Games are boring.

I don't think it's the gameplay.

Are there any games with an intelligent concept or plot, or in the least ones that can be taken seriously and don't either have slapstick humor (Planescape) or a corny basis (Xenogears)?

I think it has atleast some slapstick humor, although seriously OP should stop being so damn serious. Slapstick(or any kind) humor doesn't ruin good story if it's fitting and not over used.
