Games that use gameplay as an excuse for horrible writing and characters. Looking at you, virtually every shooter on the market.
Go watch a film. Most games have story as second fiddle to gameplay as it rightly should be because it's a -blam!- game.
I think the games that really shine are ones with great writing AND gameplay. Imagine combining Heavy Rain with your favorite type of gameplay. Alan Wake, for example, is one of my favorite games because I enjoy the plot just as much as the gameplay. If it can be done, there's really no excuse, is there?
