I really want to get back into pc gaming, but right now i do it all on xbox 360 and xbone. All fps games will be on xbone so i can play against my wife on her's. So, are there enough rpgs and such on pc with better graphics?

Is PC Gaming Worth It?

I would say PC graphics are definitely better, however, if you already are committed to FPS games on the console, I don't know if the draw of "prettier" games is enough to warrant the cost of a PC just for them. It's strange for me to say that because I would never use a console for anything but Madden (and that's only because Madden isn't available on PC), but if you are someone who doesn't have an aversion to first person shooters with a controller, what's the point of a PC, really?
Objectively speaking, PC gaming is the way to go. Games look better, run smoother, and are cheaper. You do have to deal with some negatives like some games being terrible ports from the console versions and console-exclusive titles, but for the most part, PC gaming is a better experience. It's difficult to argue that console gaming isn't more "relaxed", though.
In the end, I think it comes down to what kind of gamer you are. If you enjoy a wide variety of titles (and you seem to) and aren't against mouse-keyboard for input (though you can get a controller), PC is probably the way to go.
What was the question again? lol

I game for the most part on my Pc, using a mouse and keyboard. I do have a few consoles in my house that my son plays on, which are Xbox 360, Ps4 and a couple of older ones. When I try and play a game such as BF4 on the Ps4 I find using the controller a lot more difficult then playing it on my Pc. The graphics on the Ps4 and also the Xbox 360 are really good as you probably know, though they can be better on a Pc. That said you would need a good Gpu if you wanted to run the modern games at with all the eye candy turned up. I find the game play on the Pc a lot more rewarding but to go to a Pc just for better graphics, may not be worth it.

For me as of late indy games have had the biggest draw. There are a few AAA titles I like. Sure they don't have the best graphics but game play and story are normally superior.
As stated before games are cheaper, the AAA games look better(unless they intentionally not meant to) and there so many more games to choose from.

to me pc gaming vs console is apples vs oranges. pc's have game mods etc, better graphics and more keys! consoles are better for relaxed gaming and social gaming in the same room. for the last couple months i've been pc gaming because i just built a new rig so the new factor is still there. if you have the money, both gets my vote.

I've just recently started playing Borderlands 2 Co-op with a friend. One PC, 2 screens, 2 Controllers (Xbox One, and logitech PS3 style controller). Running 2 whole displays with maxed graphics perfectly smooth on one system has been a great argument for PC gaming. At least for me.
