Yuuko Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I started playing this game when there was only Don't Starve. Reign of Giants wasn't a thing yet, neither were caves. It was a very fun game! Over time the game grew with new content and expansions and at a point that next development was DST. DST features a lot of new content that the base game does not have, as well as improved mechanics. While it lacks Adventure mode I find I only play DST whether solo or with others. DS hasn't been played since DST came out. For me DST has completely eclipsed what DS was. Is this true for you? I bring this up because when we talk about new content for DST, bosses, buildings, ect some people like to excuse certain issues with "Its a multiplayer game." While DST makes multiplayer happen I don't load up DS when I want to play alone. I just play DST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 That's the case. Once Charlie evolved from becoming a Grue to a Queen, the timeline kicks to the sequel. The Cyclum comic confirms this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Ouroboros Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Functionally and in practical terms, I consider it to be a standalone DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsomony Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I suppose I'd consider it like DS2. I do definitely think of them as separate games and experiences, especially as more content gets added and tweaked. I rarely play DST - only here and there with a few close friends where I know our playstyles compliment each other. I remember what it was like to be new, and I'm sympathetic, but I just can't be the person to hand-hold and teach. I remember jumping into a random server once, and the person was super enthusiastic that we were all in there, and wanted us to explore as a group... and I'm like, "no way, we've got stuff to do before winter, divide and conquer!", LOL I prefer DS myself, it's still my go-to. The things that have been added/changed for DST just aren't that interesting to me, and sometimes feel overpowered for just a single player. I like how the lore has evolved, but it doesn't give the same feeling as starting up DS and knowing I'm all alone out there. I can see how DST would be appealing to a group who just discovered the Don't Starve world, and are learning it from scratch together though.
