Controller
Begin with a comfortable response curve, deadzones that match your hardware, and an aim sensitivity you can hold consistently. Settings should be tuned with a repeatable drill, not copied blindly.
Graphics and visibility
Prioritize stable frame pacing, readable shadows, and a field of view that does not make targets too small. Record the exact platform and display before comparing settings.
Audio
Separate effects, dialogue, and music so footsteps and objective cues are not competing with the mix. Re-check after every major audio patch.
Accessibility
Keep subtitles, color filters, motion reduction, and contrast options visible in the guide instead of treating them as edge cases.
