Games with a straight story don't fare well, good games these days offer you a good amount of customization; character creation (I know it's not an mmo, but any good solo rpg has a character creator now, specially Western ones), a huge amount of challenges to do in the world that build the game's lore and exploration systems.
So miss me with the graphics, I'm all about how rich or dull the world around the story is.
Uh, I want a linear/straight story in my Final Fantasy games, even more so for a single-player game.
