    Thought I'd wait for a year until initial gripes and dust had cleared. In it's starting months I'd have given this fighter a 6 due to the skeletal release, but feeling confident it would improve through sheer loyalty to the Street Fighter franchise. (As a fan of 2D fighters over 3D, Street Fighter IV blew me away with how impressive an effort it put out).

(As a fan of 2D fighters over 3D, Street Fighter IV blew me away with how impressive an effort it put out).

    A year later... and unfortunately the score has gradually dropped with each few months for me. The enjoyment never lasts, even when the temptation to come back via a new update or character reveal is made by Capcom. Balance issues were rarely fixed, lag and server problems are never ending and have wrecked any will to take the game online, leaving just a story mode and survival mode that feels below par compared to SFV's predecessors. Heck, if they keep this up with lack of communication as well, Street Fighter 2010 may become the least stressful out of the two!

    If you haven't got it yet, avoid and go for Tekken 7 or Injustice 2 for a more fulfilling experience. If you own it but were turned away or haven't played it in a few months, there is no reason to come back. I've heard the phrase 'never left beta' thrown about and I have to agree with this one. Never reached its true potential. A real shame for the franchise.    … Expand

    A very lackluster initial release. The game feels terribly incomplete and on launch, after many betas, the servers do not work and the game is unaplayable except for offline training mode. No arcade, no CPU versus, and promised features to be delivered later make this game feel like an alpha, not a finished product.

    The worst Street Fighter saga, no story mode, only 16 wrestlers start, ugly menu, no player vs machine. Only game online? ok, but... Street Fighter online DISASTROSUS, The saga does not deserve this game, it's a shame.

    Astonishing that they would release such an incomplete game. Whatever you do, do NOT buy this yet. Wait until April/may to buy when it has all of the features it really should have. Also it will be cheaper then too. Don't waste money on an incomplete product, it sets a dangerous precedent and will only cause game companies to do this more often.

    SF5 sucks. Here's why:
    + Nothing
    + They'll learn from this garbage of a game and make better SF6
    - Simple mechanics
    - Boring characters
    - Slow
    - Characters dont stand out
    - Too casual friendly, no skill required like USF4
    - Boring to watch and play
    - Some animations are too childish and cartoony
    - V-mechanics are so lame, nothing exciting about it

    The game was released with an incredibly small roster, incredibly small stage selection, no story mode, and still no arcade mode an entire year later. I bought this game earlier this year for $15 on ebay and still felt incredibly ripped off despite what had been added by then. I can't imagine how angry I would've been if I had paid full price on release day.

    While I definitely am one to prefer quality over quantity, the low quantity lacks any quality as well. Street Fighter V does nothing to grow the fighting game genre which is already having plenty of trouble on its own. The greediness of Capcom will be the death of them soon if they keep this up. Even if you're a massive fan of fighting games, I recommend skipping this one.    … Expand

It was in fact being demonstrated on their tv. So I kindly asked for the controller to try it out as I used to play Street Fighter alot way back during the Sega Saturn days. Played a few matches as Chunli as she was already chosen. Seems fun but I had to mash the buttons as I didn't play the game for a long time thinking, I might just grow into this. Was quite excited as other patrons in the store watched me. Sorry guys but I s*ck at it!

    Went to character selection, saw there was only 16 characters. So I ask the guy over the counter "any other unlockable character?" The guy said no. OK. Doesn't matter. So lets see who's in the 16. You get the standard Ryu, Ken, Chunli and Cammy. There's no Guile, no Blanka, no Balrog, no Sagat, no Feilong, no Akuma. Instead we get like around 4 new characters, and you get....Birdie!!! WTFFF!!! Who on earth would tell you "I buy Street FIghter because I want to play a fat@ss Birdie?" Who?? So I gave the controller back to the guy and said no thank you. Was so baffled.

