I don't know why you're sorry for stating the truth.
It actually succeeded in making me cry. I would still say MGS3's ending is a little better, but it's really close.
I think it has something to do with Big Boss being one of the greatest characters ever. In a way I kind of think the MGS series is more his story than Solid Snake's.
