Yo, So I got the urge to play DS again after probably 6-8 years, but I was wondering what the best way to play now is?
I know DST has way more features now than base DS, but I don't have any friends to play with, nor do I particularly want to badger my friends to play with me, or join with randoms. I also know DST is designed with multiplayer in mind, so will I even be able to get the full experience out of DST's features if I plan to play alone? And how much culture shock will there be with all the new features of DST to a player who hasnt played the series for the better part of a decade?
On the flipside, if I get DS, I plan to just get DS & Reign of Giants (shipwrecked and hamlet never interested me too much), but has DS gotten any patches (bug fixes or not) since DST, or are the two pretty much different by this point in both features and mechanics? I know DST has the content from DS & Reign of Giants, but I don't know how it is implemented, if it is 1:1, or if they tweaked and changed aspects of it to fit DST better (didnt they make the giants raid bosses?)
I would like to re-experience DS again, but if DST has a lot more cool new features that wont be too confusing, give me culture shock, and not having to be Together with someone to utilize, then I'm certainly down to give it a shot.
So I ask you, humble community: which would you say is best for me, someone who is looking for a pure singleplayer experience, looking to relive playing DS when I first played it years ago on my Wii U (yeah laugh it up. who actually owned a Wii U, am I right?)
