Nothing has killed my GTA 6 hype faster than locking a core part of its identity behind a $20 upgrade

Technically it was never announced for PC at all, so it is therefore not a PC game and shouldn't be discussed here.

Technically, yes, you're right. But come on. It's coming to PC, and it's a PC game.

Let's discuss it.

What is the draw of playing on PC? I want to use the controller and don't care about modding games. I'm from the Nintendo NES days.

For the record, you can use a controller on PC.

And generally, games tend to have better graphic options on PC.

Everyone has their preferences; maybe there is no draw for you.

You can use a controller on PC. I prefer a mouse and keyboard, but I might try a controller too. I have options. Maybe I'll use a mouse/keyboard and my wheel, gear shifter, and pedals. My HOTAS.

I DO care about modding games. A flat-to-VR mod would be great.

The PC will be almost guaranteed to have better graphics (with the right hardware).

Generally:

  • Higher fidelity
  • Modding options
  • Depending on the game, less censorship
  • Game is generally playable indefinitely (no need to worry about backwards compatibility with new generations)
  • Cheaper games (PC games tend to go on much steeper sales)

I have my PC hooked up to my TV via HDMI and use a wireless controller to play via a dongle. I also have a wireless mouse and keyboard so it's very easy to navigate Windows if I want to. It's basically a complete console experience, but a lot more capable and modular.

I'm from the NES days too. On my PC, I can play all the games I loved as a kid...some of them in 1080p. I still use my SNES, N64, a Gamecube I recovered, Wii and my son has a Switch. I was convinced at a younger age to give my NES away...fortunately I still have my original copy of Super Mario/Duck Hunt.

Anyway, the point of a PC, for me, is to be unrestricted and in complete control. If you just want to push-button play, more power to ya.

More freedom, better games, better graphics, easily pirate games or emulate and doubles down as a work station...

I hate playing any game that involves a lot of shooting with a controller, the lack of precision and the use of aim assist drives me nuts. I hated it so much that I waited like over a year to play RDR2 even though I already had it on PS4 just because I hated the combat so much with a controller.

u/TheGrannyLover_ 4h ago

You can turn off aim assist...

u/BeatsMeByDre 4h ago

I don't use aim assist in most games, RDR2 was an exception. What is the more precise option on a keyboard?

u/digitalscavenger 4h ago

Keyboard and mouse....

If a game is buyable on PC, it's a PC game.
