What will be the first thing you do when you run SH4?

Kapitan_Phillips · 03-15-07, 04:29 PM

Answer truthfully!

tedhealy · 03-15-07, 04:35 PM

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

NefariousKoel · 03-15-07, 04:37 PM

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

2nd would be Sub School, of course.

rodan54 · 03-15-07, 04:38 PM

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

FIREWALL · 03-15-07, 04:39 PM

Find out I need to upgrade my rig.:rotfl:

Paajtor · 03-15-07, 04:41 PM

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

kiwi_2005 · 03-15-07, 04:42 PM

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

hyperion2206 · 03-15-07, 04:51 PM

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?!

BellJack95 · 03-15-07, 04:58 PM

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.

Barkhorn1x · 03-15-07, 05:13 PM

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

CCIP · 03-15-07, 05:45 PM

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).

PAW · 03-15-07, 06:25 PM

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.

Captain_Jack · 03-15-07, 06:28 PM

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.

Ark · 03-15-07, 07:42 PM

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.

Gildor · 03-15-07, 08:20 PM

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.
