After finishing three of the campaigns, I think RE6's core combat is actually great. It's a pretty good evolution of RE4's combat and plays nothing like Gears or Call of Duty. The controls may be similar but the tools at your disposal are different.
RE6's problem is that it's dragged down by some downright clumsy design oversight and some sections of pretty awful level design. The first two chapters of Jake's campaign (what Jeff played) are indeed pretty bad, but in my opinion the quality skyrocketed once Jake chapter 3 started. Chris' and Leon's campaigns are similar - great much of the time, but dragged down by some really shitty gameplay here and there. The sheer size of RE6 probably ended up making it a game of both highs and depressing lows of quality.

That's why I don't play RE games any more.
