It does have flaws, it plays like an action game masquerading as mech game. Yes, when I play a mech game I want tank controls to be the only control scheme. I wanted the mech game roots with AC6 god damnit, I don't want to have to keep relying on PGI to keep making mechwarrior titles because that seems to be the only place I can get the mech game feel (beyond playing the older mechwarrior and armored core titles again which I've done so again and again.)
Don't get me wrong here, as an action game it's simply okay nothing ground breaking. But if judged as a mech game, AC6 is pretty far down in the dredges of awfulness.
