Gotta be honest here, I genuinely hoped the body double theory wasn't right. I assumed that Kojima wouldn't go down that route. Here's my opinion on it: The "surprise" twist, ruined this game for me a little bit. It seems like Kojima backed himself into a corner, so his only option was "oh by the way Big Boss isn't really Big Boss therefore everything makes sense."

Just seems like a bad fanfiction ending to me. I'm sure some will disagree and think it makes more sense, some might even feel justified after I and some other bashed their theories. Including some either lucky or smart fans who predicted the actual body double (bravo on that). But I just feel a little cheated, and IDK why.

But meh up until that point, even though the theory was pretty much confirmed in the hospital scene, I generally enjoyed the story, gameplay was absolutely brilliant. But honest to god, IDK if I'll be able to play it again without feeling let down.
