In a way, I also concur. When we look at the game itself, we're not playing the same Metal Gear we've come to know and love. It's not the story of Snake or Big Boss. It's the story of Raiden after the events of GOTP. We're looking at the story as another side to what happens after Snake's final mission. Kinda like the varying seasons of Robotech back in the day and some other animes have done the same thing where it's the same universe but different characters that you have to learn to appriciate like Digimon and the various Yu-Gi-Oh! iterations. Just rather it should be seen as more of a different angle to the series instead of perhaps a desicration to the franchise as some people see it. Looking back on it, while I liked Ac!ds 1 and 2 better, at least Revengence wasn't as bad Portable Ops and PO+.
