The simple fact which you didn't address, for whatever reason: The story is mediocre at best. Whether presented in cassettes or cutscenes wouldn't change that fact. We were misled. There was no clue (granted it was probably Kojimas only option at this point) that we were anyone but Big Boss.

Skull Face could've been 1 of, if not the best villains in MGS history. His story was treated abysmally. Barely in the game, then killed by something you have no control over. No boss battle, nothing.

Side characters that either don't get proper closure or avoidable 1s.

The surprise "twist" was figured out what? a week after the release of GZ? even Medic being the double was figured out.

I hope people did enjoy this game. I'm glad people don't regret buying it. I genuinely don't like the story, but I enjoy playing this game a lot.

Don't disregard genuine complaints because you enjoyed the story. I won't disregard your opinion because I didn't I like how most people who complain about the twist manage to complain at the same time that the twist was too obvious and that it was not obvious enough, therefore they feel they were misled. You say "There was no clue that we were anyone but Big Boss" and then you go "The surprise "twist" was figured out what? a week after the release of GZ?". The twist is so bad it's both too easy and too hard to figure out. Now that's a really bad twist.
