I agree 100%. The games I have the most fun in are the ones with engaging stories. Granted, some games don't need stories (such as puzzle or racing games).
The best advice, as much as I get flamed for it, it to check as many reviews as you can before putting time into a game. Use word of mouth also. Reviewers will tell you if the story sucks. There are still tons of games out there with excellent stories. Just gotta sift through the shit.
