So, I was just wondering if any of y'all had picked this up yet.

Just started and went through the tutorial level and so far, so good. One cheap mechanic did bother me and that's how they can only jump certain parts.
Also, looks like the game is a bit expensive right now, so I'm hoping there's a ton of content. So far from what I saw in the inventory screen, there should be.

Might be cool to see a GB Quick Look, the dudes have been awesome on that part lately and I enjoyed every one I saw, even games I didn't have the intention of picking up. Make it happen, please.

It looked kind of interesting. I'll probably rent it at some point. If you ever get a chance, if you could put up some of your impressions of the game that would be great.

I was tempted to get it, looked at a few videos on youtube and it seemed a bit simplistic and button-mashy - is it better than that?

The First Templar? I heard IGN said it was terrible. I'll have to check it out myself.

I got it from Gamefly.  Think I'm on...the fourth level.  I like it for what it is, but I can totally see the guys just shitting on it in a Quick Look.

I saw some gameplay vids on youtube.  It's no Assassin's Creed that's for sure...

id like to see a quicklook

It looks like a mediocre European PC game that was ported to the consoles because the game box and vague description makes it appear deceptively as an Assassin's Creed clone.  So I think I will pass.  If the reviews are mostly positive I may possible rent or buy when it gets under $20.

It has no resemblance to the AC series other than minor story elements which AC borrowed from a myriad of other games and movies. I played and beat it in about 10 hours. If you're looking for a decent hack and slash game with a pretty interesting story and some hilariously bad dialogue, go for it. I had a lot of fun with First Templar and will be playing co-op with one of my buddies next week. Keep in mind though, it's not a polished game nor is it large in scope, it's a game that offers a decent amount of enjoyment for 10 hours.

^I second that minus any discrepancies. I'm loving this game. It lacks some polish, but overall it's a pretty grand adventure.

....you're joking, right?

So many good games coming out every week... I just don't have time to play subpar ones (especially subpar ones that are almost full price).

not at all interested after watching the QL. Too many good games to play

If this game came out at $19.95 it might be worth it.  And by worth it, I  mean the people who made it need food to eat and shoes for their kids, so I'd give them $20 to make sure their hungry shoe-less children don't die this week.

The game is really fun for what it is, but it is suppose to be something so much bigger. 
 There's no huge character customization, just pick out of a few choices of clothes and weaponry. The skills you can upgrade are somewhat pointless; other than Health and Zeal upgrades, you don't really need to buy any of the combo's, since mashing X button (Square on PS3) and holding it down every so often  is enough to kill everything, with the occasional block. 
I really enjoy it. But if you decide to get it right now (40 bucks at Walmart, and includes free DLC) then know what you're getting into: a pretty janky but still enjoyable game.

Are you guys serious ? the game looked fucking horrible on the quick look.

Looked and sounded horrible. The mixing for the voice-over was almost abyssmal. Reverb in an open field? A perfectly normal looking templar with a voice that would scare kids away?  Come on! 

sub-par animation on character models with some hilarious clipping and glitching issues (I'm specifically thinking of The Beast and all dialogue interactions in the quick look). 
 
I wouldn't touch this game with a pointed stick.

You know what?  Many games look horrible and are not that well made, but often those games often have some charm in that they do something different even if it comes across poorly.   As I said above, I would buy the game for $20, because I figure the people working at the developer did their best with the time, resources, and tools they were given.  The game has an earnest “we’re trying” look to it. 

yo, its $7.50 on steam right now. Now is it worth it?
