Can be a letdown (actually, not for me, i love the 3rd of arkham) but theres something you must agree: it has QUALITY in every aspect, design, art, material...
 
In the other hand, im with you, the sky is not falling... just we are seeing how FFG is drowning slowly (people abandon the ship every year) and well... everyone here grow with this amazing games... so we are sad when we see the long shadow of asmodee over the "soul" of this publisher

Ok but Im not talkin bout "realistic"... im talkin bout making good art.

Thats the idea qhen you renew the art direction of an entire IP. But heres is not the case, they didnt achieve that... Theres nothing in the backgrounds of the characters, theres no universe or climax... the tiles, o my god, seems like generic tiles from shutterstock, using premade textures from photoshop 5.1.... and the water... oh my god the water!

good luck with your setup with all that ugly cardboard around the table...

this is also a matter of taste and personal opinion.
To me the apps in boardgames are a trend from the past... this apps didnt add anything interesting in boardgames beyond "setup manager" or stupid things as "enemy rolls dices"... nothing that a good board game design can make by his own.
the future in boardgames is to keeping this wonderful magic without the digital, theres the magic... Thats why i love boardgames and videgames bored me...
And yes, is a personal opinion of course, but this is FFG (not sure anymore) and i grow with the best ameritrash designs in history, this hobby is amazing... i dont want app only driven games, not only in my shelves, i dont wantit in the marker.
 
 

indeed... this born as a "forgeatable game"

this happens when a company disconnect with the audience totally....
very bad art and design
poor concept
app mandatory driven - this is a videogame with toys?
the game lenght didnt respond to the modern era
expensive as ****
zero original
and they call it the "definitive" dungeon crawler?
 
i mean... comeon.... everything is bad with this ¿"game"?
 
 
and im not a troll... i spend this last days hyped as **** with this announcement...

As i see so far at this moment, The app comes when the game designers cant express with ideas some board gsme mechanics. In my opinion, the games that uses apps feels "prosthetics", the implementation is very very poor. 
 
Also, the real magic, IMO, in board games is the analogic sense, the "human" component is vital.
 
Apps? not for me, and romantically speaking, not for anyone: the apps can kill the tabletop.
 
Cheers everyone

I hope some day FFG would be transparent and honest and say why they cancel so many product lines. Im starting to believe that the "poor seeling" is just crap that they said.
WHQuest/HoT
Runebound
Battlelore
WH Diskwars
BBTM
.... and many more

This is amazing, and only can be achieved by board games.
You only need an stupid update of software, or incopatibility between hardware and software, or just simply dont have electricity and you cant play any of this hybrid antique trendy-for-a-short-time games.
We all need toncome back to the great old ones. Hours and hours of fun... actually, we need to buy less, and play more!
Sorry for the offtopic.

Your opinion is welcome. Maybe you are right, but less made me ran away from video games.
I may continue to play but as films and vidéo games I will play no more than 1 or 2 new ones a year ans focus and old but greater games

Calm down and read first before write. I didnt say "this is a Bad Game" i say "this is a bad product". Its very different. And is why a lot of people are is worried, cause we know this publisher, and we see how they take wrong desitions based in DO NOT HEAR what some fans have to say. They only hear the blind fanboys. 
That being said, i understand that this publisher has games for different personalities, and this is not for me, luckily. But at the same time i can have my opinion on this as you have yours.

I never play 1st or 2nd edition of descent. I simply use to love this publisher and i was waiting this new game and hoping to see something good, whatever the ip. 
Objectivle speaking this is a bad product. Im tired of explain every weak point on this, inthink the images and description speaks by himself.
 
Check there no "4 or 5" old grumpys, theres the majority of people complaining bout a videogame with toys for 175 bucks.
 
Sure, theres another games, we
move on of course, but this art and marketing direction is to be worried bout the future of Terrinoth and FFG.

good luck with your setup with all that ugly cardboard around the table...

Blind fanboying is just as disruptive to the community. Nothing like shutting down everyone who doesn't agree with you so you can blindly sing kumbaya. People have legitimate issues with the game. Despite what you may think, this is the sort of feedback companies want, not "OMG it's amazing and perfect ignore everyone else!!!1!!!".

FYI - I thought JiME was boring, had terrible art, and just recycled the same old race against the clock app from Descent 2e. Hard pass. 

Wow. Any enthusiasm I might have had after the sneak peak just evaporated.
The character art is ugly with a capital U. I don't care for this style at all.
App mandatory. No. The great thing about a board game is that it is should be playable straight off the shelf. No power? Light some candles and play. No internet? Cardboard don't need it. Can't find a device that has that specific  app, or it needs to update, or just isn't supported anymore? Shouldn't matter with a straight analog game.
$175. One Hundred Seventy Five BUCKS?!?! What are they smoking? No Fraking way
