2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

Hear me out. A few games have shader installations that will usually apply any new settings you put down AFTER you restart the game, and a lot of other games have graphics settings that will only apply after you've rebooted the game.

I don't think it would cost developers ANY amount of money or any significant development time to add a "Reboot game" button (or toggle) every time the player presses the quit button, or give the player a prompt every time they change a setting that requires a game restart (like in both PC versions of GTA V).

I also think ANY game should have a "full potato" mode capable of running in older computers with NONE of the fancy graphics stuff that we have access to today, despite having a decent computer now.

Gameplay settings menus that allow you to turn off gameplay mechanisms you simply don't enjoy, or tune them.

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

Basically things like that and the Atomfall gameplay/difficulty settings menu

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. I want to be able to just turn off the unfun shit, and leave on the fun shit.

This is a game. I don't care if the developer thinks X Y or Z adds to the experience. If I don't, within reason I should just be able to turn it off.

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.

Games with third person peaking should have server options for first person only.

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

Color blind options even for those that aren’t color blind. Sometimes they add a different ui color palette which is fun
