Hey EM, the thing about Raiden is he is a character designed to represent the masses of humanity waiting to be controlled. He IS you, me, lazy, and everyone else here! When you get annoyed at his whining or whatever else he does, you are getting annoyed at that part of yourself. THAT'S what I got from the game anyway. In that sense, I found Raiden to be an excellently crafted character.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
