Not necessarily and not for everyone. The Walkind Dead (vita) is a perfect example for me. It suffers from frame rate drops to the point that the game pretty much freezes and you get no time to stop the zombie from attacking you. Then you have to dodge something and it doesn't explain well what button you're supposed to press/what you're supposed to do to save yourself (touch screen controls that involve dragging and holding were also confusing). There were countless times that I wanted to throw my vita out of the window. So, part of the gameplay was asbolutely terrible. But the story was so good that I refused to quit. After I managed to beat it, I couldn't wait to play the next Season. The story was so good that it carried the game. And sure, that was only part of the gameplay and the rest of it was not too bad, but it definitely wasn't the reason I liked it.
