What the first five things you will do when you load up SHV for the first time?

[JU_88]

ME... In the following order

1) Watch Intro.
2) Check out ALL the units in the Museum
3) Naval Accademy
4) Start a 1939 Career and complete 1st patrol.
5) explore mission editor and test the AI submarines to the limit

I got it all planned out .....Cant wait

[SteamWake]

1.) Check for a patch
2.) Play the game
3.) See if there are any mods out

[IanC]

You guys better also take some in game video and post it up on youtube, for us poor souls who probably won't be able to play it right away (I need new rig).

Find something to complain about and immediately post it here.

I think, I'm going to release a SH5 mod a couple of days before SH5 is for sale, now that I have seen some of the game data folder at the subsim meet.

Just for fun...

ME... In the following order

1) Check folders and files, particularly some texture files...
2) Start game and watch Intro video till the end
3) Set game audio and text to German
4) Naval Academy
5) Start a 1939 Career and complete 1st patrol
6) Check out ALL the units in the Museum

Interesting how many people have listed "install" as "the first ... you will do when you load up SHV for the first time?".

Me, I would have already installed it (hard to load it up otherwise ), so I guess the first thing I'll do is watch the intro movie. That should fill in 20 seconds.

Once the game finishes loading, I'll prolly stare a bit at the main menu screen for a few seconds. Having by then read all three paragraphs of the game manual (the remaining 30 pages cover Ubi copyright and the 1900 support number at $6.50 a minute), I will select the "Options" option and tweak to my desire, while being quietly chuffed that there are both malfunctions and sabotage options available.

I'll then check out the Museum, hoping to see an interface more akin to SH3's than SH4's. I will be disappointed, but not surprised, when I don't see a Bathurst Class adorning the Aussie Roster. I guess I should just be happy with the fact that there will at least be an Aussie Roster included.

Then I'll start a new Sep 1939 career and complete one patrol.

That's the first five things covered.

Then I'll exit SH5 and visit here to read all the complaints about Wolfpacks being either a) not in at all b) too arcadish or c) too few.

Then I'll spend the next <insert lifespan of game here> modding/testing and essentially doing everything *but* playing the game! First (personal) mod will be to remove the intro movie.
