10 Hated Video Games That Broke Fans
10. Street Fighter V
Street Fighter II isn't just the most influential fighting game ever - it's among the best games ever made. It's followups may not have had the same impact, but Capcom's biggest franchise has been regarded as a titan in the fighting genre for decades.
So, when Street Fighter V was released in 2016, fans were beyond thrilled... until they played it. Because of the limited roster, a minimal single-player content, and a lack of new features, it was no surprise when SFV received its fair share of criticism.
But it gets worse. The online multiplayer was so embarrassingly inconsistent, players wondered why the developers bothered having this mode available at launch. There were also glitches that caused players to fly off the screen with little warning! Because of these unforgiving errors, Street Fighter V originally received a MetaCritic score of 54% - a pitifully low rating for what was once considered the king of fighting games.
Even though a lot of issues were fixed eventually, fans were still disappointed that Capcom dropped the ball this badly on their most recognised property.
