    Game feels really UNFINISHED.
    Very limited roster of characters.
    Singleplayer was done in a lazy way, with BADLY drawn comic strips instead of cutscenes. Very SHORT story mode - finished the whole thing in about 1.5 - 2 hours. After that you can only play online... but you can't really play online because of potato servers (35 mins trying to find me a match with all filters off).    Game feels really UNFINISHED.

    * No D-input devices support. If your controller is not X360/XOne you'll have to work around with joy2key and binding buttons to keyboard keys
    * No Steam UI support (cannot invite or join game, very clunky and slow to navigate ingame menus have to be used instead)
    * Menus/load screens (such as characters facing off before match) may drop to 30 fps even if your rig can run the match at stable 60. Game speed is relative to framerate, so if it drops to 30 you'll experience slow motion. This occurs on PCs that match recommended specs
    * Console crossplay is nigh impossible (tested PC to PC - 10/10 connection, PC - PS4 on the same connection - unplayable)
    * Invites to player lobbies often outright do not work (no response or "lobby does not exist" message)

    Aside from that general issues:
    * Barely any SP content
    * No option to decline matches (if you get paired with someone who lags you just have to suck it up and play even though you know you won't enjoy the match)
    * Characters models are detailed, but very unpolished (horrible hair clippings, even on character select screen and numerous cloth physics errors)

    This game has been rushed so that this year's Capcom Pro Tour season can be played only in SFV. If you do not want to participate in the tournaments DO NOT BUY.    … Expand

    The lack of single player content and the issues with multiplayer servers pushes SFV launch to abyss. There are few good things to praise: graphics are gougeous, the BGM is more than ok, and for the new and returning fighters Necalli and Nash are ok. Thats it: SFV is not complete and CAPCOM shouldn´t charge full price in te game at its current state.

    Super Street Fighter V is yet another entry in a disturbing trend of incomplete AAA games. If Capcom was trying to get the game out in time for EVO, etc. Fine.

This game was certainly not worth $60 for the state it was in at launch. At the very least be up front and transparent that there is no arcade mode. Jim Sterling coined the term Early AAAccess. Its an apt description for what SSFV contained at launch.

    There was no arcade mode (A series staple) at launch. The story mode what little there is consisted of poorly drawn graphic novel like stills that can be completed in a few short minutes. The game also lacks a proper training mode, no vs. AI, among other issues like connectivity. Not to mention that the playable roster of characters at 16 seems a bit anemic compared to rosters of other games of the genre.

    There are a number of people who might try to defend this game saying its made for the competitive players. I feel this is an excuse that just doesn't fly. You are paying more for less.

    The truth of the matter is that the people who grew up with SSF playing its story mode and arcade are the people who were Capcom's bread and butter. Its those fans who have passionately loved the series for so long that have made it a premier fighting game. There was no online back then. Capcom have slapped the fans of SSF in the face. Its a damned shame too because the game plays well; but its high price for lacking content is too much to ignore.

    Server stability seems better now. However Capcom themselves admitted it was rushed. Hopefully they continue to improve on what is there. Hopefully they won't repeat the same mistake they made with the release of this game. Hopefully they realize that the casuals are just as important for the health of a fighting game as the professionals.    … Expand

    I'm only scoring it higher than zero because of mods support, which makes the game interesting while we wait for Capcoms turn.
    Alas, the very fact I had to play this on PC is a good reason for not getting my mouse near the green bar: how do you make a Street Fighter console X or Y exclusive? Damn you, Capcom!

That's why you don't trust anything a paid reviewer says - it's beggars belief that there's not ONE negative review for this title.

    Street Fighter V is an unfinished, unpolished mess. It has less content than Super Street Fighter 2 - on the Super Nintendo! That's right, a game 22 years older than this crap is not only more packed in content, but has infinitely more charm, depth and has the better gameplay too.

    Saying this is barebones is an injustice to that term. Very few characters with no single-player story mode to speak of - oh, and that isn't hyperbole by the way, there IS no single-player here. Oh, they'll say that the ridiculous three fight narrative interspersed with terrible comic strips is a "story", but no, it isn't. This has been rushed out the door so tournament players can give them free advertising with the multiplayer, but even THAT backfired as the servers are absolutely last and it launched with support for only TWO players (and even they won't get into the servers for a match 75% of the time). Oh, did I mention this is effectively an always online game too? Because of course it is.

