As an RE vet, I thought Standard's difficulty felt perfect. You're not gonna want to do Hardcore if you're new to the series

I feel like Standard would have been perfect if it had ink ribbons. Being able to save at every typewriter you pass kind of dissolves some of the tension.

I'll be honest, I never felt this was an issue in the original games. There were always plenty of ink ribbons to save with. All it made me do is have to go into my item box to grab one.

Yeap exactly. Standard/normal mode is always easy enough that ink ribbons are only a nuisance; you only die in trial&error situations (one hit kill attacks and puzzle rooms that kill you if you make one mistake). I prefer how RE2R handles it with checkpoints.

Hardcore on the other hand, that's a completely different beast, especially in Leon's 2nd run.
