| RolStoppable said: As if I would spend so much money on a game that is obviously not worth it. 16 characters and basic game modes are missing. That's below the standards the series has set for itself 20 years ago. The outlook for additional content isn't pretty either. In order to get more characters for free, you'll have to play the game a lot to earn in-game currency. Think about it, people pay 60 bucks for 16 characters; this at a time where double the roster size is basically the standard across all fighting games. But paying 60 bucks doesn't make people eligible to receive the missing content down the line; they'll either have to pay more or invest a lot of their time to remove the paywall. I don't need to play the game to a slap a score of 5.0/10 on it. No matter how good the game plays, it completely misses the mark of what people can rightfully expect from a $60 release in the Street Fighter series. This isn't like Splatoon where new content will be made available every week right from the start at no additional cost (neither money or time) for the players. This is a game where additional content has no defined release schedule, because Capcom themselves have no idea when said content will be finished. Jim Sterling is right when he dubs Street Fighter V as Early AAAccess, because that's what it is. There's not even a rough idea of how much content is to come and when, and people will have to make further investments to get a full game. People can talk about how Street Fighter V is mechanically sound, but that's what Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is as well. So these two games are definitely comparable. However, Splatoon is something else. Splatoon's content was already finished at the time of release, Street Figher V's is not. This creates two totally different motivations for why the games were released in the state that they were. |
I hold your opinion on anything not Nintendo related to the lowest standard. But I will remind you that the reason why the game was released this soon is because of the Capcom Pro Tour tournament. For which the modes available are more than enough. Believe it or not, Street Fighter is still king when it comes to the game fighter scene.
@Bolded: Nope. Updates have been confirmed to come free of charge.
