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

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

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.

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.
