Has it ever been good across the industry? I'm not a big gamer but have been playing lots of retro games lately, including old text adventures, and most of it reads like really terrible fan fiction. Back when CD drives were still new tech, there were many experimental attempts at creating interactive games that were more story telling of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" type than video games with a unifying plot. Not that most of those stories were great but it did seem like for them it was story first, perhaps because the tech was still primitive enough that the story had to make up for it.
