Got this at base.com for the same price a while back might still have it.

do yo have to have ps+ to play online?

also still £15.99 on psn for digital.

The fighting mechanics are very solid. I don't really do online gaming so I've mainly been working through the single-player modes and enjoying it. It's a fun game that to me feels closer to SFII (still the gold standard) than SFIV did.

It's an irritation that you have to earn points to unlock a lot of the characters and stages, though. It will require quite a bit of playing if you want to get the entire roster and extras (costumes, etc.).

do you need ps+ to unlock them? like fifa 17. annoyed me so much that i sold my fifa.

amazon review. think I'll pass until it's stupid policy changes or it gets down to £5 clearance bin price.

you get 16 characters and can then pay to get the rest or 100,000 points to buy each one. Apparently compleating the story on easy gets you 10,000 points so thats 10 times to unlock one. That does seem like a pain but not as bad as that review makes out

Cheers.

I've barely played it and had enough to buy Akuma, and I'm not far off being able to afford another new character. As pointed out above, the maths on display here is absurdly negative/ignorant, as there are other, easier ways to earn currency.

Let's not forget that Street Fighter 2 had 8 characters originally, 12 including bosses, and Super Street Fighter 2 had 16. Here, you get 16 out of the box. With a little patience, it's not hard to unlock more. The 2016 season pass is currently £7.99, so that's 22 characters total. Or, y'know, just stop moaning and play the game :stuck_out_tongue:

This ever coming out on Xbone?

lol. maybe they changed the system since revuew was written.

I'll increase my biting price to £10 then

I'll admit that £24.99 for the 2017 character pass is insane, but it's intended for a small group of people who are crazy enough to buy it. For the average gamer, the availability of new characters (usually drip-fed) is simply incentive to invest a bit of time playing the game.

Capcom wants to keep the game alive until 2020, and while some of the decisions to date have been questionable, it's definitely improving.

Oh, and there are now Missions you can complete for currency, like perform a move X times, or win on a certain stage.

I'm by no means an SFV "fanboy", and the game isn't without fault; just trying to provide some balance to that Amazon review :laughing:

SF4 is better than 5. I stopped playing 5 in the summer. I still play USF4 even after 2 years.

Yeah, USF4 often drops to £7.99, or the same price for six SF5 characters, hmm...

No.
