I love the MGS franchise & MGS2 was the first of the series that I played, so I didn't have the "hey, where's Snake?" issue & perhaps because I'm a woman, I really enjoyed Raiden (although I will admit the Jack & Rose conversations got a bit annoying - I just want to save the game, darn it!)
I am totally buying this game & if there's a midnight release, I'll stand in line. But, I'm not entirely happy with it due to the storyline that they now have:
When MGS4 ended, Snake was going to live out the rest of his shortened life & die peacefully and Raiden was going to become a husband & father and stop running from a normal life. I kind of wanted the next installment to follow Johnny (Akiba) because his story could still continue, where I felt Raiden and Snake's should've stopped.
But now Raiden is head of an army or whatever & he's becoming "Jack the Ripper" again, which, don't get me wrong, sounds really cool. But, I really don't see how he can balance intense insanity with a loving family, so that means the ending of MGS4 was a lie. All that crap Rose put him through (yes, I blame her LOL) & it doesn't even work out in the end? The only acceptable explanation (to me) would be if Rose & John are killed.
& I would love to see Snake, but only in the cut scenes as a mentor or flashbacks. He's fought so hard for so long, it's time he's had a little peace. Nothing lasts forever, even fictional video game characters!
