Original, clunky form of the question:

What gameplay settings/options that some game genres don’t often have would make you more apt to play them?

    Pokemon : make a “I’ve played this game since RBY, skip tutorial” button

    Shooters : MTX in every corner of every menu need to go. I want an option that turns it all off.

    Full RPG’s : scalable stats option that allow a player to skim class options instead of 900 options per class. So if you want TPG lite it automatically just “levels up” your class for you.

    Games in general being over 60gb is an immediate “I ain’t installing this shit” - make minimal install package options.

    Halo : make an actually coherent story. This one isn’t an option or setting…

    Not technically gameplay or genre based, but god I fucking hate games made in Unreal Engine, because they often have a shit-ton of extra post-processing effects going on that you just cannot turn off. There’s been a lot of games that I’ve had to set down forever because the combination of bad FOV and being unable to fix the motion blur/ambient occlusion/film grain(don’t get me started) just makes them nauseating to look at for too long.

    Most games these days have these options, but some still don’t!

    Anything to help with motion sickness.

    Head bobbing, first person, motion blur, field of view, how fast you turn based on mouse speed but I always forget the name, others.

    Regardless of genre, if your game is single player but doesn’t allow me to pause when I have a distraction arise, then I likely won’t choose to play it over another game that I can pause whenever I want to sneeze or whatever.

    It’s not really gameplay but : not rendering me deaf when launching the game for the first time, games need to have their volume down to 50% by default

    Fixed/Classic camera for games in the Survival Horror genre.

    It used to be the defacto camera style for the whole genre. Then Resident Evil 4 changed into an Action Shooter and sold better, so now the camera style has basically died out in favor of the over used, bland, copying everyone else over-the-shoulder camera.

      I call that the console camera. It’s ok I guess for console players, but once you use a mouse it feels jank and broken. Camera glitching into terrain and just feeling Garbage
