Introducing N4G Rewards

Update: The contest has been amended to pull from the Top 100 instead of the Top 50.

Welcome to N4G Rewards

N4G Rewards is here! It's our way of saying thank you for those who come back, visit and engage with the awesome community here. So, how does N4G Rewards work? It’s simple, all you need to do is login and then be an active member of the site by commenting on posts and discussing with other members. Each time you do, you earn points - which are then put in a leaderboard. You can even earn points by submitting articles.

You can see the leaderboard here: https://n4g.com/users/top

Each month, there will be a challenge - rewarding those who drive the most conversation, or for the most active members who have accrued the most points. The admins will set these challenges monthly. The winner of these challenges will be rewarded with an awesome prize, from consoles to games and more.

November’s N4G reward: This month’s prize is a PS5 Slim

And the challenge: To unlock this prize, you need to be among the top 100 highest scoring members of N4G. You can see how you’re ranking here: https://n4g.com/users/top . The winner will then be picked at Random - it won’t be awarded to the top scorer.

Admins, mods and anyone at BGFG are exempt from N4G Rewards, and will not be able to take part.

In time, we want N4G Rewards to evolve - not only giving our community a chance to win amazing prizes, but potentially using the points you accrue on the site to unlock discounts on your favourite games. More on that later. We’ll also send you the best deals, and reminders throughout the month as the reward nears.It’s never too late to get involved.

For now, to get started, all you have to do is login to N4G and begin interacting with other members.

If you’re not a member of N4G, you can sign up here: https://n4g.com/account/joi...

Welcome to, what we hope to become, the best gaming rewards scheme on the planet.

Okay cool. Seem like a nice idea to give back to the community.

Crows90190d ago

I think it is a great idea to give back to the community. I wonder if this will bring an influx of new users though.

OtterX190d ago

I quit the site earlier this year because of some frustration with the new BGFG management and the downhill direction N4G has been taking since the buyout.

...I have been lurking in the shadows with a new account recently though, just for the sake of being able to view pending stories. (this is literally my first comment since returning) I intended to remain a quiet reader, but I felt done with engaging here, especially in story submission & management.

This feels like a good temptation to become engaged again though, but I am also concerned when they state things like "...potentially using the points you accrue on the site to unlock discounts on your favourite games.", because it sounds like a license for them to become spammy with game product ads again. People weren't happy about it before, but will they be happy if our N4G points can be used towards the product spam? Time will tell.

Gamingsince1981190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

I think it also promotes people to submit as much trash articles as they can, which isn't a good thing. Also, this is the first time I have even seen or heard of these comps, and I'm on every day, weird

xHeavYx190d ago

It's a horrible idea xD
It gives people who do nothing but comment on articles (looking at you Obscure) another reason to go on their tirades. IMO the contest should be between everyone who logs in and comments, but if you want to force people to comment, just say that the more you comment, the higher your chance to win.

1Victor190d ago

Great idea but it have flaws as it favors those that are 24/7 posting inflammatory comments in defense/attack of other consoles. It should have a point deduction for inappropriate/trolling comments 🤷🏿

Crows90190d ago

Well I'd say you'd have to be an account in good standing.

thorstein190d ago

That sounds like [insert your favorite console here] talk!

Ha! Thanks for the points!

babadivad190d ago

That's 95% for of the users here anyway.

neutralgamer1992190d ago

Hopefully they will actually improve the site too because we should be able to reply to all comments. This way we can have a more direct conversation

Also some of the hardcore cult like fanboy accounts should be permanently banned. They add nothing to the discussion

JackBNimble190d ago

So im assuming you're referring to the other side , you know, the side that disagrees with you. Nothing like advocating for freedom of speech.

anast190d ago

We got our own little dictator in NG4. Maybe you should team up with Victor 1?

italiangamer191d ago

It's a nice thing to have 👍

jznrpg191d ago

I don’t post enough to be in the top 100 but who knows maybe I’ll get lucky. Personally I like the look of the slim and want to get one for my kids and who knows .

ModsDoBetter191d ago

I just checked the list rn and you're up there - top 50 rn

Eonjay191d ago

I came in 100 last time I checked.

Crows90190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

@Eonjay

Youre right above me so youre in!

Crows90190d ago

Im in the top 100. I post maybe 4-6 times a day..sometimes I skip a day. You're in the top 50 as @olMyerslo stated.

Jin_Sakai191d ago

Nice. I think it should be randomized from the top 100 though as it’s hard to get in the top 50 just by commenting.

-Foxtrot191d ago

Yeah we used to do this years ago and it was always the same dozen people so it stopped others from actually trying because it was like “what’s the point, not going to change the outcome”

Tal169191d ago

Understood - we have amended accordingly as we certainly don't want that to happen again

Tal169191d ago

Understood - we have changed in light of that feeback as think you're absolutely right.

specialguest190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

Yeah I was a winner of a $300 online gift card several years ago through a randomized contest for members with longest daily visits while logged in. I had no idea there was a contest, but it was a nice surprise

Husker42c190d ago

Apparently, beans are not cool.

coolbeans190d ago

Where did you hear that?!?!?

Seraphim190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

@coolbeans - must have heard it from the beans South of the mason dixon line. Those Northern beans, they be cooler than a polar bears toe nail, oh yeah....

MaximusPrime_190d ago

@coolbeans - sorry I forgot you're here. I got that phrase from Hot Rod movie and stuck with me since.. 😂

Christopher190d ago

***Where did you hear that?!?!? **

I've been spreading the Truth.

Microsoft's quest for short-term $$$ is doing long-term damage to Windows, Surface, Xbox, and beyond

Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.

"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins. "

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.

"Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware."

It's for the best.

Quit stringing along xbox fans and screwing over PlayStation owners.

gold_drake2h ago

i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.

but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"

Forza and Starfield next?

-Foxtrot38m ago

In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year

“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
