Best PC Game Story, thus far?

Watching a few youtube videos in on Heavy Rain had me hooked on the story. Perhaps the characters are relative to true life and not some half fantasy/sci-fi Michael Bay crap that has taken over the game industry. I stopped myself from finishing the full gameplay because I wanted to play for myself when I switch to pc.....then I realized it was PS3 only. :(

 

What great PC story games can I look forward to once my build is complete? A story that has captured you the most.....

Bioshock Infinite was a trip. Because I love Quantum Physics. 

Dark Souls' story was awesome. You have to look for it, but when you find it... it blind sides you. And that's 30% of why it's awesome.

To the Moon would be my personal favorite. Simply because... it hit close to home. Very close.

it's funny you say that because for me the best story has to be 'Between two souls' made by the same developer.  I  know how you feel.  I too wanted to play it on pc soooo bad but unfortunately it's a Sony exclusive.  :(

Um, so how would you rate Battlefield and Fallout NV's story? Compelling?

 

No stroking of the PC ego needed.

.....Ok.....So, all you had to say was Fallout NV and Battlefield 4. 

 

I may have complicated things by mentioning building my first pc. Nevermind that......
