When I saw that playing the game I legit felt embarrassed for the people that made the game. Complete trash.

Street Fighter V is getting thrashed by the Steam reviews

I wish this game had DeviantArt level art. This is equivalent to something I would doodle in high school when I was bored in class, just colored in.

Are people saying it is bad or incomplete? Bad in the sense that it is incomplete, bare bones, matchmaking/online is busted, featureless? I don't think many have a problem with the mechanics.
because it's the best fighting game I've played in a very long time if not since the 90s. I've played a ton of them but what's the point of 'content' if the game itself doesn't grab me? MVC3 had fuck all to the game, was obsolete in under a year and its online was garbage...still had tons of fun with it. SF5 is going to be continually supported and has solid netcode, yes I'd like more but if they had called this early access beta I'd be in anyways.
I'm supportive of the people criticizing the game because in the end all this can do is get us a better game. But don't try and tell me I'm personally wrong for buying it, like you're in disbelief I'm able to have fun with the game. Most of my time with it has been local vs so far, which is lacking nothing.
marvel did not get shit on anywhere near to this degree, and it was lacking a lot of EXTREMELY basic stuff too. At least this time we only have to wait a month for spectator lobbies and they won't cost $40.
Pretty much, its so silly.

Yeah, I'm not against the people who are enjoying this game and are satisfied with this game as is. But only have an issue with those telling others that they're in the wrong for expecting more or for criticizing capcom's decisions/communication, or are not "true" fans because they personally are having a blast with the game in its current state and couldn't care less for other modes. Also the accusations that it's just dogpiling or xbox users, or just complaining for the heck of it. as though these aren't legitimate issues from legitimate fans.

I'm honestly not trying to be an ass, but this looks like basic concept art. I'm pretty shocked it's the actual, final artwork for the story mode.
Capcom really must be struggling financially. And Sony must not have given them a whole lot of cash.

That's about as logical as someone claiming NeoGAF is a hivemind.
People are allowed their own opinions, even if a large percentage of them happen to agree with one another.

oh yes it did. it was the entire start of all of this. All because of MK9 story mode and the Krypt. prior to that game it was only sf4/ssf4 which also had nothing.
Yeah, when the tutorial mode images leaked from data mining, I thought "surely this is just placeholder art, that can't be the final version..."

Gamers are once again reinforcing the stereotype that they're unreasonable whiners.
It does, but trust me its going to have its on battle around the time of its release. Especially since online is probably gonna be crap and people are gonna bash the graphics again. Probably going to bag on its story mode to for not being like MKX's.
It was rushed. The artist has been known to make some fantastic stuff but yeah, this is really bad.
I don't know about what state marvel was in, as I'm not really into the franchise, just occasionally played it at a friends place. But there were little to no complaints about SFIV in terms of SP content and the only criticism that I remember SSFIV getting was for the opening/ending cutscenes for arcade mode which Capcom said would be better than SFIV's, but actually turned out to be of lower quality. And both of these games shipped before MK9, so there were no story mode comparisons.

I will never understand how people wishing for basic features at launch are "unreasonable".
You say this like 16 is a commendable number of characters for a fighting game released in 2016.
Vanilla SFIV had 25 characters in 2009. Most fighting games since then have had at least 20, many with considerably more than that.
SFV having only 16 characters at launch is as barebones as the rest of the game.
It's a good thing there are only 16 characters for balance and unique playstyles until it's a good thing that they are releasing new characters that strictly speaking don't require more money.

Reviewing the game poorly when you were told certain features would come later certainly is.
If promises got you extra credit on reviews, Godus would have been the game of the generation. What Capcom says is coming should have zero impact on a review today.
considering how unique each character is and how much work goes into said characters...yes is is a fine number. Xrd had less. Time and time again people prove that they have no clue how much actually goes into making characters.

You're joking, right? I should give a game a great score and not have any criticisms for its lack of content...based on future promises? Is this really the hill you want to plan your flag on?
People paid $60 now, not later. It's fine if more features are coming later, but people are absolutely right to complain that things like VS CPU are missing. And guess what? A basic feature like this isn't even on the upcoming roadmap!

You review the product that exists now, not promises of future content that could potentially change and are impossible to review until they actually exist. A lot of people are of the frame of mind that what is on offer right now is insufficient to command a $60 pricetag.
Sorry, but what "basic features" means? Is there a checklist for this?

Then don't buy the game. It's silly to bag on a game after the fact when you were told what was included.
That was the home release of SF4. The arcade version released with 17 playable characters, one of which was a hidden character.

Vs CPU? Arcade Mode? Better online support?
At least the latter is coming next month.
Do you honestly think any reasonable person expected the lack of a VS CPU option? That's such a fundamental mode in a fighter, that I honestly don't think anyone, for a second, thought it would missing. And what's even crazier....it's not a part of their upcoming plans!

