Big stompy robot action that is not a lobby shooter. I'll admit I sometimes switch back to Battletech, when the bugs/UI quirks get to me, but Battletech has also been releasing updates and DLC's for a good bit now.
Expect Mods to be a big factor once they are made available. Most negative UI traits will probably be fixed with mods. Might be viewed as a con, but personally it's the reason I play pc games over console games.
I buy a base game, then install Mods until it's as close to the game I think it should be.
