It sucks but I trust them. The beta was good and we know this isn't a CDPR situation where they're hiding the product from reviewers and customers.
Fighting games generally peak hard at release and drop from there so they know they have one shot to make a good impression. The last thing they'd want to do is what SFV did. -
