I agree with all of your listed complaints, definitely hindering me from enjoying the game a whole lot more.

I did find Jake's campaign to be the most enjoyable after completing them all, drastically better than Chris', with Leon's coming in 2nd favorite.

WHat in God's name happened to this game:
1. Excessive QTEs.
2. Lurking 24/7 environmental death threat.
3. Unable to pre-emptively kill Zombies on the ground.
4. Wonky melee.
5. THAT DAMAGE you receive from being hugged on Normal difficulty.
6. SLOW RESPONSE time of partner AI when you go down.

I'm only in the first campaign and I already want to punch the members of the QA team of the franchise that allowed this to happen in the face. Then proceed to shoot both their testicles with a pistol.
