Shipwrecked just doesn't have that feeling that RoG had.

I'm pretty much done with it until the game is fully released.

 

Hope its interesting by then.

Why does the fact that shipwrecked is diffrent from rog make it bad?? 

do you want every new dont starve expansion pack to be a rehash of the same thing? 

I personaly like the fact that klei is mixing things up a bit, makes the game more diverse and interesting

It's not about the fact that it's different, different is fine.

 

There is however a fine line between just the right amount of change, and too much. You want the expansion for your game to bring new and exciting things to the table, while still being familiar.

It's alpha so we can't really give a true representation of SW or even think about comparing it to RoG at this moment is time. SW is doing something special, I love the colours and contrast more than anything and I hope we get more options to customise or even build more boats.

Still if we want to keep on topic. RoG alpha beats SW alpha hands down.

Also Klei was way more participative on the alpha of RoG, and that is a HUGE thing you know...

If I am being honest, I say it's the other way around.

 

SW gives you hope for the future; that maybe Wilson and the gang can finally get out of this place.

That is true to a degree, but with something like the eruptions, you are forced out of your base, which the giants also do. However, the giants serve a purpose, because if you manage to kill them, you get amazing items, to prepare you for the upcoming season. The volcano does no such thing.

 

I feel as though everything in RoG has a purpose, whereas with SW, half the things exist to annoy you, without any real purpose. Now, this could be attributed to the fact that it's in alpha, but still.

 

That's a good point. I kind of like the fact that you can't build a huge base and just stay huddled up anymore. I feel like the purpose of the volcano was to force you to prepare a sacrifice each year to avoid the instant rain of death. Be that as it may, it's not implemented yet so we don't know for sure. And the flood season forces you out to explore because it's actually drier out on the ocean than on land However, your point still stands - you don't really get anything worthwhile out of these things. We'll just have to wait and see what future updates bring
