Okay, some time by mid October I'll have bought Gears of War 3 and Dues Ex: Human Revolution. However, I'm having some difficulty deciding which one to buy FIRST. I don't have the money to buy either one of them right now, but i will by the time Gears comes out on the 20th. 
 
SO
 
I decided to ask a bunch of random internet strangers which game i should buy first. What do you guys think?

Do you want a story/stealth focused RPG, or a third person shooter?  
 
If it helps, Deus Ex can last upwards of 30-ish hours in one playthrough, whereas Gears will probably be closer to 10-ish. But that has multiplayer, which Deus Ex does not.

Those are pretty different games there. Depends on how much you enjoy third person cover-based multiplayer shooting compared to a first person shooter RPG with branching paths and no multiplayer. Personally, I'm terrible at Gears multi and don't like it much so I'd go with DEHR

They are two vastly different games, but my personal choice would be Deus Ex (three times over). I personally find the Gears of War games to be terribly boring and predictable.

Deus Ex Human Revolution. If you already played Gears 1 and 2.

Which to buy first? Definitely Gears, just cause multiplayer games are always more exciting at release, and slowly dwindle. With SP games it hardly matters at all, unless it's so huge that EVERYBODY is talking about it, but that is not Deus Ex haha

Get both, but if you can only get one I'd recommend Deus Ex, but that's just me.

@ninjadude853: Oh man, Gears. Totally Gears. In terms of a game that isn't horribly flawed, will actually work, is worth replaying more than once, and will have an interesting story not played out in hammy poorly-rendered cutscenes, Gears.

Deus later, when it's dropped at least half its price. Wait about two/three months.

Like others said, do you want a long story-based RPG shooter with immense focus on stealth gameplay, or a third person locust shooter with deathmatch multiplayer?

 Multiplayer is going to be amazing. 

Like i said, I'm going to get both by the end of October. And it probably should be Gears because my Gold membership runs out on October 9th. But i'm kind of sick of shooters. Not sick enough that i don't want to get the game, but sick enough that i kind of want to play the stealth rpg more.  I also don't want to play Dues right before i get the new Assassins Creed, because i don't like to play two similar games in a row. Not that Dues and Creed are overly similar, but both have a focus on stealth, which i enjoy, but after spending 30 plus hours doing that on Dues, I'll probably want to spend a couple of weeks shooting stuff and blowing shit up.
 
Yeah, it's probably gonna be Dues Ex.

Deus Ex, judging from the beta Gears of War 3 is just the second game, multiplayer is almost identical which is a big problem. It's a yawnfest...

I'm sure Gears of War 3 will have a decent enough campaign but probably only around 7 hours or something.

if i was in the position of having to choose, Gears 3 all the way. i have finished Deus EX and i think Gears 3 will be a better game over all.

Dude your avatar is a DEAD GIVE AWAY. HEHE!

If you live in the US you might be interested to know that Deus Ex is $35 next week at Toys R Us. I'd jump on that.

Gears 3

Um... Gears of War 3 has Ice fucking T in it.

Seriously?!? How do you know that?

It really depends on what type of gameplay you prefer... Deus Ex would be my choice.

Oh Deus Ex is far more different then Assassin's Creed. Staying out in the open will get you killed in Deus Ex VERY quickly. In Assassin's Creed, its easy to just quickly go and stab the faces of dudes one after another. Deus Ex can be played like a shooter though so you might have to get used to that.

cheapassgamer.com I don't know if it was announced or just posted by someone who works there and saw next week's ad already. The site is very trustworthy for stuff like that and since the thread is stickied the user who posted is probably reliable.

I'd pick Gears 3.  Then again, I'm still playing Gears 2 after almost 3 years and found the beta to outshine Gears 2 multiplayer in all respects, so I'm bias :P.

If this is true, i should be able to get both in the next two weeks. Dues at Toys R Us, and Gears when it comes out. Sweet.

How/why is that? I'm not saying it won't be amazing, i'm asking, how/why will it be?

Yup, confirmed. You can see the ad for the week starting tomorrow here. 9/11 ad. It's on page 3 in the lower left.

Gears 3 can potentially give you more playtime in the long run with the co op/multiplayer but Deus Ex is a great experience.
 
Personally I (probably) prefer Gears over Deus, I'm done with Deus now and have no intention of ever touching it again.

It starts tomorrow!?! AWESOME. I have enough cash! For that and the X men First Class they also have on sale. And i'll totally be able to buy Gears 3 when it comes out.   THANK YOU. I never would have found this on my own.

Good lad, the feeling when you blast 3 or 4 guys with a shotgun to bits while rolling around and dodging bullets is worth the pricetag. That's what you want from Gears, get good at it, and kill the countless number of noobs.

Mass Effect 3, because you like Garrus.

That does sound like a lot of fun, but it also sounds like it gets boring after the first 2 hours. I rolled around the maps, dodging bullets and blasting "noobs", so what now?

I played that GOW3 beta for longer then I have most multiplayer games.

I didn't get bored.

AHHHHH THE HYPE

I played Gears 1 and 2, and i have no intention on buying the third one. I never played Gears for the story. And i don't give two shits about the bleak characters. That said, those games are probably some of the best co-op games out there.  So if he want a mediocre story, he should get Gears 3 by all means. But if he wan't something slightly deeper to sink into, DX:HR is the winner.

That's great.  Get Gears 3. I beat Deus Ex and Gears will probably last longer with its amazing multiplayer.

Never cared for Gears multi-player so I'm going with Deus Ex.  Getting it
end of Sept on my bday.  I can wait on Gears 3 for later.  The first one
was great, but never got the same fever for Gears 2 & haven't even
completed it yet.  At this point, I feel I need to go back & play Gears 1
just to remember what it was all about & not feel disjointed.

If you've played Gears 1 and 2 and enjoyed them I'd probably get that first.
 
Then again, I enjoyed Uncharted 1 and 2 and am probably gonna get Skyrim first... ah whatever, those are isolated stories. Gears is a continuous trilogy right? I'd go for that first.

if you like multiplayer then gears 3

Since this thread popped back up I guess I should mention that Amazon price matched Toys R Us. Deus Ex: HR is $35 there as well. link

If you're into the multiplayer then Gears 3 no question.

It's a toss. I'd get Deus Ex H.R. first, but I only play single player. Nor am I trying to fool anyone, I'm getting Gears3 also. But then, I'm also getting MW3 when it births, hehaha snerk. Finish another Fight! Actually I think this Gears may have the story...

Deus Ex is $35 over on Amazon for the week. Get it here!

Get Deus first and play that before Gears 3 comes out.
