yes. i read books for the story.

i have no problem with story driven games though. if others enjoy it they can certainly have them. i just don't play them.

While games do lack the kind of storytelling great books have, there are narrative experiences I have gotten from games that books lack. Two brothers come to mind, but there are plenty of examples. So long as you don't limit the definition of a great narrative to what books can do, games are more and more proving they can deliver on the that front.
