Raggit Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'd complain, but I do not own that game, nor do I have any interest in owning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Oh, this must be a F2P title! In that case, I see no real probl... Wait, this is a full-price game?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdyb1 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 No wonder why that update was so huge. I have to give it a try tonight to see how bad it really is. If it's that bad, I will make my voice heard like I am sure that other players will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforunately a lot of the game feels like it is a free to play title but you need to pay $60 to get it (well if you don't get it on sale) Tons of DLC packs, clothing, special Esports stages, and character season passes.

Slug Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Is this really a problem since it's not 3rd party ads? I mean, it's Capcom promoting SFV DLC and tournaments. Nintendo does the same thing just with pop-ups instead of costume adverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 It's not F2P, so that's bullshit. I love how 59.99 a pop isn't enough anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad thing is the ads are on the characters themselves not just like a loading screen. The bad thing is if you have the ads on you get more fight money and they bar off access to some material if you don't have it on. I mean if you care about any sort of artistic integrity in your game and that it's not just a huge ad to get everyone else to buy more stuff then it's a bad thing.

There's a reason you get a bonus for turning them on. They're getting players used to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'm not a fan of SF5. I even bought it twice with the arcade edition. I didn't like that I had to play online to get fight money to unlock stages and characters and outfits. I just get my ass handed to me online. I don't want to have to play a game a bunch to unlock playable characters in a fighter. I know I could pay money to unlock characters but where does that end?

Hurdyb1 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I played SF5 for a little bit with the ad stuff on. It didn't bother me personally burn them I watched a you tube video about the sponsor ads and how it could ruin the aesthetic for some characters and stages which I never saw in my time playing. While not major right now like @Xbob42 said in one key word, yet. Capcom is testing the waters and I'm very vocal about this BS not being games let alone one of my favorite franchises. This crap has got to stay out. I hope that the SF gets vocal like the Battlefront community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo1518 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Here's the thing about SFV and the ads. Street fighter is already super fucking tacky as it is. The menus, the music, the characters, the fan service dlc, it's all incredibly tacky. The UI was designed by a team of people who all deeply despise functional menus. With all the design gore that goes on in this game, it's really very impressive that these ads somehow stand out as even more awful than just the status quo. I mean they look downright ridiculous. Visually, it's offensive to the eye and kind of surprising how little Capcom cares for its own character design that they'd mar them with this garbage. And this is just from an aesthetic standpoint, nevermind the slippery slope of these ads in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean how Dhalsim wears skulls of children from his village that died from the plague? Didn't stop 'em from poppin' one of these bad boys on there!

jaethos Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I thought it was just on the menu screens or something. These pictures are hilariously bad. They look like photoshop jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
