@chenguo: Great, amazing games can be great and amazing without a passive story.
Game with great gameplay and shitty story shouldn't deserve as high review score as a game with similar gameplay and no story.

@Staude: Why story doesn't conflict with a game? It's just a feature that takes the game away from its core.

 

Well, by that argument, a game wiht shitty music is worse than a game with no sound.

Look, I understand there are games that dont need story - Tetris, Minesweeper, etc. But in regards to action/adventure games that Nintendo seems to specialize in, where a certain quest is involved, I'd like more than a nominal explanation of why I'm going on this quest.

And I also disagree that a story takes games away from their cores... A good story should be a part of the game's core, no matter the genre. Well, once again, except like Tetris.

Erh... this is true...

if you're able to bear with an horrible music during hours, good for you. But 99% of the population won't have your patience, and will simply turn off the speakers.

The same can be said about stories.
