After 5 years in development, S.T.A.L.K.E.R has finally gone gold. It'll be out at the end of the month in Europe, not sure about the US.

It's more or less Fallout in FPS-Adventure form. According to videos and interviews it plays like Oblivion in terms of missions/quests and open ended gameplay. Multiplayer is also there, but I'm not sure if they cut out the co-op part that was in the original design.

Here is a gameplay video, but it's in German I think.

Yeah, it is German. It is from the biggest German PC-games mag.

They are full of praise for STALKER, and I am willing to believe them.

Well I'm definately buying it, Tarq. Not sure if I'll get the collectors edition. It depends what they include in it.

Wasn't STALKER development handed over to a completely different team some months ago? I wonder how it's going to turn out.

I'd be happy to do this for anyone who wants it, but only if the US release is going to be horribly delayed. You're looking at a weeks wait while it ships from me to you anyway.

OMG I have been waiting for this game for years! The one big drawing point for me was the c-op though... I hope they left it in :X

I want to team up with Mortious. The grenade slipped, I swears.

They didn't leave it in, but there's hope of it being added in as a later patch.

Reviews are good, though people say the localization sucks.

No. The publisher just send some sort of enforcer-manager to kick the team's collective asses so that they will stop slacking off and start working on something that can be released.
