@kemuri07: Best post in this entire thread. People want their power fantasies and fan service, and this seems like it'll be anything but. Instead of just making the player feel "cool" and "badass" for doing a bunch of horrible shit it seems like they're actually going to make something that leaves players uncomfortable. Why shouldn't there be room for that in this supposed art form?
Justified or not, Joel ended up as an anti-hero (and that's putting it mildly) and following that up with a predictable "way to go, kill them all and win again!" second game would've been the most boring thing ever. They might fail but at least they tried. That's more than you can say about the vast majority of video game stories out there.
