Metal Gear Solid V Characters [SPOILERS]

Posted under General

I don't play the game nor any other in the series so I'm not entirely sure, but reading around it seemed that the character you played was in fact Venom Snake and not Big Boss is a huge plot twist. If that is the case, wouldn't naming pictures of MGSV with "Big Boss" as Venom Snake be a potential spoiler?

I'm not entirely sure that something revealed in the first hour-ish of an 80 hour game is a huge plot twist but to each their own.

Really depends on how you play the game no? You could spend hours doing side ops and not progress the story as further as that point. That's why I'm asking here: to get some opinion from people who do play the game, see if it's relevant or not.

I would suggest venom_snake (or punished_snake) for Big Boss with shrapnel, and big_boss for him without shrapnel.

Neither of these tags necessarily reveal that

they are two separate characters, since the player is led to believe, from the start, that the man with shrapnel in his head they are controlling is Big Boss, albeit with a new codename.
