Which is more important in a game, the storyline or the gameplay??

The games that im referring to hear are mostly the final fantasy games and the metal gear solid series.

I think it has to be gameplay because i want to be actually PLAYING the game not just
sitting there staring at the TV with the controller on the ground waiting for a bloddy movie sequence to end. Dont get me wrong I like a good storyline but is it really necessary to have long movie sequences like the ones in metal gear solid games. Its not that i have no patience its just that if I want to watch a movie I go to the cinema.
(oh yea I still think the metal gear solid series is good just to tell you but final fantasy..)
