After seeing the E3 game footage, I am very willin to wait to play this game. It looks absolutely fantastic, and looks to increase the standard of immersion for the FPS genre the moment it's released. I mean, just the idea of having a free-reign complex to explore in order to solve missions, side-quests, get better and more unique weapons and items, and having a "living world" that inhabits the area around the complex sounds like the absolutely perfect FPS game.

If GSC can succeed, and from the footage I've seen, they would have to go blatently out of their way to ruin everything about the game, this game should show the world what a game with good graphics and good gameplay can really be like. None of the half-assed gameplay of Half-Life 2 and DOOM 3 (I liked DOOM 3, but it still should've been better, but HL2 was a total disappointment for me).

People bitch about delays so much, but then, when the game finally comes out people will be saying "Wow, this is totally worth the delays." I can understand bitterness towards delays, but if people really didn't "care about the game," why bother even commenting on the delay?
