You are the worst human.
Seriously though, if you haven't played the games then, as you said, you really can't speak of them with any real authority. For one, Dynasty Warriors, and other Musou games (Like the Fist of the North Star or One Piece games, for example), DO have a story, and sometimes can have a great story (This is something that happens a lot in Franchises).
That being said, don't expect any Walking Dead/Telltale level shit. The main draw is the gameplay which is lot deeper than "You go around punching dudes." I mean, yes, that is exactly what you do, but that's like saying all you do in Zelda is Dungeon crawling, or all you do in Mario is jump and stomp, or all you do in Civilization is micro-managing. It's not untrue to say these things, but playing any of these franchises you know it's a bit more involved with that. There is a challenge in making sure you manage your character correctly (The Last Musou Game I played was Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage, which had the level up system in it, and I have no reason to believe this is untrue for other games), you have to engage enemies strategically since you can't just go into a crowd of mooks and just punch/kick until everyone is dead. You need to make sure that you don't get flanked while performing a combo, or let yourself get overwhelmed, or pull out a move that can either one shot this guy in front of you, or you can use a different move to keep the crowd from jumping you all at once. Bosses fight differently, as do the different characters you play.
No, it's not the Citizen Kane of games, or whatever, but they are fun brawlers that have more depth than you're giving them credit for. In my opinion, there's nothing to apologize for and if you think those games are boring, then you sir have a very different definition of fun than I do, and I don't think we can really be friends ever or engage on a personal level due to what is such an obvious rift in personal taste and personality.
Also, if you don't like brawlers, you won't like the Musou games which, again, is a shame.
Also, as for the flashy way to waste time comment.... What the hell do you think video games are FOR? And I know you said that's a dim view of it, and you really want games to an excel as an art form, but I find a game made for art's sake usually misses the point, which is fun.
