I get it, I'm a latecomer, but please can someone explain why the new player experience is this bad. After a few hours of gameplay I still really don't understand what I'm shooting at, what I'm supposed to do, how to customize gear properly, how the level up system works, and why I should care. The maps look gorgeous - the gameplay is fast and fun, but I'm loosing the motivation to continue playing because little to nothing makes sense to me.

edit: honestly received some amazing feedback - definitely going to stick with it a lot longer and try my best to accept it for its faults since the gunplay is fun and there seems to be something worth sticking around for here
