alanschu Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Stand-Alone expansions are very, very rare. Game stands on its own without KOTOR 1. Not an expansion.
Petay Posted July 20, 2005 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.
GhostofAnakin Posted July 20, 2005 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. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)

BattleCookiee Posted July 20, 2005 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 :">
Universal Soldier Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I think they should make an expansion pack for KoTOR 2, but it definitely was not one itself though
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I think someone failed their duh check. Is it a stand alone product? Yes. Therefore not an expansion. Harvey
Evil_Lurking_Koala Posted July 21, 2005 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.
dufflover Posted July 21, 2005 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 Posted July 21, 2005 Torment was an expansion pack of Baldur's Gate, and all Infocom games were expansion packs of Adventure.
GhostofAnakin Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Torment was an expansion pack of Baldur's Gate, and all Infocom games were expansion packs of Adventure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I still say Fallout 2 was the greatest expansion pack ever made though.

alanschu Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Fallout is a pretty good expansion pack. No game has had more expansion packs than Kings Quest though.
Musopticon? Posted July 21, 2005 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. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
alanschu Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 In the words of Quagmire, it'd be 'giggity giggity giggity.'
Musopticon? Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I've never watched Family Guy, so the humor is lost on me. Nice try though kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Craigboy2 Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 KotOR II - Over priced "Expansion Pack"?What do you think? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. "Your total disregard for the law and human decency both disgusts me and touches my heart.

Ohma Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Don't tell me DMC is going to be like Eddo. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If I remember correctly, Darthmac is a lot more like NCR than Eddo (thankfully). Unless Darth and NCR have changed while I've been gone...
alanschu Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 I've never watched Family Guy, so the humor is lost on me. Nice try though <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Simply say "giggity giggity giggity" really fast, and you'll get the jist of it. You don't really need to know about family guy, "giggity giggity giggity" stands on its own.
