I've been feeling better and better about PC gaming these past few years. Most people I know have been making the switch to PC from Consoles. The biggest factor being steam sales (or X company sales)... the sales themselves reduce the risk associated with buying games; especially, triple A titles which tend to be expensive and hit or miss.

Grand Theft Auto for PC at 4K, while requiring a helluva graphics card, blows away consoles. To be honest any game I've played on a PC has been a better experience (with the exception of racing games and some side scrollers which benefit from an input device not being a keyboard or mouse).

You're right, most games available on PC and console are usually better on PC, but I'm talking about Mortal Kombat, Batman Arkham Knight, No Man's Sky, Dark Souls, etc.

Admittedly, on PC, there's probably hundreds of great games for each bad port, but it seems to happen more and more. Maybe I'm conflating it with the rise of botched releases in general.

And yes, GTA4 is one heck of a PC port.

The Xbox controller is supported by almost all games on PC out of the box, nowadays. It's the defacto PC standard.

Lots of games from triple-a studios support DS4 controllers as well. As in switching button prompts and using the light bar. Without the need for DS4Windows or Steams new controller support.