A feature that has been a standard for all fighting games for the past 20+ years is considered a basic feature.
Yep people just whining over the negative reaction to street fighter, people need to chill
and they paid for what is currently in the game now. Thats on them.
The constantly updating nature is a major part of the game....and thus it should be mentioned and taken into account.
if someone reads a review and see that content is currently lack BUT will be added to in the next few months, then they now know the full idea of what SFV is NOW and could be in the future. To ignore that is just silly.
Bottom line is, if the game being incomplete is such a big deal to you...then wait until it is complete. why is this just being ignored. The lacking arcade mode and vs cpu sucks hard...hopefully capcom listens and adds...but waiting for an updating game to have what you want shouldn't be this big deal.. Sometimes I wonder if the old method of keep buying new updates would be better for some of you.
lol yeh as if every top player stopped playing SF4...the ones who did would have no problem going back to it. Everything changed when they couldnt finish SF5 on time. Simply release the game a few months later when its actually complete. WTF is the problem with delaying it? Would it have affected CPT? of course....but so what? its their fault that would have happened. CPT is not SF5. Its a bunch of tournaments that the majority of who bought the game would never enter or even care about.
At the end of the day Capcom's main priority with SF5 was getting it ready for CPT and so they rushed it, which was just ridiculous and the backlash is well deserved.
You obviously love unfinished games or likely Capcom itself, so no point in discussing this further with you.
So it seems people didn't research the product they bought.
Then they complain about it.
I makes sense though.
Even with all the updates Capcom gave previous to it launching.
Many casuals don't keep up with the industry as many of us on this forum.
Heck there's people on this forum who didn't know.

So maybe Capcom could have actually informed consumers with notes on the box and the digital store page that say "WARNING: SHIT AIN'T WHAT YOU EXPECT IF YOU HAVE EVER BOUGHT A FIGHTING GAME"
Arcade SF4, the most vanilla of all versions, had 16 characters at launch. The console release, which had 25, came out a year later. A year from now SFV will have, at least, 22 characters.
WTF is the problem with waiting a few months to play the game that meets your standards? Frankly, I envy the people who think the lack of singleplayer modes is a deal breaker. You guys can walk into Best Buy whenever these modes get patched it and pick it up at a severely reduced price. Big deal.

Well there's the whole money thing, too.
Xrd launched with 15. Skull Girls launched with 8. Persona 4 Arena launched with 13. KI launched with 8. Hell, even MKX, known as the fighting game with ALL the content, only launched with 18 characters (with an additional special pre-order character).
The gameplay mechanics are solid, and it's great that the cast seems very balanced overall. I watched WNF yesterday and it was hella entertaining(Partially because I love Snake Eyez Gief).
With that said compare this game to vanilla smash 4 and it's pretty laughable, even 3ds has more content. What I will say though is that there is certainly more effort put into the online which is great. The online for this game is certainly better than Sm4sh at least.
The game also doen't need a whole bunch of characters, 16 at launch is pretty nice.

Pretty much.
I'm not saying your wrong and that your opinion is unjustified, but does the Survival mode not cover that for you?
At first I was disappointed with lack of Arcade mode, but after playing Survivial mode some, I'm not as disappointed.
(not trying to be antagonistic, at all btw)
The difference is SFV plays well and has depth. It also doesn't have janky balance that rewards grinding over skillful play.
You said this already,no need to edit that statement out of your last post,champion your opinion if you want to. King Awesome also replied to you with a better explanation so you should also not want to continue this discussion with him either.

The reason there are 16 characters for now because its easy to balance. Have you played MK? its a nightmare on balance. And gets patched every other month. Game lot of popularity due to this both online and off.
Maybe something on the box, maybe not in those words though...
Or even a pamphlet in the box, or maybe not, people don't read.
Maybe put the modes that are included,
and that it would be updated for years with new characters and modes for free.
(Maybe it does, I haven't seen the box, bought it off Steam)
It is what does the year have to do with how many characters a game has? Vanilla SF4 had an arcade and that came with 17 characters, but since it didn't have an arcade that's probably the problem.
Still 16 varied characters is good in my book, I don't really care about numbers cause even if we add up some roster numbers from other games people would still be mad cause its not who they want which is why I feel 16 as a start is good enough.
I'll just quote myself.
There's a reason survival mode is separate from arcade, it is a different experience and a different appeal. People who are into arcade aren't necessarily going to like survival.

So 2000 matches for one character isn't grinding? Seems pretty much a grind to me.
Ermmmm I have bought the game and it lacked basic content. Everything else you said is now meaningless
