A story is how I get into the game. Without the idea of what's going on, I have a hard time fully imersing myself into the world. Even games were you play a character with a name (which is most of them), just telling/showing me about the history of the world makes me more likely to want to play the game. It's the reason I don't really like Half-Life as much as other people. It focuses on the game play over telling a story, opting out for story that just happens (which Kingdom Hearts did a better job at doing).
