NergalJr Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 All right, so I'm tight on money, and I frequent Don't Starve. I usually never get that far though because I always wind up dying due to some stupid reason. Is RoG worth the purchase? I hear it adds a lot of new stuff, but I wanted to be sure.

Maximum124 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If you really enjoy don't starve then it's worth it because it adds a lot to the game, it doubles whats already there.

MaxStrategy Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yeah tons of new stuff, and seasons are cool. I'd say its a lot more difficult than vanilla though.

Rosten Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yes so very, very much yes, Honestly, playing without RoG now feels like playing without 4+ updates, because that's about how much content it adds to the game.......If each update were 4 times bigger than the usual updates.

Materite Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 *kneels down in front of you*Young lad, let me tell you a story.There was once a day of peace. You didn't have to bother with overheating in Summer or getting wet from rain. The only true threat was the Deerclops, who was still a pushover.Then... then came the Reign of Giants. The fortresses of the Players..they were all destroyed. The Bearger ruled during the Autumn. The Dragonfly ruled during the summer. The Deerclops reigned over Winter, and was stronger than ever. The Gmoose stomped over land during Spring...We lived in terror.The giants prospered.But then, a brave adventurer by the name of Wilson felled these mighty beasts. We had a huge celebration! Even the spiders joined in our festival.Then, a young boy by the name of Webber accidentally angered a spider.He was eaten.He was never digested.They're best friends, now.Wilson tried to kill Webber's attacker with his Ham Bat....His ham bat fell off of the bone, a pile of rot.A Catcoon ate said rot.The Catcoon puked up wet goop.After a moment of disgust, the entire village had a feast! They ate berries, drumsticks, carrots, and even the very-rare dragonfruit pie.The village was prospering again.But then, Biiiiiigfoot came down and crushed the entire city, killing everyone and destroying any signs of human life.THE END To make sure this post isn't completely pointless..Yes! Get it! It's only $5, which is MORE than worth it.

BurningBalls Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Reign of Giants is huge.

emrextreme Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Once you get used to play the rog, vanilla seems like a practice mode to learn the basics. It doesn't feel like the real game anymore.

goldfish911 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I would recommend it once you master vanilla gameplay(which I still have not done.)Otherwise, if you hated freezing, you'll hate RoG even more with freezing rain, summer heat, and...I made the mistake of starting in spring and my character was pretty much as good as dead by day 7. It has a lot to get used to.Don't get me wrong, the extra content is great though.

Sporb Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I definitely think RoG is worth it. Let me put it this way: in the vanilla game, I'm bored and give up on a world before day 80. But I'm on day 120 in one of my RoG worlds, and I don't see myself running out of things to do any time soon. So, yeah, there's a lotta new content. I don't know that RoG make the game that much harder, but it does add a whole bunch of new stuff to figure out and new threats to worry about. So, if you don't know how to deal with most things in the 'vanilla' game, I wouldn't suggest moving on to RoG just yet.

d3v1n96 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yes, but then again I may not be the most unbiased person, every time klei makes a new don't starve product I know I will end up throwing my money at them.

Blucher Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The new content is great, and I really enjoy the boss monsters (though the goslings are a bit broken), but I feel the game needs more balancing now than it did. In particular, I think they went overboard with Summer and adding weather and seasons to the caves was a bad move, imo. A lot can be fixed with the improved world customization menu, but the caves (unfortunately) still lack custom settings. With the expansion, I find myself spending all my time maintaining a basic level of survival and turtling in my base for days on end rather than going out and accomplishing goals. All told though, I would recommend the expansion. Mods (as much as I hate using them) can fix most every problem.

InaneDugong Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I know I shouldn't be saying this, but if you're as poor as me, torrent it with the intention of buying it if you play more than 3 hours. $5 can be a lot to someone, so give it a try to make sure you won't regret it.

Try not to reason with price so much as what they're getting, ye? how can you say if something is, and i quote, "worth the buy" without factoring in price? If it was 3000quid it wouldnt be worth the buy even if it had double the content. If the question had been "is RoG good?" then i wouldnt need to factor in price to answer. but that wasnt the question.
