I cant believe this absolutely sh!tty review from an almost non existent site has made it to metacritic...What is this?Some kind of joke??Some random review made one month+ later of the game's release...First of all idiot,if you ve played the game long enough and not just read random comments on the internet to write up your own,you will know by now that the FM that is offered now through extra battle is more than previous season.It is just not that brainless to obtain it!
Secondly, you said:"The least Capcom could have done is put a few extra costumes...".Again,i cannot believe that you made a review out of a game you never played actually and being that idiotic here to release this sorry excuse for a review!Sfv AE preorder had many extra costumes with it!Also:You said that AE it is not justified as a release since original sfv owners had for free,everything apart s1 and s2 characters.While this is true,i still cant believe that your way of thought is that problematic!So what,you idiot!!40 euro price tag is still way less than the s1 & s2 character passes + sfv!So what!!Its not like you lose anything!You still play everything a sfv player can play!AE REPLACED sfv in digital stores and shelves!!They are not compete which ver. is better you stupid monkey!So 7/10 for this game??Are you serious???This is a true transformation of a game...I was very harsh with them on sfv release but we have to reward them,giving all that new stuff for free and not gave up the game!!God!Erase this waste of space from the face of the internet!

Sorry that your idea of a 7/10 doesn't align with mine. If you check under the big number 7 you'll see there is a helpful worded rating for people like you to understand that I think this is a very good game. Perhaps in your own little world a 7/10 is the equivalent of a terrible game, but not me. I happen to really enjoy SFV. It seems you do, too, so your childish reaction here is just a little embarrassing.

Given you care so much about your precious Metacritic score, your opinion instantly becomes invalidated, but I'll go along with it.

FM:
Paying FM to attempt to win FM in time limited AI events is not a good mechanic. With some FM rewards locked further behind online fights, and no FM rewards at all from playing other modes, many people are not going to be earning as much FM as before.

Costumes:
I'm amazed you tried to praise AE for having pre-order costumes. One of the sneakiest anti-consumer practices around (there are plenty of them) is not something to reward Capcom for. Anyone buying the game post release will not get these pre-order costumes. Not a single costume or stage that was DLC during the first two years of SFV is available for free on the disc in AE.

AE is a sneaky release in the sense that Capcom could quite easily have turned this into an ultimate package of at least the majority of content released so far. Instead, the S1 and 2 characters aren't even included on the disc, and all costumes and stages are still locked behind a paywall.

You seem to be confusing the fact that I am happy with the new things like the arcade mode and team battle that Capcom's finally brought in, but given that is all available for SFV players anyway, the AE release itself should have been an ultimate edition release. DOA5 might have got a lot of flack for its array of DLC, but at least with the subsequent two ultimate editions following the original DOA5, they included hundreds of costumes on the disc, as well as ensured extra characters were included too. AE adds nothing new over what can be got if you already own SFV. To that end, this is not all it is cracked up to be.

But it's still a good game when taken on its own merits. Hence the praise I gave it elsewhere, and the positive score overall Smilie

Thanks for caring so much about this review on an "almost non-existent site." Much appreciated.
