I want to be near tears at the end, I want to be moved in a way that only something with a compelling story can do. I'm tired of games like CoD being nothing but action, any suggestions?

LoZ feel type of game would be wonderful.

That's what I was thinking.
It's probably not gonna get him to shed tears, but it's definetly an emotionally moving game, and it's atmosphere is probably the best I've ever seen.
I recommend it to everyone who didn't try it yet!!!

Beyon Good & Evil is a solid adventure game. But emotionally moving? Nah...

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is probably the most emotional game I've played. Seriously. All that drama (I don't want to spoil it for people who haven't played it yet) at each act's end. I wasn't expecting this from a FPS.

Since you don't specify on which platform, I will name some console games as well.

The obvious:

-Silent Hill 2 and 3

-Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (has THE best emotional story IMO, I cry like a baby about the ending every time I play it through)

-Metal Gear Solid 3 (was the first game that made me bawl my eyes out, even fucking Snake cries at the end, so it's legit)

Nier. It is not on PC, but if you play through and get all 4 endings, I can guarantee there will be a spot in your heart for all of the characters. Trust me. :)

Does emotionally moving have to mean sad? If not, check out The Nameless Mod (no, I'm not making that up, thats the name of the mod, google it) for the original Deus Ex. It's absolutely hilarious, and if you've played and liked the original Deus Ex you'll love TNM. Not only is it funny, it's got really solid gameplay and stays true to the style of Deus Ex with multiple solutions to every problem, e.t.c.

I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead. It might not move you to tears(yet), but I got really invested in the characters and the story is great.

QFT. Don't forget Vampire: The Masquerade: The Subtitle: Bloodlines. Add a fanpatch of your choosing for good times. The haunted house is one of the best events out there.

Why the fuck has no one played NeiR? It has the most compelling story line EVER. If you have an Xbox or a PS3, GET IT NOW! I guarantee that it will bring you to tears, especially after the fourth ending. :'(
