So is FFXIII: Versus an expansion now?

Is Halo 3: Recon being retailed at stores? And not a DLC add on to Halo 3?OutlawStarXIII

yes, it's only purchaseable through box

This won't end well. How is Versus XIII, a game that has nothing to do with FF XIII, an expansion?

Im just..........tired. Thats all, jsut a little bit tired. I need sleep.

what does Recon have to do with Halo's story-line?

I'm gonna say that you're wrong.Blackbond

I don't actually believe that FFXIII:V and H3 arn't full games, I'm just pointing out how stupid people sound when saying Recon cannot be compared to full games and is just an expansion pack.

I don't know, nor do I really stand to care..............im going to sleep. This debate might get longer then what it is supposed to be.

Im just gonna agree with you.

Now that Halo 3: Recon is an expansion pack and cannot be compared to a "stand alone" game, I'm going to go as far to say FFXIII: Versus is the exact same, a FFXIII expansion pack and cannot be compared to full games.Utensilman

TC, that doesn't make anysense.

Halo 3 Recon is a whole new game set in the Halo universe, and is being treated as a new game. So yes, I would say they're similar, because both Versus XIII and Recon both take place in their respective universe at different periods in time.lantus

Its just an expansion of the Halo 3 campaign. The new multiplayer maps that ship with the expansion will actually be made available much earlier through DLC for Halo 3. And people playing online in Recon will still be able to play people playing online in Halo 3.

I don't believe that FFV13 is comparable to H3 Recon.

Both are Spin-offs.

He's not comparing them in any logical way, he's just pointing out the double standards fanboys have. Particularly over the Halo 3: Recon matter.

Yea but it's been sold at retailers and you don't need Halo 3 to run it.

Versus is not a spin off. And it shouldn't be called an expansion because it is set in a different world, has a completely different battle system, and the stories aren't even connectedblack_tempest

SE has called Versus a spin-off. When the devs of the game call it a spin-off, then guess what? It is a spin-off.

Same with Bungie calling H:Recon an expansion.

You're fighting a losing battle.

Believe me, I've had the discussion enough times to know that no one will believe you.

No. Go and find them yourself.

How is FFV XIII an expansion? lol...

Both games are spin-offs. Don't like it? Too bad for you.

Still doesn't mean both won't be great. When someone points out that FF Versus XIII is a spin-off, the crazed up fanboys go mad, and I have no idea why.

I also haven't seen anyone denying the fact that Halo: Recon is a spin-off or expansion.

sargentbotk

People go crazy because 99% of the time someone calls it a spin-off, they're using it as a negative.

whoever said this nonsense is just talking crap.

halo 3 recon IS an expansion theres no other way around it. just like how many games previously have recieved expansions packs.

FFvs13 IS a FULL GAME no other way around it. it is not carrying on the story from ff13 it is not adding to it either. its a completely different game set in the same universe!

i dont see whats so hard to understand. jeeeeez

more in a sense of expanding on the halo universe. it is much different from traditional halo games and is, well, you know, standalone.

whether it is standalone or not its still an expansion

sigh :roll:

why on earth is this even up for debate? both games are spin off's of the series they are based on(final fantasy and halo).

only reason why you now see people calling Vesus a "expansion" is because cows tried to use it as a way to bash halo3 recon not to long ago.

nope cos its an entirely different story set in the same universe. it runs parralel to the ff13 game.

technicaly neither is a 'main' game. theres just two stories to be told here.

same with agito 13 for the psp its not really a sequel again just another story to be told.

think of the tales series, all share a similar universe but just different stories

thanks, you just give the explanation that I had in mind, but I do not understand why some people can not understand something so simple to understand the only similarity between ff13 and ffv13 is that the two games are based on the new FABULA of crystals from square, but with different histories and different interpretations that the crystals have in their worlds, they do not have any other relationship between them unless by the FABULA of crystals that come in the two games, and ffv13 is a fuuuuullll game not a expansion

Versus XIII isn't an expansion pack. Its its own game. Halo 3: Recon is just an expansion.kage_53

At least someone gets it. And for those who keep track PC Expansions are included in your Nerdman list catagory.
