Well, Metal Gear 2 has been retconned to oblivion extensively at this point (even Metal Gear Solid 1 retcons stuff about it), so getting mad at MGSV for piling more stuff on is just silly.

And wasn't it only one trailer that made the Big Boss fall stuff apparent... wasn't it the one Kojima didn't direct? There's no point essentially getting mad at PR buzz.

The Star Wars stuff. Yeah, that's... no, dude. I love Star Wars, but no.

It's awesome that your idea of "the truth" in a series full of spies, double agents, twists, counter-twists and the occasional tripe-agents, is that everything every character says is "literally the truth" .. well, that's your fucking fault. It's highly possible that Big Boss thought he was telling the truth, maybe there was more to the events post MGSV and pre MGS1 than we know, maybe Kojima intended to remake MG1&2 next in line, but the circumstances at Konami prevented it and he had to botch together the "Truth" tapes... we'll never know.

But from where I'm sitting all that stuff is fine. MGSV does have some problems in the story department... but the Truth stuff ain't it.
