Because it needs a guitar and a special cable. And there's a big chance the winner won't play it.

I've heard there's a mod for it that lets you use your sound card's line-in, but it's a finicky hack. That's what's stopped me from picking it up.

I've tried that using guitar link usb interface (Behringer UCG102). Sometimes the game stops detecting the note. So I decided to grab the realtone cable right away.

Normal guitar cable with basic sound cards works without mods but problem is different through Line in, there is too big delay on normal cable or too poor quality, but it's still playable. Official cable have own driver that makes it work better :)

Comment has been collapsed.

Ah, hadn't considered delay and nice to know you don't need mods. Is there a delay setting like some of the rhythm games have for LCD delay?

I use a pre-amp for my mic and other devices to avoid the noise from my sound card. Should probably buy a proper USB audio interface one of these days.

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

You might avoid delay by the cost of quality, then you can avoid quality loss by getting more delay and over and over again :D so usb interface can be really useful, not only for game :p I menage some time ago to achieve quite good quality/delay rate with my multieffect for guitar but I think the best way to use guitar for that game with no having real music studio equipment is to buy real tone cable :)

I would respond sooner but apparently steamgifts does not notify about responds :D

There are multiple versions and the possibility of getting the cable separately.

I've seen some Rocksmith giveaways... I seem to remember one was in the forum, and you had to show you owned the cable to join. One was a public giveaway, and of course the winner didn't even own a guitar. :( Hooray for blind greed/evil thanksbots/etc. :(

Convoy - I'm pretty sure I've seen public GA for it in recent High Level Week event, same with Lakeview Cabin Collection ;)

Vagante, Axiom Verge - were in group and private GAs, but nothing public.

Stasis, KeeperRL - had mainly group/private GAs, but public one as well.

Steam Squad was given away just once, but it was public.

StarCrawlers, Stonehearth, Lethis, Heart&Slash - indeed were never given away yet

it was in bundle so there were a lot of GAs for it back then ;) but as there was different policy about bundled games back themn (now you always get 15% value, back then without giving enough nonbundled GAs you'd get 0$ value) ppl stopped giving it away after that. Same goes for example for SuperMeatBoy.

World in Conflict, the third Shadowrun game of the current TBcRPG series, Unreal Tournaments, Baldur's Gate I/II and Icewind Dale EE, the remastered Age of Empires 2/Mythology games, any Command & Conquer, Mystery P. I. series, Hidden Expedition series, Clockwork Man series, most Amanita Design games, the 2nd+ episodes of any episodic indie games except the Journey Down (Detail, AR-K come to my mind as games I own and never see the second episodes of).

I checked because curiosity: the last time World in Conflict was given away was over a year ago. And 12 times in total in the history of the site. Shadowrun: Hong Kong never. UT2004: six times ever, last seen over a year ago. UT'99 9 times. Clockwork Man games, never, Hidden Expedition games, never. AR-K: great escape 9 times, Detail Episode 2, never.
Command & Conquer somewhat frequently, but it's mainly the expansion for RA3, for some reason. Baldur's Gate and Age of games… yeah, decent.

It shows private and region-locked giveaways too. If I would have counted public or low-levels ones, you could quarter the numbers I've given. (It's almost frightening how few public giveaways are made that are not some random 3-4 USD tier 1 bundle games…) Then something else is stopping it from showing up… strange.

Is it possible that you're not seeing some of these is because they are being given away in private giveaways? Shadowrun Hong Kong, for example, has been given away multiple times.

Wow, that TWO non-wishlist/region/invite-only giveaways. And one of them was level 5. :o
This is why I tend to stay away from the archive page. ^^' The actual giveaways available to the general public seem to be in single digit percentages.

By the way, I searched for shadowrun+hong which returns nothing. Same was with world+conflict, it was 0 hits, but world+in+conflict was all right. The search algorithm is a bit strange, as if it was custom-written.

The total wars are understandable as the bundles containing them tend to include tier keys and not individual game keys. In the recent Total War Bundle from Humble for example Medieval Collection and Empire Collection shared a key. As Empire costs notably more people used that for the giveaways. Same for the Tier 1 key, it included the Shogun collection but people were using Medieval 2 collection instead

8 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Both Shogun TW and Medieval TW are rare, but for different reasons. Shogun TW is rare because it's old. Medieval TW is rare because Medieval 2 TW basically replaced it. As you pointed out, the recent bundle included both games, but each was lumped into a single key with several others. It is likely that only TW fanboi's or collectors even care about either game, anymore, and that is the reason they are never given away.

True i barely bother with groups because some require to also gift back (AAA) games which i can't afford right now (maybe later), and the few ones i am a part of. i barely read group annoucements and discussions. Whitelist is much easier. :)

Why not just take it for a spin yourself, the next time you have an urge to play a strategy game? It seems like a great game, and it's a war that does not get much exposure in games.
