Street Fighter V is more Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash than Splatoon.

Yeah, the bold is technically true...

 

 

Just like how I'm technically allowed to say that Far Cry Primal is a 5/10 game without having ever played it. I mean, it would be a dumb thing to say, and I'd probably (rightfully) lose quite a bit of credibility, but I am allowed to say that.

I answered a post that referenced my reviews. My scores are based on whether a game is worth buying at its original MSRP, so Street Fighter V has virtually zero chance to score a 7/10 or higher. A 6/10 can still be worth full price for fans of the genre, but SF V should not be accepted because of the barebones state it released in and the outlook that additional content will require further investment (either time or money). Therefore it is a 5/10. The decimal points are debatable, but they are also semantics, so there's not much value to such a discussion.

So, you're seriously going to sit there and tell me that HALF of a games worth comes from the size of the bag, rather than what's in it?

Even ignoring that rather dubious premise, what are you comparing SFV to? As Train Wreck said, the launch content is pretty standard fair for SF and pretty much any fighting game fan will tell you that a larger roster is usually a sign of a poorly balanced roster. He also pointed out that Capcom has a full release schedule for the upcoming content, so at least you did your research before giving your verdict.

 

Beyond that, it used to be that in order to get the most up to date version of SF, you had to buy some super duper special edition. With SFV, you won't. The only things you'll ever buy are the main game and maybe DLC characters assuming you don't want to play to unlock them.

 

I'm not even a SF fan, I just hate it when people bitch about the amount of content to the total disregard of anything else.
