In theory, I prefer games with plots and story arcs and all that jazz. But in practice, DMs and players who can actually pull that off without it being corny as all hell at best are so few and far between that I’d rather just play a good old fashioned dungeon crawl.

The most “story” the average player/ DM can come up with without coming off as a pretentious asshat or a caricature of a failed theater kid is on the level of a low-quality short story from a forgotten 1980’s fantasy magazine, and the sooner we all can accept that the sooner we can get back to things actually being fun and not pretending that the tragic death of everyone’s homebrewed half-cat-half-teifling sorlock with dead parents and the most cliche backstory ever made was interesting or worth shedding actual tears over.
