I guessed it from the beginning back in 2015 because...well Big Boss never had a chunk of steel in his head at the end of MGS 4.

I was sadly spoiled for this reveal, that was all I knew about the game. I had played all the other games in the series blind so all the plot twists were surprising to me like liquid impersonating Miller, Plisken being Snake and so on, except KZfaq kept spoiling me saying big boss was not big boss and so on, all I knew was that venom snake was not big boss, but I didn’t know big boss was Ishmael, so I got part of the plot twist at least

Yea it was spoiled for me too but unlike Batman Arkham City it was still one of my favorite games of the 8th generation (easily top 3) but I thought Venom Snake was a clone of Big Boss like Solid, Liquid, Solidus Snakes not one of your hench men but at least it was it was still shocking that the real Big Boss was the Bandaged man helping you escape the hospital in the beginning of the game

I don’t call these obvious, more like subtle clues. I think they’re more clever clues than anything else I’m thinking MGSV must be considered one of the best games of all time. Only reason for me saying this is simple. The game is 8 years old and we are still analyzing and studying it like if it were a classic novel. Personally I think that’s a tell of great story telling

Recently bought a PS4, and my first order of business was another 100% playthrough of Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain. Just finished 100% this past Thursday, so I appreciate that even 7+ years after it first came out, you're still finding new ways to cover this game. Gonna be weird when the servers eventually go offline if they never get around to revealing the final truth surrounding the nonsense of those Phantom Nukes.

My theory why Huey is so confused, but not Kaz, is that Kaz has horrible eyesight, nearly blind by the time of MGSV. He couldn't notice the little differences in their faces. Huey, with glasses and better eyesight is confused at the little differences, remember, Huey is basically a mad scientist, he is smart enough to notice little things.

I'm such a sucker and a fanboy for Metal Gear solid 3 that it hurts me when I admit that I think overall my favorite in the series is actually Metal Gear solid 5 But it's because despite all of the issues with the actual narrative structure of the game, they're just isn't another game in the franchise that I enjoyed actually playing as much as I enjoyed this one, so many people said that the side activities were too boring and repetitive but I was always eager to jump in and do all of them over and over again because of the amount of ways you can replay the game. I guess kind of like with Hitman as well since I don't really pay attention to the scoring system and I would rather just find different ways to just meet the mission / complete the objective these games open themselves up to me as some of the most highly replayable games I've ever experienced. So in just one playthrough of MGS5 I easily dumped over a hundred hours into it, never mind my subsequent playthroughs But getting onto the narrative topic of this video, I had that twist ending spoiled for me when I was like halfway through the game so all of a sudden all of these hits kind of started to become obvious to me until I finally got the damn cutscene that revealed it. I still hate it. Anytime I'm ever playing this game in my head Canon this is indeed still big boss. But there are so many subtle hints that are there, all I can think is if they were given more time to actually flush this entire story out perhaps it could have been something more captivating than it actually ended up being It feels like such a waste of Kiefer Sutherland as well, he barely speaks but yet if you start listening to the voice tapes he actually has a lot of dialogue and sounds really good, he just doesn't say a damn thing in the cutscenes lol Overall the twist just seems like an unnecessary way to try and retcon some kind of reason why you would fight big boss twice in the old MSX games that most people probably never play it anyway. Games were a lot simpler back then I didn't really ever question why we needed a reason that you would repeat a boss fight against the same villain at the end of two different games, I never questioned why we killed shao Kahn twice in Mortal Kombat, so I certainly didn't care that we killed Big Boss twice in early Metal Gear games But here we are and now we know that we killed Big bosses stunt double basically and then we finally killed him, except we didn't but I'm not going to get into Metal Gear solid 4 lol

3:33 This topic is actually pretty layered to throw you off. If you try to interrogate a soldier before extracting an interpreter Ocelot will state that Venom Snake can‘t remember any other language because of the splinter in the right part of his skull. But that can’t be true since the language region is located in the left part of the brain. Ocelot is clearly lying.

@@SighManP The problem with starting with MGS5 is in the time line ground zeros/phantom pain would be the 3rd game in the canon order So its a poor way to start because much of the context is lost or not understood Release order. (Not including the 2 SNES games) 1998 - Metal gear solid (ps1) - canon wise 2005 2001 - Metal gear solid 2 (ps2) - canon wise this the 2nd to last game - 2007/2009 2004 - Metal gear solid 3 (ps2) -the 1st game in the series canon wise 1964 2008 - Metal gear solid 4 (ps3) - The final game in the canon - 2014 2010- Metal gear solid peace walker - (psp) - the 2nd game canon wise -1974 - must play if you want to understand mgsv better - many missed it since it was a psp title however was released on ps3 as a mgs collection 2014/2015 - Metal gear solid V ground zeros/phantom pain - (PS4, XB1, PC) - 1975 and 1984 so whoever referred you to Starting with MGSV Did you a great disservice - you will be mind blow with mgs2 especially since it was made in 2001 - if you are familiar with deus ex which released in 2000 these two games have the most profound moments in gaming history and mgs4 the legendary conclusion of this 50 year story - holds the Guinness book of world records of longest cutscenes in gaming - mgs2 and 4 are my favorites peace walker being 3rd
