10 Broken Games That Are GOD-TIER Now
10. Street Fighter V
It is hard to imagine a bigger bag fumble than Street Fighter V when it first released. Mainly due to it being a follow-up to Street Fighter IV, which many fans consider to be the savior of the entire fighting game genre.
So anything less than "savior of its entire genre" was bound to be a disappointment. But even with that olive branch being extended, that doesn't change the fact that SFV was just flat-out not finished upon release.
On the single-player front, Street Fighter V shipped with no campaign, no arcade mode, and a survival mode that one would call barebones if they felt inclined to be insulting to bones. And then there was the multiplayer, which was the most egregious insult to fans. the standard number of player hosting for multiplayer lobbies in a fighting game is around 8, but SFV could only host 2. And that's if the lobbies worked at all.
This was a bit beyond what a simple Day 1 Patch could fix, and sure enough, Street Fighter V took 3 entire years before it entered a state that fans consider to be decent.
Nowadays, SFV has an entire fanbase, who - shock of shocks - are absolutely willing to pay money for it, now that it's an actual finished game.
