I figured this would be your response. However, none of this helps when I'm being shot by people off camera. I can be helping Alisa all day, but if I'm being shot by 4 different people, it's pointless. I get shot, fall down, get up, immediately get shot again, fall down, etc. It's brutal.
I'm hip to using circular moves and clearing out a lot of people at once. None of this is my problem. In fact, I didn't encounter any problems until I fought Anna and was being shot at so many times I literally couldn't even throw out one punch. So what's my option? I need to go kill the gunmen. How do I do that? Run against the camera and hope I'm lined up with the gunman to punch/kick him offscreen.
It's so frustrating. There's no reason why they couldn't have made the camera totally free forming to the right thumbstick like, oh, say every other 3d game nowadays. When I can see the people, it's fine, and I have no problem beating them. All of my problems revolve around the camera angles.