    Not only that, but somehow they made this version worse than the PS4 one! I know, I've played them both - they're both terrible, but this version takes the proverbial piss with how bad a port it is. Get this - NO full key rebinding support. In a supposed tournament fighter. On the PC. Wow. I mean, you can rebind, but it's limited, and it displays it's bad port to the PC proudly by assuming you're rebinding a controller at every turn.

    But it's a Street Fighter game, right? So that means loads of colourful characters? No. No, no, no. Sixteen. Yes, sixteen. WTF. Four of which brand new by the way, and dull as hell. But surely they're going to release loads in the coming month, right? Well, if SIX is classed as loads to you, then yeah! So yes, this fighting game in 2016 released with fewer characters than the game made in the same series in 1994.

    I don't think I've ever been shocked by a full priced retail release by a AAA company than I have by this. This is not only unfinished; this is a pre-Alpha game. A proof of concept, nothing more. To have the nerve to release this in its' current state is absolutely incredible.

    2/10 for what are acceptable graphics (albeit overly big character models on occasion and a 'lively' animation style that makes it confusing to discern what's actually going on at close quarters with some characters) and for the combat being somewhat polished. But that's it.

    As bad as Mortal Kombat X was (and yes, that was bad), this is worse, as at least MKX had a semblance of bloody content!

    And seriously, those critic reviews. Jesus tapdancing Christ.    … Expand

Capcom's seasonal release DLC characters/stages/costumes/colours/everything **** else is yet another money grab from publishers to sap as much as they possibly can without any give or support to the player or community (excluding the capcom pro tour).

    The game offers the player very little in terms of any solo-play features; favoring multi-player in every possible way, even the character story mode and free DLC story really just accentuates the money grabbing repugnance of DLCs characters and the sheer lack abd idiocy of the base characters by making you play them very briefly in a headbangingly generic story filled with very little.. ANYTHING. The only thing that can making the pain in your forehead worse from bashing your head off the closest thing in sight is the lack of an Arcade Mode. Replaced with the utter atrocity that is Survival Mode - a mode so infuriating and boring that every character you do this with you end up hating more and more after every victory.

    Even character exclusion and appeal to an newer community can be excused; however there is no way to justify paying 1/10th of game's value just for one character (without any of the alternative costumes; that if you would like to get, you either are forced to pay for it or forced to grind for hours just to get). Or even 1/3rd of the games base price just for one season's pass, meaning that with the release of every season you will need to buy another season pass topping the value that you are spending on this inadequacy of a game to ridiculous levels (and don't even get me started on alternative colours).

    My aspirations for this game were cut short with the release of Season's Two Akuma and changes to Ryu as the multi-player feel that every second player has watched the same tutorial on how to play the game. If the sudden realisation that this is only going to get worse, haven't hit, the sour taste in your mouth after another 6 seasons of spending money on characters just to play a game that should have been available on day one release should.

    Ah! And most importantly, once you paid for the game.

    In a more recent, better past, since the online mode in video consoles was implemented, we have encountered with games that go on incomplete sale and you have to pay either for new maps, characters, items, dlc, pass seasonal, etc ...

    In the end no longer pay 60 ~ 70 €, but you pay double or triple for the same game if you want it all unlocked.

    It is a shame to see in which direction moves lately AAA game developers.

    Why an arcade game, not including arcade mode?
    Players like me who hate online, do we? Enter and play in practice mode?
    But wait, for those who do enjoy online, this is unplayable.

    So we paid for a game where the online fails
    and single player mode does not exist.

    And, on the technical side, I find:

    - Missing several super attacks of the characters.
    - A list of 16 players where I miss mythical characters of the saga.
    - Graphically it is on par SFIV. I was surprised too little.

    My rating: 1.

    PS: I have disappointed a lot, Capcom.    … Expand

    I am a very hardcore street fighter fan. I have been playing the series since I was thirteen when the World Warriors first came out for the SNES.

