The Outer Worlds, the sci-fi RPG developed by Obsidian and involving writers of the original Fallout games, has officially received a release date on the Nintendo Switch. The game was already released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One in October 2019. Switch owners will be able to grab their copy of the game this March 6th. The announcement comes from a tweet by the game's publisher Private Division:


Note that the physical release will include a downloadable code instead of a cartridge.

I agree it is pretty weird for them to cheap out on the cart, but then not be cheap enough just to leave out a "physical release" altogether.
Those who are crying over no game cartridge just to let you kno when you die you stil hav no game cartridge
With that logic, we shouldn't own anything. Not to mention, hand-me-downs are a thing.

Well, I still have yet to play this game, although I look forward to it. If the port is good, maybe I'll get it when I finally get a switch. I do feel like this is better as a PC style game for me, though. I'll have to see. Good to see more things on the switch, nonetheless.
Stinks there's no cartridge, as I much prefer those as well (I specifically tracked down the cart for Striker Pack and Shovel Knight 3DS, lol). The game would be too big, is my guess. Hmm.

I logged about 30h on it but i beat it on every lvl difficulty and unlocked every trophie. Took a bit longer. First play through was maybe 7 to 8h
I'm soz mate I think if you ask anyone here saying first playthrough you did in 7 8 hours prob on the pathetic easy level lol then Yr not having fun with the game-just rushing through it-so I'm guessing yr one of those guys who play any game even if don't like just to get trophies like tht sad idiot hakoom and roughdawg who even admitted it he plays games they don't enjoy just to get trophies now tht is sad lol if I'm wrong correct me but I will say tht anyone who starts a game on Easy so they can get trophies quicker should look at themselves and think how sad is tht

I think it is way more honest than most of the thrid party games on the Switch which inside the card there is only the executable and to properly run the game, "an update" (which is the game itself) is required.
but even if they do that it's essentially then a transferable download code, and that mitigates most of the download only gripes, you can sell it, trade it give it to a friend/family member when your finished and they can actually use it, with a download code only, you get none of those options, dont get me wrong I'm not a fan of the day 1 required patch to play but at least it's a middle ground

Troll be trolling heavy. Like anyone cant look at your post history and see that. Just keep taking the unpopular side and keep trying might work on someone one day. As far as my play style its mine dont like it go fuck urself. Ive only 100% 3 games and its because i like them. If i didnt i got plenty of others to play.

I just don't understand the rationale: You buy a download code!
Just go to the eShop and get it there, damn it! Why are they creating more plastic and paper in order to sell a boxed download code?!
People buy games in stores because of the cartridge and to avoid the download, not because of the single use download code.

they are trying to meet collectors half way.

Surely you jest, kind amigo.

In a world where you desperately need to put a stop to waste, selling a boxed download code is nothing but downright stupid.
There is no logical explanation for it. I'll call Trump to bombard that people's office in order to sterilize the world of stupid people.

I don't troll I mostly reply to what I see as people complaining all the time and if they complain about something then they should expect a complaint back be it in a healthy as can be debate - all I'm saying tht anyone who plays on easy just to get trophies quicker thts possibly the saddest thing someone can do in a game

This game is just a big meh.
Most disappointing game I played last year.
You're one of the 0.0001% that didn't like this masterpiece

Who are you to tell other people how to play their games? Nice if you have the time to play every game on ultra hard, fail at the same spots fifty times and retry - that is just artifically stretching the game time. Doesn't change the fact that the main story is merely 6-8 hours long, including cutscenes. It's still very good, I don't deny that, it just doesn't have that much content. No wonder you put 40 hours into this game that way. Get a girlfriend or go work regular hours, then you understand why people might want to play on easy but still enjoy the whole story, just in a whole lot less of time. You're the pathetic one here if you scoff others for that.

Great, more digital only games to take up space on the MicroSD. That's why I buy everything I can physically. That, and I just like having a physical copy of the game.
It's likely going to take up a lot of space on the SD too. At least more than 32 GB otherwise they'd use a cartridge.

The game is... Ok, I certainly love its choices, at times it does have you question the morality behind the characters, and the weight of your actions, but it's definitely not as memorable of an experience from beginning to end as New Vegas was, which I must admit was hard to begin with seeing as NV is now a classic nostalgic piece of art too many.

However nostalgia aside, Obsidian still didn't hit the mark, games like this should be 100+ hours of content farming, and exploration on top of story, and lore, and not at a stretch 30 hours... It seems like they didn't have enough funding to handle something this big, or they was made to rush it out to market, shame.

A lot of people found it too easy and very cramped. Inventory management was shitty, too. Look on metacritic.
I'm not saying it's a bad game, but I was expecting a 9/10 and got a 7/10. Which is dissappointing to me.
I was only a bit disappointed when I discovered that three of the planets on the map aren't accessible at all, which is probably just preparation for upcoming DLC. It ended very suddenly. Otherwise it was a quite enjoyable experience, close to New Vegas back in the day, only shorter

New vegas was by far a superior game, definitely a 9/10. It felt bigger and more challenging in every way, I just plowed thorugh the outer worlds without dying once. Meh.
