As soon as I started shooting from cover in Uncharted 4 I related exactly to how Jeff feels about it. The reticle gets placed several inches higher on screen than I usually expect when popping out of cover in third person shooters. Not a huge deal though.
Really enjoying the story and characters. The gamey parts, much less so.
I'm am almost the opposite. I love the combat arenas. If you play it stop and pop style, which I expect Jeff to do, it's not that much fun. But mixing in stealthy swinging into better positions, or even jumping off things to punch guys in the face never got old. I actually wanted more of that in the first act of the game. The game basically doesn't get going until chapter 5.
