Agreed.

I feel this will be relevant, eventually. Trust me on this:

I might.

@mooseymcman:

Wait, are you talking about the Bible or The Handmaid's Tale?

The Bible also does that, among other things.

More on topic, I'll throw Dan Brown into the discussion.

How does it not make any sense? The game had, until that point, established a morally ambiguous world wherein people were more or less trying to live their lives. In addition, Joel was a thoroughly ordinary person in this world; there was nothing to set him apart. The ending abandons both of these premises in favor of a morally clear cut world. We're now supposed to side with Joel's reckless heroics and his "screw your rules, I'm doing what's right" mindset. In that sense, it completely goes against previously established moods. (I'd also mention a major plot problem, but theme is more my issue.)

Also, I might point out the irony of implicitly calling me an idiot ("wasted on gamers") while your own arguments are literally nothing more than calling my position "dumb."

@hh:

You really wish to do this, don't you? You're assuming I'm some sort of idiot without any legitimate reasons for disliking the ending, right?

Whose taste?

We're gonna have to wait for the full story, but essentially, it completely goes against previously established moods for no good reason.
