The few story-based PC games tend to be mmorpg which aren't usually story-based games at all but just series of quests set in a world that don't tell stories in the form of a typical plot triangle with a beginning, middle, and end or shooters with stories tacked on. Things were different in the golden age of PC gaming when the most popular games were being made by the likes of LucasArts Adventure Game Studios, Sierra-On-Line with Roberta Williams, and the Lowes, and Infocom with all of its awesome text based games. But stories like those just don't seem to show up these days in PC games and when they do they don't usually have th budgets of games like Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy. |
If you actually look at the PC's line-up over the past 12 months, you will see many story driven games that were released for it:
That was the top 50 highest rated PC games over the past 12 months for the PC and many games are as much "Story Driven" games as any game released for the PS3 or XBox 360.
