Edit: GOLD.
November 16th. About fucking time. The only thing that makes me happy about this is that Vampire: Bloodlines can finally be shipped. Wooha! |

Why the fuck do I have to remind people of this. IT'S THE SLEEPER SHOOTERS THAT SHOCK AND AWE, THE SLEEPER SHOOTERS! STALKER might be the next sleeper shooter. Semi-RPGish/Morrowind-ish in a modern FPS world. Based loosely on The 1979 Russian movie by the same name, it will almost certainly have a sci-fi/fantasy twist. |

I was a bit upset when they cut co-op out of it though. |
Wiiiiii!

Stalker is actually based on the movie? Hmmm...I'll believe that when I see it. They may SAY THAT but there's just no way.

True, STALKER has been pimped alot, over time. But I don't think alot of people have caught on to the potential unique gameplay it might end up having. Strangely enough, at one point, the devs did not even seem to have a firm grasp on how to get the gameplay to work.
And it is supposedly based loosely(keyword: loosely) on the movie. I think that this aspect is fairly guarded, due to wanting to keep the game's story fresh. I hope that means that the game possibly plays a bit different each time it is played through completely. They have also gone to great lengths to recreate some of the looks that the film had. Hopefully I am not reading to much into things said in the past.

I don't dare get my hopes up. It could be really awesome, or it could crash and burn spectacularly. |

Wiiiiii!

Ok, so I'm a sucker for having the original box, documentation and all the other goodies that come from a retail product - I collect them. But here I am faced with the Collector's edition that comes on a DVD, unfortunately, I don't have a DVD-ROM drive. So if I want to get a boxed copy not only do I have to spend $80 on the game itself, but I've got to buy a DVD drive. Fortunately, those can be had for around $25-35 dollars now.
So do I feed my desire for boxed originals or go with the Steam version? What are you all planning on doing?
Edit:
Soukyan brings up a good point that Vampire: Bloodlines can now be shipped - that was something that I hadn't thought of, so this news is twice as good. Is Vampires: Bloodlines even finished? I haven't been keeping up on its development.

I'm buying the box when it hits store shelves. I may preorder to get the silver version. The only way I'll get the $90 one is if the hat is really really fucking cool.
I actually wouldn't even get the game if I could find my original Half Life 1 key. Found the cd, just need to find the manual.
Meh, I'd like to play through HL1 with the source engine though. I really hated the original engine. It ruined all the great multiplayer mods that came out for it for me.
...
Vampire: Bloodlines comes out the same day as Halo 2. Now that's a pain in the ass. I was looking forward to playing Halo 2 MP with the guys at the office and now that I know Bloodlines is coming out, I'm unhappy....to say the least.
