If your game supports controller give me the option to change the button faces to whatever I prefer. Some people like Nintendo button layout, others PlayStation, other Xbox. Whatever it is, don't hard code one set - they're just some pngs, support them all.
Ohh, that type of setting.
One option I really appreciated in Uncharted 4 was the ability to restart cutscenes, and I wish it was in every game with cutscenes.
Pause and save during cutscenes.
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.
Every game should have the option to toggle motion blur off, toggle frame gen and upscaling off.
I don't think I can name one game without a motion blur slider, or toggle.
I'm not sure about every game but I'd like to see a lot more games do what Rebel Galaxy did and let you set up paths for custom OST. No game dev can license the perfect soundtrack for every player, but it's great to be able to slot in what I feel makes the perfect soundtrack. Some people want their fight scenes to be scored with DMX, some want Burzum, and some want the Cronos Quartet. Let them all find their moment.
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
Enterable values for mouse sensitivity.
No sliders.
I'm talking, down to at least the thousandths place decimal, and up as high as I fucking want. This allows your mouse sensitivity to not only account for how you play, but also how everybody else plays.
And if you're one of those devs that has the aiming be different than mouse cursor, or even MULTIPLE mouse cursor speed settings, HAVE ENTERABLE VALUES FOR THOSE TOO!!
Sometimes I'm at 1% and it's too high still.
Sometimes I'm at 1% and it's too low and 2% is too high.
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
Pause on focus loss/main menu. It's so simple, but often missing.
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.
An FOV slider. I don't care if you're a 2D game, you're honoring totalBiscuit

Nude mode. We're all grown ups here.
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.
