If you don't think that's true you should go play OG or S2 and attempt some of the things what I mentioned. You might get a different perspective on the game
this. hardcore made the game way easier to play

granted, a lot of tricks looked sooooooo much better on normal mode anyway... *ahem*popovers*cough*
