While I play SFV regularly again, as a game, not even comparing to other releases in FG genre, SFV is a fucking disgrace.
Here's just a few reasons:
- at release it was lacking a fuckton of modes and story
- netcode, lag or whatever you want to call it. One sided almost all of it. Stuff happening like getting grabbed mid combo, or game showing me (visually and sound) I hit a guy when he actually blocked it. Or the classic people teleporting all over the place. It's horrible and there's so many people with garbage internet.
- absurdly long loading/waiting times and downtime between matches. In fact someone found out that loading is locked to a single number/fps in this file and if you change it, it improves a bit. Shameful from Crapcom
- no key rebinding
- training settings are not saving, I have to set the bot to not get stunned and to block after first hit every single time I run the game
- someone can rob me of match victory by simply disconnecting
That's just some I was personally affected by. I never tried lobbies but I heard they're done awfully as well. It's just a bunch of these things that would really improve the quality of the game, but no. Capcom don't give a fuck, one and a half years and still missing basic features.
The only thing it does good is the combat and the fact that (mostly due to it's name/brand) it has a lot of people online playing. Can always get a match at your skill level. But I want someone to take the mantle of "the fighting game" from Capcom. They don't deserve it.
