HandsomeDead Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yeah I've got to be honest, having not actually played it yet admittedly, not having the full game ready is weak as piss. I feel like just about any other game and people would have their pitchforks out I think there are some pitchforks out, I've seen them, but they have been fairly upfront from early on that this is gonna be a platform they're gonna build on so it's hard to get too mad about it. It's certainly not ideal for every early adopter so I guess you just have to be a bit savvy at this point. You can tell what they're doing though. They want this out as soon as so they can get it out for this year's pro circuit as you can tell they're hedging their bets that eSports gets bigger, so by the summer SFV will have a spike in attention and by then they'll have a game that people expect. But to do that they needed it out now, at least for this year. But I am confident they'll soon get it fully featured. Along with Monster Hunter, Street Fighter is one of the few things Capcom have left so they'll want to get it right. They also have that Sony money to help. The two person lobbies they have now though are a massive shame. The bigger lobbies are due for March so I hope they keep to their word with that one, especially.

AndyKurosaki Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Watched the IGN review. I'm definitely waiting for this to drop in price. Its not got enough content to justify me getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Seems some are having problems with the servers. I've been staying logged in no problem, but it isn't matchmaking that we'll as fights are few and far between, which is unlike the beta. It's far from the weakest launch I've been part of but it's still a bit disappointing. It's a shame as I am totally sold on the game, I do prefer the direction they're taking it than to SFIV. Looking forward to when it finds its feet. I did have a good match with a F.A.N.G user. No idea how someone has that character down already since we wasn't in the beta. The guy is a pain, though.

DANGERMAN Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 No USB pad support (bar Xbox pads) still, which is just bewildering. It's the pc, I've played doujin games that have full pad support Edit: can't log in either, not the end of the world as you can play offline, but given that it's a bit limited they could really have done with the servers being up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Well I guess no opponents are showing up for me because loads can't log in. It's all clear now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I might have just logged in. What are people's names on there, I'm searchable as Dangerman or my Steam login (dunno is ps4 players can search using that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Nope. I might have just logged in. What are people's names on there, I'm searchable as Dangerman or my Steam login (dunno is ps4 players can search using that?) Mine is LeighD. I tried searching for you and nothing is coming up yet.

HandsomeDead Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Can't seem to create lobbies. Oh dear, this is a bit of a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've managed to add you two, but it does exactly the same as in the beta, which is nothing. Think I might just concentrate on the PSG v Chelsea match for tonight and hope it's all up and running properly tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Street Fighter V, more like Street Fighter Alpha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 that's sort of good, but because there was a Street Fighter Alpha I feel like it just causes confusion. Sorry Jim, I want to say yes, really, but I just can't also, you 2 might have not been able to find me because I technically hadn't managed to make it online at that point?

DANGERMAN Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 both the British characters swear, which is pretty accurate tbf also, because my pc went in to sleep mode last night my pad, which I have to run another program for Street Fighter to recognise it, now isn't recognised. Actually that's not true, I can skip the title screen and intro, but it doesn't work on the menu. I know it's going to get better but this is a shambles as things stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Listening to the bombcast today, it sounds like it's basically an Early Access game, just without that title. Also sounds like it won't have all the features until June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'd be okay with the current content if it just worked. I did end up doing all the story mode last night. It does just seem to be scene setting for the story mode dropping in June, that's why it's brief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 If I wasn't in work I'd post the details of the fight money stuff. But But apparently playing through all the story mode is enough to get a new character but it only works once, so you can't farm. After that, completing survival mode with everyone gets you some, winning 2000 fights will be enough for a character. Then there's daily challenges eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 He always has been. He wears a mask to protect his beautiful face and he just likes other beautiful things, it's his shtick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 In the story mode some characters outside of the cast turn up, some of them are confirmed for this year, like Guile and Balrog. But so do Sean and Sakura. It does give me a glimmer of hope that Sean is gonna be in it sometime. Yeah, he is mostly another Ryu clone from Third Strike but I think he had some fun things as well. The slam dunk after a dragon punch for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 DP The online is working great now and has been all afternoon. Glad it was an easy fix. Anyone up for some fights tonight? I also played the normal survival mode. It's 30 fights and you unlock some new colours for your costume and I got to fight 30 without much trouble but at the end you fight that son hoffa beech Bison and he took me out in 7 seconds. I was like that - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 good games DC, you're much better than I am, you properly know how to play When we first started the match and it showed you as a defensive player I thought that was a bit odd, but it really seems to just mean that you're waiting for a mistake. I wonder if it will balance out once there's just the dedicated playing kind of disappointed that the matches I won were with Ryu. I've been trying not to play as him because I always do, but he's so ingrained I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