I have been playing the series since I was thirteen when the World Warriors first came out for the SNES. I have enjoyed every installment including Street Fighter Alpha. This game is quite a disappointment. Single player is very lacking. Story mode is terrible. The graphics are about the same as Street fighter 4. One of the worst things about the game is the roster of characters. Its terrible. I guarantee that your favorite fighter other than Ken or Ryu, is not here. It almost looks as if they grabbed the worst characters from the series and put them in here. R. Micha? are you kidding me! she is one of the most forgettable characters from the series. I would rather see Dan. Birdie, another terrible character should have never been in a new Street Fighter game where the slots for characters could have been filled by somebody else. The new fighters are lame as well. While they are based on decent ideas, the execution is awful. Fang looked like a good character until I played him and realized the voice acting and the over cell shading make him a joke. The middle eastern character speaks with a lame American accent. The new female from Brazil (They aren't even worth remembering their names) is not interesting at all, not to mention the size of the cartoon breasts are stupid, even for me (I'm usually a fan). And last but not least, the gameplay does not feel like street fighter not to mention a lot of the characters have been heavily altered. M. Bison doesn't play right, has no flaming torpedo. Vega is completely messed up, has rolling inputs instead of charging. It looks like they tried to get rid of spamming, but they did it in the worst, dumbest way possible. To top it off, you are going to have to shell out lots of cash for extra fighters, which aren't ready yet, and it sounds like its more lame characters such as urein. I'm so disappointed with this game. Street fighter Vs. Tekken was more fun than this. Not worth your time or money.… Expand

    *** Un mode histoire ne possédant aucune cinématique, juste des dessins qu'un enfant de CP aurait pu faire pour illustrer de pauvres scénaris bâclés. Vous le terminerez aisément en 1h pour TOUS les persos étant donné qu'une histoire c'est maximum 4 combats très faciles d'un round chacun!
    *** Dans ce mode histoire vous gagnerez de l'argent...Oui mais la boutique pour le dépenser est hors-service pour le moment lol
    *** Un mode survie très facile jusqu'au 29 ou 30ème match où la difficulté augmentera subitement, illogiquement dirais-je même...Si vous l'atteignez, car les déconnexions intempestives du serveur de jeu vous en empêcheront bien souvent!
    Vous devrez donc soit tout recommencer depuis le début, soit jouer en mode hors-ligne mais vous ne gagnerez dans ce cas même pas les pauvres couleurs débloquables!

    A major step back in the progression of fighting games
    -Shallow mechanics
    -The Dlc left holes
    - Ugly graphic
    - Lack of content
    - No links ( this being the worst thing in my op)

    Absolute pile of trash. Unfinished, missing characters and modes. This game has no legs to stand on for the future updates. Capcom is deluded if they think that it will sell. They underestimated the market, and I hope this will be their last time doing it...

    Not only that Capcom have robbed us but they also have the audacity to pit their blatantly obvious trolls against the rightfully bitter gamers. Since almost everyone objective here has already listed the unforgivable lack of content, I'll focus my review on other aspects of the 'game'. And they are not great either.

    1) The gameplay: I'll go against most of the opinions and say that it's    Not only that Capcom have robbed us but they also have the audacity to pit their blatantly obvious trolls against the rightfully bitter gamers. Since almost everyone objective here has already listed the unforgivable lack of content, I'll focus my review on other aspects of the 'game'. And they are not great either.

    1) The gameplay: I'll go against most of the opinions and say that it's nothing to write home about. Without an arcade mode or training against the CPU and considering that the online is basically non-existent, how can anyone in the right mind say that the gameplay is excellent, fantastic, superb, etc? Dude, you haven't even been able to play it properly, little less really sink your teeth into it, yet you dare claiming that it's great?! GTFO! The glorified V Skill is in fact nothing but a simplified version of character's special move/unique attack. I assume that it's not called the special move/unique attack just so that the devs could throw more dust in our eyes. V Trigger, on the other hand, is a novelty while Critical Arts are, basically, just a fancier name for plain old Super Combos, Super Arts, Ultras, whatnot... As far as the balance goes, like I said before, right now there's no way for anybody to say with certainty whether SFV is balanced or broken.

