10 Biggest Video Game Blunders Of 2016

9. Street Fighter V Is Released Entirely Unfinished

A trend in gaming that's becoming more and more alarming as it continues to happen, publishers have seemingly no problem shipping out an unfinished game with the "promises" the fixes will come in time, or even with a huge 'day one update'.

Street Fighter V was one of those games.

Released earlier in the year, Street Fighter V came with even some of the most basic game modes absent from the game. At release there was no arcade ladder, and fighting the CPU in a one-off fight was impossible. The actual story for the game wouldn't even be released until July, FIVE MONTHS after initial release, which goes to show how rushed out the door this game was. It also doesn't help that the story mode was lacklustre at best, mostly being a playable slideshow.

Almost any sort of offline play was completely nixed upon release simply to focus on the online portion of the game. With Capcom's Pro Tour coming a short time after launch of Street Fighter V, it's incredibly obvious the release was simply to appease the competitive crowd.

It's sad to see such a trusted franchise blatantly take advantage of fans simply based off how well known they are and essentially get away with it. It wasn't the first time it happened in the industry and unfortunately was not the last either.
