And much, much MORE"
Street Fighter 5 launched in 2016, and is widely considered a misstep for the hugely popular franchise. This article explains why that is.
Every Street Fighter is called a misstep of the series since Street Fighter III..and even the Alpha games were not liked by everyone.
SF V had a miserable start but later it did a lot things actually better than SFIV and SF6.
SF6 is the first SF since SFII Turbo for that I did not buy at launch. And today, around 6 months after its launch I still have no motivation to buy it.
I've had every Street Fighter on launch since SFII on the SNES. SFV is definitely my least played of them all.
SF6 is very good. You should give it a second look.
Maybe in 2-3 years when there is a version that has characters I care for.
So far there is not one of the new characters I like..and my favourite 4 are not a part of it either. (Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega) + the whole hip hop style and the crappy music turned me totally off.
Looking forward a lot to Tekken 8.
SF4 vanilla was loved by most and and not considered a misstep. It wasn't until they went revision crazy that people started turning on Capcom.
Don't remember the criticques it got for the big hands and feet, the sometimes weird looking faces, the lame boss (Seth) and that so many characters were shotos and yup..the many new versions. Just every SF got its haters no matter how good it was.
It was criticized for the first trailers having an interesting art style with those ink splashes, but the real game had none of that and people felt cheated. And Capcom decided to add some of those effects in the game later because of the backlash. But I don't remember any other big complaints about it.
I grew out of fighting games, loved them as a kid but online you just get your ass kicked over and over leaving just the bare bones single player and also having no friends anymore who like fighting games either just makes me not want to buy or play them anymore.
Replies(1)Whether it's showcasing damage realistically or simulating fractures and conditions, these games are worth checking out.
The Metal Gear series has sold 60.2 million copies, as of September 2023.
Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.
...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.
I'll be the first to admit, I thought Tomb Raider would've ended up similar to TitanFall; A console exclusive but also appearing on PC. I still plan on picking it up in November for Xbox One, but I'm glad there will be a PS4 version at some point. I just hope it reviews really really well because that will directly impact how well it sells on the PlayStation 4 during the always busy Holiday season next year.
Rise of the Tomb Raider was never announced as an exclusive, I don't understand why there has been so much confusion over it.
