8 Video Game Endings That Had More Questions Than Answers
7. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
The Metal Gear series has been weird and convoluted since its inception in 1987, throwing you at the heart of a cinematic stealth game that depicts a special forces operative tasked with saving the world from nuclear destruction at the hands of a Metal Gear weapon. The timeline is anything but linear, and littered with men who can control bees with mind power and bombs that turn into whales and flaming horses - was there really any doubt you'd be confused as f*ck by the end of this series, honestly?
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the final entry in the franchise (because no one counts MG Survive), supposedly wrapping everything up neatly by positing itself as a prequel, and making the protagonist the original enemy of the first game - but only as he went through extensive plastic surgery to look like someone else.
It's a mess, and considering it's supposed to have brought everything full circle - there's still a whole lot left hanging due to cut footage and what's assumed to be a rushed ending.
