Cops can't look at people and tell who is what, they have to investigate some.  


  18. Oh jesus I'm just busting chops, don't get ur panties all twisted.  Personally, I don't particularly care what other ppl drive. People want to drive nice 4 bangers, that's your perogative, It don't bother me none. Learn to take a joke...
