Raiden
Metal Gear Solid was a beloved game, partly due to its star, Solid Snake. So when the sequel came out a few years later, fans were excited to play as their favorite character. Just one problem – the developers made the first half of the game about an entirely different character, Raiden. His blonde hair and youthful pluck set him apart from the dark-haired, battle-weary Snake. And though Raiden was pretty great in his own right, and you could play as Snake a little later on in the game, the new guy still earned the ire of many a righteous fan.
