It is quite frustrating that they allowed the game to go ahead, knowing the brand damage it could cause. At the very least they should have delayed it by a year to add the content fans expect from a Fallout game.
However...
Seeing how well ZOS has turned ESO around, which was also revealed and launched in a state absolutely no-one wanted (they were shocked to hear players wanted to play an Elder Scrolls game in first person for example, and had to rush to add that in as an option) gives me hope for 76. It will take at least another year, but there's a possibility this game will be enjoyable one day. The problem with that is... we're right at the end of a console generation. How many people will want to commit to a last gen GaaS title when there will no doubt be a big surge of next gen GaaS titles competing to be the next big thing for the gen ahead? Anthem has exactly the same problem.
Literally what I concluded in the same post you quoted and then cut =P
So far E3 as a whole has been fairly bad. Studios are just showing up to show off the dregs of what they have the left for the current gen. No-one is really ready to show off next gen games. I'm still holding out hope for Ubisoft though. We all know Watch Dogs didn't turn out so great in the end, but I'll never forget the reveal trailer for that game - a gameplay demo of a next gen game when most people were still showing exclusively 360 and PS3 games. I'd love to see something similar from them this year.
