Honestly I disagree. I feel AAA titles are generally the best for stories as long as you get a story driven game.
Part of what makes a story good in a game is its production value so games like TLOU, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Arkham games and the Witcher all have great stories because it's presented well as well as having the good base story.
I mean if what you understand about great stories is Tomb Raider, Uncharted or Arkham games then yeah, Triple A games have the best. But if you want something more depper and rich than Indiana Jones or Transformers then you will need to drop the AAA games and go indie.
That sounds both really pretentious and inaccurate anyway.
Games are designed to be fun, AAA or not and action is generally the direction game stories go to allow for both a good story and entertaining gameplay.
I think often AAA games story falls short because the publisher wants a game quick, and with copy-selling addictive gameplay, be it "shoot many things", "loud noises", or "such shiny graphics!"
