Is having your order number visible a smart thing?

 

[Primethius]

What is going on with Amazon, seriously?

I really wanted that Bison outfit!

 

[NoctisVsStar]

NOOOOOOO

Welcome to the club

 

[Wallach]

I'll stick to my physical copy, if PSN goes down you're fucked right?

No, there's basically no difference between a disc and a digital version on PS4 other than the disc needing to be in the drive to authenticate each time the application starts. Authentication really only needs to be done once on a digital version the first time the app is launched after a new installation.

 

[cordy]

I hope he's just trolling because this is a straight up horrible answer.

 

[IntelliHeath]

The OT is going up tomorow anyway?

Monday actually. We probably would hit 20k by tomorrow.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Rip amazon bros.

 

[Movalpolos]

Off-topic question here.

Did anyone else (with an early copy of the game) lose their Fight Money today?
It prompted me to make a new name and all my save data is fine, but all the fight money I earned was gone.

I'm assuming they are just not saving it on the servers because the game isn't actually live yet... right?

 

[Simo]

Damn. I had a preorder for SFV with Amazon in the beginning but I switched it a few weeks ago to GameStop and the CE because of a $50 credit I had. Looks like it was for the better but I'm now waiting for my TE2+ from Amazon....

Hmm, when this happened with Arkham Knight Amazon gave everyone digital codes. Not sure if they'll do it this time as I believe the issue with Arkham Knight was a statue that was exclusive to Amazon.

What issue? All I remember from that at the time was I think one gaffer saying his CE got delayed/cancelled and Amazon would sub it for a digital copy but it seemed like a isolated case. I mean I got my CE on release day with no issues.

A couple of people have said this has happened to them. There was also be a wipe on launch day.

 

[Dremark]

I don't care if he's trolling. Show some character growth to Sakura and get her out of that freaking schoolgirl costume.

How lewd.

Seriously though, it's not like having her character stagnate is something out of the ordinary for the series. I think Sagat has had significant development as a character, Karin had some in Alpha 3 and Nash is significantly different in SFV.

Aside from that I can't think of another character who has had any sort of significant change.

That doesn't mean they can't have her dress like an adult, but they likely view her design as being too iconic to change like Ryu/Chun-Li and even wrote a reason (Although admittedly a stupid one) into the story to keep her wearing the outfit.

 

[Movalpolos]

Ok good. Thanks guys!

 

[hupla]

Somewhat posted earlier that the worldwide release was 9 am PST.

Oh my God really??? Laaaame

 

[Village]

I'm guessing that Sakura is a high school senior while Karin just graduated. Did we ever get a specific class for Sakura during the Alpha games?

Or she's a highshool gym teacher, like the manga and ending

 

[Rhaknar]

Oh my God really??? Laaaame

Yup. It means early evening for europe. Was hoping for a midnight release like xcom :/

Stupid ps4 version

[OverdriveOtaku]

Asked this in the SFV Roadmap thread, but anyone get their Steam copy via GreenManGaming? I have a coupon for 25% off, thinking this is the way to go.

Yes

I would get the season pass with the 20% voucher too (25% doesnt work) but Alex isnt out anyway and they always have 20% vouchers so theres no rush

Just be aware the currency on the site is in euros or gbp (I forgot which one) so the exchange rate might impact your actual price (if you are not from across the pond)

Pretty sure it shows up as $60 for americans, not actual conversion. So $45 with the voucher

[NoctisVsStar]

Yes, I said it a while ago. I want to that shit to come back, but it's too late for V. Maybe for VI? I also like to see the airplane with the map again.

Just get the PS4 version if you want it earlier.

Let's try this

You mean p.m, not ä.m, right? I read somewhere that a person's receipt stated p.m.

The PS4 version is 9 PM PST on the 15th but steam is AM on the 16th.

You would need an arcade most first lol.

Thank you for clarifying.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Well just sent an email to customer service on Amazon so let's see what happens. Hopefully I can get the savings on a digital order along with the preorder incentives.. I mean they fucked up on their end.

 

[Dremark]

Since everyone has the game already except me can anyone tell me what exactly is included with the LE version. All the info mentions DLC cards but gives 0 detail on what they are for.

 

[Dremark]

No you wouldn't, they showed them after 2 player vs matches too.

 

[Rhaknar]

Watching this Momochi vs Kazunoko video with various characters, that Zangief vs Dhalsim match looks like horrible a match up for Gief

Don't pay attention to anything re: matchups until at least 6 months into the game.

 

[Rhaknar]

I know, I just meant first impressions wise

Guys, I don't know if I'll make to to Tuesday. I'm dying. Dying of hype. If I don't, can I have at least one of you people's word's that SFV will be played at my funeral?
