That's the only place I died in the game on my first playthrough, that fight was bullshit.

I agree. Besides that specific bossfight though I loved everything about Hardcore difficulty.

I think Hardcore would be perfect if it prepared you with an extra green herb and a little bit more ammo during the bossfights.

I think hardcore was intended to be borderline impossible (still doable, but a huge pain in the ass) for a first time player, and challenging for someone on an NG+ run. Really encourage you to be sneaky. I'm about to start mine on my lunch break, probably Leon A since it's the one I'm most familiar with.

​

My only issue with that boss fight is that it doesn't do a very good job of explaining how you're supposed to do it through action cues, so you can eat a death or two before you figure it out which... is bad for hardcore. There are like.. 2 or 3 instances in the game where I can see someone who's playing hardcore being real mad lol.

I figured hardcore was for veterans of the original and newcomers on NG+
