Tho the really bad AI made the entire game horrible to play, the crap story on top of it and badly written ending just made it worse
I can see your gripe against AI (though, if you turn up the difficulty level it is a bit better). The story was far from horrible, I mean it was practically a movie that became a videogame first, you are entitled to your opinion though.
How can you say the ending was bad? Even if you didn't like the story you can still say that the ending was rational enough.
Did you not like playing as a teenage girl? Or what?
If it was a film chances are ppl would have looked at it differently
Some will say joel was completely selfish, lost his original daughter and thought ellie could fill the hole so hes ****** all the survivors left over and making all them sacrifices for nothing so i played the game not to save humanity or whats left of it
The true ending what normally everyone would predict is that they take ellie to the end and she makes the choice to sacrifice herself for the greater good and joel has to live with it or ends up dying to protect ellie so humanity as a whole can be saved - think of Children of Men where the man has to help transport a women and in the end he dies she lives and we dont know what happened after, we assume they found a cure and humanity can reproduce
But the scientists in TLOU are bumbling retards so its make the player think what would be the point in ellie getting chopped up if they are useless and cannot make a vaccine anyways so balls to it il kill em all take her for myself and **** off
Either way joel got emotinal and attached to the package and let his feelings get in the way a bit like transporter 1 except saving chinese ppl he possibly ****** over the survivors
I just didnt like the ending, i suppose it was a **** you and im a survivor bs and il do what i can to survive but it makes him no different to the ppl he killed
You do know, that one of the voice recorders that one of the Scientists left, said that their had been others like her, people that were immune. That all of those experiments were a fail. Though the scientist says this in a weird 'does not want to acknowledge' kind of voice, saying that this is another shot. Or something like that.
Either way it means two things:
The Title "
The Last of Us" is referring not to all humans, just immune people. Might just be a coincidence, though.
Or more likely
They had chopped up and killed other immune people and gotten nowhere, if they killed Ellie would it have really helped? Joel probably didn't explain this to her because he didn't want her to think that their was a slim hope of her death actually finding a cure, still a lie though a bit more reasonable. Also, he could truly believe their is no way to find a cure and only makes tells the lie that the Fireflies had stopped looking for a cure.
Personally I rather have that over the expected; Joel dies fighting a thousand zombies just attack the Fireflies' HQ at that point in time for no reason. He tells her to save humanity while he is dying and she does... Not a bad ending just in my opinion the one the dev's decided to go with was A LOT better. Plus,
it leaves the series open for a sequel :D
