    UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2024 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

    A bit late and all but I've finally got around to ordering some stuff from the sale, not too much interested me this year but at least my wallet might make it through Christmas.

    PlayStation Retro Discussion (inc. PS3, digital PS1 & PS2 Classics & PS Plus Premium)

    For anyone who has PS Plus Premium, I highly and I mean HIGHLY recommend checking out the Timesplitters series when it becomes available, Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect are two of the best FPS games ever made, while the first one’s alright if a bit of a trial run for what would become the...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    So I recently, after a nearly decade long hiatus, got back into playing Guild Wars 2 and I’ve been having an absolute blast with it, the great gameplay and level design mixed with the social features of an MMO and a largely excellent community made this one very hard to stop playing, furthermore...

    The General Conversation Area

    TBH I don’t even bother with the alphabetical order thing, with regards to the space issue I actually came up with the idea of buying a disk bag from Amazon and getting rid of the boxes for shows or films that I might still want to watch but don’t want them taking up space, including some I...

    The General Conversation Area

    Personally I’d say that the best place for game preservation is GOG.com as they mandate DRM free and you can freely make personal backups of any game you buy there without any obstruction or consequences, so even if it did get shut down you can still play the games you bought as long as you have...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Bear in mind that the more limited stuff only gets more expensive when it goes OOP, I’d say the best deals I’ve ever gotten on anime are on the MVM clearance and Christmas sales, the AL Christmas sales and the Madman summer sale………… which happened in January…………. I think Frosty the snowman was...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    My first thought was that you can technically buy a gaming pc for that price, sure it’ll be low end but by today’s standards, that’ll still be decent, how the licensors thought that charging that kind of money for a single show is acceptable is beyond me, heck, you can live off that money for a...

    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    At this point I’d say that indie games are the way forward, AAA stuff is often managed by greedy executives who don’t actually care about the product they’re developing, only if it lines their pockets, I’ve yet to properly look over everything that was announced but I reckon if there is...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    If the OVA dubs are exclusive to the UE then that is quite frankly unacceptable IMO, given how the EU price of the CE indicates that it’s still way too expensive for what tiny amounts of content you get (not that I mind the idea of anime being shorter and more focused than usual but the price...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Another thing is how I might look at the artbook of a CE for like, 5 minutes and then move on with my life, unless there is something about the show that appeals to me personally, which is rarely the case with anime nowadays, or if the extra stuff actually has a purpose, like the contents of the...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    TBH I’d consider the usual 1000 copies as super limited, it’s just that they rarely sell out quickly enough to cause an issue, hence why we get some fantastic deals at Christmas which is the only time to be buying AL products 99% of the time IMO.

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    The idea of UE or even CE only releases always rubs me the wrong way, the collectors sets are fine when they are optional but forcing people to buy a CE just to watch the show is taking the mick, let alone an ultimate edition that costs almost the same as 3 AAA games or a boatload of indie games...

    What games are you looking forward to in 2024?

    Honestly, out of all the games I mentioned in the original post, I’ve only gotten around to properly playing Unicorn Overlord, though I do have FF7 Rebirth and seriously need to actually get around to playing it, I’m holding off on DD2 until Capcom fix the performance so that it can run at the...

    Your 2024 game announcement predictions

    First I’ve heard of Free Radical shutting down but it looks like the hype train has crashed for this one… and I was really hoping for another Timesplitters game as well. Regarding Penny Blood, I have heard of it and am interested so hopefully it’ll turn out well, if it can be almost as good as...

    Your 2024 game announcement predictions

    Thanks. If you’re interested, there’s a thread in the creative arena on this site called “About that game I’ve occasionally said that I’m making” it’s only got a few very early screenshots of an older build that was from before I decided to start over but it might be interesting to see...
