They do ned good stories, but the problem with most games today is that they sacrifice the gameplay in order to tell that story, which is incredibly wrong.

I don't remember old shooters needing stories to be fun though. The sheer act of killing enemies in diverse and fun ways offered you more than enough satisfaction.
