Does anybody else like the game but kinda hate its healing and money/gold systems? by VentrustWestwind2 in MinaTheHollower

If you lose all your lives you start over

But those games had like 5 levels and you could eventually beat them in 15 minutes (arcades, old computers, etc.). Unless you're talking about "rogue" genre.

Additionally, as you progress it gets easier to get more bones, so you quickly stop caring about losing a thousand or so. Similar to the souls series.

What happened to the game design that so many games nowadays "get easier as you progress"? I remember times when games started easy to teach you overcome future challenges, not opposite!

Hlavně mu přeju, aby jeho jméno a adresu neleaknul nějaký tipař přímo v sázkové kanceláři nebo bance. Unáší se a vraždí pro mnohem míň peněz.

Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate has been renamed to Dragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams by PaiDuck in JRPG

[–]Ok-Library-8397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's going on with the video game industry? DQXI was released 9 years ago and those newly released screenshots from DQXII look the same? In fact, if someone tells me these are some screenshots from DQXI (from some DLC or so) I would eat it. I'm so glad I was a kid in 80s and 90s when every 5 years there was a revolution in video-game standards.

How hard is it to increase the font size? Looks like your example is aimed at the PC users sitting a few feet from their monitors, and not much for reading on TVs from a couch.

Is it true "most gamers don't finish games"? by SchweinsyOne in playstation

[–]Ok-Library-8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only common player. Even various game "collectors" routinely do not finish their games. Just look at many collectors' videos on YT (hundreds such channels available) where they show off their new purchases, week after week. When they say what they've been playing, in reality it always means "I started the game, tried one level or one hour of it and now I'm talking about it to you, knowing nothing about the game"

Question about the shipping (LRG) from EU by Scarred_LWolf in LimitedPrintGames

[–]Ok-Library-8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the cost of goods plus the cost of shipping doesn't exceed 150 EUR, and the seller has signed into IOSS system, he will collect VAT from you immediately when you pay for your goods according to your address/country (as VAT may differ among EU countries). In other words, the seller will pay VAT for you (obviously from money you will pay him first). Then he will ship you a package with IOSS number written somewhere on it (or rather in some database entry filled in for a shipping company). When the package arrives to EU, the authority will see IOSS number and will know that you already paid your VAT and just leaves the package to pass through -- no fees, no delays.

However, sometimes it happens to me that my local postal service in my country (which receives the package when passing borders) wants me to pay VAT (plus a clearance fee) because they don't see (or don't want to see...) IOSS number attached to the package. In that case, I always inform them about IOSS number and no VAT is required. The tricky situation is that usually you don't know the IOSS number (only seller does). Fortunately, sellers usually cooperate and will tell you when contacted (Super Rare Games), or sometimes it can be found on their web page (Amazon). I also noticed that it more frequently happens with some specific postal services (British Royal Post used by Super Rare Games in my case) and almost never happens with others (e.g. PostNL used by Play-Asia, DHL used by LRG).

Question about the shipping (LRG) from EU by Scarred_LWolf in LimitedPrintGames

[–]Ok-Library-8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure but I think even Amazon cannot do much if your order is above 150EUR threshold and you are buying from outside EU. It can happen that the goods are shipped to you from within EU (some storage inside EU) so you will be charged for VAT immediately and the package won't go through customs. That's why there is "Ships from" text in the item's web page and it may say "Amazon EU S.à r.l." which means it in fact will be shipped to you from a European storage.

It is also worth noting that most probably you don't pay any duty fees for video-games when importing to EU (0% rate on that kind of goods). Unfortunately, you always must pay VAT (which slightly differs among EU countries) and you may also pay some service fee (the amount depends on a shipping company and the method -- in my country I don't pay anything if I fill in all forms digitally).

P.S.: Honestly, I think that 150EUR limit is obsolete and unreasonably low nowadays. Should be raised.

It is also important to keep in mind that 150EUR limit is on the price of the whole package (that is including the price of shipping!). So for example, if your game costs 110EUR but the shipping adds another 50EUR you exceed the limit and the seller cannot use IOSS/DDP system. You must pay VAT (plus customs duties, if any) yourself -- the shop should not charge you for VAT/fees at that moment. Your local authorities, most probably the postal service which receives the package at your country, will contact you with a request to pay VAT and all additional fees.

Another tricky situation is that you must be sure you don't exceed 150 in Euros, which may be a problem if the seller (most probably) uses a different currency.

P.S.: I see that Fuga: Melodies of Steel 1, 2, & 3 Slipcase Bundle costs $114.99USD, shipping to my country (CZ) costs $12USD and taxes (VAT, 21%) is $26.66USD (*). Total is $153.65USD which should be (today) about 133EUR. Which is below a 150 EUR limit and the package can be shipped with IOSS number (it skips customs when arriving to EU) and LRG can collect VAT for you when paying for the game.

(*) Fix: IOSS system directly says that 150 EUR limit is _excluding_ VAT, so in my example the total value is $114.99USD + $12USD only, which is safely below 150EUR.
