    Ridiculo!
    Vendeu o Beta como jogo completo...
    A CAPCOM deu um golpe nos consumidores...
    Um absurdo um jogo de luta sem modo arcade
    Simplesmente desisti do jogo
    Passem longe

    The game was completely broken in the ps4, but in PC is unplayable . Ridiculous port. Lousy single player and terrible online. Unsupported joysticks and keybord. Terrible. I requested refund in STEAM. Capcom does not respect consumers.

    Usually I would not rate a game this early, but when I see all those 0 points for this game, I would like to tell you: I love this game.

    At launch times there are always server problems. Not that I like it that way, but SF5 is out since 3 days now, and the servers are running ok. Regarding the improvements during the last couple of days, I expect it to be running great very soon. And

    And now about the "lack of content". What I miss the most is the trial mode, because it teaches you cool combos. But about the rest, like an arcade mode, or a cinematic single player mode: I simply don't care.

    I think the majority of serious SF-players would agree that it is not about the always-has-been-crappy single player mode, not about having 64 fighters in the rooster, but about diverse, well-balanced characters and a great fighting mechanic. And that is exactly what Capcom focused on.

    Thanks, Capcom!

    Content? Can I have some? This is not a sixty dollar game! It plays like you would expect, but come on! It's 2016!!! Why are we still letting publishers sell us incomplete games! I give a two only because I do enjoy playing what is on offer, but will no doubt be sick of it in a few days.

    Este juego deberia ser Early access por lo menos.
    Los servidores se caen, no se puede cambiar las teclas del keyboard, no hay modo arcade, tienes que tener dos controles para jugar versus( si conectas un control te lo toma por defecto como player 1 no pudiendo jugar con control y teclado), muy poco contenido y es demasiado caro para lo que ofrece.

    I could give this game a 5/10 if it would be free-to-play for some mobile device. Like a match-3, you know...

    It has tutorial, and... That's it! There is almost no single palyer -only 1 round fights against very easy AI (no AI level selection), and there is online mode which almost doesn't work! You can play with your friends locally, but beware - it seems PC version doesn't support

    The Daily Dot, LevelUp, GameWatcher, Attack of the Fanboy, PLAY! Zine, Meristation, GameGrin, IGN - those are the great reviewers that gave this game green score here in Metacritic. When will the site kick those critic whores that only give paid scores. The game has no singleplayer no multiplayer no keyboard keys mapping. It is a **** disaster. it is unplayable and unenjoyable.

Don't fall for all the negativity, as this game is simply fantastic!. The game is so much fun to play, I played 3 hours straight online and thats a lot for me on a fighting game. I do understand many gamers complaints on the simple fact that Capcom really should have waited till June to release the game with all the content people expect for a 70$ game. The absence of Arcade Mode or much else for single players is certainly frustrating! ... which is why I NEVER preorder any games for the simple fact that the bait & switch happens foar too often in gaming today. It's nice to know that this game will be a 10/10 in a few months when the content arrives.

    The Game to me with little content is still awesome! .. the characters, the art style, simplified controls, graphics, the fun factor for me is better than Mortal Kombat X which milks the player for expensive Kombat Packs. Street Fight 5 is an awesome fighting game in its vanilla state, I can't wait for the rest in the next 3 months. People wont be crapping all over it when it arrives. Current score 8/10 ... finished score 10/10

    Premessa:
    Ho un pc che non rientra nei requisiti, tuttavia ho giocato la Beta per 3 mesi ed è sempre andato tutto liscio. Gioco a quasi 60 FPS, non sempre e comunque stabilissimi al 100%, ma si riesce a giocare comunque perfettamente troppi senza problemi.
    Quindi penso che, nonostante tutto, SFV mi girerà senza problemi (se gira una Beta dopotutto che, teoricamente, è peggio ottimizzata

    Ho un pc che non rientra nei requisiti, tuttavia ho giocato la Beta per 3 mesi ed è sempre andato tutto liscio. Gioco a quasi 60 FPS, non sempre e comunque stabilissimi al 100%, ma si riesce a giocare comunque perfettamente troppi senza problemi.
    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)?

    direi di si mi sà

    Great game for what is there although I admit I have had some online issues, any other game this would be normal for launch week but when the game pretty much doesent have much to do unless you play online its not good.

    I feel like I have paid full price For a Beta which i unacceptable in my eyes the sad thing is Capcom will get away with this as will other companys in the future.

    Sets the bar lower for all future fighting games. This shipped as a jumbled mess and Capcom/Sony should be ashamed. People should protest all of the SFV tournaments until the game is fixed.

    I'm a Street Fighter fan since SF2, but this is a scam.
    Don't buy this game.

    Simply put this game sucks, thankfully 2 days prior to release I cancelled my pre-order otherwise I'd be one pissed off customer right now. This game has almost no content, the singleplayer is by far the most boring thing I have played in years. The multiplayer has tons of glitches, rarely finds any matches and is just trash.

    The artistic scheme sucks, the ruined some of the badass

    The artistic scheme sucks, the ruined some of the badass characters like bison and made them look like some dumb cartoons.
    There isn't enough characters, look at wikipedia character list comparison in all street fighters, this one has the worst lineup out of them all.

    Chun-Li is fully dressed now, wearing a button shirt with jeans.
    This game is pure trash, stay away.

    Also if you don't have a controller on the PC this game is brutal, a lot of keyboard keys don't work, there is no way to exit the game and you have to ctrl+alt+delete to quit the game. Ridiculous. Even with controller I had to end task to exit the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Le jeu fini sera probablement très fun, mais le brouillon auquel nous avons eu droit lors de la sortie internationale d'hier est tout simplement honteux.
    *** 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!
    *** Pas de mode défi (pour le moment) pour s'entrainer aux combos. Comme ça, c'est réglé!
    *** Des difficultés énormes à créer un salon de combat, encore plus pour trouver un adversaire, et encore plus pour faire un match contre un ami
    Bon allez, j'arrête là la liste est encore longue et ma tension monte! Achetez-le en promo dans un an ou deux, il sera peut-être fini

    A bit of a shaky launch, however the servers are now working fine and the connections are the best I've ever had in any fighting game; it honestly feels like local play. The cast is diverse and so far all the characters seem pretty well balanced, so you won't be penalized for liking a certain character.
    Although for now lacking a bit in single player features, this was known ahead of time

    This is honestly what we get for accepting this kind of trash over the years. All the games that come out, broken or are just incomplete, all add up to situations like this.

    Capcom has slipped SO far from grace at this point.

    The game turns on and you can play some single player stuff. However, it's severely lacking! Online play? Aw, hell no!

    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.
