    This is just a poorly made game. It is not alright to try and sell an incomplete game for full price. Besides the fact that it has practically no single player mode and a terrible online experience. This is a serious step down in quality and gameplay from past cap com titles.

    Without Blanka, Sagat, an Arcade & Single player mode SFV is an incomplete online crap,I can't believe what Crapcom did this time, by the way online mode sucks ..!
    This game not worth 60 dollars at all.

    Am I mistaken or did I really pay EUR 69 for an almost zero content game which, on top of this, asks me to either grind for "Fightmoney" or use my real life money to buy DLCs such as new characters (which should have been included in the launch version already)??!

People who buy the game should just be able to insert disc and enjoy it, not have to wait for more characters, fair enough if there was decent amount to start with. Also the character roster SUCKS. Period. There are no two ways about it. I have been a SF fan since 2, and played every game since, including Alpha, EX, and 4 and HDRemix. This has the second worst roster after 3, - and even 3 was updated to INCLUDE AKUMA. How can Tekken 7 have arguably one of the most popular and best characters from SF universe, and SF5 make such a major omission?! I dont even like Tekken that much, but game already seems to have more content and look better with the addition of SF Badass Akuma. This is ridiculous, the only reason 4 was as successful was Capcom had the sense to include the original 2 turbo cast plus popular additions from Alpha and 3, hence many casual and loyal fans returned to play the series once again with cast members they loved. Capcom tried to cater to the Tournament crowd, which realistically makes less than 5% of their total sales (Based on assumptions of wanting to sell 2M) and have ended up releasing a UNFINISHED BARE BONES PRODUCT.
    Capcom with SF4 released a FULL game with decent amount of characters and content, where new and old players could have fan favorites, since then they have made huge steps backwards, basically releasing a glorified demo, with major issues such as:
    - No Arcade Mode
    - No proper' story mode upon release
    - No VS. Mode against CPU
    - Small Character Roster
    - Small stage selections (Only 10 - Street fighter 4 had 17)
    - Major omissions of Fan Favourites (I.e Akuma, Sagat, ect)
    - No Trial mode to teach players how to do combos for any characters
    - Removal of pre-fight animations/ bonus stages (car, barrel) and all extras
    - Can not unlock extra content (such as costume colours and taunts) through single player mode till dlc.
    - Catering to Tournament players, and no emphasis on Single player content for long time fan of the series.

    People who defend SF5 are just allowing Capcom to release less and less content under the premise of a 'game' and charge full retail. Mortal Kombat and Tekken have been releasing games with lots of content and have never deserted their most popular characters in major titles or released games with such small rosters/ features. (Imagine Tekken without Heihachi). Also how can it not include arcade mode? A series staple and expected of even the most basic of fighting games. Also removal of extras such as bonus stages (car and barrel, removing pre-fight character animations, trials ect). This may be called Street fighter 5 but has even less features, content and characters than their last entry of the series. They should have stuck to SF4 formula, bring back lots of fan favourites and then gone from there! - If it aint broken dont fix it, - they risked it with SF3 and then look what happened?! - You would have thought they would have learned form that. Overall Capcom has disappointed the majority of their fanbase, and I sincerely recommend not purchasing this until later where more content available to stop you feeling like you paid full price for a demo! Overall a poor release, and a sad day in the Street fighter Franchise.    … Expand

Capcom keeps saying that they've fixed the problem (I've lost count of how many times they've come up with BS on their twitter account in response to player complaints) and yet most people are STILL having server issues. Another problem with the game is that it does not punish rage-quitters. If a person quits before the game has a chance to record the result, this result does not count - either for the winner or loser, which totally sucks. The game really does feel like a half-finished product that was rushed to release. Shame on Capcom for this and shame on the reviewers (IGN - I'm looking at YOU!) who mislead their readers into thinking that they were getting a game that worked when they parted with their hard earned $60!… Expand

    As I am typing this I am waiting for almost six hours for a match online. The entire story mode can be finished roughly within 23 minutes and there is no arcade mode, leaving the players with playing survivor mode or training mode over and over again while waiting for online matches.

    I am a Street Fighter fan. If you say fighting game, I think of Street Fighter. I don't play Tekken, Mortal Kombat or whatever other fighting games are out there, Street Fighter HAS been my fighting game since I was a kid. And it pains me to say that Capcom has failed me and fans like me who have been anticipating this game even since it was announced. I preordered it the first week it became available on the PS store for Christ's sake!

