Big Boss Biography - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Why was MGS1 & 2 skipped?

Big Boss was never truly a villain, he just did what he has always done. Fighting. For him his life was the battlefield, so I guess he did what he loved for a lot of it although he admits he died the min he shot the boss. (Also the whole sending snake to kill his best man in mg1 and hoping snake would die, was a wee bit shady). But on the whole I'd say Solid, Miller and Ocelot have it even worse.

Liquid kind of had a good run, sort of.

Man, I remember when Big Boss died at the end of MGS4, I think it was the only time a video game made me cry.

The Big Boss' story is sad.

I just strated to play the whole series. There is MGS HD Collection for PS3 that contains MGS3, Peace Walker and MGS2, even the very old ones, but without Portable Ops and other small titles. Even thought these games have imperfections, they are great games worth playing. And the story is just amazing!

Great game series!

Okay but what about Venom Snake ?

*SPOILERS*

The medic on the helicopter protected big boss, and before he woke up from the coma, the medic went through plastic surgery and is brainwashed into thinking he is big boss, he is considered to be, "The Phantom of Big Boss", also known as, "Ahab", and the other guy, "Ishmael" is the real big boss. Ahab/Venom/Medic/Phantom is the one Solid kills in MG1 on the MSX The real big boss, Ishmael/Naked/John"Jack" is the guy who shows up at the end of MGS4

A remake of all the other MGS's for current ten would be awesome

I would love to play the first Metal Gear remade for this generation.. And I mean the first one, made for the MSX2, where you play as Solid Snake against Big Boss. That would be a great game if made with current technologies.

This is the way to sum the story up. Well done.

Superb video, Metal Gear is a special series.

There is a ton more games to be made for this series. Koj needs to realize this needs to keep going. There needs to be story about raiden as a child soldier and solidus killing his family. or more about young solidus and president sears solidus. much more needs to be told. also the fisrt games need to be redone in HD. so everyone can realize the what the phantom pain really means

After finding out the truth this story got better. Not what this dude said...

You will find out how awesome this story is. ITS WORTH IT!

This needs a manga, or an ova, or even a movie series.

Sokolov didn't die in Snake Eater and was in San Hieronymo event.
Zanzibar in MG2 was located in Central Asia instead of Tanzania in real life.

This was actually way more helpful than the YouTube videos I found.

Man, that's pretty fu**ed up right there! !!

Seems like big boss was more like liquid and solidus than solid snake like how at end of mgs4 he looks more like solidus

Great vid! Didn't know all of this about Big Boss

GameSpot your video player is SOOOOO terrible!!!

Awesome video, thanks for that! I hate how convoluted this entire story line has gotten. Hopefully someone does a full one some day.

The full story?

That's a big cigarette.

Wow. Big Boss was used as nothing more than a weapon. Even as a great soldier he was being used. At least he gets one last smoke with his son whom destroyed his plans....twice.

It seems odd that no-one ever mentions the story they tell in MGS3 of The Boss giving birth to a child in the middle of a battlefield in WWII. I felt they were implying strongly that Snake was her son.
