10 Times Metal Gear Solid Was A Total Dick To Fans

2. Raiden

Depending on if you were one of the tens of thousands who were absolutely losing their minds at the very idea of next-gen Metal Gear, feel free to put this at number one. Not only did Kojima load the older pre-release trailers with fake or misleading footage to deceive fans into thinking Solid Snake was the main protagonist of MGS 2, but even throughout the finished product he did everything in his power to distance Raiden's whiney, effeminate personality from that of Snake's. Being a man who at this point in gaming history was like some messianic embodiment of pure badassery the likes of which could make grown men scream girlish Beatlemania-style screams, replacing that level of fan-adoration with the skintight-suited Raiden was a knockout slap in the face many would never recover from.
