Re: The Outer Worlds On Switch Updated To Version 1.2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

I picked this game up on Switch last week. After playing half of it on PS4, initially I was grossed out by the visuals and wanted to sell it.... but then I really got into it, even more than when I played it on the PS4. Got used to the visuals, and it rocks a solid 30fps with the same audio. I'm doing all the side quests, and loving managing my inventory and upgrades. Never had the time to care on the ps4. Just did the update, and I barely notice a difference, but still loving the expereince of Outer Worlds on Switch.

@60frames-please hehe that sounds like a good plan. A good thing Flame in the Flood does that I hope Windbound adopts, when you're deeper in the game and die you don't have to start at the beginning, but choose a checkpoint on the map. Huge gaps between the points, but it helps a lot! And it's helpful to start several stops back because you released where you F'ed up and try your best to avoid how you died.

@60frames-please So I'm 12 hours into Windbound now and I'm hooked! I was initially hating it after dying a bunch in the clunky start, but I haven't died in 3 days and love my big boat, and loaded arsenal. Progress feels very satisfying. So yes, in that regard it's just like Flame in the Flood. Enjoyable exploration, grab resources, manage time, and get better tools to hunt.... but Flame in the Flood had late difficulty spikes where dying and starting over felt unfair & frustrating. Windbound is MUCH MORE forgiving after you get through the initial hump. I now have a big boat, deep arsenal/armor, and when I see a new monster I feel confident with patience I can kill it (slow hunter style). Closest to dying in 3 days was food shortage stuck in the ocean with no wind... lesson learned, have lots of food just in case. (ps I did beat Flame in the Flood... lots of luck in the final parts of the river. Ending was surprisingly worth while as a narrative).

@stevep yeah, it didn't look like a style choice, more like when I played an old Gameboy Advance game on my Wii U and it got up rez 500x on my TV. It looks so much better with crisp simplistic color scheme. Anyways, its a masterpiece regardless.

ASHEN is an open-world game I recommend. I was surprised by the BOTW & Dark Souls like mash up... found myself hunting through ever crevice for upgrades and armor. Big bang for your buck.

For me (Completed All)
1. Divinity Original Sin 2
2. Witcher 3
3. Skyrim
4. Xenoblade Chronicles 1
5. Ni No Kuni

I think Dragon Quest XI deserves to be high ranked but it was so dull to me. Unpopular opinion but it felt cook cutter. Gorgeous art though.
