re: "More of a story guy"

Depends on why you game. If you game as stand in for sport, you'll be drawn to the games you're drawn to. If you game as a stand in for other forms of narrative media like movies, books, etc, then you'll be drawn to other types of games.

Some people would rather watch American Gladiators than Breaking Bad. Some would rather watch Breaking Bad than American Gladiators. Some enjoy both; some enjoy neither.

I used to enjoy competitive gaming, but now I would rather scratch my competitive itch in other ways. Now I game for the enjoyment that comes from experiencing something that was specifically crafted to be experienced in a particular way. Neither is right or wrong. Just different priorities.
