^100% True.
Although MGS is still fun. In certain ways. Boss fights are always "teh epicness"

 

Certainly MGS is fun. But it was the first game to prove that a game doesn't necessarily have to be such, it can rely on the strength of it's narrative, it's message to sell well as well. Braid took this and ran with it, and The Path which many reviewers have been calling non-fun yet slapping good scores upon it is really capitalizing upon that idea now.

Fun is a very important factor.

No offense and I know what you're trying to say. But In order for you to appreciate games, movies or etc. you should have fun first. In order for you to get deep into a game, To understand the story more, unlock what everything in the game you should have fun first. Because you won't do it if you are not having fun. You will just get bored. If the game is boring for you. No matter how great it is, you won't appreciate it. Game should be fun and enjoyable first.

Fun is the most important element on a game.

That's why we are playing video games in order for us to have fun.

EDIT: Sorry for the poor english, if there's a wrong grammar. Correct me please I would appreciate it.

 

While you make a point, I disagree to an extent. I play games for meaning, for mind expanding experiences not just to have fun. That said having fun creates an even better experience, but it isn't the focal point of my gaming habits.
