    Demo version of the game for full price! Very greedy company. And where are my previous reviews of this game? This is a question for the site owners.

    Censoring Cammy's entrance, R. Mika self-butt slap and the jiggle physics certainly was not a good idea! I didn't know there were puritans even at Capcom!

    Once you get permanently banned online for disconnecting, you can`t get the trophies for the Platinum,
    Garbage....
    I tried to unban, but customer service said they cant do anything.
    Stay away from Street Fighter games, trying to Platinum this garbage is not worth it or any other Street Fighter game.

    The Standard Street Fighter V doesnt feel completed, too many contet greyed out, to unlock more content it needs ridiculous amount of play time or you buy the season pass/champion ship edition upgrade.

    Easily the worst and most boring sf game in the entire series.
    The graphics look so bad its like something out of a childs fairytale book.
    The actual gameplay itself is soo weak boring and tedious as well, not even close to as good as sf4.
    OH and lets not forget either the severe lack of stages fighters and gameplay mechanics for the first 3 years after the game launched disgusting.

    Even for free on PSPlus this game is not worth it. The insanely long loading times (not just each time you start, but even on the character selection screen) are ridiculous and inexcusable.

    Feels very much like a free to play game with all the DLC as well.

    They took a beloved franchise and threw it away. They combat is the slowest its ever been. The execution is garbage. I could flail the sick around and get a dragon punch. The combos are only like 5 hits at best and the DLC characters are just old characters that should have been in the game from the start. It's disappointing at best.

    Got this with the PS+ free game of the month and I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Was excited to play as my main man Guile, until I saw he's behind a pay wall.

The only way to earn FM is playing online matches offline story or arcade doesn't earn you FM. I played two matches and earned 70 FM. So you spend all day grinding you might be able to earn enough FM to unlock one character this time next year. The sound, music and controls are all solid but that online grind or pay $25 to unlock everything is what holds this game back. Capcom y'all done screwed it up.… Expand

    The game is pure rubbish. To the first match you have to wait two hours of licensing, finding a unique nickname (so what's the point to have a psnID??)
    Erased before the first match. Boring and crappy.

    Capcom trying to be the king of paywall fighting games this generation.
    The awkward updates, where your game has to be on the main menu of sf5 is trash.
    The artwork feels the cast does steroids.
    Another big let down from capcom.

    Terrible. It's 1/4 of a game. You're locked out of so much content and basically forced to look at microtransactions because earning fight money is a complete joke.

    If you want a good game, look at UNICLR. This is trash.

    That was a shame. It`s a demo and a fault of respec to to the fans.

    Sacar el juego en esas condiciones fue vergonzoso. Sin luchadores ni modos de juego, que posteriormente ya te irán sableando año a año.
    Una cosa es sacar un juego respetable y añadir dlc's...pero esto sobrepasa todo límite respetable.

    The game is so poor. First of all, no content at all, the online is unplayable and even if we're gonna pretend that's not a problem, the game itself offers a very poor gameplay compared to Super SF 4 , it's like you don't have many options when it comes to combos.

Or maybe it's just me who's the problem here, perhaps SF isn't my type of fighting game anymore. I hope capcom fix this in their SF6, because I don't see hope on this one, it's too late, they messed up the core.… Expand

    This game is more like a demo. Now when there are new players and stages it looks terribly stripped from it's content. I know things were added while time passed, but that shouldn't be full priced game. Arcade edition is again some king of middle state for the game. We need to wait 4 years for complete ultra super mega hiper edition to be sold complete? It's a bad joke.

    Street Fighter V is a bad fighting game, there aren't many fighters to choose from and its really boring in comparison to a game like Mortal Kombat X. This was my first Street Fighter game and its really left me wondering what all the fuss is about. I really don't like this game.

    Street Fighter V is at the same time, a game that revolutionizes the franchise for the current trend (online) and a real disaster for the old guard of casual fans (offline).

This situation caused huge frustration to the fans who made SFStreet Fighter V is at the same time, a game that revolutionizes the franchise for the current trend (online) and a real disaster for the old guard of casual fans (offline). After the hype soon after its announcement, what was seen at the launch was a game with a full price ($60 USD) but unfinished, without content but online. This situation caused huge frustration to the fans who made SF the most important franchise of fighting games.

    It is clear that the franchise could not fail to be part of the online gaming revolution that is happening (long time ago actually) but almost abandoning the offline mode for casual players brought terrible reception to the game that, except by the "nonsense" contentless, is a great game with an incredible gameplay (in my opinion better than SF IV but still so far for the best SF in terms of gameplay ever released, SF III).

    As I said, its qualities are its competitive mode (when the server works, of course) and its gameplay. There are exciting new features, new skills and a drastic change in the style of classic characters, which caused some displeasure but brought new perspectives. However, its qualities end here.

    Among its many weaknesses, there is the terrible choice of turning SF V into seasons. What initially seems like a good idea to keep the game always interesting, is a bad business for needing to buy season pass over the years. I'm not totally against games with season pass but if the idea was to do this, it's absurdly unfair to sell it a full price of the game at its launch. It'll be fair costs about $20 at the launch and the other $40 would come for at least the first two seasons (the others seasons could be a bonus additions). The justification for this is its second biggest weakness: the F*** 'fight money' (FM). Again, if we it were fair there would be no problems but Capcom's greed is something that always surprises negatively. Basically it is possible to buy all the additional content of the game using only the game money. The problem is that to make enough money you must be a PRO player (what 95% of players aren't) or you simply spend real money. This pathetic situation is identical to the online mode of GTA V. It makes you think that the company cares about the player giving him the opportunity to get everything "for free" but, in fact, it makes the game's content inaccessible to a huge part of fans forcing them to spend even more real money. Something that should be abominable by everybody is still defended by crazy fanboys, even if that most part of them can not even achieve enough FM to get the full content of the game.

    Other negative aspects are technical aspects. Even the graphics being beautiful - which is an obligation with the capacity of the current generation -, the exaggerated cartoon style causes bizarre situations. It is not uncommon seeing hair or part of the fighter's costume to go through them bodies. The scenarios are very beautiful but they've to be bought as well (absurd). The alternative costumes are great and bad at the same time. Great because they offer good options like the classics (always the best) and terrible cause there are plenty of nonsense costumes with no relation with the characters (gangsta Ryu for example).

    More negatives are the arcade mode finals (which came as a free DLC a long time after the original release), which are just a frame with a simple art (and dubious taste). The story mode has very fast fights and, most of the time, put in the game only as a pretext to justify being a fighting game, including the poor script - which is not uncommon in the series that always has a simple-bad plot.

    The game is a landmark in the franchise. It has the great initiative to introduce even more the franchise to the competitive (what I do not like but it is very very necessary in the present days) and brings great gameplay, making the game really addictive. At the same time, it is the worst SF ever released in terms of content and (lack of) characters available available to casual gamers since SF 1 (1987).

    If you are an almost pro player, very competitive and a long-time fan of the franchise, it is mandatory. But if you are part of the vast majority of casual player, it is not recommended (unfortunately). Street Fighter V became a niche game (for pro and online players) inside a niche (fighting games) of industry.

    There’s a great game in Street Fighter V, but only if you’re willing to learn the hard way. Capcom will need more than the few thousand competitors following the Capcom Pro Tour to make this game, and the series as a whole, sustainable for the future.
