      I don't want a video options screen, I don't want to select the number of sound channels, I don't want a toggle for skipping cutscenes and dialogue, and I sure as hell don't want to have to mess with the camera just to get it in the "right mode".
      
      I want game designers to choose the right settings for their game, and just make the game 100% solid so that I don't hate them for their choices. None of this "player knows best" bullshit because that's a cop-out which makes it the player's fault when the camera is at a shitty angle instead of the developer's fault (which it is).
      
      Mirror's Edge was designed from the ground up for first person. That's the choice the designers made and I happen to like it a lot. In fact it's about the only choice they got right. Everything else about their level layout, enemy spawn placement, mission requirements, story, etc. was crap. But they totally nailed the first-person camera and sense of physical world-immersion.
      
      I would never, ever allow something I made to have a checkbox or a scrollbar for "Click here to make this game shittier".
