    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.

    This is a Beta game, you pay to much to play a little battles, its pure garbage! pure trash. Don´t buy this "game", capcom just want your money, nothing more. Can you believe NO ARCADE MODE??? what? this is amazing.

    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.

    No arcade mode, shat servers crappy story mode no 8 player lobbies. FU Capcom. Never again will I support this shat and no more pre-orders. I'll wait till Ultra super hyper turbo alpha street fighter V finally finished edition is available for dlc then I will repurchase again.

    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

But you cannot play because the online mode is trash and you cannot even create working lounches with your friends yet. It is an unfinished product which is also very overpriced.

    A game with excellent gameplay that is completely overshadowed by a severe lack of content and plagued by network issues, Street Fighter V is an unfinished game that sets a terrible precedent for future fighting games to release unfinished products with promises for free dlcs we should feel "thankful for".

    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.

    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.
