Holy fuck, a core memory. My friends spent a lot of time with Portable Ops playing against one another on the bus ride home. Despite having to fight with PSP controls, it was still a pretty solid game. Did anything more ever come of Null as a character? I know Raiden is the official poster boy child-soldier-turned-cyber-ninja of the series, but I didn't play the later entries to know if he played a part.

Also, Calling to the Night is up there with Snake Eater as far as MGS music goes. I still find myself listening to this from time to time.

Portable ops isnt directed by Kojima its non-canon. He made peace walker in response to how awful PO was.

Anyone whon hasnt played PO I reccomend looking up the cutscenes on youtube it's basically "what if there was 10 psycho mantises and they dont do any of cool stuff he did"
The fact people still speak about the game shows it's better than Slop of the week like Diablo 4.
Whenever I see someone talking about DS they haven't played it. But also the story isn't great so it won't appeal to most people. The setting has some clever ideas but a lot of it is also very cheesy and not in the endearing Kojima way but more in the lifeless MGSV way where some things feel undeserved. I like it for it's gameplay personally and still play it now and then.
