Just like the last one, go through the sub school.

I always tinker with the various settings on every game before doing anything.

2nd would be Sub School, of course.

First thing I did in SHIII; take a quick peek in the museum.

I picked the last option...I'll probably be hunting for that illusive Anti-aliasing touch. :lol:

Start a campaign and go from lowly recruit to legend of the waves. :yep:

I will go through sub school for 2 reasons:

1. I want to see what has changed and try out new feature without the risk of being sunk.;)

2. If I complete sub school I feel like a real officer who got his qualification to command a sub. It's all about immersion, ya know?!:lol:

The first thing is: Go to the museum to view all the neat vessels and aircraft.
The second thing is: Attend and graduate Sub School to be qualified for sub command.

Setting first of course. If the "look" annoys me for any reason I just won't be able to concentrate on anything else.

- then museum
- then sub school - I love tutorials - and I was always a good test taker ;)

Not having that dream system, naturally I'll tinker with the settings!

Actually, the VERY first thing I do will max out the settings and fire up a quick mission to take screenshots (and chuckle at how unplayable top settings are likely to be on my rig).

Sub school mission interspersed with a quick graphics change should it need doing.
I feel that the Tutorial of any game is a part of what i paid for. Gotta get my money's worth :).
Besides, I've played some games without playing the tutorial before and regretted the experience until i understood better how the developers intended the game to be played.

Actually, before I even install the game I'm going to walk to the Office Depot Store next to Gamestop and get the Pacific Map laminated.:up:

Max out all the graphics.

Start up a single mission.

Shut down the game.

Come here and complain about the lack of FSAA.





Hey, at least I'm honest. :)

When I find a game that lacks FSAA, I just force it with my vidcard software settings. Works every time. I suspect that this will be the case with SH4. I mean, how can the devs FORGET/NOT INCLUDE FSAA if they are going after the "hollywood experience" as they put it.

BTW, I will check out the school first.

A PCO must attend the requisite course first, so that's what I'll do...

It doesn't work in GRAW and it doesn't work in R6:Vegas.

You need to go read the 5+ page discussion we already had on FSAA and SHIV. Right now, it is all specualtion for the most part, but there is a strong amount of evidence hinting at no FSAA in SHIV. Some good information in that thread I mentioned.

Substitute "a quick peek in" with "a comprehensive study of" and you've got me.

Then the sub school.

Have a look around. Go to sub school. Play some missions. See what's what.

It's not like I won't be playing it two years from now. I have all the time in the world.
