I just hope it's more open-ended than STALKER. If they can beat that, which should be easy, I will be interested. Linear shooters tend to be boring and I like to replay shooters for some reason.

Agreed.  I hate those shooters where they lead you along like an ox by the nosering.  Call of Duty 4 had such wicked graphics, but then they force you to keep sprinting to the next objective w/ no variation.  The Orange Box was such a wicked deal, until you beat it.  Then what's the point of doing it again?  The only replay value is in multiplayer for so many of these games.

I wish there were more FPS action-rpgs out there.  Vampire Bloodlines got me hooked because the storyline was so funny and the whole rpg based off the Halo engine meshed so well with it.  Picking different clans you could play with new powers like gangrel forms, hasted bullet-time celerity, mass insanity dementia attacks, fear effectsm, obfuscating predator style etc.  Hellgate London was alright, but nothing special, and I deleted it for HD space maybe a week into it.

It's the straight up action-rpgs that suck me in though.  Gothic III & Oblivion suck me in like no other game.

Fc2 has open ended envrioments, you can do things alot of ways, go rambo, go sneaky, start a fire to smoke them out.
Can't wait

I'm not worried about open-ended fights, as that is the shooter standard. What I want is to wander around at my own pace, ala Oblivion, and encounter the story the way STALKER promised us.
