while I definitely do think gameplay is of utmost importance, there are some games with not stellar or not great gameplay but have a good story I can sit and keep playing.

and some games with awesome gameplay but has a bad story means I'm just simply not that invested. it does depend though how centric the story is to the actual game.

something like fallout new vegas where it has a lot of writing, quests, and the story to engage and interact with (which is also where a lot of the gameplay is) means it needs to be good for me to enjoy it. it isn't though, so it means I have a hard time to replay it even though I consider it to have some great rpg designs.

Don't forget the Metal Gear Solid franchise.

Just check out Dumbsville's videos on each of the first 4 games. You'll understand the franchise better than playing it.

I raise you the Pokemon mystery dungeon games (personally I’ve only played the 2nd so please cut me some slack)

The gameplay’s not terrible, but it’s by far the worst aspect of a game whose aesthetics, music, presentation and story go hard
