Never get comments like this. FM is better than no FM which is what most other games do.
Yeah most full price games you buy them, they let you grind cosmetic items for free.
Agreed that SFV launch was bad , but after AE I don't see how anybody could complain.
It still has a cumbersome UI, load times and the odd dodgy character model. Online is garbage.
Nobody every explains why FM is bad apart from "oh they give so little" and srsly those extra battles are a fkin joke.
FM is bad because a lot of this stuff should be attainable through playing, and not gambling in-game currency in skill-gated matches. Some extra battles are a joke, some of the battles (it's so complicated I can't recalls if they have another name) are rock solid. And the multi-fight gem system for timed costumes is
deliberately horrible. The game begrudgingly gives you currency but then wants to rob you of it because really, it wants you to give up and pay real money.
I agree they are stingy with how much they give you but I still think if it didn't exist at all the game would be much pricier.
No offence but it's a full price game. I don't know what you or Capcom think SFV does that makes it require so much more money to exist than GG or Tekken etc. Or GaaS games that are more liberal with their currency payouts (Fortnite, Siege).
If you just bought a Season pass like any other fighter you have more than enough FM for all the non-gameplay stuff like titles and colors or w/e.
Nope. Not true at all. I bought the pass. There was still a ton of content I couldn't afford - stages and costumes that aren't included. Such as classic costumes for those DLC characters. I could sit and play this game for five hours straight and not unlock a goddamn thing. That's why. This is just not true of similar GaaS titles where playtime, regardless of skill level, will earn cosmetic rewards or substantial currency. Examples:
If I play Smash for an hour, I'll unlock a ton of stuff.
If I play Black Ops 4 for an hour, I'll unlock a cosmetic item.
If I play Fortnite for an hour, I'll level up and unlock some cosmetic items.
If I play Siege or Overwatch for an hour, I'll unlock a lootbox (or increase my chances of unlocking one) or grind some currency that can purchase something from the shop.
If I play SFV for an hour... NADA. And the difference is I can try grinding FM in various modes - not only is it harder, but I know the game is fighting against me the entire time (literally).
