Why do you care about story in games where the story is minor?

human nature requires motivation to take interest in an action.

in video games, story is often times the motivator. you could be playing for points or k/d ration or whatever but most games use story.

I'd say its actually the opposite for most games. Or at least the most successful games. For me, motivation isn't k/d ratio, it's just having fun with the gameplay. When I play a game, I rarely think abot the plot behind it.

So what are these most successful games which don't have points/achievements/story?

Most Nintendo games go gameplay first over story/points. And even many of the most successful HD games are too.
