Games don't need stories.

I guess I'd like to see more story in games if 99.999% of them didn't suck ass. Games just need to tell the story through the world instead of craptacular cutscenes with horrible lines.

Until they get people who can write beyond the 3rd grade level, the less story in games the better. There's notable exceptions, but the fact that a passingly decent story is "notable" speaks about the unending mountain of shit that is video game "story"

It always bothers me to see people abusing the number 9.  Do you really think there are ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND (minus one) bad stories in video games for every one good story? 

Alright fine then Nitpicky Nancy let's just say the overwhelming majority of video game story and writing is utter shit. Worse than b-movie bad. And 100,000 to 1 sounds about like the right ratio of high school drop-out writing to moderately passable writing.
