Since the game went live already in New Zealand I had to basically turn-off Reddit. The spoilers over there on r/DestinyTheGame have gotten out of control... I already know too much about the game as is, and I really would like to experience it fresh for once! haha
I have heard that the first few missions can't be completed in co-op, which I think is a great idea. I like to take my time, look around, pay attention to the voice-overs and cut-scenes. The problem I find with doing co-op is that too many people are yapping the entire time and even when the cut-scenes play they just jabber on through them.
I'll be on tonight at midnight (east coast) while I'm smoking a pork butt and some chickens later on in the morning. Looking forward to a long night of fighting the Cabal... really hope the story unfolds nicely and peaks my interest. I'm excited to see the final product (still not a fan of the 2 primary weapons, but I'm trying to be open-minded) and get sucked back into the game.
