Did People Care About The Boss?

[Solid Spartan]

Never liked nor cared for her from the start. I get the intention with her in MGS3 and setting up the relationship with Snake that wasn't exactly parental love nor was it romantic, but spending the entirety of the rest of the series focusing on her and "what she wanted" ruined everything really (from a narrative point of view anyway). There were and certainly seem to still be lots of people that liked her a lot though.

This is largely how I feel. Some flashback cutscenes might have helped flesh their relationship out, but as the game is now, I see it pretty simply as she's his mentor.
