With this episode, we close out 2016 by talking about Suikoden 2. I'm gonna level with you: we didn't like it, and we spend two solid hours talking about why. Please do not worry about spoilers; the game is 18 years old, quite basic, kinda bad, and also we don't talk about any of the plot points in order so if you're stubborn and/or don't believe us you can, against our recommendation, play this video game yourself with mostly minimal spoilers.
