I cannot name the amount of times I've tried to press escape and skipped a cut scene when all I'm trying to do is bring up the menu to pause. I'll add to this 'cinema mode' which some games have. Let's you go in and view cutscenes again. Should be standardized.

I don't think I can name one game without a motion blur slider, or toggle.

I personally love that Rockstar has been allowing this by letting people set up their own radio that plays in-game. I myself have 763 songs on my GTA V/Online Self Radio :V

Fucks sake this for me. Why the fuck there isn't standardization between games on this is beyond me. I have to go through fucking with mouse sensitivity on every damn game. This is part of the reason I died out of multiplayer tbh.

also, a standard to mouse sens values, a value of 10 should be same across everything, games made in the same engine usually handle the values the same which is great, I for example have the same sens across all source games, but this usually doesnt carry to diferent engines let alone random one off games with custom engines

Same do it some don't. Standardization would be great! I personally HATE when a game pauses when I tab to something else but I can see the benefit for others.

Toggleable, please.

I mean, in the same vein, just have age rating settings on games where applicable. Sometimes I want as much adult in my adult game as possible, other ones I want just good old fashioned fun. Overall I want sensorship to fucking quit it. Especially lately where they're going back to games that were developed one way and sensoring them when they do HD remakes. Fucking stupid

Even if some people aren't, no one is getting psychologically damaged by the sight of some digital boobs. Puritanical attitudes toward sex do more damage than seeing boobs ever could.

Oh, definitely.

Fuck carry weight. Fuck inventory management.

Unless there is a serious, compelling reason and they game is about that, let me turn off micromanage shit. I want to explore the world and dungeons and not worry about whether all the loot I can pick up is worth it or to decide each and every single item whether I want it or what I need to toss to pick it up.

I was with you at first, thinking you meant in a sandbox game, like turning off hunger/on hardcore in Minecraft, etc. but you're just whining because every moment isn't custom built to keep up with your personal ADHD/hedonic treadmill. The point of a game isn't to just give you a blowjob from launch to credits. If that's what you're looking for, you're looking in the wrong place.

I don't give a fuck if some pretentious asses "artistic vision" requires the player to backtrack half way across a level on every death or thinks a shitty minigame should be played no less than 153 times every play through.

Then just don't play that game or use cheats (if its a singleplayer game)?

I don't see why a game developer needs to intentionally provide an option to remove mechanics they designed a game around just to please someone that doesn't want to play the game as they designed it.

I'm talking about ones that are like one line of code being set to true instead of false etc

I don't know how many, if any, settings matching the true/false + 1 line of code restraints even exist.

If you can change a setting, even if it's a binary choice, someone had to think about, implement and test everything pertaining to these choices.

Depending on what kind of mechanic we're talking about and how deeply integrated into the rest of the game this mechanic is, that could be a big task.
