Personally I rely on reviews and reading people's opinions and discussions on gaming forums.
Exactly. You can't know in advance whether or not the story will be good, but reviews and other people's opinions matter. If several people (that coincidentally like more or less the same games that you do) all praise the story, then you rarely can go wrong.
But you'll never play the games on day 1 of their release, either, if you wait for the reviews...
Unless it's by a developer whom you fully trust, but I personally haven't had that since Lucasarts stopped making adventure games...