    2) Graphics: Personally, I'm disappointed. Some models, like Ryu, are just wonderful! Every wrinkle in the clothing is carefully implemented, the texture is awesome and, what is most important, the model is, more or less, anatomically correct (in a comic book way). However, Ryu came first of the bunch, and it's pretty obvious that a lot more time and enthusiasm were invested in him than the others. Laura, Zangief and Mika are bad examples. A sloppy, almost amateurish rushed out models, atypical for Japanese work ethics. Hell, the internet is full of fan-art SF 3D models which are waaaaay better than those presented to us in SFV. Laura has, like, enormous hands and feet. I figured by now it's something that guys at Capcom get off on, but come on... Zangief's skin is just too plastic and he also suffers from some bad animations (his head doesn't move during his Leaning Twister animation although Capcom were well informed about this glitch before and during beta). And Mika... *sigh* Mika simply overflows with physical anomalies. **** and ass are nice touch, but the rest is just rubbish. Her partner is the most anatomically flawed model in the game. There is also a number of certain inconsistencies with in-game physics. Oh, and Ken's hair looks like a yellow puke. And make no mistake: regardless of how many patches Capcom releases, these won't be addressed. Models are long rigged and there's no turning back. The best we can hope is they do some shader tweaking, but that won't do much good. Also, the menus, in-game texts and life bars seem like a mere placeholders. With all said, it seems incomprehensible for PC requirements to be as ridiculously high as they are. And don't even get me started on pathetic childish scribbles mistaken for story mode 'art'.

    3) Longevity: To tell the truth, I think that the SFV is about to become a fiasco of epic proportions. Not only that the current game is bare bones (lacking spine), but, by the time everything planned for implementation finds its way into the game, the gaming community will have plenty of time to move on to other titles. Also, bearing in mind the controversy surrounding SFV up until now, probability is that mentioned implementations will be rushed out and, therefore, full of issues thus driving consumers further away from SFV. Some argue that the competitive players will prevail, but I find this scenario hard to believe for two reasons: 1) Competitive players and tournament fighters are far to few to sustain the sales of the game. 2) There cannot be any serious competitive play in current condition of the servers, and the history of fighting games teaches us that the crappy online experience can only became a slightly less crappy, but that's about it.

    To Capcom - you got what you deserved. It is my opinion that the Street Fighter V is dead before it's even born (its 'birth' being a release of this demo version) and that Capcom should slowly start shifting their focus on Street Fighter 6. After all, even entries in the series were always much more successful ones.    … Expand

    Premessa:

    Quindi penso che, nonostante tutto, SFV mi girerà senza problemi (se gira una Beta dopotutto che, teoricamente, è peggio ottimizzata di un gioco completo, giusto?)

    Ebbene acquisto il gioco e..... BAM! La Moviola di Biscardi!
    Tutto questo con gli stessi settaggi che ho sempre usato con la Beta! (dettagli tutto su Alto, Ombre a Medio, e mi HA SEMPRE funzionato per 3 mesi di gioco)

    La Beta su PC mi và da dio, tutto contento acquisto il gioco su PC e...... una moviola!?!?! WTF?

    Provo a ribassare qualche dettaglio....NADA, taglio la testa al toro e imposto tutto al minimo...ARINADA!!

    Cioè ma stiamo Scherzando?

    Avvio la Beta ed è tutto un altro SFV!!! Gioco fluidissimo a 60FPS o quasi, rimetto il gioco acquistato e ricomincia la Moviola di Biscardi!

    Cioè dai, comè possibile che nella Beta ci gioco benissimo, e mentre nella versione finale manco con i dettagli al minimo riesco a giocarci a 60 fps?
    Per cosa? per aver aggiunto un omino e 4 stage in piu? :|:
    Poi oltretutto le opzioni grafiche selezionabili e settate, sono le stesse identiche per entrambe le versioni (sia Beta che Finale).

    Io penso che in parte è """colpa""" (piu mia ovviamente eh) della Capcom che mi ha fatto buttare via soldi.

    Si è vero, i requisiti li aveva dati e sapevo di non rientrarci, ma porca puzzola, se uno vede che la Beta gli gira ottimamente uno cosa dovrebbe fare? cambiare ugualmente i pezzi del PC perchè cè scritto nella confezione, ma a conti fatti li' per li' riesci a giocarci da Dio lo stesso?

