Same. I tried getting into TES4 but couldn't make it past half the game because I found it too boring and watered down compared to Morrowind.
In FO4 I made it past the beginning area before I got bored and quit.
I already know that TES6 & FO5 will be yet another Loot Hoarder Sim with a "You are the chosen one" Story and MMO-Tier Quests.
They've been making bad Morrowind clones for 2 decades now with no end in sight, and that's how they'll probably die lol.
Lol, FO4 kind of replaced Skyrim in that regard since it's literally just the Skyrim build of Gamebryo with a facelift and some improvements.
They wanted Starfield to be the next big sandbox game engine, but nobody wants Oblivion in Space.
The only big-Name Game I have any amount of faith in is HL3, although I don't expect much.
I'm assuming you're referring to Epistle 3 by Laidlaw? In what way is HL:A based on that? I thought HL:A takes place before HL2 (minus the ending scene).
Personally I've come to terms with the fact that we'll probably never get a proper continuation of EP2 years ago. Like I said, I don't expect much from Valve at this point.
If the game comes out and it doesn't have bad writing and features interesting and innovative gameplay I'll be pleasantly surprised.
If the game comes out and it not only has interesting gameplay but also continues to follow the Story that EP2 set up I'll be very pleasantly surprised.
If the game comes out and it's overall OK but they retcon a bunch of stuff and make it so Aperture and the Borealis are no longer relevant, or worse, abandon the storyline for something completely different, then it's time to forget and play some more indie games! :)
Right now I'm mostly interested in what their current Half-Life Project even looks like.
That's what I'm expecting, why else would they suddenly decide to change the EP2 ending after 13 years.
I agree, I'd rather them conclude the Story HL2 has set up ASAP and see something completely new.
