SFV is gonna get destroyed in the reviews.

7.5/10, then?

Unless websites started using the whole scale nowadays and I'm out of the loop.

 

[K.Sabot]

6/10 metacritic is my lowball, 7.5 is my high.

 

[call_kotaku]

7.5/10, then?

Unless websites started using the whole scale nowadays and I'm out of the loop.

they use half the scale when they need clicks

but never the full scale, no

 

[Rice-Eater]

So I decided to preorder through PSN. I guess this means I get the Chun costume. If anybody is getting it from Gamestop and wants to trade codes(I assume we're getting codes for these costumes, correct?) with me then let me know. Ryu is my main and I want him looking as hot as possible when I play him.

 

[Numb]

Gonna go with a full 7/10
Reviewers might go for the safer 8/10

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

SFV is gonna get destroyed in the reviews.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

High 60s - Low 70s, I'm predicting.

 

[.la1n]

SFV is gonna get destroyed in the reviews.

If its related to the content for price then I agree. Don't know why they didn't launch at a lower price point since it's a games as a service model now.

It also looks pretty unpolished even by Capcom standards.

 

[Perro]

Rip SFV, we Pokken now.

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

High 60s - Low 70s, I'm predicting.

No way lol. This is Street Fighter. Half of gaming reviews is name recognition. Expect 8s

Do you think a site like IGN that just had a week long program devoted to SFV with Combo & DynoMike are going to give this game a bad score?

 

[pizzacat]

When's that OT coming out? Want to trade this cammy for the ryu costume

 

[Numb]

Rip SFV, we Pokken now.

The one true fighter after Smash

Spoiler

Actually looking forward to pokken

 

[Rhapsody]

This face always reminds me of Karst's avatar lol

No codes on PSN preorder. It is just unlocked and seems to be account locked. Which means everything you buy stays on that account even if you do the main console setting.
Funny thing is, the content seems to be actually region agnostic. Which means you can buy US seasons pass and use it with EU retail version as long as you use the account you bought it for.

 

[Anne]

I'm going to guess by virtue of SFV being what it is, it'll get like 8s and 9s still.

I agree its performance is p poor though but I doubt most reviewers will know what all is going on anyways.

 

[biosnake20]

Exactly. If there were a zelda game that was complete dogshit it would still get mostly 9s.

Sadly I 100% agree with this. The money hats are too obvious.

 

[BiggNife]

Fuck I just got styled on by a Karin player twice

It felt like once I got knocked down once that was the end of the match because I always made the wrong guesses on wakeup

No lies
Name too big.
Maybe they are wrong instead of the game being mediocre/lack of content/is a fighter and hard to review unless specialized/etc etc thought process

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

How did you get into cindi's PMs?

*giggles*

 

[BiggNife]

I mean, Splatoon was starved for content at launch too and it got solid 8s all around

I think the promise of lots of free content very soon will make the reviews much less harsh than they could be

 

[pizzacat]

Yea man Twilight Princess was crazy

True OoT is the best exmple

SFV will review great. The Metacritic user score however? Not so much.

Well damn that sucks. Does this mean we can't buy those additional costumes until March because the SF/Capcom Shop thingy won't be open till then? Or can it still be bought through PSN/Steam before then?

DunplealD, hopefully our SFV matches will be more playble than our USF4 matches. I look forward to the playing the mirror match with you as long as we don't get bogged down by lag.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

If I get the game on Tuesday I'm considering just playing Ryu since he has general tools and I felt comfortable with him in the beta.

Maybe Zangief because he looks pretty cool in this game even though I don't play grapplers.

 

[Lostconfused]

Publishers don't care about the user metacritic and everyone else dismisses it as entitled whining.

 

[RockTurtle]

True OoT is the best exmple

it wouldn't be an obvious bait if you had chosen something like dark souls 2 instead

Obsidian wishes this would have been the case :C

If they are on PSN they can still be bought. Otherwise I wouldn't have the chun li preorder costume to use either right now.

Hopefully, though I suck at mirror matches to be honest. But we both know the truth. It will be Dictator mirror and teleporting everywhere.

What I don't like is the background characters trying to steal the attention of the fight. It's just silliness for the sake of being silly. In past games, the characters looked nowhere near as good as the fighters, but they were just standing in the back watching the fight. I also don't like the filter applied to the sky of each stage.

Ignoring the character models and a few parts of the stage, the sky looks much better without that filter. It's just makes the stages not as pretty. I don't think they're necessary. I don't think it makes the visibility of the fighters better, as the lighting on the characters is what makes that better.

I agree that there are too many silly people in the backdrops, but in your example the current version with the green filter is superior. Even in that screenshot without characters in motion I can already see the dark backdrop with neon signs is making it more difficult to discern Chun's shape in the foreground. What SF5's stages have going for them is a really exceptional foreground/background relationship that allows the characters to be completely distinguished from the backdrop.

Agree with Kadey overall, SF5 is a good looking game but the stages could be better. Comparing animations with 4 is silly, it's miles better.

Depends on the game.

I talked about in Discord but I ran into frame skip and slowdown on SFV offline last night :<

What's the Discord channel?

SFV launch version deserves a 4/10 tbh

March version probably a 7/10

June version probably a 8/10

I think the comparison with visibility isn't fair as they added lighting above both characters in the stage with the filter. I think if there was lighting above them in the old version like the new version, the difference wouldn't be that big of a deal.

SFV v.2017 10/10 after they give Ryu his donkey kick

Yo Kimosabae, we did it!

 

[QisTopTier]

No as someone who grew up with nes zelda I seriously hate it

 

[GorillaJu]

Yeah, Capcom fucked up. If it isn't working, I'll be glad to see 2/10's for them.

You do realize it's not Febuary 16 yet right? Are you seriously calling it a "fuck up" that servers are being janky 30 hours before it comes out? They're probably doing last minute tweaks and maintenance. Unless this is sarcasm. Can't tell sometimes.

People literally whining about online support when the game hasn't even been released yet.

Possibly you're right. I think the older one is definitely prettier but I see the benefit of the newer one for visual cohesiveness and I tend to think that they made that call not because they wanted to make the stage uglier but because it looked better with the lighting engine more fleshed out.

Make Ibuki a puppet character. Don chan needs to stop being lazy and help Ibuki out.

I want a stand character in this game. It makes so much sense with the V Skill and V Trigger system.

Yes
Yes

I found a review for SFV but I am not sure if the site is legit on GAF. They hlgave it 9/10 only docking points for lack of content (which the writer went of their way to say will be coming soon) and simpler combat/fewer combo options.

 

[BakedYams]

9/10 for a review. Let the hounds in.