    Cosi invece a causa della Beta mi ha indotto all'acquisto quando effettivamente non gira, beh vergogna Capcom grazie della grande ottimizzazione che hai riservato a noi poveri pc-users-peasants-version, prima mi inganni con la Beta che tutto fila liscio e gira perfettamente sul mio tipo di pc (ha 4 gb di Ram) e poi mi rilasci il gioco completo che non è piu ottimizzato per girare sul mio pc.

    Poi oh, Phantom Pain ha requisiti con cui non ci rientro grossomodo peggio di quelli di SFV, eppure ci gioco tutto a dettagli Alti (le solite ombre a Medio), che devo fare ringraziare Konami a questo per aver trattato i pcgamer in maniera equa (aka aver ottimizzato il gioco)?

Capcom should outsource/franchise this game out and see if someone else will do a better job, but I guess they'll have to drive the SF brand into the ground first. Have they seen the competition? Other games are indistinguishable from anime and others are very close to live action movies. It's sad, they have such an iconic brand because of the genius of SFII, but instead of making the most of it, they use that to get away with offering as little value as possible.… Expand

Just because a game series has a big following doesn't mean all the games they release in that series are good. Maybe they are afraid to talk badly about it because the backlash from fanatics or maybe they are afraid to squash a title that is supposed to be the flagship of an entire genre? However this game doesn't deserve a good rating, it doesn't even deserve a mediocre rating. Capcom needs to really hear the complaints and quickly do something about it. It is bad enough that in my opinion they should take a page from Square Enix's book and pull the game and apologize and re-release it only after it is completely overhauled.

    I have read reviews from other players who are a lot stronger players than myself really liking the combat structure. It seems strong to me but I have yet to play enough to see if it is that much better than SF IV or not. Outside of the combat mechanics and the slight bump in the visuals the game falls completely flat. If you are on the competitive scene then this game may be good enough for you as is but if you are not then be prepared to tuck this game away until several months from now with hopefully many more updates.

    I really enjoy the story mode of most fighting games and the Street fighter games have been good about it in the past. I have enjoyed it enough to watch many of the movies and cartoons to learn more about the characters. I was really hoping that Capcom would start to make a more in-depth story mode that could get deeper into the character and possibly give you different paths to choose with different outcomes and different endings. Well sadly instead of a deeper richer story mode we get the most basic garbage thing that they could slap together. They didn't even bother to animate it, its just a slideshow of stills. There is only 3-4 fights per character and they are so simple its not even fun. None of the stories are even interesting enough to bother with anyway. The voice acting is also really horrible, it sounds like they just took some of their own Capcom staff and told them to read the lines in their silliest voices. To top it all off to actually get any of the bonuses for completing these you have to be logged onto the server which I was constantly being dropped from every minute or two.

    As many others have stated it lacks several things like Arcade mode, trials, and difficulty settings. In my opinion it is missing so many things its really an embarrassment to be released like it is. Online battles are extremely basic as well and you can not create multi person rooms or spectate.

    Sadly, I have a feeling, this game won't be to a point that I myself would find it fun to play until the release the next pay for release sometime a ways off. Just like SF IV and every other SF game out there Capcom will release 9 million versions and upgrades and charge each time. With how much content this game is lacking I imagine it wouldn't be ready until its been a long enough time that Capcom feels justified in charging you an extra $30 and releasing it as the next version of SF V. Capcom really needs to give at minimum the first version update free to people who have purchased this near launch because what they would be adding wouldn't really be additional content but what should really have been part of the initial release.    … Expand

