“It wasn’t a game so much as it was a glorified demo, with the promise of the best stuff to come in future patches” Jonathan Lightfoot
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 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.
Street Fighter documentary 'Here Comes a New Challenger' is now available for all, following a successful crowd funding campaign.
By Jason Monroe: Join me as I rank the best Street Fighter games of all time, taking into account their impact on the genre, gameplay mechanics, character rosters, and overall fun factor. Let’s get into it…
Round One: FIGHT!!
This game is awesome
Utah it sucks we had to wait two years for a complete experience
Exploiting the stupidity of the average person is just now becoming worrying?
The only difference these days,is how blatant these companies are in doing it, because you have cement heads who just shrug their shoulders at getting ripped off.
The rest of us are stuck going along for the ride with the tidal wave of idiots.
Just getting back into the game and i'm lacking fight money. I refuse to pay all that cash for characters or play that long to get them. Dafuq isn't the cosmetic DLC paying the bills , damn! Release the characters for free I got no time for that. I'm not trying to go to EVO.
"Releasing a fighting game without an Arcade Mode or Story Mode..." Correction: Street Fighter V did launch with a Story Mode. This comment implies it launch with neither when only the arcade mode was absent. I don't mind opinions but let's not spread misinformation especially when a simple online search can check most facts.
