I liked it.. and I do wonder if not playing the games makes it easier to like because I had no expectations.

The rampage violence IMO was done that way so you aren't cheering for Joel to survive and worried about him during it. Its just him mowing people down - including people who've dropped their weapons or didn't have weapons. If it was some kind of tense battle - you'd reflexively be on his side.
