Are video games better without stories? (Gaming)

Halo (the linear, scripted narrative works with the game's levels, art design, music, animation, and AI to create a unified context for the core gameplay, adding motive and resonance to basic beats like shooting an Elite or landing on Halo)

That last parenthetical encapsulates my hopes for Destiny 2.
