Do you like hurting other people? Ten years later, it's probably the music that drove you to it, let's be honest.

You’re not going to be playing as your favorite character. Here are five games that lied to you about the main character."

MGS2 is still my favorite entry in the franchise and Raiden was my favorite character even before MGS4 came out. I liked his lack of composure. Sure, Rose was annoying af but I don't fault him for that, I fault her for it.
MGS2 and Halo 2 are interesting contrasts. I preferred playing as Snake over Raiden but I preferred playing as the Arbiter over Master Chief.
Where did MGS2 "lie"? Where did it say I was "supposed" to play as Solid or Solid was the main character?
Metal Gear Solid 5 Ground Zeroes you play as Naked. But in Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain you play as Venom.
Did the Phantom Pain also lie using this logic??????? (PP is the best selling in the whole franchise) So, throw the 'more people played mgs2' argument out.
The Chinese Room's Dear Esther goes free on Steam to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this foundational title.
Eh.
I mean free is free, but I found this to be a boring slog.
Not to mention this remasters actually made the game look worse in multiple areas.
I did quite like their A Machine for Pigs and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture though.
