Not really. You'd say the story wasn't that bad if you've literally never played a game with a story. It does matter because I can then care about what I'm doing in the game and that I'm having an effect on the game world. Games are meant to be fun and entertaining as you say, yet how can I have fun if I don't have any knowledge of any characters in the game? We deserve to feel burned out. Why? Because we love a game to the point we've done almost everything and keep coming back? Even though there's no story? You're right. This game will turn you into a zombie.
