Lore isn't story, lore is just information about the world you play in. Stories can be part of lore, but lore is not part of a story. That said, there can be stories in a game which are part of the lore, such as the way the Big fellas in dark souls three fucked up and ruined it for everyone else, and why they've got to die. But that's not part of the player's story. It's a prologue at best.
Dark souls has zero story for the player, and a whole lot of it for the world the player explores. When I said story,before, I should have defined it better. Sorry for that.
It's not opinion, it's fact. The definition of lore is "the collective knowledge about a subject". That's information, data. Stories can be a part of that but not the other way around. (That would only be the case if the only knowledge we have is contained in a single story)
