I didn't love fallout 4, but it clearly had a lot of work put into it, and a lot of people really did like it. It wasn't that far off from what I wanted it to be.
I do think 76 was a misstep, but I don't think it was a metal gear survive level disaster of an idea. It's not like nobody asked for co-op fallout, and a lot of games with similar core ideas around that time were pretty successful. It's just not what I'm interested in and not something they have experience with, and they made some bad decisions.
Starfield is going back to what they do best, which is a single player game with a massive world and complexity from top to bottom. I'm extremely hopeful. Obviously until it releases, we don't know, but that 45 minute direct looked damn good. I just wanted Skyrim/fallout with modern gunplay and in space, but "you can be a space pirate" means it might capture the need I've had since Assassin's Creed Black Flag for the first time, too. It really does look truly expansive, though.
I also absolutely want Elder Scrolls 6, but this looks like there's a good chance it will justify the wait.
