That's like asking if I'd rather play hockey or jerk off. They're both really fun, one I do with a bunch of people and the other I really would rather not have people around for, they're both physical activities that involve my arms, but other than that they're totally unrelated.

If you want an epic first person shooter that you'll waste (and while I say waste, that's not to say you won't enjoy the living hell out of it) countless hours of your life in, leveling up in a TERRIBLY addicting unlock system that rewards you for doing whatever it is you enjoy in the game then buy the living hell out of Battlefield right now and hop online so I can add your dogtags to my collection.

If you want a well crafted storyline you can mildly interact with framing stealthy missions that you can execute in any way you want through a series of bad ass augmentations (granted that at the end we really do end up being about the same Adam Jensen) with beautiful looking cyberpunk world hubs you can explore then go for Deus Ex as it was a beautiful experience and I will totally go back to it at some point (mainly because I refuse to cheat on the endings).

The good thing about this choice though is you can't go wrong. I, personally, own both and would suggest the same, just decide which one you need now... or which one you think will drop in price first.

Oh yeah and wait for Skyrim... unless for some odd reason you liked Oblivion, then dig in... but I just don't get it.

That was the....BEST ANALOGY I've ever heard! Shit, that made me laugh pretty hard. I tip my hat to you, sir.

Haha, thanks. I shall tip my hat right back at you, sir.


Oh, quick side note: My vote went to Battlefield, because if I was given the option of only one game to play for the rest of my life out of the two, it would be that one given that other players+destructable environments+a wide variety of vehicles = COUNTLESS hours of crazy fun... where as I'm pretty sure there will come a time when I've beaten Deus Ex to death.

Okay, I am certainly no Deus Ex fan. Everyone on this forum has been made aware of my general displeasure with it.

But by all means, get Human Revolution instead.

Deus Ex: HR. And I didn't even like Deus Ex: HR.

BF3: Another bloody military FPS with pseudorelism and focus on MP.
did you play it? no offense, but i tend to find people see a gun and say "oh, it's just another fps, it's not worth my time." you know what that sounds a bit like? stereotyping. one could argue the same about any genre. it's just another RPG. it's just another MMO. it's just another survival game. by that logic, we should never play anything but super indie games that cannot be classified by genre. that has to be the laziest reason ever to hate something. if you've played it, though, nevermind. Frankly, I thought there was a bit of military intrigue there, and just enough story that it isn't a "go here and shoot these people" kinda game. I mean, you have a CO who tries to rationalize the deaths of two of his men, a conspiracy to destroy new york, and a few men trying to stop yet another war with Russia, all set after Paris had been nuked. And you know what? playing with other people is fun. it's fun. it is fun. and it's social. we can be social, and shoot people. that's two things i don't do enough in real life. I see no issue with having a good multiplayer

on topic, however, fuck 'em both. skyrim, man. nothing but skyrim. there are no other games except skyrim.

Deus Ex is an excellent single player adventure with what feels like an incredibly open world even within a closed environment which is supremely difficult to do.

BF3 is utterly boring in single player. MP however is probably the most realistic game I've played without sacrificing too much fun. Think of all the military tech we have today, there's a damn good chance BF3 has it. Everything from C4 to mortars to tanks, landing craft and, of course, jets.

I played a bit of DX:HR and I've played a bit of the Multiplayer mode-Battlefield 3. I'd say Deus-Ex though since I like single player far more than multi. Also, Battlefield doesn't have split-screen so there's no getting together with buddies unless you do lan-parties. I've heard the Jet fighter bits of Battlefield 3's multiplayer are amazing but I counter that with a, "Oh yeah? I can cut out the FPS middle-man buy picking up the latest Ace Combat!"

Short answer, Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

I've played both, all the way through and into multiplayer and right now I'm going to say.

Human Revolution.
Battlefield 3's campaign lasted me 5 hours, Human Revolution's campaign lasted me 5 days. If you're going to put a lot of time into multiplayer then Battlefield 3 is definitely going to give you more time to play with it, but Human revolution is something you should probably experience.

You can even use the money left over to buy the first Deus Ex and play it before Human Revolution.

Then won't you be a fancypants.
You can even be a Deus Ex hipster like me.

