9 Worst Video Games Of 2016 (So Far)

2. Street Fighter V

Street Fighter Ryu
Capcom

You can't get too annoyed about Street Fighte- actually, yes, yes you can. How the hell did Capcom think pushing this barely-baked concoction out the door was going to go down?

Sure, its multiplayer component is fantastic, the same old refined 2D punch n' kickery you've grown to love over the years - but everything else is either put together with the finesse of a Steam Greenlight project, or simply doesn't exist at all.

A story mode? That'll be coming months after launch. A basic tutorial with helpful tips for newcomers? Nope, not at all - but hey they've now patched in a menu to pull up, before going back into the trainer and remembering what you wanted to learn...

Lacklustre matchmaking options, microtransactions, no basic offline versus mode, no character select in between matches online - even a constant connection to a shaky server can cripple your progress if it goes down at the wrong moment.

I mean... come on Capcom, this is STREET FIGHTER. If one of the medium's most popular titles of all time can't get it right, I don't know what that says about everyone else.
