Why didn’t they just call him The Phantom?

Because he's Big Boss.

Did you not pay attention to the other Big Boss's reveal speech? "I'm Big Boss, and you are too." They're both Big Boss.

Two different people with two completely different backstories can be only one thing in legend only.

So you're retarded and meant to say that they're both THE LEGEND of Big Boss, or you're intentionally throwing stale bait. Pick one.

If we all called him "Big Boss's phantom" from the very beginning then newfags would have never asked questions like "is Venom Big Boss"

Nope, they're the same person.

Because the Phantom is this guy

Because 5 = V = Vendetta and V = Venom, did you rike it?

Sure, in the end they have the same ruthless personality going on the same evil path, but one was formerly an antiheroic sap and one was formerly a nice guy. Also, one has only one human arm.

They're different people.

NOT THIS THREAD AGAIN

Because Phantom Boss would have been a dead giveaway for the twist.

Based.

How the fuck does he shoot his carbine if he's blind out of that eye? There literally is no way to use cross-eye unless if he's using some kind of offset sights on the left, and even then he couldn't expect proper accuracy at anything beyond 150 yards.

Fuck yeah schizOP is back

You talking about OP and yourself?

Those last 2 are because of Konami.

Phantom Snake sounded better

Which Snake has the biggest cock?

Video game logic. The mocap actors for him and Big Boss didn't ever wear eyepatches when they did their sessions, that's fucking stupid.
They even recorded the left eye motions at all times in all games, for both cutscene and gameplay motions.

What are other vidya protagonists with shirt sleeves.

MGSV has the strongest lore out of any of the games except for 2.

Solidus

why didn't they include the ending of the game?
why didn't they have any real boss fights?
why didn't they have any cutscenes?
why did they hire kiefer and then never have him speak?
why include the walker gear at all?

Then why is there so much hidden, d e e p lore told in this sole, measly looking intro caption from Ground Zeroes?
>formerly known by the code name "Big Boss"
There's a heavy implication here that a big spit on Big Boss's speech in the Peace Walker's true ending took place.

>why didn't they include the ending of the game?
I still firmly believe the game was supposed to continue after disarmament was reached, but they gave up on it post-launch.

>why didn't they have any real boss fights?
Quiet and Sahelanthropus are real boss fights, even if they're easy.

>why didn't they have any cutscenes?
There are quite a few of those though.

>why did they hire kiefer and then never have him speak?
He speaks less because Snek is a broken man and dead inside. He does still speak a fair bit in the tapes though.

>why include the walker gear at all?
Because it's cool as fuck.

>le disarmament!!
I refuse to believe that shit's canon.

>I refuse to believe that shit's canon.
Kojima is big on ARG-type shit nowadays. It started with PT, then followed it up with the FOB shit that flopped, and then did it again with Death Stranding's strand game bullshit. He's straight up said that nuclear disarmament is the goal of MGSV, it's not unthinkable that there was some sort of reveal or conclusion hidden behind it. But like I said, they gave up on it post-launch because Kojima was already gone at that point.

>Also there are some people who literally do not connect to the internet with their consoles
So? Whatever the reward was going to be would have been delivered as a regular update, like any other game gets.

I really do not follow up on you. There's nothing leftover in the code pointing towards an update for when nuclear disarmament is reached.
I really don't follow up on you at all.

Five star post.

What don't you get, ESL-kun? It was pretty straight forward. Why would there be a "clue in the code" for a software update?

The final game has data for Kingdom of the Flies left over. If MGSV shipped with data for Mission 51 actually still in the game, in which it did, it would have data for a "never ever" Nuclear Disarmament related update too.

But it doesn't. Screw yourself.

Did he start the Bionic arm protagonist craze?

>There are still soys trying to prove that the nuclear disarmament ending isn't canon in 2020
Kill yourselves, literally.

Because that would spoil the entire game? They wanted you to think he was Naked Snake, just with a new name.

Also, there's nothing in the script footnotes that mentions a bunch of chapters to be unlocked through an update to be released after disarmament is achieved.
I'm leaning more towards me being right and you being wrong. But I could be wrong, and you could be right. We'll never know, unless someone hacks into the Konami servers.

The protagonist is always named Snake and a hero (either an actual hero or an antihero); something to do with legacy characters. MGS2 is a literal statement about this.

To call him as protagonist "the phantom" would mean breaking tradition.

That's autistic but I get it

>I still firmly believe the game was supposed to continue after disarmament was reached, but they gave up on it post-launch.
yeah, so it's unfinished blemish on the MGS series
>Quiet and Sahelanthropus are real boss fights, even if they're easy.
wow, two easy boss fights in a series almost as well known for boss fights as like fucking dark souls
even peace walker stacks up better for having at least half a dozen different types of boring mecha to fight
>There are quite a few of those though.
There really aren't. There's like 60 hours of gameplay time vs. like an hour or two of actual cutscenes and a billion hours of audio files
>He speaks less because Snek is a broken man and dead inside. He does still speak a fair bit in the tapes though.
Except the medic was a brainwashed retard who got exploded and nothing else and still able to function at a higher level than most men, and behaving as though he had the same baggage as the real big boss was stupid and invalidates the entire game
>Because it's cool as fuck.
No, it wasn't. Because despite the game having vehicle mechanics and you doing a questline where you create the ultimate vehicle, you never get to use it. You just get to deploy it on the gay away missions, where literally has a random chance of being destroyed and permanently lost regardless

This game was a fucking 5/10 even during its best moments
I can't believe the amount of fucking onions it would take to make you care about shooting all the random RNG troops during the quarantine mission, and so many of you stupid babies on the board were eating it up

>everyone acknowledges Hidden Palace, a very infamous Sonic zone that as supposed to be critical to Sonic 2's story was unfinished due to lack of ideas that the devs could come up with for the zone before deadline
>asspullers scream that Mission 51 was unfinished because of KOOOOOOOOONAMIIIIIIIIIIIII REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I really hate you all

>sonic
do you have autism?
and yeah, unfinished content matters more when it's the ending the story has no ending and also wasn't very substantive in the first place in what is a 100% story-focused series

>do you have autism?
You're saying that as if Metal Gear doesn't have any sort of autism associated with it.
This thread clearly proves it does.

I'm saying that as if the sonic fanbase isn't full of furries and diaper fetishists and homeschooled children with developmental disorders. And that's the first one you could think of.
MGS just has weebs.

The MGS fanbase has psudeointelltctualism, schizophrenics, people so obsessed with the dumbest shit, very shitty memers with no life, maladaptive daydreaming speculators treating their bullshit as fact, and adults with developmental disorders.

MGS has an autistic fanbase and you can't deny it. Actually read between the lines.
