Xenoblade X Eurogamer Preview: Maybe 2015's Most Impressive Open World

WiiU Basic owner here.

Wondering if it's really worth dropping about $55 to be able to download data packs for performance + the game digitally.

Not sure if I'll get anything else digitally but who knows.

I wouldn't say its worth it just for that, but 8GB (of which 5GB are only free for games) isn't really a whole lot, so getting a cheap HDD in the future wouldn't be a bad idea.

But here's a video comparing the game with, and without the data packs, so you can judge.

Would you have enough room to download the 2 gigabyte basic data pack? That's the one that they advertise as having the most effect anyways.
 
Xenoblade Chronicles X |OT| Bigger than Skyrim, Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 combined!

Lol, this would make for a terrible first couple of pages.
 
I want to buy the package with the wii u, the game and the artbook. Do I still need to download the datapacks even though the game is preinstalled? Will there be enough space on the black wii u for everything or do I also need an external hdd?

No need for an external HDD, the digital version of the game do not need some extra datapacks since its already running from the internal flashstorage.
HOWEVER, you probably will not have much storage left free since XBX ~22GB ? and a 32GB Wii U only have ~27GB free to use.

The data packs are only necessary if you have the physical version of the game. A 32GB Wii U should hold everything you need for this game, though it would be wise to get external storage if you intend to buy anything digital.
 
did they remove all the skimpy outfits in the game, or is it only that one loli girl who got censored? i remember from the japanese version you could get bikini armor for your custom character

They didn't even remove that, they added clothing on the 13 year old, but you still can equip the bikinis from what I have seen online on youtube at least.

- You obviously don't need the data packs when you buy the game digitally, these are for the disc version.

- Buy a 15$ 32 GB flash drive. Will fit the whole game + some extra space.
 
Well, finally got my hands on it. Interested to do a performance and visual analysis on the game as I think it's one of the nicest looking titles on Wii U. Really pushes the hardware, it seems.
