yea, SCIV was the better "game"

that is, it had more s*** to it.

and THAT game was pretty bare bones to begin with.

Man devs need to get with the times, you can't do this anymore with fighting games

well anyways, as I've said many times, SCIV was fine the way it was because there were no f***ing fighting games on current gen consoles back then. Unless you counted DoA4 and Def Jam Icon. and I don't. Ugh.

but they actually REMOVED stuff from the sequel. good lord

lets see here, SCV had that crappy story mode where they force characters on you and the game only has one ending

and like I've said in the other topic, the game's cutscenes are done with "Slideshows"
but unlike SSFIV and MvC3, the images aren't complete, they're a step up from rough story board draft drawings, they're like stylized sketches,.but I mean, COME ON, color them at the very least. Its also embarrassing how they try to add like, footsteps and various sound effects and stuff as if it WERE animated or in motion.

and to top it all of, they actually, inconsistently, sprinkle actual rendered motion cutscenes into story mode from time to time. I think this is a sign this game was rushed. and yea, story mode doesn't answer anything. it doesn't tell you what happened to Taki, Cassandra, Xiahuanga or whatever her name is, and...well, almost everybody! Ivy makes a Cameo, Siegfried is more of a plot device than anything, and it doesn't explain why Kilik doesn't wield a staff anymore. and the story only kinda revolves around 3 characters, the other new characters only get one scene then they're gone for good. what the f*** is this

now this would been okay if you could pick your character and they have their own story, but NO, JUST this one! <_>

now, if you didn't want to watch endings in SCIV, you could do the tower, which is actually kinda interesting, though somewhat frustrating. SCV however, only had Legendary mode or Legacy mode or somecrap. its basically an arcade mode style run through all of the boss characters on the highest difficulty. in the tower, it took a long time to complete everything and you definitely couldn't do it in one sitting. it made you think and it kept you on your toes. Legacy mode is just 30 minutes of REALLY hard matches. and it gave no indication that I unlocked anything from it, or if I'll get a reward if I do it with other characters.

AND THATS IT

Unless I'm missing something, thats all the game has. I didn't even see a gallery mode. the game doesn't have a shop. The shop was annoying, but you could at least see all of the items that needed to be unlocked. in 5, I have no idea what else I'm supposed to do to earn more creation mode items. we beat the game, beat arcade mode with several people, played several online matches and played several quick play matches (I beat Harada Tekken aw yea).

What else is there? what do I do to get more clothes and s***? I have no clue!

and I dunno, after creating a few characters, i think they actually recycled most of their items too

yea, I'm just chalking this up to the game being rushed.

Don't get me wrong, it plays great, I had fun, and online is definitely the meat of the game, as is with every fighting game
but as an actual "game" it somehow is even worse than MvC3
