No, he is awful imo, whining over and over about a dead women all the time doesnt make him good complex  character, in fact, it make him look like a petulant manchild, PW was just awful in that aspect, people like to crap on Raiden, but looking at the games, BB is the biggest spoiled child in the series, i guess a beard/gruff voice combo can do wonders to mask an whiny idiot. You can have a good emotional character done right like Joel from The Last of Us without the whole -in your face- cheap drama like Kojima does.

My issue with Big Boss is about 10 years of developmental quirks that Solid Snake earned(bandanna, smoking habits, parroting of words, fetish for cardboard boxes, random grunts/mood swings, etc), being copied and pasted onto Naked Snake to ensure success from the Raiden backlash, to the point that he's even reciting MGS1 lines, with the MGS3 "Scene" theme as some sort of validation.

And at the same time, ignoring both Solidus and Liquid's connection to him, to make him a complete doppelganger of the previous main avatar that people wanted to play as, hell he has his own Otacon clone now, and is a dog loving guy too, not to mention the same friggin iconic MGS1 Sneaking Suit.

I really hope MGSV is the last of Big Boss. In all fairness, at least Big Boss isn't whining about The Boss anymore.
