Cookiez Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 To be honest, I really don't know which game is better. Sure,we're on the forums of Don't Starve,But that only explains a little part of this tread. Don't starve and Terraria shows same,Yet different game play. Both games are based on Survival. Each game have very different weapons. They share very little tools that are the same. Terraria is a mix of many games, Such as Minecraft. Don't Starve seems like it's based off of Minecraft,but really isn't. Don't Starve haves many monsters to fight,kill,and collect. Though,it doesnt update anymore. So,which game is better?

Cynical Cynicist Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 They're both pretty cheap, I wonder if you really can't afford both - perhaps this is a question of when. Terraria is nice and all, especially with friends, but the devs stopped updating it and it's kinda being overshadowed by Starbound. Perhaps if you know a friend or two, get Terraria/Starbound for now and play around with it until you get Don't Starve. If you have yet to make friends, play Don't Starve and immerse in the familiar isolation, as well as better survival mechanics. Personally, Terraria is alright. Starbound I haven't played but seems disappointing since the devs were trying to accomplish too much with not enough of a means. Don't Starve maintains a unique atmosphere by forcing single-player on an island where you're gonna die and learn a lot. And please, remember that Minecraft isn't really "survival," it's "really freaking easy survival and fake threats as an additional annoyance to your creative building." Both of the games you're considering are comparably more difficult, but on their own are also quite easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookiez Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Both games are quite remarkable. I agree that Minecraft isn't all that great. Once you play it, that's it. Unless you're on a server,you will keep doing the same things,over and over and over.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 THey just stopped regular updates they said. As far as I know, there's still stuff in the pipeline for Don't Starve as far as updates go too. I haven't touched Terraria/Starbound though :v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanBlue Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I just don't enjoy Terraria. I'm trying but I can't.I don't play Don't Starve anymore because after 140+ hours the game is no longer interesting. Again, I'm trying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeoSS69 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 They're two really different games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookiez Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Both games are similar, yet different. Sure,They contain some elements that each games can relate to, but i think the main thing in both game is to Strive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debugman18 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I don't particularly like Terraria. It's graphics are jarring to me, and the gameplay isn't as smooth as I'd like. Starbound has impressed me so far. Don't Starve was great fun, and it was definitely worth the money. It really depends on whether or not you'd prefer to play a rogue-ish game or an RPG-ish game.

Craig_Perry Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Id say Don't starve is better since terraria is a very linear game with little to do at the end except spam summon those same bosses over and over. whereas in Don't starve its almost always got something to do and its non-linear as you can progress however you wish prioritising what you want to do.

Blythe Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I bought Terraria and Don't Starve at the same time (nabbed them both while they were on sale), and I've been playing them both. I've logged about 5 times the amount of time into DS compared to Terraria within a couple of days of buying them. I enjoy both, but I've been enjoying DS much more. Why? I put it down to atmosphere. Survival horror in the manner that Don't Starve capitalizes on hooks me every time, whereas Terraria fails to capture my imagination. I end up feeling a bit more connected to the characters one can play in DS, whereas I simply shrug my shoulders if I die in Terraria and think "Oh, okay, I'll give it another go." I feel a bit pidgeonholed at times in Terraria during gameplay, but I feel a bit more free in DS. Terraria has the advantage of multiplayer...but I rarely, if ever, play anything that uses multiplayer, so I suspect I'm missing out on the true gem that game has to offer, as it seems it would be more fun in a group.

Er, I'd say that Terraria has a lot more content in the late game than Don't Starve. Having said that, I have logged significantly more time into Don't Starve than Terraria. Even though the latter has a lot more time consuming activities. I think that says a lot about which game I prefer.Which one is objectively 'better' is much more difficult for me to give an opinion on, considering they really are completely different games.

Cookiez Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have great feelings for both games. However,they have "Pros and Cons". For an example, Don't Starve captures the feeling of adventure,But sometimes,It gets a bit...Ya know. As for Terraria, It's a world filled with magical ores and weird weapons. However, Terraria forces you to spam sommon the same bosses. Over and Over and Over.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
