Are video games better without stories? (Gaming)

And while my experience with Spec Ops, I didn't feel talked down to, I can totally see how it could come across that way. Though I do feel that may be a factor coming from the inspirations and less so a testament to quality expression through player action. In the way a book or movie makes someone curious to the thoughts of a character, sometimes choices in game design are counter to getting people curious. As the character is treated as something the player fills in or otherwise is simply a tool of gameplay.
