You stupid Nintendo nerd, go back and play Mario for the 4,583,585th time.....JK

OT: It's a very solid game, though I do agree that it is slightly overrated with reviewers and it's by no means a masterpiece. I would still say it's in the top 2% of games last gen. Heck it could even keep my non-gamer friend interested and the PS4 was his first console.. Apart from a game here or there on PC.

*Response to all three linked comments*

I liked the ending tbh. It was very human and in line with the atmosphere of the rest of the game. It's not like they were gonna drive off into the sunset after an ordeal like that. This isn't a happy story and I think that any sort of extended ending after what was shown (happy or not) would have been superficial. Joel fucked over the world for himself because he could not stand to lose another daughter figure. Ellie has survivor's guilt and accepts that Joel lied because she does not want to give up his company either. Any more canon would have subtracted from the impact.

What did you guys dislike about the ending?

I never thought of playing Skyrim, but after hearing so many great reviews and accolades it received, I decided to give it a try, but i never finished the game and i thought it was boring.
the problem is if you play it after reading so many praises you subconsciously hype it to a perfect game. But like me and the other vast majority of people including Reviewers who played it before awarding GOTG, its a master piece.

Tomb raider took Uncharted gameplay and made it better, but with the Last of Us ND showed again how survival game should be done.

That it made the "Ellie or the world" choice for me, and made me act out choosing the former though I would have chosen the latter.

I entered this thread expecting the comments to be a very specific way.

I wasn't proven wrong.

Most dads in the world would see things the way Joel did. Maybe you just couldn't put yourself in Joel's place because you haven't experienced what being a dad is. That being said, I know a lot of people with empathy mature enough to understand without being a father themselve.

I got tired of Skyrim but I could still see it was a great game.

The game didn't make me like Ellie enough to choose her over the world. Don't get me wrong, she was a good character, but not worth throwing the entire human race out the window. Taking the choice away from the player and making me act out a cause I didn't believe in placed story over gameplay, which is always a bad thing in my opinion.

The game was never about you making choices the entire time and you expected that to change at that moment?

Ok...

It wasn't 100% sure that they would find a cure. They had 13(?) other people that were immune before Ellie. Nothing came from them. Also are people worth saving?
