Kojima trolled me by making Raiden the main character of MGS2 and I don't know if I can ever forgive him for that. All positive aspects of Raiden have been tainted by this.
For that reason, the closest thing Raiden can be to the best player character, is being the best worst player character. He's epicly fail and I hate him.

I personally think it's an epic twist and I think the character they chose to do it with couldn't of been a better choice. Farewell.

What other game do you play as a stinky turd weiner guy who all his experience is basically from playing video games all the time, but he still manages to be a bit of a badass.

RAiden is a baby bitch loser wishing he was Snake the whole game... that is, until he gets his hand on some Hanzo steel, and it's time for this Gamer to take revenge on the world! This is my dream!

Is it handsome in here, or is it just me?


Snake takes out Rex but then Raiden takes out like 40 Rays so who is the real badass?

Trick question because the Oscar goes to Ocelot for his work on the Solid Snake Simulation tm.

Raiden is like the ultimate gamer.

Ghost Babel-era Raiden is the best player character of all time, and also very meta, which is a very MGS thing

Now prepare yourselves! You're the guests of honor at the Greatest Kung Fu Cannibal BBQ Ever!

Revengence Raiden is awesome because he's become what he always wanted to be- an awesome cyborg ninja that kills everything while chewing on scenery- and yet he's still a huge dork.

Where does it hurt?
Raiden kept the HF Blade after MGS2 and decided to learn to use it

by watching tons of samurai movies

Agreed. I like that the game bait and switches you and playing as Raiden successfully enhances the feeling of being out of the loop and out of control of the situation, and then suddenly you're fighting alongside snake and the colonel is telling you to shut off your console and it's awesome.

Snake died on the tanker 2 years ago

If that happened, it would be hilarious to see gamers who have never watched those movies complain about Snake Plissken being a solid snake ripoff.
