The Last of Us is a good game…nothing more, nothing less

Just let people complain over a silly ending and learn to swallow their opinions. I for one think a choice in the ending would have been a good idea. Is my point of view incorrect? How can you define that?

It is. Because that's not what the game is about. Joel isn't an avatar of you. You are playing the game through his motives and feelings, not yours. Suddenly giving the player a choice would have clashed with the very focused idea ND had in mind.

I think it's correct. This is a videogame not a book. In a book (unless you are talking about "Choose your own adventure" type of books) you can't decide the outcome of the story. In a videogame you have a whole new level of interactivity, you can choose things and those affect the outcome of the story. I feel it was a missed chance in the game, and it would have made the game a lot better. I don't like when videogames try to be like books and films and limit your options.

But if you say I'm wrong, then I guess I don't understand these kind of videogames. It's a shame.
