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.

LiefLayer: gog used to be so much better without regional prices
Well... no.

Without regional prices, it would be almost impossible to buy games in some places, my country included.

Imagine have to pay five times the price. That's no joke.

I think what they meant is back when GOG sold games for very cheap prices and to everyone.

With that in mind, a sliding scale price scheme(poorer countries pay less, richer countries pay more, but everyone pays a decent price) might be nice.

=======================================================
=======================================================
Also to all reading the thread: In case anyone didn't notice it yet, I am giving out 4 copies of the dungeon siege collection and a mystery prize(One can enter for either prize OR BOTH) in a contest here on the forums, which runs until May 9th at around 5PM EST.

Contest is here

Alexim: Hey Pyro, I'm not familiar with The Breach mode, could you explain what it is and what are the achievements removed? I'd like to keep track of them in my thread.

TheMonkofDestiny: It's the game's online multiplayer mode. It was made into a separate free to play game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/555450/Deus_Ex_Breach/

Its achievement list here:

https://steamcommunity.com/stats/555450/achievements

is the same for the main game, just without "Breach:" in the descriptors.

Perfect, thank you!

So technically the multiplayer component of the GOG version of Mankind Divided has been cut, I wonder why no one has complained about it this time.

Because Breach was utter bolted on shite and no one misses it?

LiefLayer: What russellskanne said is 100% what I think of this problem.
I see many here that just say "trust gog, give them time"... this is not something we should be soft about. This is DRM on a single player game with galaxy "the optional client".

Many low rated my post, but gog used to be so much better without regional prices, no stupid client and a lots of goodies for each games. Now soundtracks cost more money for each games, there is an "optional" client and regional prices... also multiple drm multiplayer games and, right now, 1 drm single player game that should be fixed (but we don't know when).

I trusted gog but it's not my fault if they make multiple mistakes... the only good thing is drm-free, if they fail with that gog will die (at least for me) so I cannot be soft because I don't want to lose a drm-free platform.

You guys can downvote my post all you want, I don't really care, what I care about is gog as a drm-free platform. If you don't just use steam.
THIS!

Could be because it is a free2play/pay2win standalone expansion loaded with microtransactions. As much as I love going against players who drop $100s for boosters, I think I'd have more fun bashing my head against the wall.

Soundtracks are up to the publisher how they are offered not GOG, and publishers now want to maximize profits by selling them separately. You can't fault GOG for publishers being greedy nor should we expect GOG to foot the bill to keep them free.

As for the DRM issue we do have to keep in mind the employees are all working from home right now and may not have access to all the equipment or people for fully test games so small things can slip through. If the world wasn't on lockdown then ya this is a bad move but right now I can forgive it since they are working in a limited capacity which means it's harder to have people double checking the work, having to send the files out rather than just everything being under one roof. The fact they are working to fix all the issues shows that they did not want this to happen.

Some other non-wealthy countries do...
And, not like you can make discounts fair either way, but the issue is mainly with those paying more than the base (US) price.

But, ahem, get me started on regional pricing and... Better not sidetrack this even more.

Back on topic, come on, wherever they're working from, if there's any shred of thought still spared for the offline installers and people not using Galaxy, how hard is it to designate at least one person with a computer where Galaxy's not installed to test that everything works? Or just ask around if designating it would somehow be an issue: Hey, does anyone happen to have a computer without Galaxy lying around to check this on?

Ghildrean: The consumables included with the Covert Agent Pack of Mankind Divided were a one time use item that, once redeemed, couldn't be used in another playthrough. Do they work as before or it is different now?
^ ^ ^
Has anyone checked this?

LiefLayer: ...
if it came down to GOG going out of business or dropping some of their principles, which would you prefer? (obviously it's not so black and white in real life but I'm curious which you would prefer; I know there are some who'd be fine with GOG essentially "dying a hero")

People like that can always go back to Steam if they think GOG actually has DRM in any way shape or form.

Of course multiplayer portions of games are always semi DRM in a way, but the reason to use GOG is to not have DRM in the singleplayer portion of games, and so far, no game has that and i doubt any ever will.

1 game having DRM by accident in a damn DLC? How does that count against GOG? Thats a leftover from the publisher of the game, thats not on GOG and they are fixing it.

Im glad GOG brought those games to their platform. Im sure it takes great effort to convince devs and publishers to release games DRM free as some still cling to the idea that DRM is preventing piracy, which it doesnt. DRM is like those anti piracy warnings on DVDs, only legally bought copies have it, making those that pirate actually better off than honest customers.

We get to own games here unlike on most other platforms where you cant download offline installers at all or need to go online to activate offline mode (facepalm).
Cant wait to put my games installers on a backup, thats gonna be so useful. Its like having all games on a single disc.

Happy gaming to all and stay healthy and keep your asses in quarantine especially if youre in the US and your state is ending the lockdown.

Wtf are you on about? You dont need Galaxy for any of their games, it just makes a few things easier. And even if you install through Galaxy, you can set it up so the games dont open Galaxy automatically, so you know theyre definitely running offline.

If anyone buys games on GOG mainly for the multiplayer part of a game, theyre doing it wrong. Yes, it sucks that some games still have active multiplayer communities but no multiplayer for GOG players but thats a thing with how the multiplayer is implemented, thats not on GOG. They dont make the damn games they put on here except CDPR made ones.

Singleplayer games dont have DRM, thats what GOG is best at and good for. And GOG support is one of the best, so having some respect will go a long way.
