Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain, Kojima And Trust

I started playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain [official site] over the weekend and it has made me very aware of how much I'm being asked to trust that the director, Hideo Kojima is going somewhere with all this.

If you want to duck out for fear of spoilers do so now, although know that I've only played the prologue and half the first mission so I won't have seen even a fraction of the game.
