Im indifferent about snake. I don't mind it, but he probably wont be my character of choice.

I don't see the big fuss some are making over him being in the game.

I mean, come'on out of the 5 games he stars in:
3 are on nintendo consoles
2 are on sony consoles
1 is on a microsoft console.

and he started on the nes, so he isn't as far out there as lets say masterchief would be.

Don't forget masterchief was in DOA 4 and no one really complained there and he fit in well to.
