I have my own thoughts on this.

I believe gameplay should be another means of telling the story, and a game's story (or plot) should enhance our gameplay experience; when I know why I'm shooting the bad guys, shooting them becomes a lot more fun. These two things should never be segregated; they should both be working together in concert to make the entire experience more entertaining.
