Do you prefer when a video game has a story?

No, I don't like stories ruining games.

No game has ever needed a story just as no film needs a game (except Tron obviously).

Would Buckaroo have been a better game if the horse had a name and a history? What about the patient in the game of Operation?

I asked a five year old, why does Bowser kidnap the Princess? The response was that if he didn't we wouldn't have a Mario game to play.

Excessive story is a cheap gimmick to try and keep people 'playing' the game instead of using replayability like a real game does.

The truth about videogames, the great ones at least, is that they could have all the story removed, the graphics and music could be reduced to 8 or 16 bit quality, and they would still be the greatest games of all time.

I didnt know I wasnt playing real game all this time. I also didnt know the sun revolve around Pyro as Bill.

That's ok, Sony tricked lots of people into thinking they were playing games. Sony and their allies are very devious, they even tricked Nintendo into making the gamecube. Even now they continue to try and trick people with 'games' such as Heavy Rain, with new added motion controls to really immerse you into the lies and deception.

Look you can waggle the Wiimote dualsixmoveaxisshocknav controller to........... knock on a door. They try and pass this off as gameplay and the story-lovers that lap this shit up and call it revolutionary are the same ones who crap on real games like Pong, Combat, Duck Hunt, Virtual Pool aka Wii Play.
