Are we all being a bit too optimistic?

I'm sure there's people that would like more of an arcade experience, there's some that want more of a simulator feel, there's some that want to recapture the fun they have on the tabletop game. I just don't know if the game can possibly meet everyone's expectations.
What of MWO turns out to be World of Tanks with mechs? Ugh...
My point is, maybe we should tone down the enthusiasm a bit. It's great to be excited and I bet it pumps up the developers to see it, but you need to have a reality check and remember the game likely isn't going to be exactly what you want. With this much excitement, when the game comes out and doesn't meet some peoples every expectation, they're going to feel betrayed and turn on the game and start flaming the boards. I don't look forward to that day...

Everyone is already sure, this is not WoT with mechs, we will not get every dream true and this will be the best mecha game in a looooong time.

Furthermore, what you said is accurate, you can't please everyone.
I loved MW2.
I liked MW3
I loved MC
I really disliked MW4
I disliked MC2
I actually liked both MA games
It all comes down to the gameplay mechanics. Despite starting from a common ground (BT and the board game), the games have all been different, and this one won't be an exception.

I guess it doesn't hurt to have hope. Hopes can be dashed, and you're free to be as optimistic or pessimistic about the game until it comes out. At that time if you try it and don't like it, cest la vie. You might want to give it a little time for the community to fire back feedback to the devs and see if they make changes along the lines of what you want, but if after a couple months of settling in, you're just not a fan of what you're playing, it won't have cost you a thing sans your time.
And if you DO love it, let the devs know by buying stuff in the store or hiring Paul for housecleaning (100% of those profits go to PGI).

There will be 8 mech games out by the end of 2012.
If you can't find one of those that fits what you're looking for...it probably doesn't exist.
MW:O may not be your cup of tea, eject and head over to MW:L or MW:T, or AC5, or Hawken, or RoT or ...well..you get my drift.
it's the Year of the Mech!

MechWarrior Living Legends - really it should be MW:L2 or MW:L2 which is much more awesome.

that is enough for me, cause this is F2P, that means they will be fine tuning the game every single week of its life. To me that means they will be trying to make it better, not dumping it on the market and walking away. \

No one knows the studio's intentions. It might even go p2w at some point when it does not make enough cash.

Wait, I want a Mechwarrior game. Unless they suddenly change IPs and use something like Gobots or Robotix instead of Mechwarrior then I'm pretty sure that the game is exactly the game that I want.

For me, I'm way optimistic. I haven't played a BT game since Mechwarrior Mercenaries. I'm stoked about the whole concept here. If there is one thing I fret over its my old favorite unseens not appearing. But that's not a deal breaker. Just a dose of reality.

As I keep saying... This is a MechWarrior game for MechWarriors by MechWarriors
