Oh please. A pedophile polemic with XCX and polygon giving it a 7.5 for being sexualized NOT, just not. I guess people is not going to be that stupid... right?

Actually, probably not.  XCX isn't as soft a target as Bayo2 since it's "sexualization" (*rolls eyes*) is not front and center at all, it's almost on the level of a gag than anything serious.  And the narrative and themes are very serious.  In Bayo2, the sexual themes and such were in your face and the story doesn't undercut it at all.  Whatever your feelings are on that, it does make Bayo2 an easy target for clickbait articles. 

Too bad.

Thanks!

I wonder why Splatoon - Yoshi and all latest major Nintendo games have hda limited editions but Kirby paint brush doesn't I was waiting for one of those before pre-ordering but too late....

just pre-order it now

Famitsu reviews of XCX translated:

Reviewer 1 – 9

Deep and long story, tough enough difficulty and highly user-friendly systems remind of old RPGs in a good way. The huge open world is packed with a countless number of stories and it will require time and effort to tackle them properly. Pilotable Dolls are irresistible gems for people who like robots, as there are plenty of customization elements and you can dynamically transform the vehicle. There is much to do, and while it may feel tiresome, you’ll get a sense of accomplishment.

Reviewer 2 – 9

It’s fun to adventure seamlessly in a huge field which overflows with the sense of freedom. Things like huge primitive creatures are also exciting. Adventuring is pleasant thanks to a handy Skip Travel feature which allows for movement by touching the map. There are plenty of strategy elements and although they are complex to an extent, unique systems like “Soul Voice”, which activates under certain conditions, are interesting. You can also enjoy other strategy elements like arts, skills and Dolls, or the customization.

Reviewer 3 – 8

The word “grand” describes this really epic game precisely. The huge field is beautiful and the excitement doesn’t run out in this adventure when the view changes from day to night. Things like the world setting are explained carefully and cut-scenes appear often so it is a bit of waste that things tend to progress slowly. It would also be good if the tempo of conversations was a bit faster. It’s nice that you can attack fiercely when you get the knack of combat. It’s also charming how enemies or Dolls launch attacks from different types of customizable parts.

Reviewer 4 – 8

It’s fun to move around and explore the seamless open world without any stress and there are many gimmics which take use of vastness of the map. The combat combines action games with a command-based system, the tempo is good, and battles are highly strategic. The story is carefully made, but there is a strong feeling of just watching a movie. There are also many cases where game systems aren’t properly explained and one has to stumble around in the dark.

Will never get tired of looking at XCX news and information...good find Curl!

XCX is so beautiful! @_@

In the public swimming pool I go to I've seen 6 year old girls showering naked in the public showers lol. Some parents...

So, since time trials aren't in 200 cc, I found it a little hard to choose my combo...

Heavy characters + Slicks were out of question because I have trouble controlling them.

I wanted to know how big the effect of heavy break drifting was and did some tests with versus races with no items at 200 cc with the following combos:

Yoshi Valley (brake drifting at 2 corners required)

1:40
1:39
1:40

Neo Bowser City (super heavy brake drifting required)

1:41
1:41
1:41

Yoshi Valley (no break drifting required, but I tried it once to cut the corners)

1:41
1:42
1:42

Neo Bowser City (heavy break drifting required, but a lot less than Rosalina)

1:41
1:42
1:41

So, tracks that require heavy break drifting are basically the same, but the heavier combo is more prone to do mistakes (needed 6 tries for 3 perfect runs).

I think the lighter character is better for online races because the disadvantage at simple tracks isn't as big as in 150 cc.
