Raiden came off as a crybaby nerd who fanboyed over Snake and everything else. He was so clueless, and just not interesting. And yes, **** Rose. She was so annoying...she thinks
her relationship with Raiden takes precedence over the
fate of millions. I was so glad when I heard Raiden say "you're a despicable woman" when I pressed R1 and R2 during her codecs. I would have ditched her for Emma, Emma was pretty interesting and by god I was struck hard when I saw her die, especially with Otacon's following reaction...MGS2 was good, don't get me wrong, but it had some bad screw ups. I did like Raiden more as the game went on, but I hate his emo attitude that kind of followed. So he was just ok, nothing like Otacon, all of the Snakes, Ocelot, etc. I think Raiden's fanbase is kind of crazy because they defend him pretty crazily, though.
Also I am with everyone else on getting this great look for Snake in MGS2, only to get Old Snake in MGS4...seriously I hate that. We only got two 3D games with Snake, and he basically cameo'd in MGS2. Compare this to Big Boss and how many 3D games he's getting.
Thanks for the video!
I have never been big on Sessler. He seems to try to stir up things in the gaming business to be relevant. His outrage over the “Bros over Hoes” trophy was just begging for attention.
Also he thinks MGS2 is the worst of them all….
I feel so bad for Santa Monica, they didn't deserve that. GoW Ascension was not that good a game, but still. And anyone who defended Sessler during that thing with GoW should be booted off the internet, dear god his defenders were stuck up. However, I think you're onto something with trying to be relevant, good observation. Either way I never liked him, kind of a tool.
