About the "Taboo" thing Kojima mentioned awhile back, is in MGS V if you have not noticed

I never liked Big Boss that much. I mean, he was nice in MGS3, but I never understood why people liked him so much. Guess I'm probably one of the few people that remembers that he fought Solid Snake when he was unnarmed, and was still defeated thanks to a cigar and some combustible.
