Played the arcade version this week and it's a case of can't polish a turd, single player is much welcome. However art direction is awful, characters look poor and bland compared to IV, even the Beta of Fighting EX Layer looked much better. A.I. is also terrible in a lot of the matches I played.
Presentation isn't that good, the fact it gives you the date before each fight is just uneeded. As for the gameplay well too many characters are missing key moves from other games in the series, V ism isn't that interesting, mucking around with the inputs for classic moves doesn't help and it all feels very rushed, unfinished and unbalanced.
There's still a pay wall blocking most stages still and the arcade release don't include most of the DLC outfits from even the first year. The fight money system is clearly just a disguise for paid for DLC. £24.99 for six character from season 3? £15 would be a far reasonable price. It's a game that still needs a lot of work perhaps will get a finished version two more years down the line. Far better than the original release that was more like a BETA trial quite frankly

Been enjoying this and the free Arcade Edition update/Sakura free for a week.
Has some good little tweaks. Yes Arcade Mode is good fun, took Capcom a while to add. Still wish the Stages were free and All Costumes could be bought with Fight Money. I had some good online matches too. Extra Battle is good Shin Akuma is rock hard.
I think they should have either gone the way of Tekken and when you buy a character you get their Stage. I suppose the Season pass for all Characters is good though in SFV just wish they gave Season 3 Characters for free to whomever already bought the original game.

Managed to have a dabbler with the game for a bit last night. To be fair, the plus is that Arcade Edition does seem to give you the game that SFV should have been two years ago. It's long and bumpy road this point remains the biggest issue the game has as Capcom has pretty much decimated any good will remaining but for anyone thinking of jumping in now it's a good all round package and the PC versions oddities I used to get also seem to have been ironed out.
Certainly though, Capcom can forget any notion of getting a single penny out me for future content. Their constant nickel and diming of the game is a straight no go for me from here on so I won't put any more money into SFV until the inevitable Final Edition

£15.00 for the recent character pass would have been better value. Given that SNK charged £15 for 4 characters that were added to KOF XIV, the cheaper price point would surely shift more units at the lower price.
I pretty much agree with you on the state of SFV at launch. Barebones is an understatement. Thank God Capcom's added some fat to those bones now though.Last edited by Paddy; 20-02-2018, 09:28.
