Metal Gear Solid V’s True Ending
Secret Video Game Endings You (Probably) Never Unlocked
Over 100 hours. To get the real ending of Metal Gear Solid V, players have to play over 100 hours, unlocking two-hour endings while also taking on several missions multiple times at increased difficulties and with more restrictive conditions for completion. In this regard, players can’t be blamed for opting to look the ending up online instead.
To be fair though, all of the extra work isn’t for nothing as doing so provides some much needed resolution to several characters’ story arcs and ties up many of the series’ loose ends in a way befitting of Hideo Kojima’s directorial style. It also provides a bit of meta-commentary on the player’s role in the story, allowing the players to leave with a sense of truly being their own version of the Big Boss.
