ok, so one gripe that I'm having right off the bat is the camera.

I think it's cool in some instances, but I've been hit by a zombie a few times because I couldn't accurately tell where he was around a corner, and I didn't trust myself to aim around a corner because I couldn't see properly

That's a gripe many people have with the first three games from the PS1 era. They didn't fix the camera until RE4.

The camera was done like that mostly because the first game was made before the analog stick had been invented. It was too difficult to have full 3D control with just the d-pad. A lot of early 3D games have control issues like that because they weren't made for analog sticks since the analog stick hadn't been invented until the N64 came out.
