>You have one side who want a game about controlling a giant robot to be fast, fluid, and basically control exactly like a 50ft tall Raiden doing ninja flips and ignoring all laws of physics
This side is way, way bigger than the other side, and it's always closer to how mechs are presented in animation and novels. They're supposed to be at least somewhat fast and fluid, it's the point of controlling a giant with limbs. People who just want them to be tanks just want fantasy tanks and don't really like mecha.

In fact you can go pretty far with critiquing that, people even in this thread are crying "it's just a shooter!", have you seen how mechs move? They move like a shooter. The gundam leaps and dodges and then shoots a guy. A game based on that shouldn't be about awkwardly stumbling about trying to point in the correct direction so you can fire while A posing at them.
