Personally, I search for options for subtitles and the flexibility to vary sure button presses into holds, and it looks as if there will be quite a bit of methods to regulate these. The recreation will additionally provide a touch system, which I admire — if I would like a bit assist, I choose to show to in-game options as an alternative of scouring the net.
