Big Boss Betrays The Player – Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid is a series many hold near and dear, so when it came time for the finale many had been waiting years for, series creator Hideo Kojima did not disappoint.

He goes on to be the villain that Solid Snake eventually kills, which turns the entire game on its head.
