This is Platinum Games, and as a fan of both theirs and the original Metal Gear games, I knew what to expect considering who the main development staff was. Completely coherent stories without loopholes is not their forte, over the top badassery is, along with that odd sense of humor. Higher than average difficulty sometimes bordering insane is too (2 GRADs on Very Hard mode, yikes).

So really, you only have yourself to blame for expecting it to be something that it clearly was not designed to be (which should have been obvious considering all the videos and such).

Technically, Platinum Games only did the gameplay and the build. The actual story was made by Kojima Productions, so the blame would have to be placed there.
