While you all, guys, are confused about G right now, I am brightly excited about him. Screw Mayor Cody, President G is my champion now.
I don't think even president porpoise and tigerupherbutt can save V.
I'm tired of these "This game is ruined and now is dead" children. These appear in every game that got bad presentation, and always have worst opinion on it.
Your denial is cute, but the community has generally made up their mind, and the consensus of that decision involves SFV being played strictly for money in most cases.
That every game Namco offered in the same timeframe and venue handily outsold V by four to one is pretty much all that need be said.
Capcom got too greedy. I love SFV but when you pay full price for basically an Early Access game, and then have to almost re-buy it for the next two years, it hurts. Fighting games have always been a go-to for local multiplayer gaming, and when you're locked from all the characters in offline mode until you shell out the money or earn enough fun-bucks online, that hurts too. And to top it all off, if you try getting someone new to fighting games to get into it, they have to go through the whole damn paywall (they did make it convenient throwing in the first two "Season Passes" with Arcade Edition) before they even get to understand the painful road that is learning to play the game and find a character they feel suits their playstyle.
Its a fun game, but everything about its "packaging" is anti-consumer
the reveals were really cool but sfv just fuckin sucks right now, you'd have to make it an entirely new game to fix it. G and sagat being in the game doesn't fix stubby normals, abigail chimping, vt "comebacks" or anything else
Personally for me I prefer watching SFV rather than playing it and that's because when I tried to get used to its gameplay mechanics and doing combos (which for the record I'm shit at fighting games) just didn't feel right for me, even when I tried getting used to Juri.
This is what SFV is designed to be, good spectator event that generates hype. It's not supposed to be a fun, deep and balanced fighting game.
The lack of characters still is hilarious, I can't believe it launched with as little as it did, and the roster now is barely passable, and you have to pay out the fucking ass to get everyone. Let alone the lack of stages you don't have to pay for
G is basically Emperor Norton 2.0.
I love him.
I agree with your last two points, but 32 (I think I counted correctly) is a small roster?
Having to pay $120 on top of the $60 ($90 here) to get the roster to one less than Ultra SFV is absurd.
