Okay, if you whine about spoilers, "Ending" and "MGSV" is kinda a obvious spoiler alert. But because i'm OK I'll put my post in a spoiler tag. Also, if you think you have beat the game and have not beat mission 46, you have not beaten the game
[spoiler]Am I the only one disappointed by the story? Yes the whole "You are actually the Medic" shit sorta fits with the lore, but it's cheap. I wanted a game about Big Boss, I wanted to see Outer Heaven be created, I wanted to see why Kaz leaves Big Boss, and I wanted to see Big Boss go nuclear. Not the Venom Snake. It's kinda made me mad when I learned that the guy who I associated with Big Boss is not Big Boss, and has nothing to do with Big Boss.
The whole Parasite thing was alright I guess, but it really kinda got kicked out when you realize it has nothing to do with the other MGS's.. Granted the quarantine zone mission was great and depressing. I had to kill my favorite Diamond Dog, but this scene kinda faded once I realize that it's not Big Boss who's doing this.
Oh yeah, they killed off Skullface too early, they hyped him up in GZ, then you only see him in like 5 cutscenes before he dies
And lets not forget the cut-content! They cut out the entire Mission 51, which you can search up if you haven't found out about it yet
So yeah, I'm kinda angry, mostly because the lack of story in my Metal Gear, and how the game I expected to be about Big Boss, is not about Big Boss. Though I kinda like Venom Snake, he actually cares about his men and goes to extreme hieghts such as going alone in the Quarantine Zone to prevent more members from dying. But Imma end this rant now [/spoiler]
Though I seriously doubt that a lot of you have not beat the game yet.

Edited by Bluefoxx3: 9/9/2015 12:55:42 PMIt was pretty obvious from the start that you weren't going to be playing as Big Boss himself. He didn't know Russian when The Boss herself taught the Big Boss how to speak it, he also smoked real cigars, not 'phantom cigars' even if they were meant to help pass time. "V Has Come To." Kojima had this planned since MGS2. I thought the story was good. This whole time we learned that Big Boss was planning his resurgence with no doubt the creation of Zanzibarland. If you remember the speech Liquid Ocelot had with Old Snake in MGS4 when they were at the top of his new "Outer Heaven". He was also talking about his recollections with Big Boss when he was helping him with the original Outer Heaven which we now know is Mother Base 2.0 in Phantom Pain. I can't remember which section, but they had even mentioned Big Boss's phantom in MGS4 and the possibility that the body Eva was protecting was probably Big Bosses phantom since the real Big Boss appeared in the end of MGS4 with Zero. What I didn't like about Phantom Pain was Quiet's ending, I had just unlocked her Sniper Wolf equipment but was never able to use it. I only get to see glimpses of it when replaying Cloaked In Silence on Extreme Difficulty. I spent alot of GMP on her weapons only to never be able to use them since they required high R&D levels. Getting the anti-material sniper rifle for her would've helped alot for replaying missions where I had to deal with soldiers in Riot Suits. But there's already a change.org petition going about in bringing Quiet back as a playable buddy. Players are even willing to pay for a DLC that bring Quiet back as a buddy.
