Does anyone else feel a little suffocated?

Okay look.. I know that the game is supposed to be cartoonish and colorful, but it gives me that same feeling I got when I played watchdogs, just way too much clutter. You've got this annoying AI thing in your ear, challenges constantly on your screen, the D-pad thing like I've never played a game before. All I am saying is that this game is hard enough to immerse yourself in and every 5 seconds youre constantly pulled out, go here do this. Every challenge I've done so far is boring as hell. Its like a guaranteed success no matter what, I remember rage quitting on the old games trying to do one challenge. If youre still here ill keep ranting, why should I care this much about outfits? I want a leaderboard to dominate.  Its a good thing the gameplay is this good, because they've got a lot of work to make this game feel worth the forced grindy playstyle. I thought the old games were great, they did not need to be fully abandoned.
