The best story ever told in a mainstream videogame, including all RPGs in the Codex 101 list, amounts to little more than a light novel aimed at teens.
I don't know how people quantify "the best story evah" but there are plenty of good stories in all sorts of mediums: film, tv shows, books, video games, paintings, etc. There's this weird obsession with the notion that a video game can't have a good story, which is retarded.
All that to say, obviously gameplay is far more important in a game, but it's pants-on-head retarded to claim that somehow it's impossible for video games (or any other medium, for that matter) to have a good story.
