I doubt anyone was expecting what we ended up getting with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain’s plot.

The Snake Soup presents Metal Gear Solid V: Parasitic Legacy, a video-editorial that points out that while it certainly was not done in the way fans expected, The Phantom Pain still got to show us Big Boss becoming a villain.
