The last 2 months of the year are very tight with my internet data caps, 11 GB is a lot. Should I wait until Januari to play this? Anyway the game got an essential from Eurogamer http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-11-30-xenoblade-chronicles-x-review Doesn't count anymore since they chickened out of giving scores, yet still great. |
This video show cases all the different data packs in action alongside the game without them installed. Certain load times like fast-travelling are significantly reduced. Also keep in mind that there's a lot less pop-in and slightly improved textures in places as well on top of the faster loading
And not just loading, models like NPCs, enemies and the like will have a lot less pop-in. You'll be able to see things much further away before they suddenly appear on the screen as you're travelling.
