I fail to see how adding a "Epic" storyline that is written by committee and is focused on being as generic and commercially acceptable as possible gives a game a "Soul" ... While I'm not going to get into an (another) argument on how poor the storytelling is in many of the games people claim have such great story telling, the vast majority of videogame stories are about as good as a 'Wild Wild West' or 'Van Helsing' in terms of movies and are so poor that few books are published with such poor writing.

Now, if a storyline is essential for you to enjoy the games you play you can find good games with decent stories on all platforms and in most genres.
