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

    There are, but those numbers are skewed and misleading. Here's Sony's most recent financial data. Look at page 12 for the data that the gaming media have been copy-pasting for clickbait articles. It does indeed show that 78% of full game sales (ie. not including DLC or microtransactions) were...

    Heartbreaking news. Considering all the posts where you mentioned what she thought of the shows you watched together, she was like an unofficial member of the forums. Good luck with the preparations for the funeral.

    Lesbians, Tom Cruise, and princesses (oh my!) The item on the bottom-left is a box of trading cards, if anyone is wondering.

    The power supply on my PS3 is failing anyway. :(

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

    This feels like the start of an avalanche of potential disasters for console gaming and game ownership going forward. No discs means no used game market. That means less wealthy gamers have less money available for buying games, potentially leading to lower sales for new releases, which would...

    Anything can happen in the next half hour. This new Thunderbirds set is much chunkier than I expected. I'll need to rearrange some stuff to make room.

    Forget GTA6. This is what a real game looks like.

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    The cost per episode for those Sailor Moon sets is about the same as AL's catalogue titles like Naruto and Bleach, so that seems reasonable. It's just a shame it took so long for the show to reach the UK, since I already have all the Australian blu-rays.

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Nope. AL's priorities for this year seem to be Naruto, Bleach, 4k versions of things previously released on blu-ray, and cinema screenings. The neverending amount of the first two in particular is really clogging the pipeline. I'm trying to be good and not pester them about Macross Frontier too...

    The crossovers in Godzilla comics have been getting insane recently. There was Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla a couple of months ago, and there's a War of the Worlds crossover in August.

    For better or worse, Platinum's action games haven't deviated from the Bayonetta formula in the last 16 years. Expect two-button weak/strong attack combos and a perfect dodge that triggers bullet time. As for the story, it's apparently based on a grimdark graphic novel where there is only one...

    That was easily one of the best Summer Games Fest streams. A wide variety of genres on display, and some massive reveals. RE Engine has such a distinctive look that I knew the first trailer was Resident Evil instantly, but I assumed it was the Requiem DLC. It was a huge surprise when it turned...

    Masters of the Universe (2026) Good dumb fun. Both He-Man movies have seemed a little embarrassed by the source material, but it's interesting that they've dealt with that creative conflict in very different ways. The 80s movie distanced itself from the look and feel of the cartoon, cloaking it...

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    Yes, very surprising to see Dancouga available again. God bless. I wonder if there's any hope of a few copies of the Goshogun TV series falling out from between the sofa cushions.
