I think that only storyline-driven games are interesting since I have a thing for appreciating good stories. As a result, I find that most games are boring since they heavily depend on lore or don't directly present a clear story (eg. Elden Ring or BoTW). I'm not really sure what the last two paragraphs of this post are trying to get at, but I also fail to see the enjoyment of multiplayer games, since I only find video games another medium to tell a story. If they aren't for stories, I can't really find any enjoyment from them.

What's the purpose of playing a video game, or slaying an enemy, or exploring a world if I don't have an intricate plot that supports my actions? As such, I see no fruition in most games. The only games I've enjoyed playing in the past four years is Persona 5 (and now Yakuza 0) since they are extremely plot-driven and my gameplay is a means to further a story. If there isn't a purpose to my playing, then I can't play.

I suggest for you Outer Wilds. It's an exploration game, with a cool mechanic that I won't spoil and a story that is just great, never had a game experience quite like it.

You and the author are both making the mistake of generalizing games as boring based on your specific tastes.

Unlike the author, I dislike online games, I want a more controlled experience. Unlike you, I dislike plot-driven games. I can't imagine anything more boring than watching a cutscene or reading dialog. The exception is something like Portal where the story is told seamlessly in-game.

"Games I don't like are boring" is hardly a subject worth writing a blog post about.

I believe that expressing an opinion is a perfectly merit-worthy reason to write a blog post, unless I misunderstand something.

Sure, you can write a blog post for any reason, but writing about something you are not interested in is probably not going to be interesting. Like when teenagers talk about why one genre of music is better than another. It boils down to opinion, there's nothing interesting to say there.
