First thing you plan to do? : Othor Games

» Mon Mar 07, 2011 12:44 am

Oh, I understand the use of it, especially if no one is of a certain class for a particular objective. Single-player won't be a problem if the AI changes classes as the developers say they would to suit a situation. (Hopefully, the AI are smart enough. Hate saving idiot AI all of the time in other games.)

Yeah, it's just more of a character thing for me. (Oh, look, my character is an engineer now all of a sudden, lol!) I like playing a certain way as well, so being forced to play another way can be a little irksome for me. (I play RPG's a lot, so that could be why, heh.)

I have a cruddy laptop that can't play games, a Wii, an old XBox360 and PS3 (most recent). I don't have cable-internet (for consoles) and I share all systems with my ENTIRE family (plus cousins and family friends and more). It's a Hispanic thing, lol. One big family. :biggriun: ...Which is why I was a little disappointed with the lack of Local Co-Op in Brink. My sisters and I have SOO much fun playing Borderlands and Gears of War together.

Just so you know psn is free, unlike xbox.

Oh, so you don't need any membership thing or pay for an account? (I'm SO confused about online play, lol. Never played online for gaming in my entire life as strange as that sounds).

Knowing me, I'll just sit in bed on character customization for days, with this look on my face:

Eventually I'll get around to playing the Security campaign, then the Resistance, then I'll take stuff online to test the waters (with my connection I don't anticipate being able to play online at all).

I am guessing that the first thing I will do upon seeing the main menu is hit the start button. I suspect that this is going to be the case for most people.

Nah. I'm just gonna let the cinematic play over and over again until the game gets so bored that it'll go to the main menu itself.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:09 pm

yeah thats true now that we pretty know all of the info that we will be able to find out except for the stuff they release at the GDC

Well it's the truth, right? That's a direct answer to the question.

True, but it can also be considered asinine. No offense intended......

Can and should are two different things. I've got my eye on you, now.

Most people, but not all.

PC players will most likely not have this option.

The "push start" screen is required for all console games. An SD dev actually talked about.

What's the alternative? Does it go right to a "load game" screen on PC?

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 6:56 pm

Nah probly be something more like "Start new game" Multiplayer" Options" Credits" Extras".

Press any
Press Enter,

Mouse click,

Press space bar,

Goes right to the man menue,

Those are the most commone for me, press anything, will be the one I think.

Just to refresh everyone's memory, this was the question from the OP:

What do you plan to do when you crack open the game and get to the menu?

Bear in mind I only gave a definitive answer for myself, but my answer was indeed the only logical answer that could be delivered for someone in my circumstances, which was press the start button.

If anyone else, like some who have already offered their opinion of my response, finds that "asinine," please forward your complaint to my inbox: BuckshotBandaid@Howsmydriving.com.

Actually you can see the main menu in one of the vids, either charcter customization or the one where they show you how SMART works.

Many times you do not have to press anything - the games just initially loads right to the main menu.

Because I love semantics- He did specifically ask what the first thing you would do is after the main menu loads.

And I wasn't responding to his question - I was responding to yours.

Oh, word. I understood. But if you go back read your original response to me, after I said that I suspected almost everyone would be doing the same thing I would, you said "many but not all" (paraphrasing) "because some people PC and such and such etc etc." Savvy? Not looking for a fight today, chief. (er, Captain, rather) Just let me drink my beer and walk outta here.

Customize the crap out of at least one character, then do play around a bit against low-level AI to learn the maps and get the feel for the game. Probably end up co-op'ing with a bunch of my friends who are also getting it day 1.
