You're comparing the loose ends and speculations of Last of Us to ME3? Really?
lol

Not really. Joel dooms humanity because he is too selfish to lose another daughter, then he lies to that daughters face because he knows she would have sacrificed herself. Then they proceed to live in a hovel for the rest of their lives.
I mean I liked it, but it wasn't really a feel good ending.

I find it weird how the Last of us has an ending that is arguably worse than ME3's and yet people herald it as the best game of this generation.
Guess Bioware fans are just weird.
Or the fact that those are two separate games
So what? Principle is the same. Tons of emotional investment, then a sudden and unfullfilling ending.

He chooses to save Ellie despite the random off-chance she could cure people if he lets them hack up her head. The man has lost everyone, including Tara and only has Ellie left. Yes it was selfish, yet it was understandable and I would have done the same.

Mother of God, did you even play the game? Because it seems like you just looked up a synopsis or something and pretend to know what you're talking about.

She couldn't cure anyone, she could just share her immunity. It is made clear that she could have produced a vaccine. I never said it wasn't understandable, it was a very human thing to do.
Sacrifice others for your own well being.

What are you talking about? We are totally left to wonder what the hell is going to happen after Ellie Says: Okay.
Plenty of speculation for their and humanities future for everyone.

No, not everyone is a selfless person willing to let someone they love die for the 'greater good'. I wouldn't. Joel wouldn't either. And humanity proved they are just as savage and dangerous as the Infected so why sacrifice the last person you love for them? I wouldn't.

What happens is a sequel more than likely.
Or Ellie and Joel keep on keeping on like they have been until they both die.
Tah dah.

Hey, if it gets more people to play true, emotional, exceptional survival horror games like it, then I'm cool with its ending being misguidedly dragged through the mud.

I never said it was lousy. Just emotionally unfullfilling, which it is.
Joel comes out of it pretty happy. But everything Ellie went through was for nothing, she'll probalby even grow to resent Joel as she clearly knows he's lying.
Also, you know, the eminent extinction of hummanity is kind of sad.

Well, by associating its unfulfilling and loose-ended nature with that of ME3's ending among some people who felt those were negative traits, you're kinda doing so---even though you expressed that you liked it to some degree.
