I love this game. It gets plenty of hate for the matchmaking issues on PC (valid), Gacha mechanics (valid), and the slower, heavier movement. As far as the issues with the PC port versus the PS4 release, I've played on PC recently and they do seem to be working on them. Hopefully they make some good progress and the backlash doesn't kill the game. The Gacha mechanics could definitely be a cash drain for the impatient but I didn't mind it as the free drops are frequent and everything can be earned through playing the game. As far as the heavy, slower feel of the game, I think it adds a tremendous sense weight that feels more realistic than many of the Gundam games I've played before and since. This, coupled with the ability to exit the Mobile Suit, distract opponents using extra stage vehicles, plant a bomb at the enemy base, or even steal an opponent's Mobile Suit when the opportunity arises, adds a sense of scale and a lot of exciting strategy and intensity to the game.

Give it a try before you write it off as a failure. It's not for everyone but it's one of my favorite online games. They did something different in a time when the typical Battle Royale and FPS game formulas have stopped being fun for me.
