And Snake should've just shot himself at the graveyard, instead of the Harry Potter ending with Dumbledore/Big Boss coming back from the dead and having to explain about how it was all planned from the beginning and how Ocelot pulled a Snape. It smurfing sucked. Would it have been that hard to just cut all the irrelevant stuff and just get straight to the point during the game? Why does Kojima suck so hard at telling a story?
Well, he wasn't just a comic relief character (SPOILER)he's someone who's been in every game and finally got his chance to be a co-star. Weddings are a beautiful part of life, and it was a nice setting to end it with, considering so much of this game was about the high and low points of life - getting old, have it get in the way of your goals (can't crouch-walk for too long!) and watching that person age and not be able to do the things they used to.

Also, about Dumbledore exlains it all - (SPOILER)good metaphor, but I was glad to see it happen, to finally have a real interaction with Big Boss as old Big Boss from legends of yore (Wtf does that make sense!?). Yes, it was drawn out, and after a while it seems like he's just repeating the same nonsensical 10-to-1-to-0-zero becomes one!!! one becomes one hundred!!!) still it was a chance for David to make peace with his father, again, another beautiful part of life. So many games are these ridiculous adolescent power fantasies, THIS GAME IS ABOUT REAL , YO!!!
