So i've been looking for something cool to play lately and i'm stuck between these two games. I only have like 80 bucks and i need some date money leftover. Deus ex will be expensive, so i'll have to trade in something for it, and i'll have to wait another week to play it, since i can only play on the weekends, but it looks right up my alley. On the other hand i've been looking at mass effect 2 for a while and it'll be instant. Is deus ex too good to wait for the price to come down, or should i just be patient and wait?

personally mass effect 2 is one of my favorite games.
not sure if deus ex will be as good as some hope but i know that mass effect 2 is pure awesome

The combat in in ME2 is more fluid than DX's, from what I got out of the leak, but I didn't really get very far into the story of DXHR, so I don't know how they compare. DXHR seems more open, and it doesn't have that god awful mining abomination. Also, I don't think DXHR has a visible morality system. You play how you want, and people might think you are a jack ass because you let civvies die, but you don't get Badass/Goodie points.
You didn't hear this from me, but I've played the leaked beta (or alpha or whatever) of Deus Ex and it is one of the best new games I've played in a while. I can't really say for Mass Effect 2, but my brother played the hell out of it and says it's one of the best games he's ever played. So, yeah.
I'd say go with Mass Effect. It's sure to be the best money-for-gameplay. Just keep your eye out for when Deus Ex comes down in price though because I know what I'm buying when I get my next paycheck.

I would say be very careful about buying Deus Ex as they've region locked it so if you buy it from an online retailer you might end up with an expensive frisbee so be certain about it. It seems like digital copies aren't region locked but still there is good reason to be weary of that too.deathbyoatmeal said:

Anyways, OP, you really just need to do the research. If you've played Mass Effect 1, you know what everything will overall feel like. The combat is MASSIVELY improved though.
But if you get Mass Effect 2 and you HAVEN'T gotten one, get one. I guess it all really depends. You cool with having a one-game-story? Go with Deus Ex. It looks GREAT. Want a three game epic? Go with the Mass Effect series.
Well, DE isn't out yet and ME2 is pretty good, so I'd either wait for some DE reviews or buy ME2 right away.
Have you played ME1, by the way? If not, you might have trouble understanding certain facts about the setting and plot. (You can read up on them, of course, if you like.)

Deus Ex looks very good, Mass Effect 2 is very good. I'd buy Mass Effect 2 and wait for Deus Ex. You have to wait anyway so why not wait 'till it gets reviews and you can learn a bit more about it?
I think OP should make room for both. DE:HR looks beyond awesome, and it has already been established that ME2 is also beyond awesome.kijebe said:
