I think it's brilliant business from Activision. I said back in December that come the halfway point in the games cycle, they will start implementing light pay2win elements in DMZ even with the mode being in beta and that by Spring, there will be aggressive and predatory pay2win bait bundles in play to milk the remaining audience with carefully curated pricing to maximise their income. A couple of people told me I was full of absolute shit and that Activision wouldn't ever dream of doing things like this but here you go. In March they even charged £25 for a bundle which could not be purchased with COD points that was recycled free content from MW2019. Their aim is to convert as much real world money into store credit aka COD points and to do this, they offer 'perks' aka discounts to people with a low ATV spend or a lesser established purchase history. Loyal customers don't receive such perks because Activision does not reward such things - discounts mean less money from willing paying customers which could also psychologically reduce their impulse purchase potential with future day one bundles if they believe they may get pampered reductions. None of this is new and that's why I was a bit taken aback in that other thread of users denying Activision's antics when there was literally 5+ years of this industry behaviour with irrefutable evidence of methods and implementation. Activision are in business to make as much money as possible and if they have to shit on the few remaining customers they have to extrapolate as much money as possible, they will at any non-monetary cost. It will be all gone and forgotten come the next game and that's why they don't care.

I'll share with you some pics of my collection starting from Castlevania games.

Awesome collections there! Never seen the long box comby of Metal Gear Solid + Special Missions before. What country was that from?

It will be very interesting to see what they come up with. It's not like there's not much to parody about the modern world. I'm just wanting to see if they finally make player movement and combat feel decent.

I'm currently playing Resident Evil 4 Remake

Thanks for sharing @J4MES OX4D. I'd agree this seems a good approach. I may try more games if this was the case too as PC games are so saturated that I never know whether to pick one up or not.

I can live with this GTA 6 Might Be Coming Out as Soon as Next Year - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Publisher Take-Two Interactive may have just teased the release window for the next entry in the biggest gaming franchise of all time: Grand Theft Auto 6. It may be on the way as soon as next year. Was dreading it would be 2025 or something!

I haven't bought any bundles and I have 20-40% on some of them. I did notice last time I was on there was a "sale". I think it is to do with how much points you own. Just off the video alone. Main account-12k points and probably bought multiple bundles because he is a youtuber. No discount. His 2nd account-400 Cod points and probably bought no bundles from that account. Huge discounts. That speaks volumes and indicates everything to me of what's happening. The fact his main account is stacked on points and he will buy again, why would there be a discount? That 2nd account with no purchases and low points. Let's put a huge discount on to encourage them to buy points with a tempting bundle.

Another double-shot update. Episodes 44 and 45. Controllers from all generations, and does Nintendo get a free pass with review scores?

instead of to how many cod points you have maybe the discount is related purchases you've made and accounts with more purchases get a better discount? a bit like a loyalty card.

Literally just dropped! Absolutely loving the new look. September 19th this year release date! Surely we're going to see some superb fatalities in this one. Thoughts?

Hello , I'm new here and I have been a lifelong fan of Capcom particularly the Resident Evil,Street Fighter,Onimusha series. I grew up playing and adoring the Pc Engine and SNES,I really have good memories of these consoles. My fav games are: Ghouls'n Ghosts (Arcade) ,Final Fantasy VII (Psx) and Metal Gear Solid 3 (Ps2) Happy to be here!

Irony is sometimes hard in text form 😉 We have a high level of irony and sarcasm here, just so you know it 😊 Your pics of the collection is awesome, and extensive!

Wow the collections are epic mate. Always nice to share photos. I'm sure plenty of others can appreciate the dedication to collect really great things. Everything is in wonderful condition. It's so satisfying looking at your photos. Thank you for sharing.

Except you have them the wrong way around the 400 cp account with massive discounts is his main and the 12k cp is the secondary. im not trying to say that this isn’t the case as it makes business sense to offer discount to players which don’t buy, I’m just saying that only having 2 reference points isn’t enough to know for sure that’s the case.

No I'll continue to add photos stay tuned My Retro Stuff is here

Is that all you have? Its a good start I guess.. 😉

Nice one man, we actually have a sub forum for all things retro. Retro games and consoles etc are very popular here. A lot of our members are of all ages, but lot's of people in their 30's and 40's who remember and enjoy the nostalgia of these wonderful times. A time were things were more simple and fun. Have a good look at this dude, quite a few topics and people showing off their recent purchases and collections. 😁 https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/forum/178-retro-gaming/

Nice to meet you! I'm Italian actually I work in Milan so I stay here with my wife ! I'm a collector of Retro console and videogames from the past is there a thread here to show my stuff ? I can't find it

Welcome Sir Arthur! I'm sure you will enjoy it here. It's the best gaming forum on the interwebz. Are you UK based? US, or Europe? Do you ever play any Multiplayer games online? Plenty of people here to play with. 🙂

Jimi is legendary, a classic song. Quite a lot of people have done covers of it. Stevie Ray Vaughan's version is the only version that holds the feel of it. Paul Gilbert's version is good, but a bit more shreddy. Dozens of others as well are decent, but it ain't Jimi.

Not sure how extensive this will become on the platform but Valve have made available a feature where developers can offer timed free trials. Definitely a good option to have especially on games that have questionable optimisation or if a user wants to take a punt but isn't willing to pay up the whole amount with the refund being a fall-back. Will certainly reduce refund requests and the red tape that comes with that. Steam just quietly added a new free trial system | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Starting with the Dead Space remake.

I'm still disappointed that this is going to be a whole new game rather than the expansion to MW2 that it was originally rumoured to be. I also fully expect this to be an unfinished mess. No beta* until October. The reveal is supposedly not coming until August. 💩 *playable demo.

Apart from I haven't been daft enough to buy any but have a heavily discounted "sale" Now a loyalty scheme would be at least a better idea for those that do but the odd skin, a bit like getting enough points in the pass to buy the next one.

Definitely a new one, is ridiculous charging people different amounts based on wealth (Cod points). Nothing surprises me anymore with Activision and their "strategies". Would love to hear what @J4MES OX4D has to say about this one. 😂

I’m secretly hoping there is some kind of progression between mw2 and mw3. Not holding my breath though, I’m kinda burnt out on dmz at the moment and am not really playing that much anymore. I’ll be honest though I have bought a couple of the bundles, having a taq-56 and mcpr-300 with 15 minute cool-down is a blessing it means with 3 insured slots I can even take an insured gun in for regear runs. It’s not so much pay to win for me as I still lose a lot it’s more like pay to play.

Just give me some more DMZ stuff and I'll be happy. I just play MP when new guns come out in order to unlock then I go back in the DMZ. It's an outstanding mode. Unfortunately it does not seem to resonate with this group. The new mid-season is tons of fun. It's really a mini raid. Building 21 and the other 2 maps are great. A lot of people have complained about P2W. The only thing I would say is a true advantage is the 15 minutes weapon cool down with two of the best weapons for the mode.

Was my favourite growing up and I still have many of the games (albeit caseless) from my younger years. Back then I was very much a JRPG only fan (multiplayer online had not turned up yet and I was a bit of a loner in my younger years, really did not like people, to be fair I still don't 😄 ) But just thought I would share a couple of the games in my PS1 collection -
