alanschu Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Stand-Alone expansions are very, very rare. Game stands on its own without KOTOR 1. Not an expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petay Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Surely just the KotOR 2 says to you that it is a sequel not an expansion pack anyway, since most expansion packs dont run in a line like so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 So basically this thread says "if I dislike a game or dislike how it turned out, I'll call it an expansion pack by looking at the broad definition of expansion pack and disregarding everything else". That's what I'm getting out of the arguments DarthMacLeod is presenting.

BattleCookiee Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 There is no evidence to back this up! Sorry, rather poor choise of words there, I meant to say: It is not the Last on the list I had made of definitions (so NO "Fake Sequel") Not, it isn't the last KOTOR :"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Soldier Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I think they should make an expansion pack for KoTOR 2, but it definitely was not one itself though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I think someone failed their duh check. Is it a stand alone product? Yes. Therefore not an expansion. Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Lurking_Koala Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I wouldn't say it's an expansion pack as it can function independently of another game but the lack of a completeness in the final product does beg the question. That being said, KOTOR II should have been sold at a price reflective to its state of completion. This price should have been around the price expansion packs are typically sold at (around $25 to $30). Personally, I don't consider it canon at all. The storyline makes little sense following the original KOTOR. It's more like an odd divergence into an alternate Star Wars universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufflover Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I think someone failed their duh check. Is it a stand alone product? Yes. Therefore not an expansion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's one of my main criteria too. (Uhh, does it *really* matter if it was an expansion pack or not). Although I was kinda suprised that C&C Generals Zero Hour Expansion seems like a stand-alone (it apparently still needs C&C Generals but it's size makes it look like a standalone expansion). Another example of this is Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith. Even material wise, K2 has enough to be it's own game.

EnderAndrew Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Torment was an expansion pack of Baldur's Gate, and all Infocom games were expansion packs of Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Fallout is a pretty good expansion pack. No game has had more expansion packs than Kings Quest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I just realised how boring it must be for you K-fans to just kill time here hoping K3 to be developed and released. It will be interesting to see how many have gone already nuts when it will finally happen after 2 or 3 years. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.
