I hate it because Joel lies to Ellie for in my opinion is a very selfish reason. Come on man she might be the key to stop the infection that might end up wiping out the human race. But Naughty dog did a very good job connecting you with them and I almost understand why he did it, I almost feel his pain and connection with this girl. I honestly don't know what I would have done if I was Joel...Without rambling to much I love the ending. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson better win some awards. And how about Nolan North, what a great job with the voice work all around. |
I think what tears me so much about the ending I can sum up in two sentences...
'What Joel did was wrong and selfish'
'Joel did everything I wanted him too, and what I would have done if I was him'
In a case of thinking with your heart instead of your brain I guess, I didnt want Ellie to die to save humanity (and really after everything you seen it could be debated if it was worth saving?). I had grown emotionally attached to Ellie, and like Joel I wanted to protect her and make sure no harm came to her :)
