I posted something last night saying pretty much the same about getting destroyed very early on and ultimately edited it out once I played about an hour more. I no doubt felt the same thing when I first fired it up. I do not know why actually because now I am completely settled in and it is smooth sailing, but even playing and beating FC5 it just almost at first seemed like an entirely different approach. But I am finding it is not really. Just takes some getting used to for whatever reason. You may have very well already figured it out just as I did. A natural flow to everything just starts to happen.
Really enjoying the game thus far. I was super hesitant about adding RPG elements to things but it actually makes some sense. However I also have not had to grind things out, but the thing about Far Cry games is I do not mind doing things like outposts several times. I actually really like trying to come out with a new approach knowing shit is going to be more difficult. At least in theory. Will see how it actually goes down when I have to do it multiple times.
And yeah, the game looks amazing. One of my personal favorites graphic wise on the X thus far. It is just a pretty fucking game.
