Thoughts on Raiden? (Metal Gear)

Most people hated Raiden in MGS2. They were pissed about being decieved, he was no Snake. Fast forward a few years to MGS4 and he's had a complete makeover. He's had a Gray Fox-esque redo and he's changed in character too. Then in Rising... he's gone crazy. I'm not sure if I like new Raiden or not. Yeah he's gone back into his 'Jack the Ripper' persona but I think I preferred him from MGS4. Watch the video, he's just... scary!

  • Wasn't the best first impression (did you say... nerds?) but by the end of the game I'd really warmed to him. I wasn't huge on what was done with his character in MGS4, though. But it's done, and Revengeance looks awesome regardless.

    Raiden is a [i]great[/i] feat in video game characters. Everyone said he sucks in MGS2 - everyone hated him - but Kojima purposefully made him like that. Seeing him evolve - for better or for worse - from the mere player pawn in 2 through MGS4 and MGR is one of the most interesting things I've seen in video games.

  • MGR is a pretty good game, but this is coming from someone who's never played a Metal Gear game before, and only followed Rising because of Platinum's development. Oh god. I just remembered where I'm stuck at the moment. The bit where in Denver when [spoiler]Raiden has to fight Mistral and Monsoon again. Mistral II isn't too bad, but Monsoon was a bastard before and he's a bastard again. -blam!- him and his frustratingly long combos and his ability to dodge attacks just by dislocating his body.[/spoiler]

    • He's cool now, in 2 he was annoying. Still not as bad as Rose. God damn that woman was jealous and clingy. Anyway he's still no snake.

      • My first thoughts of him were that he reminds me of Kakashi. I still need to buy the game.. got no money though.

        • He is very inconsistent.
