Maybe this is more Galaxy Oddity where it will fall into disrepair and neglect. But please update this thread with first things you do in Video Games.
Kingdom Hearts 2: the first thing you do is cross the street.
Afrika: the first thing you do is check your email.
To explain why the KH2 one is funny. There are a lot of cutscenes at the start. You are finally given player control. You cross the street for two seconds. More Cutscenes.
This might be cheating:
