Switch Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Split this off from the thread you posted in as it was a bit off-topic there, and I think it will get more attention here. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawiRider Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yes you will have to buy the full game - patches are not full games themselves and are generally not stand-alone. Rather they are corrections to bugs and glitches found within the main game. (A patch doesn't work if it has nothing to fix.) The term "patch" probably stems from the fact that they "patch up" or fix flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
