still doesn't mean they should have it.

The game presented a story to them, should they just ignore it because it's bad?

What story? O_o it doesn't have one! , the minute you start the game this guy with a hat talks about the carnival and how much fun you are going to get by selecting gameplay modes in the menu and try to explain each gameplay type , thats not story!

Story isn't just something being explicitly told to you by an NPC, it's also the general atmosphere and context under which you play the game.  The fact that they made up a carnival for the gameplay setting means that there is a story even if it isn't specifically told to you by the guy with a hat.  If you don't think that is a story then you would have to not count Flower as having a story either, which would be an unfortunate oversimplification of what a story means.

Story =/= Metaphor , Flower had a message delivered with atmosphere and visuals , not a storyline with acting , Script , text and voice acting

but enough of this , your way of defining what a story is , is different than mine , i do agree with you to some point , but Metaphoric story telling doesn't count as a storyline to me.
