Personally I like when developers reward you for your loyalty and to be honest I would like to see more of it.
[b]What is your favourite loyalty bonus or reward in a game and do you agree, would you like to see more developers do this sort of thing whatever gaming platform you use? [/b]
[i]To keep OP short I have put a few examples in the below spoiler so you know exactly what I mean.[/i]
[spoiler]If you have played other Forza games and earned achievements since Forza 2 on 360 up to Forza Horizon 2 (and you use the Forza hub app on Xbox One), currently you get rewarded with cars and in-game credits to buy other cars with in Forza 5 and Horizon 2 on Xbox One. [i]FYI If you buy Forza 6 you get cars and in-game credits based on your tier rating and previous garage value =} [/i]
Bungie used to do this in a way with Halo Waypoint, there was armour you could unlock and wear in Halo Reach based on your achievements. 343 have carried on this legacy with the Helioskrill armour for Halo 5 (one on the left of OP picture).
Borderlands THC gold keys and badass points for those that had previous titles. You also got exclusive skins in Borderlands 2 if you owned the original Borderlands.[/spoiler]

Recon (Pre-vidmaster) was something people could really be proud of and I think it motivated the community and taught mutual respect.

League gave ne a skin JUST for being nice , I'de say that's good enough.

The Uplay by ubisoft is ok. They don't have to do it so that makes it a nice loyalty bonus to me. However my favorite, most well earned bonus was the camp I got for my Lancer for beating Gears of War 3 on insane.

I was gonna say Forza. I get over a million credits every tier.

7 Replies343 in my opinion does more loyalty rewards than Bungie. I also like how Volition(Saints Row) let you transfer your character from the third game to the fourth(while it still worked, ever since THQ went bankrupt, servers have been in the hands of Volition and down for almost 2 years)

3 RepliesI remember on my PS2 when you had saves from jak 1-3 on your memory stick you would unlock characters for Jak X which was pretty nice

1 ReplyA shader, sparrow, and something else so insignificant I don't even remember what it is. An emblem, probably. Best loyalty reward ever.

[spoiler]In all honesty, I like it when games give you beta access for playing the previous game or pre-ordering it.[/spoiler]

1 ReplyRatchet & clank on ps2 had loyalty rewards in two if you played the original one and bought any of the guns that where returning in two you would get them for free and in up your arsenal if you played the original game you would unlock a old school skin for ratchet.

1 ReplySOCOM 2 (or 3) had crossover content tied to its PSP version... a few online characters could only be used when you unlocked certain things in the handheld game.
