The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from, chronologically, the Metal Gear franchise, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Developed and published by Konami, Hideo Kojima puts a close to Solid Snake‘s story with this entry.
The quote comes during the ending cutscene as Solid Snake visits The Boss‘ grave. He is then visited by his mentor, Big Boss, who he thought was dead. Big Boss comments on how he, along with his friends, despite their best intentions, have caused all of the conflicts during the majority of the series. Speaking to The Boss’ grave, a remorseful Big Boss (voiced here by Richard Doyle) delivers the quote.