    So I went home, did more research. Apparently characters like Guile will be released as free dlc down the line among other characters. Story mode is like 3 to 4 fights per character and you get to watch a slideshow. And apparently a story dlc is being released in June too. Ehm... ok. Then I look at the PS store, THIS GAME HAS A SEASON PASS!!!!!!! Wut?? So the game in its current state has sooo little content, and yet Capcom released it and they gonna charge dlc in the future??? So what? Some characters free some aren't? New modes? ARE YOU SERIOUS???

    Guys, like what other people saying, the game isn't complete. Don't support it at full price. Don't support Capcom for screwing us over. 2 out 10. 1 point cos I like Street Fighter. Another point for not the worst game ever. Sorry Capcom, you don't deserve higher. Wake up and STOP. THIS. BS. PRACTICE. NOW!!!!    … Expand

    Takes 2.5 minutes to go from one online match to the next. That's as long as the average match, so you're essentially waiting as much as you are playing.

    No Blanka, he was my main, unfortunate for me. Yet they included obscure characters that are far less used. Capcom has not implemented any kind of system to discourage ragequitters.

    Capcom has not implemented any kind of system to discourage ragequitters. When an opponent knows they are about to lose, they quit, and they do not receive a defeat on their record, you do not receive the victory on your record, your time was wasted, and they receive no kind of penalty or consequence for their actions.

    Game is full price ($60) yet lacks the content Street Fighter 4 did at it's launch, lacks a proper single player campaign, which is inexcusable. If they had to release it prematurely with limited content, they should have reduced the price to $40 and labeled it as a prologue. It's unfair for them to charge full price for an incomplete game.

    The only reason why i'm giving the game a 2 instead of a zero, is because the core fighting mechanics are great, and it has potential for the future. But I don't evaluate games on what they will be in the future, I evalute them on what they are now.    … Expand

    Well, STORE MODE IS COMING IN MARCH!

    YES, THERE IS NO STORE TO SPEND YOUR IN GAME CURRENCY. And no micro transactions? Well that's normally a good thing BUT this was when I finally admitted to myself that this game was about 50% complete on launch.

    Of course, I can get no refund for the game. On the bright side my fightstick works for other games that I own that were not kicked out the door 8 months early.

    PS, In 6 hours, I was connected to one match. After two rounds that;s it. No rematch or followup fights with the opponent. Nope you get kicked back to the title screen to wait for it to find you another match. Let me know when they add the game to this game mechanics demonstration. UGH

This game has been released in an incomplete state to fuel the upcoming Capcom Pro Tour event. Only buy it if you want to take part in tournaments, as it has barely any value otherwise.
    Why the low score:
    - Severe clipping/physics issues. While not gamebreaking, the character models are ugly and unpolished. You'd get better graphics from SF4 and I'm not kidding. While textures/AA etc is undoubtly better here, the clipping and physics were better in the predecessor.

    - No SP content. SFV has absolutely nothing on its competition. No missions, no challenges, no trials, barebones tutorial, no story, no randomized content (living towers from MKX, MOM mode from GGXrd)

    - Online features, while functional, are incomplete as well. You can't decline match once it's found, so if you play against someone who lags and then get paired again (which does happen even on most restrictive search settings), you can't decline to play. Casual lobbies hold up only 2 players where 8 were available in the SF4.

    Bear in mind I consider 5/10 to be the "average game" and my score is based on that.    … Expand

If your really going to buy this game get it used because at least you can save money on disappointment.

    If your a pro fighting gamer then your probably playing it on the PC, but if you are a casual there is nothing here for you! Yes, they have added a story but in my opinion it wasn't worth the weight and it will keep you interested if you have never owned a TV or played a game with a compelling storyline.

    The fighting is great but it takes a lot of learning to get good at and start putting combos together that are fun and easy to do and personally I find it horrible to play on a PS4 controller so get a fighting pad (thats if your willing to spend that much money after Capcom has pulled such a classic cash grab). If you want to get better at the fighting you will have to play online and have a really good internet connection otherwise your goner hate the s*** out of this game because there is no arcade mode to learn as your favourite characters but there is a good training mode but lets be honest it gets boring beating the s*** out of the AI without it out stopping the game.

