If you want to tell a story, create a movie or book.
If you want pretty pictures, create art.
If you want to make a video game, put your passion into game play mechanics.
None of the timeless games have a story. Chess, sports, go, cards, none of them have any story. None of them are focused on pretty graphics either.
You will know if your game is good when you enjoy PLAYING it. Games are meant to be PLAYED, not watched. Can't watch a game if no one is playing it.
