Your first hour or two on Destiny
Ok, so you've got back from Game with your Ghost edition, or the download on your Digital Guardian has finished. Tell me about how you're going to first start this game. Or does your excited preparation even run before you've picked the game up and you're readying yourself and your room/setup for it?
For me it'll be a little different to those retro games we used to be so excited to play on Mega Drive or PS1. The first MGS I read all through the manual with the intro on repeat at the Start screen. Something a little closer to home, maybe, Vanguard I spent far too long on character creation and then walked slowly around the 'starting area' absorbing all the flora and fauna (while killing massive centipedes that agro'd, of course)
Destiny?
Well I'm in a little quandary as I'll be driving back from a photoshoot at Spa Francorchamps on the Monday evening so my excited plan in my head starts by picking up my Ghost Ed from a mate who's collecting it for me at midnight. Head home and start the install as my girlfriend will be fast asleep at 3am. While it's installing I'll be absorbing as much lore and information in the books and cards in the Ghost Ed box. I'm thoroughly looking forward to reading all the piles of info they'll cram in.
Once the game has loaded I pretty much know what my Guardians (Warlock main and Hunter alt) will look like as I played endlessly in the Beta - stupidly haha. I can't decide how quickly I'm going to run through that first mission, but the next story missions I'm going to take my time on, intentionally playing very carefully and not missing a single shadow, light beam, fallen headshot.
I hope this will set a mental reminder of how carefully and appreciatively I used to play Everquest, Vanguard (I miss this game) and at the beginning WoW and set me on a good slow path through the game.
I'm not going to miss a thing!
Over to you guys! How do you see your first few hours around this game release?

Play through the story and possibly strikes if they are level-based as we reach their levels, with my fireteam whom I have never met nor played with before because I met them through my new Destiny clan for australian PS4 players. Given that I didn't play Beta, it's ALL gonna be new and interesting :p

Still waiting on the PSN store for my digital copy because their jerks and making me wait two hours past my timezone for PST time.

After I downloaded my DGE? Probably sleep while its downloading. Then when its midnight and I can play, I will probably be sleeping again. I will wake up in the morning like I always do, drive my daughter to school. Once I get back, I will probably pick up my controller, and turn the power on the PS4. From there I will go into Destiny. Once I am in Destiny, I will continue through the menu to the point where I create my character. Once I get there, I will probably go back and forth between Titan and Hunter, which will take about 3 minutes. Ultimately, I will take the Hunter. Once I am in there, I will probably take 5 minutes to make my character because I want to mess around with all the settings. Once that is done, I will watch the required video that will play that sets up the Destiny universe and then places me in control of my character. Once I have control of my character, I will complete the objectives that I must. I most likely will kill several enemies during this mission. I imagine this will take up the first hour.

The first couple of Hours I will be reskining my ghost. Then I must try the Vanguard Army's guns. Then I will settle down and probably loot chests to grow some Currency. I will spend some time working out if Bungie changed anything from the Beta like controler layout etc. It will be very good to return back to my second home Destiny.

For me it's the midnight launch and 12 pack of beer :) I'll only take a break from gaming to watch the new episode of sons of anarchy :D
