It just sounded like you were saying it wasn't correct for people to say that they liked the game for the story. "It's not the story they like, it's the graphics, the voice acting, the experience." That's what I was getting from your post. And in response I just wanted to say that while yes, the experiential factors are important, the story is still the draw. Saying "I like it for the story" does not improperly lump in extraneous factors.

You don't have to say "I like it for the experience." You can still say "I like it for the story," in spite of the fact that the story is bolstered by its supporting features. People might not like a steak if it was raw and unseasoned, but that doesn't mean that what they REALLY want to eat is hot seasoning.
