This is what I always felt. Games sure do focus a lot on story these days, but it's mostly really horrible and tedious stuff. I can't get into it. The quality divide in storytelling between good movies and supposedly good game stories is ridiculously wide. Game stories make me feel like I'm reading horrible fanfics written by people with autism and a weird obsession with exposition.
If this burnout ends and I'm still playing games in 10 years, it will probably be nothing but arcade games and similarly trimmed/focused games. I like games to be sharply different from the movie medium.
