Conflicted on how to spend disposable money.

[Roselina]

Ive recently come from a very successful trip to the casino and have $115 worth of disposable income that i need to get rid of before it explodes or something. I figure i could get the new Deus Ex: Human Revolution and put some money on a pre-order for SW:TOR. Then again i could also pick up mass effect 2, 2 worlds 2, and still get the pre-order. And even still i could get mass effect 2, 2 worlds 2, and Valkyria Chronicles. I personally am a fan of RPG's and all the previous fill that category. its such a tough choice its difficult to pick one. If you can suggest whats the best option or an option of your own i would greatly appreciate it.

I'll do you a favour here - send the money to me and I'll "dispose" of it for you. You won't have to know what happens to it, but it will be gone.

OT: I suggest DE:HR and putting some money down for SW:TOR. They both look like brilliant games, I don't think you'd regret it.

Hell, since you won it off of luck, why not press it? Buy 115 dollar lotto tickets, or head back up to said casino.

Barring that, there are some good games coming out this fall. I'm personally saving my money for Skyrim. When it comes out, I will drop from existence for a good 2 weeks.

You still haven't played ME2? Did Soul Society not get their import yet?

Personally I say ME2, DX: HR (It's only 35 on Amazon! [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HRZ29K/ref=bt_atcg_mm?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0J32NHVTWCBZRRSN9T8J&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1315327902&pf_rd_i=979455011]) and slap down the rest on Old Republic.

Wat.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really don't think Mass Effect 2 is worth it. I don't personally know much about Deus Ex, but I heard it's pretty good. Mass Effect 2 is mainly a series of linear shooting levels broken up by dialogue with a system that doesn't allow you to role-play. So if you seriously like the RP part of RPG Mass Effect really isn't the game for you. The moral choice system and the rewards and penalties associated with it really take away from the ability to create your own character who responds differently from situation to situation. The actual fighting can be fun at times, I suppose, but the dialogue system is seriously lacking.

Judging from Deus Ex's game-play options that's what really will allow you to role-play during game-play, which is one of the best kind of role-playing.

All I can say is Valkyria Chronicles is an excellent game. By now since it is several years old you can probably find it for less than half of a brand new game. I tend to wait for price drops as new doesn't always mean better. I also really want Deus Ex, but I am low on cash. But, I just remind myself that I will eventually get it.

This is a funny coincidence actually! I've just stated taking donations to help me fund a future, multimedia project which will likely be some sort of AVGN knock-off in which I play older games and give my own personal view. I'll be glad to take that money off of your hands and give you a special credit/ mention.

If you chose to keep the money for yourself though...I hear good things about that Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

If you're a big fan of RPGs, you could give Divinity II: DKS a shot. It's not a terribly popular game but it's got some incredible charm.

DE:HR is a good buy too, and Mass Effect 2 is alright. Since the price has dropped on ME2, I'm assuming, it'd probably be worth it.

 

[WhyBotherToTry]

I'd say get Human Revolution. Or put it in the bank maybe.
