What is a worse release travesty? Street Fighter V vs. The Master Chief Collection

Isn't this standard for Street Fighter ?

Street fighter usually gets around 25 versions before it's complete.

I don't see the big deal.

Yeah that sucks really bad. But it's playable though.

So much this!

Don't make excuses for 1 hour of total gameplay in story mode.

4 halo game campaigns > 1 hour of total gameplay in story mode.

I'm not making excuses. I just said that sucks really bad. But let's be honest here. It's fair to criticize this game for terrible content, but you can't compare it to the functional state of MCC at launch. It's not the same.

By the looks of that excerpt from the review in progress SFV will be lucky to get a 7 on Gamespot.

Anyway to answer the question asked in the OP Halo MCC was the worse release, but that doesn't excuse the issues plaguing SFV.

Well this is pathetic.

SF5 released already?

I didnt even know it was out.

Im never gonna get it anyways so it can be a broken mess or it could get a 10/10, doesnt matter to me.

True, both are just great examples of big publishers taking the piss out of their consumers. And they know they can get away with it because of brand loyalty.

I see your point, it's functional, it's just there's hardly anything there. I get it.

Still, I'd say the MCC at its least functional had more functional content than SFV. After all it was the competitive MP matchmaking that was broken, campaign mode for solo and co-op worked fine, and that (for me at least) was the essential Halo MCC experience I cared most about. I imagine many people will like SFV if they're in it entirely for the competitive online MP, I imagine that is most essential for many of the biggest SF fans out there.

I know jack shit about SF but isnt it always like this with this franchise?
I guess the difference now is that the competition set the standard for content in single player fighting games while SF remained more or less the same as always.

Still not anywhere near as bad as a broken game like the MCC was at launch.

This is stupid, why on earth would you do a SFV vs MCC? MS didn't let 343 do a Beta test before releasing MCC untested, it was by far the worst launch release I played, not even funny. Sure I got MCC at launch just for the campaigns alone, but Halo as a hole was always about MP gameplay, then the single player. MS excuse was trying to release the game just for a holiday release, MS have always relied on holidays and how hard was to delay a game until tested bugs was complete? MCC was by far the worst release, SFV on the other hand, story mode is hardly an issue, it has Arcade mode so Street Fighter is a fighting game series, not a shooter so once again NyaDC, you are still trying to defend MCC and it's sad cause this was soooo 2014.

SFV works completely though so no, MCC did not have "more functional content"

There are no difficulty settings. It has a laughably easy and short story campaign for each character. And by short, I mean they can last anywhere between two and four fights from beginning to end... based on my experience, you can complete everything in the story mode, for all characters, in less than an hour total, by doing nothing more than repeatedly sweeping the legs of your opponents.

No, it lacks any meaningful offline material unless you're playing local versus. Competitive MP is really all this game is going to be good for, it's going to be a rather lacking experience for anybody that wanted to play against AI.

Too early to tell, because SF5 has not even released yet. I was not pissed at MCC because of the online launch issues, in fact I was expecting them as something that comes with the territory of releasing a high-profile online-heavy game.

What annoyed me about MCC was how long those issues persisted, and how severe they were. SF5 could be patched soon, and like I said on another thread most hardcore StreetFighter players do not care about story mode. It remains to be seen how Capcom handles post-launch for SF5.

Good thing it's getting monthly updates then and that stuff is coming sooner than it took for MCC to become half way presentable then eh?

I'd say MCC that was brutal.

Sure but the sake of SW's and GS it flopped.

Sw's has spoken, MCC was not only a flop it is the worst travesty.

@lamprey263: They did anounce more fresh out story content coming later. They should have delayed the game till then, easily 9s everywhere. The game actually works and fighting is simply brilliant. Drive Club would have been a better comparison for this. @NyaDC is confused sometimes. This is a type of thread were he would be going after cows for.

This is a bit late to be damage controlling.

I agree. SFV isn't release here in the U.S but already is in U.K, so this thread was unnecessary.

Its funny. 1 had an INCREDIBLE amount of single player content worth the 60 bucks by itself, but broken multiplayer for a long time. SF5 will have awesome MP up front but totally lacking in other content. Im a huge Halo MCC fan, but that was worse. It just didnt work as advertised.

Killer Instinct launched kind of like SF5, but they werent asking 60 up front and then to wait. Either way I cant wait to play SF5 tomorrow.

No, you mean you can wait.

That is the whole point of buying SF 5 :P

MCC didn't even work! lol

No, you people are trying to make out the player bases of these games to be black and white when they're most certainly not.

