I think Fien's on the money when he/she says it all boils down to whether you're the type of gamer who 'enjoys lonely first-person exploration, mechanical/logic non-inventory puzzles, and reading books and documents'.

No doubt Fien is right. Its like calling the "Mona Lisa" a masterpiece, while many who don't like art call it shit. Does it make it any less of a masterpiece? You may not like Lonely Adventure games, but it still doesn't make it any less of excellence.
Myst isn't my cup of tea really. It takes too long to tell a story. I'm just arguing the fact that it is a masterpiece. It does what it is suppose to do REALLY well. Its common sense that masterpieces WILL be misunderstood because people usually never see things for there details and content. Yet, i'm mocked for this!
