Many experts dubbed "Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain" as the greatest stealth action video game ever created. Hideo Kojima, the creator of this epic series, has been working on several concepts for the game since 1987. He somewhat found the right combinations of design, massive open world scale, complex gameplay, well thought of buddy system and stunning visuals.

While still soaking in the rave reviews, Konami has issued a warning on save corruption. According to their official website, the bug can be encountered while having "Quiet" as a buddy in Missions 29 and 42. The only resolution they have provided as this time is to avoid using this character in the said missions.

Bosses are the cornerstone of "Metal Gear Solid" series gameplay, with "Big Boss" as the main protagonist. This character is also known as Vic Boss, Naked Eye or simply Snake. He is the founding father of U.S. Army Special Forces Unit "FOXHOUND" and "Patriots."

"We have no nation, no philosophy, no ideology. We go where we're needed, fighting not for country, not for government, but for ourselves. We need no reason to fight," a famous line of "Big Boss" lifted from the actual game.

GameSpot has captured Big Boss' story before and after the applauded "The Phantom Pain."

"Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain" hit the store shelves on Sept. 1, 2015 under Kojima Productions and published by Konami. The game is playable in PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC.
