Well it's certainly not in the first hours like in Fallout 4. According to reports you'll have to sink a lot of time before the game throws you a doll to use.

And yes, I prefer the term Dolls more than Skells. Fight me.

I agree with you. "Skells" sounds like some bullshit someone made up to make their invention sound awesome, "Dolls" sounds kinda anime-y, but also is a pretty fitting word for giant robots.

So both plausible, I guess, but I prefer Dolls.

No one answered but yeah you could leave your gears and walk around, though if you chose to do that 9 times outta 10 you'd get jumped right away by gear sized enemies that would just poo poo all over you.

yeah but apparently elma's old unit was called the doll squadron in japanese, where in english they get to be called the skelleton crew.

that alone makes the change worth it.

Dolls was a stupid name. I'm not saying I'm completely sold on Skells, though I might be now with the Skeleton Crew, but it baffles me that people are upset that they changed the name at all.

It's true. I was playing my favorite game earlier Final Fantasy 6. I love the adventures of Tina and Mash and Lock, they're all great characters, especially the way they fight Cefca. After that I played a bit of Pocket Monsters. I started with Fushigidane and by the time he evolved into Fushigibana I was completely prepared to kick Shigeru in his Pokeballs.

People are autistic and think that any localization that does more than just robotically translating text is somewhere between censorship and ruining the artistic vision.

I see, so it was more about the male sex being afraid of a strong female who imposes her feminine values on others. Interesting.

No? It was more about dolls being a stupid name. Dolls are dumb and boring. They cry "mama" and piss themselves, and that's about it. If they did actual cool things, it'd be a different story, but they don't. So they are dumb. This is fact.

I don't care about localization as a general thing, I understand things have to be changed and the like. It's really just this one thing, to me. I don't care about them changing what BLADE means or whatever, I just think Dolls is a cooler name for mechs than Skells. This is possibly due to a history of playing tons of mech games and watchings tons of mech anime though, the term Doll as a name for a giant robot comes up surprisingly often. The most famous example is probably the Mobile Dolls in Gundam Wing.

Yes.

TLDR its like a pyramid scheme and if your multiplayer match up sells enough Cutco knives, you get to fight an asynchronous raid boss.

Quick question, I'm considering actually buying a Wii U just so I can play this game (and Hyrule Warriors), will the digital version fit in the 32 GB default hard drive or is an external an absolute necessity? I know the download size is supposedly 23 GB, which WOULD fit, but sizes for console HDs can be tricky sometimes. Just wanna make sure here.

The digital version will fit, yeah. You're gonna be really tight on space though so you might as well buy a hard drive unless XBX is the only game ever you're planning to buy digitally on the Wii U.

If you're planning on getting the Hyrule Warriors dlc then I'm not sure you'll be able to fit all of it and XCX at the same time.
