I enjoyed the MP for the little bit that I played. But the single player wasn't what I was looking for, especially for a game that was hyped up to be the best of all time. But the graphics, atmosphere, and scenery were some of the best I've seen. I did enjoy going over some random hill to see the skyline of a destroyed city or an abandoned village. That was the one aspect of the game I liked. Too bad I couldn't get into it due to the gameplay.

In a world like that, it would be damn near impossible for anyone to find a truly happy ending that would satisfy all audiences. That was kind of the point though. That bittersweet taste is in itself a unique flavor, just different enough from any other story that it's worth being a part of. It showed what was important, I think.

It wasn't whether it was a happy ending or a sad ending in the traditional sense of story telling.
In the last of us, its really about the relationship between Joel and Ellie. The infected, the fireflies, and the world they live in aren't the primary focus, they are things that help move the plot forward.
My dissatisfaction is that ending was ambiguous. You don't know if Ellie accepted Joel's statement as fact or whether she knows he was lying and still went along with it.
Their relationship evolved where they became truthful to each other. Joel opening up about his daughter and Ellie revealing the story about Riley. So when Joel lied in the end it felt like he was a different character because it went against how he progressed as a character.
