"All gamers love stories and never skip a thing. See, I can post stuff like that and not back it up too, but hey, I'll humour you. If people don't like story in Metroid they can skip it, everyone is happy that way."
I wrote "many", not "all". But I should back that up. I get plenty of anecdotes around here and elsewhere about people or their friends (who don't post stuff online) doing this. Not claiming that's scientific of course, just that is shows a lot don't care about the stories in all games.
"I suppose you think if Transformers 3 or whatever movie was a silent movie or used rubber models instead of CGI like in the old days it would be acceptable right?"
Movies are not games. You play a game. You sit and watch a movie.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
