Grats.
And it is worldwide
Good to see Morrowind there.
Congrats!
Ah, I just bought GOTY edition Oblivion in store two weeks ago. Your a tad too late Impulse, but good to hear none the less.
Excellent news! I'm actually playing Oblivion for the 4th time and on 80+ hours already, not even halfway thru. There is sooooo much re playability in that game with tons and tons of mods that fundamentally change the game.
I'll be looking forward to some super sales in the future on them so I can have them digitally and not have to dig out my old discs.
I would hope that this is a sign that perhaps Fallout New Vegas won't be using Steamworks anymore but alas, I doubt that will happen.
If they keep this up i'll be able to get rid of my steam account. Wish there was some way to transfer my steam games over to impulse.
Sweet, will the script extender work on this version? I lost my CDs last year and this would be great if all the mods work.
Nice. Always good to see the store expand.
No reason why it wouldn't. Impulse doesn't mess with installs like Steam often does.
I already have these titles but great news nonetheless.
Great, can we have Fallout New Vegas too now then ?
Steamworks games won't be available on Impulse ..
I'll be picking up Morrowind soon! I don't like that it's the same price at Oblivion though, it should be a lot cheaper considering the age...
Well, someone had to bite the bullet and test it. Looks like OBSE does NOT work, making this a 25 dollar waste.
Before laying it to rest, you might want to contact support ...
Grats to the worldwide part, but i already own most of the games and also think that most of them suck .
But i like that you start getting worldwide deals.
Oblivion Script Extender. Necessary for just about any of the good mods to work. http://obse.silverlock.org/
Thanks Osiris, but I don't think they are going to be able to do anything about a mod not being compatible. Unfortunately, the game is seriously lacking without OBSE. I can't recommend buying this.
Ironically, Steam seems to support OBSE just fine.
Awesome. When I finally whittle down my backlog a bit, I'd like to give Morrowind another go. I'll definitely be purchasing it off of Impulse.
Any idea on whether or not Impulse will be fixed so it minimizes to my "Hidden Icons" instead of taking up room on the task bar? That would be real handy, especially since everything else I run minimizes there when I hit "x", like Yahoo, Skype, Viper, etc etc. When I hit "x" on Impulse it closes it off instead of minimizing to the hidden icons area.
Raven, it's the Impulse Tray Application that sits in the system tray/hidden icons area. Impulse itself doesn't go there. You'll need to turn on the tray app (should be in the start menu) then tell it to stay on.
Wow...that's annoying. So either I have the tray icon on All the time, whether I'm running Impulse or not, or I have it minimize to the task bar? I think someone somewhere needs a pay cut...
Good looking out on the info though, Tridus , thanks my friend.
Good work!
You shouldn't need to have the normal Impulse app open most of the time when the tray program is enabled. It notifies you of updates (except for Elemental for some reason, maybe due to beta?) and stuff like that. You can even launch games from it.
I rarely open the Impulse main app itself because the tray app does what I usually need and doesn't require waiting to start it.
I looked and it doesn't list my games under the "My Games" tab from the Tray Icon. I tried adding Elemental and no dice.