    Story is weak in all aspects so how does the game modes line up? Well they don't, cause there all getting patched in later when and if the developer wants to add them but at the moment there is nothing, unless you want to count that survival mode where you must fight 100 guys but if you lose once you better get ready for them thrilling 99 rounds of the same repeated opponents speaking of opponents lets get to the roster

    With games making such huge leaps in story telling and gameplay these days with loads amount of content meaning the 20% of every game you have ever played you would expect huge line of characters to fight as in this game or at least loads of modes since its such a high profile fighter game as street fighter? You would be wrong if you thought that, in fact you would be wrong even if you expected average. BUT DONT WORRY GUYS CAPCOM ARE PATCHING IN MORE CHARACTERS WITH FREE UPDATES... how often are these updates? Oh there once a month and how many do they add? Oh only one with any game modes? naaaaaah no worries didn't need them anyway

    In fact am going to leave it here otherwise am going to fly to japan with the game disc carve it into a shiv and held the devs at ransom with demands of making this game a free to play release and give everyone there money back! Capcom have **** up again and hopefully this company goes down under soon because its given birth to some of my favourite franchises such as Devil May Cry, Resident Evil and Dead Rising and now its killing them all and hopefully we will see them sell of these IP's to much better developers and publishers.    … Expand

    Online is terrible. No arcade mode. Story mode is only 3 fights long w/one round. Capcom should be ashamed of themselves releasing this. They should call this game Street Fighter Alpha because it's clear they charged 60 bucks for an alpha build. Game is total garbage.

    Oh boy. The game looks good, plays fine, But just absolutely broken online and does not contain an Arcade mode for single player. So, basically, you have a pretty game that you can't really enjoy enjoy online, and does not have a substantial single player mode.

    Please wait until this game is patched up, it's still a beta at this point.

    This game is worse than a paid demo. More than half the game is missing, and the parts that are included don't work most of the time because the servers (always online needed) are crap. Save your money and buy something else. Or flush that $60 down the toilet, you'll have more fun with it than this game.

    Really Capcom? An Arcade game without an arcade mode?? oriented for online playing? just 16 players? no history mode? 59,90€?? Where back in Super Street Fighter II era, but at least that one wasn't as expensive as SFV... and at last but not least it's laggy online.... clap clap clap Capcom, you're perverting your most iconic sagas and for sure it will have bad consequences in the future...

    This game looks and plays great. Awesome graphics and smooth controls. However, there is nothing to play at all. I spent hours trying to play people in the games network, and probably played three matches that lasted less then 2 minutes each. This game would be great if there was a game to play. Worst money ever spent.

    This isn't a complete game. Have to be logged in for Single Player. I got kicked off the server in SINGLE PLAYER modes. No arcade. Was lucky enough to get my $65 back from GameStop because the guy felt so bad about my disappointment.

    If this was an early access game, it still would recommend to wait until more features were added. The fact that this game was released in its current state is inexcusable. The mechanics are on-point, but that is as far as it goes. Capcom got together the minimum amount of content that hardcore fans would accept, and spat it out on the market.

Capcom got together the minimum amount of content that hardcore fans would accept, and spat it out on the market.

    16 characters is on the smaller side for a modern full-priced fighting game, but not completely unheard of. The new characters are very hit-and-miss, with a couple that seem like good fits, and the other couple seem out of place. The characters' models are pretty well detailed, but the backgrounds are cookie-cutter boring (and filled with dumb stereotypes). Going along with the backgrounds are the background characters which are absolutely dreadful looking.

    As said, the mechanics are great, and seem to be a good, small twist on SF's tried and true style. However, I was never able to test them out against an opponent due 2 hours of matchmaking leading to 0 battles. I had thought the MKX launch server issues were the worst possible outcome, but Capcom seemed eager to prove me wrong.

