Characters Are Vanishing from Copies of Street Fighter V on PS4

I read that some discs are lacking the local multiplayer, but I have no idea how true that is.

Let's all just ignore this SFV coverage and pretend it's launching in March, lol.

This game sounds a bit broken. Also just read a lot of players are rage quitting matches and there's nothing in places to discourage this as the game just acts as if the match never happened. So quitters get to keep their winning streak in ranked games. Was keen to buy but now I'll wait until it's fixed and discounted.

I've read somewhere about a bug which causes Chun Li to be a Dead or Alive type character for player 2. This game sounds like a lot of fun at the moment but I'll wait for the finished version in June, so I can play the story mode before I get beat up online 😃

I'm not even going to bother asking if the game can get worse.

Just once I would like a game launch without some widespread problem, but SFV has gotten quite a few. It's always something.......

I'm sure I would have held out getting the game until later, but since I live a couple hours away from friends and we're getting together this Friday I decided to get it. Disappointing all this stuff is happening. Will Capcom make it up?

Doesn't affect me as I won't be playing this game until it's fixed, working and has substantial single player content to play. And uh, that hour long story mode ain't gonna cut it. Arcade and vs mode or it can rot on a shelf for eternity.

This launch seems to be not really going as planned. Just imagine if games were put out in this state on the PS2 it would have killed the future generations of PS consoles

Content is vanishing from a game lacking in content? That's kinda funny!
This launch has been a trainwreck

This is the worst street fighter ever, NO arcade mode? Are you kidding me?

How to ruin what should easily be an awesome game because of completely stupid nonsense? Just put Capcom in charge.

I'm sure everything will get sorted out and it will end up being a great game but man did they drop the ball out of the gate. I'm glad I decided to wait...

This is why I dont buy games like this at launch.

9/10

DLC, DLC, DLC, the game should have released with no fighters, y'all should be grateful.

I cant find Guile anywhere.

Bro, it's free! If you play a scant 200 hours you too can have a free fighter (of course we already mentioned Alex will be cheap, we kinda figured you would be pissed off about this whole minimal content thing.)

Makes me wonder why Yoshinori Ono even joked about "We could have sold this (Cinematic Story Mode) separately!" when the game has so many problems on top of the lack of content.

Geez, I think I'm better off just sticking with Killer Instinct. Come on Capcom.

@WanderingBullet
I've lost a lot of respect for him after this game, to be honest. I look at all the effort that Masahiro Sakurai and his team put into Smash Bros. and compare it to SF V and it's not even close. I wasn't fully ready to give up on Capcom before but I am now. They can't even get a freaking 2D fighting game right anymore. The question now isn't, how awesome the RE 2 remake will be but how will Capcom not screw it up? It's sad how far Capcom has fallen and how quickly.

@TheMightyPunram
This is actually a rare case where I'm a proponent of saying nothing. Usually I don't think that's the way to go. However, every time Ono opens his mouth, something stupid comes out. Capcom just needs to quietly fix this issue.

@WanderingBullet

Living in a bubble, the whole fighting genre has been slowly moving towards more content (see MKX) while also being geared towards the competitive scene......they threw all of their initial money in the latter and, while not a death nail, it has proved to be a pretty public mistake.

@sub12 Yeah, its a shame really but I feel they still got to cater to those people who prefers the single player experience as well. I don't think everyone would like see this trend to applied to every game that used to feature both SP and MP modes in the future. It'd be like Bungie scrapping PVP from Destiny 2 or the developers of COD leaving out the single campaigns.

I'm glad I am waiting to buy it

@WanderingBullet

I totally agree with you, single player and multiplayer should coexist. I find it a bit ironic that for the last couple of weeks before SFV was launched, Capcom has been very vocal about future DLC and content additions.......I reckon when they got their internal mock reviews back, they realized they were going to be torn up due to the lack of single player content.

@sub12 Agreed, I also didn't understand why Capcom didn't announced that the game doesn't feature an arcade mode before the game was released. I feel that's something that everyone should know. Oh, well...

@WanderingBullet

Yes, I'll revisit SFV for sure, but for now I think I'm going to put it on the back burner until I feel the content is sufficent to keep me satisfied (honestly I got frustrated when I played it on Tues, I realized how good it was, but also how very bare bones as well).

I've heard the argument, Capcom told everybody what modes would be included.....but I reckon most people thought that some kind of arcade mode (or just a more substantial short story mode), as well as VS CPU would be automatically included. Why do you need to send a presser for that? It's expected.

@sub12 On the bright side, I did enjoy some of the game time I had during the Beta test. My game should arrive hopefully by the end of today.

Oh Crapcom ... why is this not surprising?

So instead of waiting for the Ultra Alpha Max EX-Plus version (which they said they wouldnt do with SFV) people just have to wait for the initial content that the game should've launched with. Good going Capcom, keep raking in the dough.

I'd be pissed if I had to grind to get Capcom-Bucks only to unlock a character that mysteriously disappears from my roster lol.

Another example of this gens "Release now. Patch later." mentality.

Suggested meal plan for Street Fighter V: tofu burger and non-alcoholic beer.

I would have demanded a reprint which actually isn't broken if I bought it. Luckily I didn't. Day 1 patches for all it's worth but it takes a lot to screw up this much. Only Ubisoft can derp better.
