That's what you read the manual for... yeah I don't read it either. It's according what kind of game it is. I try to see how the a.i. responds to what I do to see what I can get away with.

Lol... I start playing the game, having already read the controls during the often lengthy initial load or install time.

I read the manual after the first time I play the game. I want to figure things out myself. :)

Move around and get accustomed to the controls. For example, Assassin's Creed and GTA IV took some getting used to because your standard movement is a walk, and you have to press a button to run/sprint.

I never read the manual either, pretty much just jump into the game and usually pick it up quite quickly!

If its a racing game I usually go onto quick race to see how it plays!

Watch the opening cinematic before pressing start. Gotta get myself in the mood. Hopefully it's inspiring.

Before i even think about playing it, I have to open the game before I get home from the store from which I purchased it. If I dont take the plastic off the game, open it and take the manual out before I get home, its bad luck. Dont ask me why, but my friend and I have been doing since we were kids, and the few times where we didnt open the game, something terrible happened, like it got scratched or the console froze.

However, once I am home, with my open game, I pop that baby in and just go.

Just get a general feeling for the character and what effect the buttons have. Normally though, each game has alot in common with others ive played so I can just jump right in.

But before I even get to that point, I check the options. Maybe theres something important... There never is, but oh well.

The very first thing I do is set the difficulty level to the highest setting.

Find out where I set it to the easiest difficulty lol.

After that I just see what each button does then go blow some crap up.