    With no online matches available, the only other things to do are some horribly meaningless battles in a "prologue" for each character (so meaningless you can just press start and choose to skip them), and training. However, the training is as barebones as possible. Training has no challenges (Capcom claims they'll be implemented in March) and there is no information given on the movelist (e.g. hitbox info, properties, etc) other than the buttons used to perform a move.

    Capcom promises more content to come "soon," but as I have learned from MvC3 and SFxT, Capcom doesn't deserve any trust in regards to promises made to encourage people to buy their games. As it is, the game doesn't have half of what a fighting game should have, and what it does have simply does not work. Please do not buy this game and encourage this type of shameful behavior from developers.    … Expand

I was tricked into buying the season pass for this game by the clerk at gamestop who told me that all the DLC will be included and I won't have to worry about the SFV store that much. After completing the "story" mode in 90 minutes, there was nothing else. I don't pay the extra $50 to play online, because I see no point in it. So, with the exception of the survival mode, there is no game here. I read that they may add an arcade mode. Gee, what a thought! Just like every other fighting game released on home consoles in the past 25 years! A good story mode is coming out, in June! I'm typing this in February. I think by June I would have been playing something else. God, what were these idiots thinking!? I returned the demo, I mean game, to the store for half of what I paid for it, and I called Sony who was unable to refund the money I spent on the season pass, since I bought it from gamestop. Capcom owes me $60.… Expand

    This game is not worth the $60 price. What a disappointment. Shame on Capcom. It is a big step backwards from Street Fighter IV. Bad to non existent online match making, no Arcade or CPU versus mode. Very few characters (missing many favorites like, Blanka, Sagat, Cody or Rose. Save your money and buy Mortal Kombat X (can't believe I typed that) or wait for Tekken 7.

    I can't begin to express how disappointing this game is. The game is seriously lacking content and there is no incentive whatsoever that keeps me coming back to it. I force myself to give a chance, after chance after chance but i always end up playing one match and then turning it off.

    This game is not complete. Do NOT purchase until they have at least included an Arcade Mode! Anything you unlock, CANNOT BE ACCESSED until the Capcom Store update comes in March. The game also only comes with 16 characters, and is a massive step down from SFIV (although the gameplay is arguably better). This is a glaringly weak and bare-bones game when compared to MKX, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear Xrd.

    que queda? Nada. 65€ de videojuego comprado en españa meramente decorativo en la estantería.
    Gráficamente no sorprende tanto como dicen porque recordemos que es un juego 2,5D con escenarios limitados y encima muy vacíos y poco interactivos.
    Puede que SFV dentro de 1 año sea el mejor juego de lucha de esta generación pero a dia de hoy ni os planteeis alquilarlo. Aguantad el hype con el sf IV hasta que capcom aprenda la leccion de que no puede vender juegos en fase beta.    … Expand

    A multiplayer game where multiplayer flat out doesn't work or only once a hour - and that a week after release. The lack of singleplayer content makes this even worse for a full price game. Will update if anything changes about the first part.

    Simply put, Capcom charged $60 for a partial game with the reason of "you're buying a platform" and some of the remaining content will be released in March, June etc. Basic modes, very basic modes, were excluded with no rhyme or reason for their exclusion. Save your money and wait until Capcom makes good on their promise. Until then there are much better and more complete games to spend $60 on

    Un early access que no funciona. El "singleplayer" es nulo, pocos personajes, sin MODO ARCADE, sin historia (aunque venga en un par de meses). Centrado en el multijugador i es injugable, muy mal planteado. Una pena porque su jugabilidad y artísticamente pintaba bién.

    Single player non-existent.... No good tutorial for combo that can help casual to learn this game... Online matchmaking will make you fight people who is 2 to 3 league over your so there is no chance u can learn something if u can't event grow one punch. And many more.

    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.