Not the quote from that movie that Id use for a nyadc post lol

Street Fighter V and Master Chief Collection aren't even remotely comparable in terms of how bad their launches were.

The MCC is over a year old man, no one even cares about it anymore. It's not even used for ownage anymore. Just let it go.

Flop no, Travesty yes, the worst travesty I would say no and not compared to SF, I think DriveClub was worse than Halo but SF will be fine, it's fallen in line with all other multiplayer games this gen, low content at launch and just add more in the months after.

My thoughts are that this gen sucks and standards are lower then ever.

It's completely comparable if you actually look at it like a rational human being, sure the games share nothing in common, but their releases do.

Street Fighter V is missing core features, content and modes, even worse ones which are rudimentary and the staple of the entire fighting genre. The Master Chief Collection had core modes which were broken due to match making bugs, thus making the feature essentially missing as its usefulness was non-existent.

They're two sides of the same coin, and the hypocrisy exhibited by this community has been nothing short of laugh inducing.

Free passes out the ass, this entire community is one long never ending joke, nothing ever gets held to the same standards around here, it's always a bunch of shitty illogical exceptions and exemptions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Missing modes, features & content = Missing modes, features & content

Broken modes, features & content = Missing modes, features & content

This is beyond simple to understand.

Well, features seem to be missing

But at leastthey got their in game store up and running!

Priorities.

This guy is pathetic, listen mate SFV is getting features monthly and has a release schedule but most importantly, THE GAME ACTUALLY bloody works.

The Halo Master Chief Collection STILL has game-crippling bugs in the SP campaigns today, like parts in Halo 4 that does not load the map and you get suspended in air and die. SSF V is bare bones at launch, but at least functions properly with what it has.

TMCC is much worse simply because there's no excuse for it to be this buggy this long after release.

You're not going to see me defending SFV's weak ass launch, but the MCC issues were far worse.

I find it really weird that SFV is doing what Splatoon did, but everyone praises Splatoon... Probably cause SFV is more in the System wars conflict between xbone and ps4

@aigis: lol, Splatoon got hit hard for it. People wouldnt hush up about it. Until it got good reviews that is. Shut up the haters real quick. Also Splatoon is a much larger game, and has a nice single player.

Is Street Fighter V a broken, unplayable mess? No?

Then Halo: MCC is the worst release travesty. Glad we could clear that up for you.

Splatoon got hit on the reviews as well. Its in the list of games that could have reviewed hire if content wasn't lacking at launch. That game should be in the 90, 95s not 80s.

@ellos: Yeah, had they had the extra content it would have helped in the reviews a lot. I felt the game was a 9 day 1.

I feel like I'm a crazy person for liking the comparison nyadc presented. It's not a 1:1 comparison, but I think it works to compare previous giants of the industry in their respective genres fall short at launch. Totally just me, but it feels like people are disregarding the discussion simply because it's nyadc and it's cool to bully him.

Halo is the worse offender, by the way. I personally think you should rank the package as is, and a broken product is worse than a limited product in my eyes.

Another baby brain discounting the entire other side of the game while acting like things gutted from Street Fighter V are not a big deal, hypocritical bunch of apes.

It's Broken.

SFV. MCC is a collection of old games. SFV is new, cost £45 and lacks a lot of modes.

It's an abuse that anyone can release a full priced game with the attitude of, 'it's okay, we'll release stuff later'.

How is it okay? KI got criticized for a lack of content even though it had a free to play business model and everyone knew the deal..

Dang it, why you do this Street Fighter.

You must have missed the wave of negative threads Splatoon received. The game was raked over the coals much worse than what SFV is getting. Splatoon is praised NOW and justifiably so, because it has much more content, a ton of it free btw.

It's looking like SFV is getting a free pass compared to the bashing Splatoon took during launch.

I cant be bothered to read this whole thread but that bit caught my eye. Seriously! That can't possibly be right? If it is then holy shit!

it had very little content at the launch and frankly the content there was passable at best with features that were missing in many (if not all) online shooters. It didnt get panned in the reviews for it and people seemed to like it, so I dont see why SFV would get panned for doing the exact same thing as Splatoon with a working online connection

@aigis: Sorry mate, SF5 is getting nowhere close to the hate Splatoon got. And go read the reviews, every critic hit them for what was missing. IGN even re reviewed it.

You can't play the computer? I'm loosing my mind here. How hard would that have been to put in! That's 90% of how I played it in the Snes days.

Holy shit that's missing too? Now that I think about it, I take back what I said about this post @nyadc. It is a release travesty and the question is legitimate. My vote still goes to Halo though. They should be more anger towards this especially on ps4. $60 for this shit.
