Really? I mean, that's your call, but man, I'd have given up games a long time ago if that was the case. Story over gameplay? In video games? Holy shit, dude.
Well if course gameplay isn't irrelevant. I was just saying I don't like gameplay focused games. I can't get I to stuff like platformers that are pretty much all gameplay and no story beyond a light save the world/princess fluff.
Similarly, if I'm playing a game like skyrim I don't waste time exploring the world. I do the guild quests and other side story quests, the main story quests and any story DLC quests and use fast travel every chance I get. I like the questing, check loot and scale of the world still, the the gameplay matters--though I hate the combat and play on easy. But it's the stories that keep me going.
But yeah, gaming is something I've teetered on giving up for a few years now as I do enjoy movies, tv and books more the older, busier and more stressed out I get as they're easier to relax and veg out with than something interactive like games. I've been able to keep going by focusing more on narrative driven games, avoiding hard games etc.
I won't play a game with gameplay I hate of course. But I also mostly don't play gameplay focused games with littler or no story. With my limited time/interest in games then really have to have at least a good, if not great, story and gameplay I find fun.
