Think harder about why this might be.

Also, when you say "Every video game story is bad, to some degree, it's not really why you're there", sure, except when you are because games can be -- and often are -- story-driven. Does Forza Horizon 5 need a coherent story to be fun? No, you're air-dropped into Mexico and you're part of the Horizon Festival and your goal is to beat all the events. Easy peasy.

But how someone could say that Metal Gear Solid, or The Last of Us (or any RPG that people give a crap about) would be anywhere near as good as they are without the story and character development... I think that person is missing what makes modern games so good.
