Fighting Games

Aaaannnnnnndd another "mainstream" reviewer recommends not buying SFV yet.

Now, here's my opinion on the subject: Capcom wanted to attract more new people with this release but instead they decided to cut content and rush out the game, so it's present at Capcom Cup. But that will only be watched by hardcore fans and won't reach any new people. The tutorial is nothing more than a button check. The story is non-existent at this point, so there is no way for new players to care about the characters. New players will want to practice before getting bodied online but there is no way to fight the CPU in a proper versus match and not even an Arcade mode which has been standard since the 80's. So in the end, they only catered to the core audience which does not mind spending 60 bucks on what's essentially a multiplayer only title currently. The rest of the world expects more for a triple A release.

Also, I'm fully aware that the guys of Capcom thenselves admitted the lack of content at launch but that doens't really help since people are going to buy it and complain anyway (either that or they are not caught up with the news). *sigh*  If only they postponed the game's launch by a couple of months it would have better reception.
