Hi, I like fighting games and the last time I played a Street Fighter game was when I was 10. Should I play Street Fighter V? Should I play Street Fighter IV? Should I play any of the Street Fighter/Tekken games?

if you want any semblance of single player content, do not buy this game

I forgot to mention that. The single player content is not just minuscule but what is there, like the survival
mode, is loving terrible

No it isn't. At least not in North America and Western Europe. You can build a quality gaming PC for the same price as the PS4. Keep in mind you don't have to pay $50 a year to play online.

Well, the cheapest build there is 465, that's still more expensive than a new PS4 - and performance might be shaky on a bunch of games. Which is another strike against PC, a PS4 lets you play every single competitive FG out of the box not named KI. PC doesn't even get some games.

Right now? It's bad but it still has more content than SFV. As soon as the June patch ends, that might not be true anymore.

If you enjoy SP and want a game where you could try your hand at multiplayer eventually, I'd suggest MKX. Injustice 2 will probably cannibalize a lot of its playerbase tho.

The PC listed can easily run any modern game comfortably, and max out any fighting game. Also as said before you also don't need PSN plus to pay online so the extra $65 or so is easily recouped.

I agree with you that the PC still isn't the best when it comes to fighting game support. It has come a long way, but at the end of the day Revelator and KOF XIV still aren't announced.

I recall Mortal Kombat used to put in A LOT of effort into their game's single player experience. Haven't played their most recent games though.

There's a reason why Mortal Kombat is popular and successful and it's not EVO, Capcom.

...for now, and it depends on how well-optimized they are, or if X game really doesn't like the AMD card you chose. I have a similar PC and MKX runs like poo poo. Hell, before I went to Windows 10 SFV ran like poo poo and I couldn't figure out why.

To be fair MKX is the worst fighting game port there is. Virtually every other fighting game port is competent with almost all of them being able to run on a toaster. My 2011 PC can run any fighting game at high settings at 60fps.

If you are reading this and are considering picking up SFV for $40 on the Steam Summer Sale but are concerned about a lack of single-player content, just wait a week for Story Mode to come out and see what the reception is; SSS lasts until July 4th anyways, at least.

please do not buy fighting games for single player. they are inherently multiplayer experiences. buy beat-em-ups like phantom breaker battlegrounds or download ragnarok battle offline or get guardian heroes or something isntead like code of princess or something

SFV is in the top 5 worst fighting game I ever played, top 20 worst game I ever played. After 300~ hours or so with it I can tell you, there is no repairing this thing, no amount of patches or updates will ever fix it, they need to delete the whole thing and fire everyone that worked on it. If you are sitting there with 40$ thinking if you should buy it or not, light the 40$ on fire or put it through a shredder, I guarantee you will have more fun doing that than any amount of time spent with SFV.

Like what would you say is the worst part of it? What has it failed at the worst? Fast and loose character designs? Random quality control of characters? Menu system?

this is true.

if you want a single player experience, try the guilty gear games since they have fun challenges and will teach you useful stuff to a fairly deep level. but really no fighting games should be played single player. whether you are playing sfv or world heroes perfect, try to hit up the irc channel etc

I don't understand people who buy fighting games for single player content. It made sense in the 2000s due to the lack of online play. But in the modern era besides tutorials and what not they are pointless. Well Guilty Gear does have some nice cutscenes in its story mode. But the story seems dumb.

The worst part is the fact that it's an online-only game with horrible online play. Everything else is really bad too though, to the point where if they added amazing singleplayer and added amazing netcode overnight, it would still be a pretty bad game, no longer a worst-ever candidate but still sub-par.

2 pages ago but um,I can't really agree that damage is really one of sf5's issues, and it has a decent chunk to choose from.

Combos sure.

Damage?
Some characters have trouble, like rashid even with full resources needs to rely on resets for damage, but otherwise nah

the fact that RBO was never hacked to have netplay and also that levels are a bit too important before you actually get the cool builds are the greatest gaming travesties. i say this in all earnestness, in the SFV thread.