    Despite having excellent gameplay I refuse to give this game even a 1, simply because this is not a game, it's a glorified demo. When the rest of the features arrive by June 2016 may be you can call it a full game.

    Capcom's Street Fighter V represents everything wrong with the cash-grab gaming industry today. And the people here who do not see that and vote tens and nines are obviously paid off by Capcom. It would not be a first by a game studio , it certainly will not be the last.    … Expand

The servers have been so-so for over a week now, and they don't seem to be getting better anytime soon. However, the thing that makes me the maddest about this game is the fact that the local 2P VS mode doesn't work in my game. I have no idea how Capcom could mess this up, but I don't have local multiplayer available on my disc. I emailed Capcom Unity, and they told me that (around) 5% of all PS4 copies of the game have a glitch that won't allow the user to access the local multiplayer. So what does that mean for me? Well, my roommate and I are pretty much unable to play the game. The online has been spotty, there's no arcade mode, and there's no local multiplayer (for us), until Capcom puts out a patch. They (Capcom) told us to "hang tight", and that they would fix the local multiplayer glitch during the big June update. Supposedly the PC version doesn't have the local VS multiplayer glitch, so I definitely got screwed and bought the worst version of an incomplete, bad game. Avoid this game like the plague, Capcom should be a shamed of themselves. Anyone who gives this game a 10 has to be working for Capcom.… Expand

    -Rest of content tacked on as DLC scheduled to come months from now
    -Rest of the characters being sold as extra DLC, one coming in a month proving he's already finished, cut content (which you can also use earned fight money to buy, but grinding for it will take forever)
    -New costumes cost $6 (This is more than entire characters in other fighters)
    -Story mode costumes that you use aren't even unlockable - you have to wait until later when you can buy them in the store

    Final Thoughts: This game is basically online only, which is the same thing Titanfall and Battlefront got criticized for. If you don't have reliable internet, there's scarcely any single player content here for you.

    Capcom strikes again. Would request a refund but GMG won't give them after they give out keys.

    *Edit* This review was taken from my Steam review. Funny enough, I found someone had copy/pasted this on the SFV PC metacritic page. I'm not sure whether to be flattered or upset.    … Expand

A promise of a finished game is not worth $60. So yeah, pretty much everything is true, no challenge mode, no arcade mode, 3-4 fights per character in story mode, servers are up, but still have some problems and don’t even make me start with how Capcom wants you to deal with the rage quitters.

    So that’s about it when talking about what the game doesn’t contain until future DLC. But what is in the game is just as unfinished as everything else. Even when playing this game with some friends in local versus mode, the game starts lagging after a couple of hours if you don’t select training stage. I mean, they had the same problem in SF4, I thought they would at least fix it (I’m still surprised they managed to screw it again and make the same mistake in two completely different game engines).

    Getting the unlockable colors for each character in survivor mode is just a dumb way to try to extend the lack of another single player mode. This could only get worse if they decide to charge for the colors as the only alternative.

    The online mode is inconsistent at best, getting a match with 4-5 bars can take from a couple of minutes to about half an hour. Even when restricting the connection bars to the best, some matches still fill like playing in PowerPoint, you don’t even see the attacks incoming, and they just appear in front of you. I got an error that when someone rage quitted on me, the game stopped tracking my points and I had to close it and open it again so that it would function how it is supposed to be.

    In my personal opinion, we don’t deserve this. This is just Capcom laughing at us for buying an incomplete product. The game was rushed, but it is not our fault, however, if we continue buying things like these, we’ll send the wrong message to developers.

    I know many people was looking for this game, don’t let the developer fool you, like it fooled me. Wait until it is finished, or if you really want it, wait for a price drop or buy it used. If they wanted us to beta test it as an early access, they should at least charge way less for this promise of a future game instead of the $60 that real games deserve.

    I’m giving this game a 0 as a placeholder, just like Capcom gave us a promise of a game.    … Expand

    1. The netcode is atrocious.
    2. The 'Battle Lounge' system simply does not work. It doesn't tell you the nationality or connection quality of the players in the lobbies.
    3. The casual and ranked matchmaking system is terrible. It only matches you up with similarly skilled players around 30% of the time.
    4. The online shop isn't currently functional.
    5. Training mode doesn't remember your preferences so you have to manually reenter them every time.
    6. The loading times are HORRENDOUS! To go from turning the game on to getting into an actual match (even assuming matchmaking works straight away) will take around 5 minutes.

    Capcom should truly be ashamed of this game.    … Expand

    Neither of my USB arcade sticks work in legacy controller mode - on both the buttons work but not the joystick.

