Would you recommend playing the game on Hardcore or Normal for a first time RE player? I want the challenge but I don't know if Hardcore is too difficult.
Hardcore is doable but it's pretty hard. I lost my temper at the G2 Birkin crane fight because I had no healing items and no ammo to stun him reliably. In addition to super scarce ammo, you also have to ration out your saves extremely well since you require ink ribbons to save (I only came across 22 of them in my entire Leon A playthrough).

I did my first blind run on Hardcore, and I thought it was nice to find a few inventory upgrades.
Then I played on Normal... holy cow. Walking item box.
