MODERATORS
They still average about 6 years per major release... Fallout 4 came in 2015, and if you don't count Fallout 76 as a major release, that was only 8 years ago, right in line with the dev time they've pretty much always had.
Honestly all I see with starfield that failed to meet expectations are one good and one bad:
Good: The performance and stability are actually good for once. This was unexpected, but welcome.
Bad: The writing and story are boring, bland, generic, and uninteresting. This wasn't expected because usually this stuff is at least semi-decent. There's usually something that at least has a cool basis. Starfield doesn't. It's all references and tropes and nothing particularly interesting or unique. It's hard to even be motivated to wanna shoot bad guys beyond "well, they're the bad guys and I am here to shoot 🤷🏻♂️."
