Notice: Message from Capcom: We are aware of an issue that some customers may be experiencing during game installation which is related to Games for Windows LIVE. We are temporarily disabling the purchase option on Steam while we investigate the matter further. We will keep you informed of the progress of the investigation. Thank you for your patience. Care to inform us how this investigation is going capcom? I don't think anyone expected a patch overnight after such an announcement but 2 years without a word is a bit absurd... Good game tho. Edit; 4 years.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whist I recommend the gameplay it's self, I do not recommend buying this title, as it's broken. I have made a ticket asking Steam to Put a warning up so people do not buy this version... like me...and waste good money that could be spent on a working Beat Em Up. The game it's self is marvelous! It's pure greatness, as you'd expect from SF!....But.... 1) The game doesn't work unless you rename a file in the game directory (The fix is at the end of my review) 2 ) Once you've sorted that and launch the game...you can play fine....but.you are unable to save any progress, because Games for Windows Live is dead. So any characters you unlock are lost... I am so dissapointed by this purchase. I really was looking forward to spending a few nights unlocking content, but not like this... One can only hope Steam do something to fix this fiasco =( Personal rating: Great game, crappy services embedded into it ruining it Percent Rating: 95% if it worked properly, but as it stands 5%.... --------------------------- The fix to make the game launch below... 1) Go to the game folder C:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Street Fighter IV 2) Find the file in that folder StreetFighterIV.exe.cfg 3) Change it's name toStreetFighterIV.exe.cfg.BAK 4) Then try to launch as normal, it should work. 5) If that doesn't work, install GFWL from the exe in that same folder and try again. 6) Enjoy your game till you realise you can't save progress 7) OPTIONAL STEP: Curse profusely at the fact you spent good money on a broken game...:

I will no longer buy any Capcom published games as they're adding DRM post purchase. It is unacceptable to add DRM to a game if it wasn't disclosed on the store page at the time of purchase. This should be against Valve's policy for their store and it makes me wonder why I bother buying games here if I can't trust that a misguided publisher won't break support down the road, sometimes years or even over a decade after release in some cases. What a load of crap!
Note: This game been tried out and reviewed in Steam offline mode or on Consoles. Street Fighter 4 is a fantastic action game. Those who are new to Street Fighter genre will also find this game addictive. For beginners, Training mode Command list which explains the moves & combos of each character is easy to understand & learn. Challenge Mode includes Time Attack, Survival & Trial Mode. SF4 has 25 characters which include old ones like Ryu, Ken, etc. & new ones like Rufus, C.Viper, El.Fuerte, etc. & two Secret characters i.e. Akuma & Gouken. Gouken [Shen Long] is the elder brother of Akuma [Gouki] & teacher of Ryu. New feature includes the Ultra Combo i.e. Revenge Gauge This game is actually 2D rendered in 3D graphics. Controller/Joystick is recommended Playing this game only with a keyboard can be tough & troublesome. Overall: a fantastic game & Highly recommended.
Capcom being evil again with their anti-modding stance. Do not support companies who have such disdain for PC gaming.
Crapcom Adding DRM to their Games to make them unmodable and RUINING PERFORMANCE is unacceptable. Go sail the seas for this game until they remove it. I'll be leaving this review Negative until removed. ________________________________ Its really weird how CC release a whole new game for what could just be DLC....
IT'S SUPER DYNAMIC COOKING TIME ... EVEN WITH USFIV BEING AN OPTION,, THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED. THIS WAS THE GENESIS. TO GET THIS GAME TO WORK ALL YOU NEED IS "XLIVE.DLL". ONCE YOU HAVE IT SIMPLY DRAG IT INTO THE ROOT DIRECTORY OF SFIV. THEN YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THIS "XLIVELESS ADDON" THING I FOUND THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SAVE YOUR GAME WITHOUT GFWL. XLIVE.DLL- https://www.dll-files.com/xlive.dll.html LINK TO XLIVELESS ADDON- https://bitbucket.org/ThirteenAG/xlivelessaddon/downloads/ THIS GAME IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME. IT SITS CLOSE TO MY HEART ----> <3 I HOPE THAT I HELP ANYONE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THIS GEM TO WORK PROPERLY!
If you're looking for a top quality 2D fighting game, you've found one with SFIV. An excellent addition to the most famous fighting game series. Welcome appearances of the major characters of old and some new ones aswell. Superb graphics and sound. Still, it is difficult to master even just one of the game's characters and you may be put off fighting the high level of online opposition.
Don't buy this game. Its not playable anymore because of GfWL. Buy instead Ultra Street Fighter IV, which is connected through Steam, not GfWL.
Can't play it anymore. Booooooooo