I will get more replayability with Battlefield 3 because I love multiplayer and co-op. I like Deus Ex, but for some reason I just got bored with it on the last level and haven't gone back to it. I've already sunk 11 hours into Battlefield 3 multiplayer and it is extremely good, the only gripe I have is I wish there were kill cams because I've been killed by some crazy shit and I want to know how they did it.

Also, don't come to the escapist if you want help choosing between an rpg and an fps, we will 99% of the time vote for the rpg unless it is utter shit.

Battlefield 3. They are both incredible games but I prefer BF3.

PS. I can see your avatar fine.

Deus Ex doesn't have Splitscreen, and I have heard the latest Ace Combat is terrible. Played the demo and BF3 jets are far superior.

Loved Deus Ex, but if you're going to get skyrim, I'd have battlefield for when you want some online action.
But both are really good.

I didn't mean to imply Deus Ex had split-screen or multiplayer. I mentioned Battlefield not having split-screen because when I went to play it, it was under the assumption that I could play it with my Bro-in-law. Granted we could still play but it turned into a game of pass-the-controller instead of a simultaneous kill-fest.

Do you want a really good, but slightly disappointing single player game, or a really good, but slightly disappointing multi player game? Both are great, but each one has also some big issues that aren't game breaking, by any stretch of the imagination....unless you plan on playing Battlefield's campaign, which I must say, is just a terrible idea. For all intents and purposes it's a MP only game.

For now I'd say Deus Ex, since Battlefield could use a bit of patching, and it's likely to stay popular for a good bit of time, so get that later.

I hate it when people ask to choose between TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT GAMES IN TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT GENERES!

I mean, Battlefield 3 is a multiplayer focused FPS. Dues Ex: HR is a single-player RPG. You cannot compare them. They each have their own very special positives and negatives and they each play very differently. A comparison between BF3 and MW3 is a much better comparison.

I would go with Deus Ex simply because of Origin's Privacy Policy. It bothers me, but it doesn't bother others. If EA didn't spy on your computer and what you do, I would, without question or hesitation, buy BF3. Right now.

If you ask me, though, I would flip a coin. Heads: Battlefield 3; Tails: Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Also, that way, if you end up hating the game, it will nobody's fault! :D

Either way, good luck and I hope you enjoy whatever game you decide to buy! :)

I'd say you get more for your money if you buy Deus Ex. More freedom, and more fun. The story's engaging, the characters interesting (most of them), and overall a great gaming experience.

BF3... second verse (or in this case third) same as the first, i suppose. At least that's what it seems like from trailers and gameplay vids, i won't actualy pay money to play it so i don't have an experienced opinion to give.

Deus Ex I found boring and, well, just not good. Just started playing the BF3 single player today and so far so good. Nothing outstanding. But, I played the MP Beta and that was hella awesome. I think it really comes down to whether you want to play SP or MP, and nobody can tell you which to do.

Having barely played the Battlefield 3 beta and having played only so much of Deus Ex, I'd say it depends on what you're content with. With Deus Ex, you're probably getting something you haven't experienced before, and it's certainly an experience that won't be hampered by any obnoxious, unreliable people online in a multiplayer experience that's you have probably faced more than enough times. With Battlefield 3, my guess is that you do indeed get that SAME experience you have had. Even if you find it enjoyable, it is not doing anything new and it certainly doesn't hold the single-player experience in high regard; based on what I have read, Battlefield may as well be figuratively spitting on the idea of single-player. Regardless, if you honestly don't care that Battlefield 3 does absolutely NOTHING worthy of mentioning besides offering refined (or merely competent, in my honest opinion) multiplayer gameplay, then I'd have to say wait for something better, because chances are Modern Warfare 3 will be more fun, even if it will no doubt be just as contemptible as this game. More importantly, Deus Ex is fun, and offers a striking number of ways to play, and is overall a lot more interesting, which Battlefield 3 is not in the slightest. I still have to say, again, that if that does not matter to you and you would rather jump online, then disregard my compliments to Deus Ex. Also disregard what I say if you feel that my opinion isn't worth much considering how little I've played of both games, but I would still argue that as long as I can reason then I can give a good thought-out opinion on them.
