I sunk so many hours into Capcom vs SNK 2 on PS2 that it's possible I might have even been almost competent. Then again, I did main Ken, soooooo... maybe not.

I like the idea of the Suikoden remasters but I know I don't have the kind of time or attention span needed anymore. Those games are beastly. Though... I do wonder if you can still push the one gate out of the way in S2 and access a much later area. I have some fond memories of making the mad dash to town to get a save point, then barely surviving one or two fights in order to get a massive level boost. Did it trivialize the combat for most of the game? Yes. Did I have fun on my 3rd or 4th playthrough? Also yes.
