Board Thread:Metal Gear Solid V/@comment-86.45.17.40-20150909104026

I posted a statement on here expressing my disappointment with the story of MGSV a few days ago. Since then, I've come across a few things on the Metal Gear site on Reddit, specifically on these two pages: https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/3k1y2x/major_mgsv_spoilers_there_is_more_to_discover/?sort=new and https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/3k5id9/post_endgame_twist_is_mgsv_the_ultimate_ruse/?sort=new

The first is this: http://ingsoc.org/ There is a sense of credibility about it. The 1984 link is a little vague, but the 9/11 link is much stronger for me. The subtitle "Ground Zeroes" has always seemed a little odd to me. And do you remember the explanation about the name suggesting the existence of multiple player characters or "ground zeroes"? I guess that may have revealed the twist well in advance. The good thing is that the clock runs down on Friday, so not much waiting time.

The second is this YouTube account: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBoTu6rA1QeRBTUPJ5nLUHg/videos Now, a guy on Reddit has come out and said that he's behind it and that it's a fanmade thing, but something about him and it seems a little strange to me. The videos could be fanmade, but I have a feeling, not as strong as with http://ingsoc.org/, but strong enough. The last video is a bit of a disappointment, but some of the others can be convincing.

I don't want to get anybody's hopes up, but many parts of this whole affair seem odd. It could all turn out to be fanmade, but it seems a little soon for that kind of thing in my opinion. I think if nothing drops when the clock stops it's all nothing. It's not long to wait.

P.S. If anyone's watched the Chapter 51 video on YouTube, the last scene kind of hints at a link to 9/11 with the shot of Manhattan and at another reveal with the last few bits of dialogue. I personally thought that that video was a little too well done to be a supposed cutoff. One last thing: a guy on Reddit said that the ingsoc website says "A ##### ###### Game" when you try to share it. That sounds like a reference to Kojima's name being wiped off of everything by Konami, which was presaged in Ground Zeroes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuCzWJ-_SK4). And, you know, if you've read 1984, a big part of that book is about the government controlling information and erasing people from history. The Kojima-Konami spat references that. And that last video I talked about above being disappointing also references that vaguely. This could all be nothing, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.
