That's a part in how highly rated video games are made these days. On some level or another, the vast majority of games that are considered to be "good" and have have a storyline... have cutscenes too.

I stated that both of these games have cutscenes, it doesn't kill my point.

My point was that there are other ways to tell a story without cutscenes, not that they don't have it, but the stuff they do outside of the cutscene is a lot more interesting and better helps develop the characters and the world than their actual cutscenes.
There's a way to tell a story without cutscenes, yes.. but cutscenes add to the effect and get people more immersed in the game. Thus why pretty much all the highly rated games that have a half decent story have some cutscenes.

I don't care about story in games.
Give me a weapon or a goal and point me in the right direction.
I'm good to go for like the next 10-20 hours.
I like both games with stories, and pick up and play games. I just get more immersed in games with a story personally.
