Too many games these days focus on lots of pointless gunfire and action with no real gameplay, no challenge and the story is usually crap, and full of holes to boot.

The plot in shooting games is as important as in porn movies.

True enough, but you don't want something quite as insulting to your intellect as: "You have to kill this entire army by yourself just because the game requires you to do so".
Even though that is the essence of the games, I like to see someone make some sort of effort to make it feel vaguely like you've achieved something in the hours and hours you've spent perched infront of your computer/console, that you could've spent interacting with actual people. Plus a good plotline can tie together multiple bosses nicely.
That said, no amount of a nice plotline accounts for weak gameplay. See the Ghost in the Shell: StandAlone Complex PS2 game for an example of that.
