Games like Last Guardian are pushing the medium as an art form yet "gamers" are grumpy and mad

Great gameplay is an art as much the visuals, story, and the unique hook of the game.

The reality is very few games fire on all four of these cylinders. TLG appears to hit 3/4 really well. That's really good.

Really only a select few get all four right. We're talking Chrono Trigger, OoT type territory there. TLG is great, but doesn't cross over there just yet.
