That was what I was trying to sayI thought maybe they were trying to discredit him and stop the game from selling well. Plus I've heard plenty of leaks about plenty of movies or games and they aren't always accurate anyway just with all the drama I heard going on, I don't really know the details, just makes the leaks less credible. While I think it's best to not take these leaks for confirmation until the game's endings have been uploaded, evidence to support their legitimacy can be found in reviews across various major websites. Many reviewers have reported feeling disappointed by the story, particularly the ending. One person said they even felt hollow by the plot twists. It's not proven yet, but there's certainly a lot to support that we're not playing as Big Boss. Could you show me some reviews that say that? I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious... This is the first review where I heard complaints about the story "feeling hollow":

Based on what I've read from comment sections on other sites, other reviews have said something similar.

Alright from what I read, they said the story feels hollow because they explore the use of Child Soldiers and such but the story doesn't do anything about other than acknowledging them. It's a big stretch to automatically justify the theory that venom snake =/= big boss, just because the story feels hollow, I mean look at Portable Ops.

Where did you read that they were referring specifically to child soliders? What I heard the reviewer say in the video after mentioning "the game's big twist": "It is indeed crazy, and hard to see coming, but it also left us initially feeling a bit hollow."

We've already seen child soldiers in the trailers, so I don't know how that's a big twist. Venom not being Big Boss sounds like much more of a twist to me.
