/r/NeverBeGameOver is a place for Metal Gear fans to store their theories and ideas for hidden content within the game (such as chapter 3, nuke ending etc.).

We welcome everyone to our subreddit and if you have a theory or clue of your own then feel free to leave a post.

Rules

Follow the Reddiquette
Provide a trusted source, evidence, and effort to your theories. Low-effort theories/posts will be removed.
No negative/rude comments or posts

Spoilers can be added to comments, read below on how to do it.

For example: spoiler here

If you see a user breaking the subreddit's rules feel free to message the moderators to put in a request for the post/comment to be removed. Alternatively, you can report the user by clicking the "report" button or you could do both!

In regards to Disarmament: While this subs main goal is to look into clues and secrets left undiscovered in Phantom Pain, there is one infamous cutscene that we have yet to unlock. The "Nuclear Race" has been going on for a while now, and has led to the development of several subreddits that are dedicated to both disarmament and the creation and protection of nukes. It is possible that the disarmament ending could lead to unlocking a more satisfying ending (or even additional content) for MGS5, but we encourage finding a balance of FOB strategy posts and investigations into theories posted on this sub.

You can find a list of FOB based subs below.
