  • 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.


  • the game is just too hungry to run properly on Switch except for small, quick games, and those game styles just don’t feel like Civ to me.

    I’m hoping the eventual Switch successor helps with that. I stayed up all night playing when I first got it and have barely touched it since.

    So far as small, “quick” games go, I’m a bit bummed that they abandoned the Civ Revolution format. The PS3/360 version was solid if flawed, and felt smooth enough even at endgame. The mobile and DS versions, however, were a Jenga tower of jank. It’s like if you asked an LLM to write a Civ game and the only parameter was “ugh.”
