Street Fighter V'S Lack of content is APPALLING

So Street Fighter V comes out Tuesday but a lot of people already have the game. I've been talking with some of them and here are some features that aren't in the game at launch:

Challenges
Trials
1P vs CPU
CPU vs CPU
8 player lobbies
Cinematic story mode
Individual character stories themselves are also missing 2-3 chapters each
In-game shop
Alternate costumes (you can earn them but can't unlock them until the in-game store comes out in March)
Spectator Mode
Stage transition canceled.
Targets
Extra battles
Arcade
No Gallery Mode

Just to name a few. This is the most barebones game I've ever seen ask for full price. There's some basic stuff on this list that just isn't in the game. 1P vs CPU is one of fighting games most basic features, and it's nowhere to be found. Even the alternate costumes that they recently showed off aren't usable until March, when the in-game store is opened. This is f****** disgusting and I want as many people as possible to know that the game Capcom are selling on Tuesday is basically a $60 beta with one or two game modes added in.

Have you EVER created a positive topic about the game?

Just asking.

Yes I did. I created one topic asking how would people support the game and I said myself that I was going to support by buying dlc costumes.

Eh, I suppose it might be disappointing if you only play single player, but I don't play any of those modes so i'm good

It's launch day yet ?

You received day one patch ?

FMP topic :)


PS : almost all of these will be added in March anyway ... but hey, cry more FMP, you did that for like a year now, I guess you are helpless now that release day is so close and you'll have to find something else to do with your life :)

This kind of bare bone contents remind me of mvc3 launch. I think hardcore players appreciate the game but casual gamers, they probably will avoid this game.

I'll speak for myself over all of those and if I care if it's Street Fighter V. No trolling, just honest answers.

Challenges - Never did those. I don't care.
Trials - Did a few with my main but found them impratical in actual matches. Title grind. Useless.
1P vs CPU - Never played SFIV more than 5 minutes without friends over or online.
CPU vs CPU - Waste of time. Who would watch two computer fight? It's like listening to a movie without seeing it.
8 player lobbies - I'm glad it's coming soon, but that's a lack IMO. But hey, I only use 2p lobbies.
Cinematic story mode - The trailer wasn't really good. I feel like SF's strong point isn't story. MK is far better so I honestly don't care.
In-game shop - I just bought the game. I don't want to buy more stuff. Unlocks are cool but for a month, I wont see countless alt Lauras.
Alternate costumes - Premium costumes like Beard Ryu and Dress-Li are available at launch? I don't mind costumes later. I'll unlock colors for default.
Spectator Mode - Never used spectator mode except KotH MK.
Targets - I prefer Walmart.
Extra battles - Whats that?
Arcade - Story Modes are 4 battles long. Less of a chore. Play survival to play against the CPU AND unlock colors.
No Gallery Mode - Gallery of what? If you want galleries, hit some hentai website.

I agree TC, this is bad!

Considering I was looking at it as being a beta at release from way back, I am not surprised. My main concern is I want to hear them say they'll go back and fix up the horrible visual presentation, rather than just keep adding DLC content in a quantity over quality manner as things move along.

*stage/npc polycounts/texture quality needs upgrading.
*stage interactions - only 1 stage having them is crazy and super inconsistent.
*character story mode art looks like an 8yr old's fan art, feel sorry for Bengus, I don't blame him.
*clipping - everywhere on characters hair and accessories and other body parts clip through everything
*lip syncing is bad in general when the 3d char models are talking to each other in intros/outros

All the stuff that should be here, but isn't until March, I'm fine with, since it means I can play the game sooner. I just don't want that stuff to be of the same low visual presentation quality of the current stuff.

It being so bare bones at launch isn't my main concern is what I'm saying. It's the quality of the bare bones stuff we're getting that I take issue with. I just want to hear them be asked in some interview about whether all that stuff will be addressed down the line, rather than just going crazy with new content that is of the same crap standard.
