10 Video Game Protagonists Who Were Way Too Satisfying To Kill

6. Raiden - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty

Before he became an awesome cyborg ninja in the fourth Metal Gear Solid game, Raiden was an instant punching bag for MGS fans, as Hideo Kojima unexpectedly decided to appoint him as the protagonist of the second game in place of Solid Snake. The effeminate, irritating Raiden was a considerable step down from the grizzled Snake, though Kojima was at least smart enough to include a plethora of ways with which players could vent their frustration. The nature of the game's primary setting, the Big Shell, allowed gamers to hurl Raiden to his death in a number of creative ways, be it hanging off the edge of a strut and simply letting go, cartwheeling over a gap, or "accidentally" slipping on some bird poop and falling to your death. Raiden's girlish scream and the anguished cries of Rose never got old: it was a small consolation for having to spend 12 hours playing as this white-haired nancy boy.
