I didn't like it either. It was a selfish ending for Joel and a sad one for Ellie imho. |
Which, to me, perfectly fit the tone of the story. I understand how this world made Joel who he was and why he thought so little of humanity and so much of Ellie (baby girl). He is not a hero, he is just a flawed and scarred man. If he had suddenly said "the greater good" it would have been completely in contrast to his past and his world view. I respect Naughty Dog for making such a deeply troubled character feel so rich and real that even when I disagreed, I understood.
