Story is important for adventure type games, unfortunately a good story is hardly ever seen. I mean, gamers are lauding MGS4 and GTA4 for their stories; that are infantile and over-the-top at best. We need some real writers to work in gaming.
Cut-scenes, OK, if they are fairly short and not too frequent. What I really hate tho is if a game starts with a long cutscene, especially if you can't skip it on a second playthrough. When I start a game, I want to start playing, not watch some prerendered bs for 5 minutes!
