Fallout 4 can fit in the games word 5 times, Witcher 3 can fit in the games word 3 times, how does the Wii U do this? There is also no loading in the world wtf.

Wow 400km2 is big.

Will still fit into Just Cause 3 2.5 times though.

Crazy to think what they could do on a more powerful console with a media type that didn't limit them to 25gb.

True - it's also impressive that it has to stream from the optical drive.

it installs 9gb into the hdd actually

HDD? Do you mean flash storage, how will that work on the 8GB models.

TBH I never noticed if any Wii U game installs.

Can you install on external HDD?

@Scottie the WiiU supports external HDDs

Yeah I know but the WiiU only has USB 2.0 so I just wonder. Plus will the 8GB guys know they will need external storage.

OK, thanks google it's optional

The Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles X website was updated today with information regarding file installation. Players can obtain four downloads from the eShop that will ultimately reduce load times in the game when using the disc version.

There are four files to download in total. Here’s a breakdown of each:

Field/Basic Data Pack (Large effect): 2GB, just basic data
Enemy Data Pack (mid): 2.7GB, loading improved on the field
Player Data Pack (mid): 3.6GB, loading times improved while changing equipment
Doll Data Pack (mid): 1.7GB, shortens time for Dolls deployment

OK so moving on

Deal breaker?

The English version of Xenoblade Chronicles X, which is heading to the Wii U early next month, ditches the option to adjust the size of its avatar's busts in its character creator.

Well its another step in the self-censoring that Nintendo is taking with their games.

I know the removal of the chest slider is silly, but americans get offended by everything these days who knows what's right or wrong, the only way to beat censorship is to change the way society views video games.
but that kind of stuff has been going on since the beginning of gaming across all systems, so it's nothing new really, you could even call the translation itself as a form or censorship because of certain phrases that don't make sense in english.
People tend to be more vocal when the sexual oriented stuff is removed, you should see the shitstorm that atlus got over dungeon travelers 2 recently over two altered images or the shitstorm.
Censorship happens more often on japanese localisations of western games
