As a PC gamer, I pretty much agree with you. But PC gaming over console gaming is kind of like having a dog instead of a cat. Hear me out:
With a console, much like a cat, you just kind of plug it in and it's good to go for the life of that generation. No muss, no fuss.
With a PC, you DO have to care for it a bit. You want to make sure you clean it out on a regular basis (honestly, you do), keep its drivers up to date, squeeze all the computing power out of it that you can through overclocking, first/third-party programs like Afterburner, Catalyst, etc.- it really is fun, but it does take time if you want to be playing recent AAA titles. If you're up for that sort of thing, then yea, the PC is probably the best bet to go along with a Nintendo console. You'll get most of that generation's third-party "big" games, and Nintendo's first-party awesomeness. (Also, yea, if you like RTS games, welcome to heaven. Star Citizen is coming up soon! HUGE exclusive for PC.)
And the Arkham Knight PC thing...unfortunately, this isn't exactly an isolated incident. A LOT of those AAA games that concurrently release on PC suffer from poor optimization, though usually the devs/AMD/NVIDIA work really hard to fix things quickly.
Sorry for so much text, but PC gaming can be very rewarding - I wish you luck!
@rallydefault Thanks! I see what you mean, but I'll probably not go crazy with maximizing the power of it and won't do anything with overclocking and that software. I'll probably only play a handful of the multiplatform titles, mostly non demanding ones like South Park (and Arkham Knight being mostly an exception), and focus on some of the RTS and adventure games to complement my Nintendo time.
