Oh but I can. To me, the single most enjoyable thing about a game is a good story (can be funny, or serious, or something else, long as it is good). It could have amazing controls and feel completely pointless without a story (like NSMBU and Tropical Freeze). It is pure laziness and nothing else. 

The review system is based on what I personally want in games, not anyone else specifically. There have been plenty of people in the past that have agreed with my reviews and plenty more that don't get my style, it is fine.

But you do have to realize that a reviewer giving a classical symphony 6/10 because he wants good lyrics in his music WILL become the laughing stock of the industry.

 

Also, this is my own opinion, so do not feel the need to be influenced by it, but art should not, and generally isn't reviewed for what it lacks, but simply as an open-ended cumulation of what it does well.

Yes, but all types of art requires something. Music requires audible noises, paintings require visuals, poetry requires lines written well. In my opinion, the art of video games requires a decent story to be properly and fully enjoyed.
