Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Sure a great story in an RPG is appreciated, but I'd rather have a game with a wonderful and engaging gameplay and a "Kill the bad guy because" story as opposed to one with terrible gameplay and an excellent story. In the latter example I'd just go online and read the story rather than struggle through the gameplay, while in the former I'd be having too much fun to care about the bare-bones story.
