Of course you can have a game without a story. There are tons of games that focus solely on gameplay. However, I applaud the trend of adding both RPG and story elements to the other genres. Especially adventure games. Heck if they aren't going to have at least a minor story in an FPS they might as well cut the solo mode out altogether.

Are we better off if the stories suck?  I will agree if a GOOD story, properly told, is there, then things will likely be better.  But if the story is poor, then you have to rely on gameplay, and other reasons to play, to compel you to play.
