What's everybody starting with?

I was thinking hunter but this titan talk is intriguing me. I only played the alpha for a bit and decided to wait off for the game to come out so I'm not sure which route to go.

I feel like I won't know until I'm on the creation screen. I have 2 friends rolling Titan so that's probably out. It's down to Hunter and Warlock.

Titan. Definitely Titan. I struggled between that and Hunter for a while, but Super Famicom is going to be a blade dancer, and frankly he's a jerk. I don't want to be a jerk, so I'm going Titan.

So I've been playing the game for around 6 hours now and thought I'd drop my early impressions before I go to sleep

Positives

- it is a beautiful game, from the menu's to the skyboxes.

- The audio is amazing and really gives the game an atmosphere.

- Overall gunplay/abilities feel really tight and fun.

- The sparrow is my favourite vehicle ever. Zoom Zoom!

- Peter Dinklage is a cool dude, screw the haters.

- Open ended maps allow for self-set challenges like running through ??? levelled enemies.

- A lot of the content seems challenging.

- Co-Op invited or not adds to the experience and does indeed make the game more enjoyable.

- No connection issues besides the odd bit of a laggy squadmate.

Negatives

- The BIGGEST one, which many people have already said.. The mission design is horribly dull so far.

Go here, run through that place, backtrack, Press X to Ghost, defend Ghost.. done you have 5 seconds before you're forced to the menu.

- The beta was an exact replica of the main game. Bit nitpicky but I was hoping there would be a bit more stuff added for the main game.

- So far I rarely run into rabdom people, and it's only ever one or two people. I was hoping there would be a few more people always nearby.

- Loading times kinda suck.

- The tower feels kinda small, I wish you could see some of this amazing last city everyone harps on about to get more of a feel for it.

- Exploration still feels pretty. The world is pretty barren with very little to find besides the odd chest or hidey hole.

I haven't got all that far into the game yet, and I have only had a couple PvP matches, so this is all based on my experience so far.

It's more of a lore-based experience than explicitly telling a character story.

I'm sure it's not everyone's forte (and I already expect the game will get backlash for perhaps the 3rd time over for the same thing), but the world building is certainly there. They want you to take stake in the world rather than characters.

From the beta though, I think the crucial thing that was missing was developing a relationship with the enemies, which is what was very strong in Halo. I think going to other worlds is an opportunity to remedy that.

You're definitely right, but I just don't see the lore. The Grimoire cards aren't overflowing with information, and I just don't get the feeling there is much to the world.

But as someone who is more interested in an explicit storytelling, then it might not be the best experience, but at least the gameplay is fun.

But hopefully there is more to the world, lore and story then what we've seen so far.

Sometimes Destiny looks absolutely gorgeous, and other times...
an absolute dog.

Loving the game though, taking my time soaking up the atmosphere. So good, i just wanna slap it sometimes.

will the digital version have a day one update?
I'm out of the house when the game unlocks, can I make sure it will download the update automatically?

I'm in GAF. That glorious title screen. I'd like to thank everybody who supported me. And if you didn't thank you too. You only made this victory that much more sweet.

If we don't get to 20k before unlock, I'm cancelling my preorder, Office Space'n my ps4 and getting a game boy with camera and printer. That way I don't fall for an overdone, rehashed OT 1. Will print pics for proof. WTB printer paper roll

Welp, I managed to sign in twice, but got disconnected while making my character. I'm giving up for the night. If anyone actually manages to play this game tonight, enjoy.

Installing now. Probably the least excited I have ever been about a game I bought at midnight. Hope I get into it more than the beta.
