Across the years, Dungeon Siege and Deus Ex series gathered a massive fanbase among the gamers worldwide. Today Dungeon Siege Collection, as well as Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director’s Cut and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided arrive on GOG.COM in all DRM-free glory.

Dungeon Siege Collection (-85%) includes three parts of the cult fantasy RPG series, along with the DLC titled Treasures of the Sun. The Dungeon Siege series was born in 2002 from the Gas Powered Games studio members' passion for the RPG genre. The title captivated gamers around the world with its rich fantasy world, beautiful 3D graphics, and mechanics that were easy to grasp even for the beginners in the RPG domain. It was only a matter of time when the sequel was released in 2005 with the expanded world and a more complex storyline.

Over the years, Dungeon Siege became a cult classic. This led to a movie adaptation of the game featuring Jason Statham and, finally, to the third part of the series. This time it was created by Obsidian Entertainment (veterans of Baldur’s Gate) and published by Square Enix. Released in 2011, Dungeon Siege III introduced gamers to an innovative combat system that made the gameplay even more dynamic and engaging.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (-85%) is also a good example of revamping a cult series. After Deus Ex (2000) and Deus Ex: Invisible War (2003) made a lot of fans thanks to the cyberpunk setting and RPG elements, the series went into a hiatus for nearly a decade.

Human Revolution lets us revisit the same dystopian universe of the future, albeit its story is set a few decades earlier. The world is divided between the supporters and opponents of human augmentations. The main protagonist, Adam Jensen, is a former SWAT member and the head of security at a tech company. He is being cast into the above-mentioned strife after suffering heavy wounds and being biotechnologically enhanced in order to save his life. During the game, the player can expand the main character’s augmentation further, making him even more lethal.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (-85%) further expanded on adventures of Adam Jensen, merging action elements with RPG decision making, that changed the face of the storyline. One of its highly praised elements was the so-called Breach - an alternative game mode set in the virtual world. On top of that Deus Ex series was even further expanded with the successful comics series.

Now you can revisit the fascinating universes of Dungeon Siege and Deus Ex once more, thanks to the Square Enix Publisher Sale on GOG.COM featuring deals up to 89% off until 4th May 2020, 1 PM UTC.

tfishell: I don't want to put words in Cavalary's mouth so he can correct me if I'm wrong, but to add context, I believe he's said before that he'd prefer GOG have gone out of business rather than drop their principles.

Is what I said above correct or not? (I'm not trying to, like, "dump" on you or whatever the right word is.)

Cavalary: *nods* Said it above too, stick with it or "die" trying.

But, again, going off topic, only replied again now because I was asked directly, so won't say anything else here.
Well going off-topic was kind of inevitable when GOG made a mistake and people seemingly wanted to dogpile on and talk about how "terrible" GOG is now as a whole, which feels like a self-pity passive-aggressive circlejerk at times (granted maybe that's unfair description of where this went, and I'm certainly not saying no criticism is unwarranted), but I'll create a separate thread on this subject; you can choose to participate or not but naturally don't feel obligated to.

SarahGabriella: If theres an issue, they will get around to fixing it. Plain and simple.
At this point I'm not sure anymore if you are either ignorant or outright stupid.

There is also the possibility of you being a troll too, because the replies you are posting here make me think that you are high or something.

SarahGabriella: How is a damn offline installer gonna update on your damn PC? You want CDPR to alter files on your PC? Redownload the install and reinstall the game.
I-I... you can't be serious.

The fact GOG jumped on this so quick and fixed it, even during a pandemic, should show they are committed to the offline installers like they have repeatedly said. To see it any other way is to give in to pessimism and paranoia.

Conspiracy nuts sadly exist everywhere.

Not exactly. Yes, it shows they haven't completely given up on offline installers if users complain loudly enough, but being committed to them would have implied actually testing them before release and making sure that the problem didn't affect users in the first place.

You go work for a big online game sales site and test every damn file in a game.

Gosh, who would have thought that GOG fanboys could be worse than Steam ones.
Let's call them GOG Appeasement Crowd (GAC), for easier classification in the future.

I'm sure part of it was wanting to avoid bad PR, tbh I'm surprised no gaming news sites jumped on this. People talk about wanting GOG to change but I'm not sure just posting in this forum is sufficient.

like you said previously which I thought was a good point, why would GOG drop one of their biggest selling points for some cheap DLC? sure, they could be working to desensitize us, and giving some pushback/not accepting it was a good thing, but the rabidness in parts of this thread was undeserved imo

I kinda think a portion of the forum want to give in to pessimism and paranoia. (relating to how I've joked about everyone on the forum being jaded crotchety bitter old people :p maybe even me at times, though not in this case)

Seconding Calvalry's point.

"Committed" is a "weasel word" to begin with, since the definition can carry in a large range of neglect. For example, For the King apparently not even getting to the start menu without Galaxy for months (like half a year if I have it correct). Fortunately, that did get fixed now, but the point is that one can say GOG was "committed" to offline installers since after all they did (eventually) fix it. Doesn't really help much to the second-class offline-installer users who wait months for a functioning version though, does it?

If Galaxy is the baseline testing and no one bothers to see if the offline version works, I do not call that being "committed" to the offline version. That is my interpretation and what I consider acceptable within the range of the definition of "committed", which can vary from person to person on their tolerance level (see above). This error is one that should've been found quickly as the DLC is accessible right from the start (so, as another user pointed out, it's not like this is endgame content that they couldn't quickly find).

I am thankful this was fixed faster than other offline installer issues, but the offline installers should be the baseline, not Galaxy. Anything less I view as not "commitment to" but, rather, "grudging acceptance of" the offline installers. When DRM-free installers (not a client, which everyone else has too) are the unique selling point of the store, that is absurd.

So the problem is only partially fixed.

SmollestLight: The issue has been fixed for the Deux Ex: Mankind Divided DLC as well! You will now be able to play it without GALAXY.
Any comments on the above?

Consumables missing but isn't those the actual one time use microtransaction locked bullshit that was on steam ? If so that would explain why those are missing and Square wouldn't want us to use those over and over for some stupid reason.
It's dumb yes but one time use DLC is less than useless.

Yes, I thought that's the reason why is not included, but is advertised in the store and we should recive the same content for the same game, we paid for that, if someone don't want to use them it should be their decision... And that's a case of false advertisement, which is illegal...

I agree but microtransaction locked content without microtrasnactions is a special case even though i don't agree with it ...at all because how can Square prevent us from using it more than once without DRM.

This is more the case of fucking modern AAA publisher schemes which are horrible nowadays, this is mainly the reason why i don't want to deal with most AAA pubs anymore because it seems even when they go DRM free there's issues to be had but we'll see i guess how this turns out.