    (I hadn't played a game in the series other than 2 yet.)
    and although the game was fun, it was blatantly incomplete.On launch (Not early access.) half the main menu was unavailable because the game wasn't even finished yet, but Capcom was still selling it for a full $60! After two days of ownership, I refunded it, and using the money on steam, I bought ultra street fighter 4, and shogun total war 2.(Both great games btw). I ultimately found myself loving street fighter 4.The gameplay managed to be easy to learn but hard to master, and it had a wide variety of unique, and likable characters. Some time later, when street fighter 5 was on sale I decided to give it another shot.I didn't go into much detail on what was so "incomplete" about the game before, so here's a general list.The character roster was painfully small, with only sixteen characters, this may not seem bad, but ultra street fighter 4 had over thirty, so this was a bit of a disappointment.
    Not to mention only half of them in 5 were the more popular characters in the franchise, so some fan favorites were left out, like Guile.Over time, this game has expanded on that roster, but Ill talk about that later.There was no arcade mode, which has been a series staple since the first installment.
    in verses mode, there was no way fight an AI.And this game clearly has no idea what a PC is.Street fighter 4 was a surprisingly high quality port, it was still best played with a controller, but It put in the effort to assimilate.there were a satisfactory amount of resolutions, and the game even had a benchmark tool to test how good your computer was for the game.Street fighter 5 on the other hand is clueless, you are immediately greeted with a message at the start of the game, to close it, you don't push enter or space or something understandable like that, No, you push b,B! And finally, the game was just Ugly, the color pallet is blindingly bright, making everything look like its made of plastic, and some of the 3-D models are so oddly shaped it's ridiculous, (Ken in particular).
    So, when I bought this game again I hoped at least some of these problems had been fixed, and although the character roster has grown to be roughly half the size of its predecessor, many of the other problems remain, I still can't find a way to fight an AI, arcade mode is still largely absent, and now some of the new characters which were left out (guile in particular) not only still look ugly in this art style, but have been redesigned to look even worse.As for the gameplay itself, well it's adequate.street fighter 4 had two bars to watch other than health, The super bar, which is charged upon taking or dealing damage, and you can use some of to enhance an attack, or charge to full capacity for one really big attack. and the ultra bar, which only charged when you take damage, when it fills, you can use a 1 of 2cinematic special move to level the playing field with your opponent.In street fighter 5, the super is still present, but with a smaller capacity, and the ultra has been swapped out for the V-gauge.essentially, each character has one special attack which charges the V-gauge when when it lands. When full, it activates a unique buff for each character. It's kind of fun to use, but it sacrifices you ultra.Now, instead of having 3 big special attacks, each character only has one. other than that, the combat is similar to before, only difference being an emphasis on counters, which can now result in either blowing you opponent away, or stunning them temporarily. It's still fun, but the lack of characters, and no way to fight AI in Vs bogs it down. Not to mention that this game has a heavy focus on online play, so character customization seems like a high priority. Yet, the only way to even get alternate colors for characters is to either win a few in the survival mode, or pay using either A, in game currency which is only awarded after winning online or completing a challenge, or B, Real money. you get 50 in game credits for beating someone on your level online, and stages and skins cost like 50000 each! you also use this method of payment for the characters which came after the games launch, so many of the fan favorites which were left out need micro transactions, or constant pay to collect. Finally, there is the games main story mode.
    This didn't come with the game at launch either, but it's free, It's fun, and the characters are interesting. But it only lasts like 4 hours, and it goes a very different direction than you would expect.Instead of focusing on Necalli, the villain who was hyped up for this game, it focuses on other things, where Necalli is barley developed and not even the main focus. If you like the series you'll like this, but not as much    … Expand

    While I could not have recommended it to any but the hardcore fighting game community when it released, it’s now complete enough that I don’t have qualms about getting into it now. I’m still having fun with the game, even though most of my time is spent trying to complete survival runs and challenges rather then feed people rating boots online.

    There's a lot to love in Street Fighter V, especially Rainbow Mika, but the fact is that the game still isn't where it needs to be yet. The March update helped, but it was just a band aid on some pretty deep lacerations. Serious fighting game fans can hop in now without too many problems, but more casual players might want to wait—more fixes and a real story mode are still coming.

    At the moment, with its fantastic gameplay but a serious lack of content, Street Fighter 5 is a solid 7/10; a good game that is a great for fans of the genre but can’t be recommended to all. Hopefully though, in a year’s time when the promised features have been added and the roster of fighters has been increased in number, it’ll be worthy of a 9/10. Until then however, those looking for single player fighting thrills should look elsewhere to get their kicks, whilst those wanting to just play online will definitely enjoy Street Fighter 5, but may find its repetition of stages and fighters slightly irksome.
