Period. No one can stop him´´, oh god, i really miss that badass. Quite frankly, I thought Solid Snake was pretty much a psychopath after looking at The Twin Snakes and Metal Gear Solid 2, especially when he doesn't seem to harbor any real remorse for what he did, and thus wasn't particularly fond of what they did to him in Metal Gear Solid. Honestly, he participated in Zanzibar Land to get rid of his nightmares, and it was implied that he succeeded in the ending of the game, but guess what, come Metal Gear Solid, sorry, didn't happen, and Snake is now very much a callous jerk as a result, and he didn't even seem to get over it at all. Liquid Snake was right, he really did enjoy killing I guess. Probably the closest instance to Snake actually expressing remorse was in Ghost Babel, and that wasn't even canon.

Portable Ops did Big Boss's character justice. It was made very clear that he harbored guilt for The Boss's death and especially his role in it, yet at the same time, he didn't whine like a child about it. At least have some praise for Portable Ops depicting Big Boss as a guy haunted with guilt for The Boss's death without turning him into a huge whiner.
