So, how exactly was he "The Man Who Sold The World"?
>>330593915
Because that's the title of the song.
Kojima is a big Bowie fan
>>330593915
he isnt, big boss is.
>>330593915
He sold his own world for revenge
Cuz he fulton'd the world and sold it for GMP
>>330593915
WHO KNOWS
Big Boss sold Venom Snake who meant the world to him (operation intrude).
>>330593915
The tape was fromthe real Big Boss, who has the moniker "The Man who sold the World"
Because Kojima likes Bowie and probably because Big Boss wanted to create a world of endless conflict and strife so that he could get rich off of PMC bux
David Bowie wrote the song questioning his own identity
>>330594204
NOT ME
The Man (Kojima) Who Sold The (MGS) World
If you knew in advance the song was about meeting your doppelganger then the twist was spoiled immediately
>yfw kojima killed bowie
>>330594341
WE NEVER LOST CONTROL
>>330593915
Its major zero
He "sold" us a shitty game, we bougt it.
In a reality you're probably looking too much into it op.
A lot of people have tried coming up with theories about how the song is about schizophrenia and Venom and Boss dualito etc etc but i dunno

>>330594264
>>330594264
this
kojima spoiled the plot so far in advance it couldn't possibly have been a surprise to anyone
>>330594183
why didn't kojima make a globe item that you could fulton for gmp
>>330594938
The surprise was who we were playing the whole time because it was obvious we weren't Big Boss.
I think I missed this whole entire part or something. I did the mission with Quiet and the tanks and I have not seen any of this giant twist shit at all.
>>330595065
You have to beat the very last mission is think, which is the replay of the first mission at the hospital
>>330595042
The Gray Fox speculation threads were such a blast last year. I may never have that much fun speculating on vidya again.
>>330595291
As stupid as Venom Snake is, I'm glad he's not anything as stupid as Gray Fox or Solidus.
>>330595226
Do I have to do all the replays or just a particular one? I thought all those were just extra challenge missions or whatever.
>>330594084
which came as some surprise
>>330594503
But its about a man who finds out he has a doppelganger but then comes to terms with the fact there was no doppelganger and that he had schizophrenia all along.
>>330593915
He sold his lie to the world.
Its such a shitty twist that had little to no bearing on the plot of the game
Good twists make you look at past events in a different light
>>330595753
Thus the theory that Big Boss hallucinated that Venom was another person.
>>330593915
I can't believe no-one got it right yet, jeez.
It doesn't refer to the literal world. If you listen to the song, he means he gave up everything in his life. He gave up his whole world.
That's what Big Boss did. He left his old life with Venom taking his place so he could work on his Outer Heaven.
>>330594802
I think I like this theory the best, Kojima you HACK!
>>330593915
The game starts the events that lead into The War Ecnomy
did you even play any of the other games?
He sold the world to war.
>>330593915
BB sold the lie to the world that there was just one boss, one snake
>>330596391
Well, the hospital scene in in 1984 (famous for doubletalk), the timeline of that night doesn't make perfect sense. It's entirely possible that Kojima rused us all with a double twist.
>Kojima half reads 1984
>Kojima half watches a documentary on the Soviet-Afghan war
>Kojima reads a couple of articles about wars in Africa during the 80s
>puts all these threads in a blender
>serves it to us
Did anyone else get PTSD from all the indestructible fences in Angola?
>>330595753
That's just your interpretation
>>330596959
A double twist wouldn't really make any sense. You could probably contrive your way into an explanation, but it'd be a very hollow and pointless one.
>>330593915
But that implies you own the world, and then who's rich enough to buy the world? Ayyy?
Big Boss is directly responsible for the War Economy
>>330596935
This anon is the only one to get it right. The "sold" in the title doesn't refer to selling for money. It refers to convincing someone.
>>330593915
