Another point to ponder, Online gaming, a very prominent and used way to play newer games anymore, and the most popular ones involve one pointing at another and firing, yet people do it for endless hours, because its great fun and the mode of game play is interesting. I guess all those people missed the part when a game doesn't have a story it no longer can be consider a game.
That's one of the main reasons why I DON'T play online games, because they have no story. Without one, it's just kinda boring.
