This is in interesting topic. I’m actually on the other side of things. A great story or cast of characters are, for me, sort of meaningless without a fun gameplay experience underpinning them.

As someone born in 1983 who cut his teeth on arcade-style games with only the shallowest semblance of story, I actually feel a little alienated by some of the modern games that prioritize storytelling and emotion above all else.

That said, I completely appreciate the folks who think otherwise. There are more than enough games in the industry to satisfy both sides :)
