Currently playing MGS2 for the first time. I enjoy it except for the fact that you don't play as a cool Solid/Naked/Venom Snake but as the lamest "twink" ever. The best part of the game so far was when you got to be disguised as a uniformed mook because even the mooks look cooler than Raiden.

If you think that's bad today, imagine how fucking infuriating it was for those of us who bought MSG1, followed all the news about MSG2, bought a shitty PS2 game just so we could buy the demo in the boat, got overfuckingexciting at what was coming...

only to find out you'd don't play as Solid Snake. And then trying to figure out real hard what you need to do to unlock snake (maybe it's highest difficulty no kill?!) and then nope, you're stuck as Snake for the whole fucking game.

Funny story: Konami was pissed that MGS didn't sell all that well in Japan, so they did the bane of all sanity to find out why: focus testing. And the response they got was that schoolgirls were turned off by Snake's rugged Western manliness and preferred a more pretty boy protagonist. And then the Konami execs went "Hey, maybe Japanese schoolgirls will buy this game of tactical espionage action if we have a white-haired pretty boy as the lead!" Needless to say, it worked out about as well as any other attempt to diversify a product's appeal ever has.

raiden is so boring that mgr's popularity is 80% just because of the antagonists

Its a shame Raiden never had a dream or played college ball.

he isn't even fucking humanly relatable, like all of the winds and sam all have their own reasons for fighting (even sundowner because $$$) and raiden is just like "haha i like it when you cut the guy and the red stuff comes out"
and yet they expect us to side with him
IMO sundowner is different because even though he also likes to cut the guys and see the red stuff come out, he's fully aware of it (and has a very iconic presence in the game, just like the others not you mistroon)

And here I always thought Kojima was just butthurt everyone loved the Cyborg Ninja so much (since that was a Shinkawa idea) and decided to repay all the people who loved the ninja by giving them a twink ninja.

Okay, you've rustled my jimmies and triggered my autism. The entire point of MGR is that its an inversion of the Hero's Journey. You know, hero confronts inner demons, is forced to make a choice, becomes better than who he was. Raiden doesn't. He starts off the hero, having already battled said demons and overcome them, and over the course of the game abandons his pursuit of justice in pursuit of vengeance. There's a reason Sam tells Raiden during the train battle at the start he refuses to let his sword cut, even though the sword wants it. Add in some muttering from Raiden about how his sword isn't to be used in anger and blah blah blah. Over the course of the game the villains all tell him he's been lying to himself about what he is, and where someone who is determined to be and stay a hero would refute said words through actions and thus prove the villains incorrect, Raiden makes the conscious choice to live up to their remarks about him. And of course they all end up regretting it. There's a reason Armstrong is in the place of Raiden's shadow at the end, Raiden even quoting the man as to why he's gone rogue during the epilogue.

Also Mistroon isn't. According to Doktor those knockers of hers are likely au naturale, perhaps the only natural parts of her left. No cybernetics or titty skittles there.

he said 80%. what the fuck's a man gonna know about titty jiggle accuracy? besides that shit can be replicated way better, especially in actual 2018 compared to future-prediction
she also is: terrible at makeup, enjoys torturing small innocent creatures, and enjoys indirectly killing people she is in a relationship with

You act like Doktor, East German Mad Scientist that he is, has never bolted a pair of fake tits on someone, cyborg or not. As to Mistral, she's French-Algerian. What were you expecting, puppy cuddling? Her being an insane dominatrix is just being a stereotypical French femme fatale.

Metal Gear's art style doesn't seem like it would lend itself well to waifu shit. Maybe Acid does. They should remaster those.

Well, yeah. Transwomen are men. Joking aside, he's an East German mad scientist. The man probably jerks it to cyborg scheisse pornos and its almost guaranteed he has several terabytes of super-HQ videos of cyber-doms like Mistral beating people and beating people off. Because he's probably a fucking sexual deviant like every other creepy German, especially those fascinated by body modification.
