Man, for someone to complain that UC:DF is hard on normal difficulty kinda shows how much hand holding there is in shooting combat these days.
I hadn't ever played a cover based 3rd person shooter in my life (so I had no frame of reference to praise or complain). But I found the combat mechanics of the game to be very accessible when I first played the game in 2008. And I managed to play through on normal without dying a frustrating amount of time. It was bloody difficult to get through the game on ultra-hard, but I managed it.
I haven't played the game since 2009, so I may have really thick nostalgia goggles on, but I loved the game and it is the game I think of most fondly in the Uncharted series. UC2 is over all the best game in the series, but UC;DF was a great kick off.