    Dont believe capcom when they claim SF5 is compatible with PS3 arcade sticks.

    Un juego con un online deficiente, sin modo arcade y su salida sin modo historia marcaron un inicio bastante malo para este Street Fighter 5. Despues de 5 meses de su salida,lanzaron un DLC gratuito con el modo historia que es bastante malo,pudiendo omitir TODOS los combates.
    No voy a hablar de los DLC ya que son malos y caros.

    Worst business model of all time (as of now, all content costs $200 MINIMUM, more if you didn't buy the "Season Pass" (more like "Character Pass for this season")), content differences between PS4 and PC now. Go to Hell, Capcom.

    Netcode is absolute trash, resulting in laggy matches that you're penalized for leaving early with a 24 hour time-out and a massive PP loss, making the game a complete waste of time.

    One year after its disastrous release, it's sad to see how little CAPCOM has done to address the game's core problems. Truth be told – it is now clear that the original complaints focusing on how the game was 'betrayed by filthy casuals who just wanted to play single player modes' were nothing but damage control by players who couldn't believe how lackluster this game actually is. PatchesOne year after its disastrous release, it's sad to see how little CAPCOM has done to address the game's core problems. Truth be told – it is now clear that the original complaints focusing on how the game was 'betrayed by filthy casuals who just wanted to play single player modes' were nothing but damage control by players who couldn't believe how lackluster this game actually is. Patches were made, characters were added, and still the game feels mediocre at best, whether you're a casual player, or a professional street fighter.
    CAPCOM's disrespectful and cupid business model is still at large, and the whole 'support the scene' excuse they've been so disingenuously hiding behind only goes to show how they want to exploit the competitive scene rather than appreciate and help it – going as far as to use them as scapegoats for their notorious business practices.
    They successfully created an environment where the only thing that matters is winning at any cost, whether you worked for it or not, regardless of skill, dedication or improvement – and any person that has a problem with that is 'a salty scrub who can't play fighting games'.
    The new single player modes can't do anything significant to save this game's credibility, for the single player (or lack thereof) – though it was insulting – was never the main problem with this game. The 8 frame lag, in combination with internet lag (which is always bad, even if you set the search engine filter to 'only the best connections'), and the overall game design and balance choices made by the developers created a game where learning offense routines by heart, auto-piloting and going for punctual YOLO aggression is more rewarding than any other form of play-style. The problem is not that SFV is a guessing game – you can learn to be a good guesser and be smart about it – but rather that the whole risk-reward aspect of the game feels completely out of balance. You can play immaculate for the whole course of a match and get destroyed in less than 15 seconds if your opponent gets ONE opening. By the time you get knockdown and your enemy starts pulling off his setups, you're already playing with your luck. In the end, winning doesn't feel like a legitimate victory, and losing feels worse than ever. If you have some experience with fighting games, you'll spend most of your time wondering how much more can you take before you throw your stick out of the window. How many mindless yolo-scrub approaches will you be able to punish before they get you with one gimmick and completely change the momentum of the match. It doesn't matter how consistent and passionate about fighting games you are, this game will constantly test your limits in the worst way possible : by showing how little the core skills and mindset you built over the years matter in your progression. The only real virtue at stake here will be your patience.
    Making this game more aggressive, fast-passed (even with the deliberately built-in 8-frame input lag) and accessible could have been a nice change of pace and a legitimately good direction for the series, but the necessary adjustments to make it worthwhile were not implemented. Some old mechanics were brought back with no modifications, which leads to disastrous results : getting stunned can happen even to players that aren't playing excessively defensive. Between the block strings, frame traps and extended pressure, one can get stunned in a moment's notice without a chance to respond to the aggression. There were no accommodations made in the frame-data and general mechanics in order to make the 8-frame input lag and the internet lag less of a problem to deal with – which is lazy and goes to show how blindly they believed in the whole mindless aggression play-style of this game. The result is clear : by making this game 'better to watch' they made it a pain to play. While clumsily trying to cater to fighting-game outsiders, they created a game that only feels good for those who don't care about the genre – people who don't want to learn anything, and just want a nice 'rank icon' next to their name so they can feel good about themselves for a while – or people whose next paycheck relies on them pretending to have fun with it.    … Expand

    A shame. No offline content at launch, few characters that matter, story mode added later but still disappointing. Not worthy a single penny and I really regret the money I spent thinking it could be as glorious as the previous game.

    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??)

    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.

    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.
