Do the Telltale games or things like Life is Strange really have much on the gameplay front to defend? I haven't really played much in that genre. But there are plenty of people who would say those games are amazing.
It's hilarious that your position on the merit of a particular form of entertainment is to gatekeep by DOWNPLAYING the value of any actual artistic merit that anyone might consider important... It's like you're being a snob but in entirely the wrong direction.

But, to be clear, my gear grinder was for people specifically not liking a game that is otherwise excellent because they didn't like the story.
If the only thing you care about is a game's story, so much so that it overrides everything else, gaming is a hollow pursuit. You'll be disappointed 99% of the time. Even in your replies to me you've used the same game twice because there just aren't many games that have great stories, and Disco Elysium's is largely good because of the amount of player agency and freedom given (that's the game-y element).
If you're in pursuit of great, thought-provoking stories and it's the number one thing you enjoy or care about, why play a video game?
