The biggest celebration of DRM-Free gaming this season is right now, right here on GOG.com! It's warm and nice outside, the summer draws ever closer, so let's make sure it's full of fantastic games. There's no one good way to spend your summer, but we know well that gaming can make every single one of them better. So, whether you plan to stay inside, hike into the wilderness, or take a boat into the calm sea, we'll make sure your laptop is filled with great DRM-Free games you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. To that end, we're holding our [url=http://www.gog.com]2014 DRM-Free Summer Sale!

Each day we'll present you with at least two special Bundle Deals with a selection of of great classics and indies available up to 90% off! As usual, you'll be able to buy just selected titles out of the bundle with a slightly lower discount, or complete your collection with just the ones you're missing, retaining the higher discount rate. Let's take a look at our offers for today, shall we?

Today, we seriously mix things up to bring you both lighthearted comedy as well as dark and morbid horror. The Legacy of Kain Saga is the Full House of gaming with its family themes and colorful presentation. Across four episodes ironically titled Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2, and Defiance the series explores the relation between Kain, a authoritative father with obvious god complex, and Raziel, his rebellious son with questionable fashion sense. The story also includes many of their relatives from extended family, that cannot help but to make a mess in their imaginary homeland called Nosgoth. Hilarity ensues! All this cheerful moments for only $5.96 (that's 75% off!). The other of our offers today, is bound to chill the blood in your veins with its terrifying setting alone. The Deponia Complete Trilogy takes place on a distant planet. A planet, that long ago must have been not so different from our own Earth. Yet now, it is a grim and dark place that suffered a tragic environmental disaster. The surface of the planet is now completely covered with waste. Toxic rain flushes the pollution deep into the ground, poisoning it and making the land barren. Way above, there's the remaining enclave of civilization, housing the remnant of the human race. Now imagine one of them, a defenseless girl, falls down to the toxic junkyard below. Even though she doesn't die instantly poisoned with every imaginable toxin, her future looks grim. The wasteland is filled with danger, and soon she'll find out that she is not alone among the towering piles of garbage. What strange mutated monsters could have survived in such conditions? And what do they eat? The horror! All the thrills for just $11.97 (that's 80% off!). There you have it, a mix of laughter and cries of despair to fill your weekend with gripping gaming. Or did we overdo the mixing?

On top of that, almost all of our catalog has been discounted by up to 50%. On top of that, our front page is overflowing with excellent Flash Sales on single games. You can grab them up to 90% as well, but don't take to long, as they come and go pretty fast! Why don't you head out to GOG.com front page, and see what's happening right NOW!

IronArcturus: I've read the original AC forced users to be online to play it. But wasn't the always-online feature taken out in the GOG version?
From what I've read all DRM (UPlay, etc.) is removed from the GOG edition. ^_^

AC2, which (sadly) isn't on GOG. And it no longer is always online, you can keep playing if you lose connectivity.
AC1 is drm free, and the reports were inconsistent. Some claimed you needed to be online to play, others that you needed to be offline to do so. I never encountered such a thing, thus can't comment on it.

JMich: Repetitive. Some like it, some hate it. Interesting story though

Didn't have any trouble. Some people have mention trouble if they don't have internet, which may have something to do with the GPU, or the game itself.

With a wired one it's compatible out of the box, for a wireless one you need an extra file. Check the subforum, there should be a couple of links.

No there is no "Always online"-DRM I got the Disc version fpr PC and you don't have to activate it anywhere :)
So I guess the GOG Version won't have it either.

That's what I thought too, but then I found this in GOG's AC forum:
http://www.gog.com/forum/assassins_creed_directors_cut/internet_connection_on_start

Is it really requiring an internet connection to start? Is there a way to stop that?

You don't! I got the Disc Version and I did not need an internet connection to start it up. No Uplay etc. invovled.

I know they took out "Uplay," but in the GOG forums many were mentioning that AC was continually trying to contact some defunct Ubi-Soft server and it was causing issues for the game. Did your firewall report AC trying to contact another server?

Allow me to counter. For this user, an internet connection prevents the game from starting.

That is strange O.o
Like I said I got the CD version and I installed it once without internet connection and there was no problem... that is kinda strange.

So basically a user is forced to edit their HOSTS file to stop the game from contacting these servers? Why hasn't GOG fixed that problem?

I didn't encounter said problem. No HOSTS modifications, no network disabling.
It most likely is not AC that's causing the problem, but something else. Assuming it can be identified, GOG would probably fix it.

Do you have a firewall installed? When you launch AC, does the Firewall report it trying to connect to any of these servers from that forum link:

216.98.48.18
216.98.48.53
216.98.48.57
216.98.48.133
216.98.48.134
skeletonbow, The_Blog, JMich, thanks guys! Will wait till the last day of the sale then.
Oh nice shadowrun. Still waiting for Deadly Premonition, though. Ones I got this one I got everything except for the D&D Deal. But I know myself so I'll probably grab some impulsive buyings ^^

Windows (and router) firewall, no idea about connections, since I played it a year and a half ago.
But you did post someone saying he needs to be online to play, and I posted someone who says he needs to be offline to play. Thus why I say it most likely isn't AC that's causing the problem, but something else.
