Good PC Games with a story?

[F_Pastor]

Hey, forum. Can anybody recommend me some good PC games that have a good story?
Free would be awesome.

Just looking for good, simple games, like To The Moon or something like that. Thanks

There's also L.A. Noire. It's a detective story drama.

What's interesting is that you have to read people's faces and body language to help you decide if the people you are interrogating are telling the truth or lying.

Well, as I mentioned Bastion before, it was from an indie developer and published by WB games. I'd strongly recommend it. It has an interesting gating system for increasing difficulty in-game, and the in-game on the fly narration for developing the story is one of the most succinct but satisfying story deliveries in any rpg that I've played in several years, and should stand as a learning point for the entire genre in my opinion. Also, it has arguably the best game soundtrack from 2011.

Bastion does have a good soundtrack but you either didnt play the witcher 2 or just forgot about how genius its soundtrack was also

I have it, played it, listed it in my first post, but still rank its soundtrack wayyyyyyyyyy behind Bastion's. Bastion has a soundtrack that is good enough to end up on an ipod for independent listening. Witcher 2's is too orchestral for that.

I can see how you would think its too orchestral, and i also havent heard all of bastion since i only played the demo, but imo the witcher has the best soundtrack to any game ive ever played and the only reason i say this is cuz you said its way behind bastion which i cant believe, and dont want people to even think that , it really made me wish that video games won awards like movies win awards

Yes, they have been ported to PC, but they are far from PC games - the controls are terrible, and not suited for keyboard and mouse. PC games are the ones that were created for the PC as the main platform, like the Witcher or Counter Strike .

I'm not asking you to "believe" anything since we're not discussing anything factual. It's just an opinion that you seem to be very intent on anally examining until your head explodes lol. Like whatever you like guy, it's a free internet.
