I'm a little surprised by the revisionist history going on in here. I remember Raiden being absolutely reviled during MGS2 for being a girly idiot and having those inane conversations with Rose (now SHE is the worst character in the MGS universe by quite a large margin).
So Kojima made a joke out of him in MGS3 to appease the fans (Raikov) tried to make him "cool" in MGS4 because he didn't want to write him out of the series. It didn't really work. At least for me. I mean, I didn't hate Raiden to the extent I did in MGS2, but it was all just smoke and mirrors having him jump around the screen hacking at Gekkos to try and make me like him. And besides, the coolest scene with Raiden in (the split screen where you're controlling Snake in the other) was wasted on me, because... I was controlling Snake at the time. I didn't have time to watch Raiden :P
But yeah. Both exclusive contents are kinda lame, to be honest, and they make me angry because I do not want this practice to be the future of gaming; and yet it seems it's actually the here and now of gaming.
