RPGs and Adventure games are two entirely different things. RPGs may still be going strong but as far as story goes they are about all that is. Adventure games are still here but I can't think of the last adventure game that was a "big" release.
Outside the RPG field and even within the RPG field story telling has dropped in quality. Far too many games have fallen victim to great graphics and shitty story (hi Crysis) and I don't see that trend ending any time soon. Decent story telling should not be for RPGs only, and like I said even some newer RPGs have made me roll my eyes.
Edit: Also, games like MGS should be the rule not exception. Great story telling and plenty of action and they both go hand in hand perfectly. The sad thing is that for every game with a great story that we can list. We could list 10 more that completely failed at it. Paying out more money for a solid story line is worth it imo. Programmers should stick to making the game and not the story behind it
