It's on all platforms, however just as a heads up there's a bug on PC right now that makes it so matchmaking takes a very long time right now. Oh and besides the fact that the game will take around 185GB of your storage.
What kind of games are you into?
I've typically been an RPG guy and anything Blizzard to some extent. WoW has been my mainstay for a decade, but looking to branch out. Call of Duty has always fascinated me. Didn't know if PC was better or worse than console (we all know typically PC is king).

PC is ALWAYS king. So much so that PC has to be given a nerf (aim assist) to allow the console plebs to even be given a chance at comparing. The problem there though is the aim assist REALLY makes a difference and gives them too much of an advantage. If your mainstay is RPG then COD won't appeal too much. The campaign is a lot of fun, but otherwise it is a twitch 1st person shooter.
RPG wise you have The Witcher, Skyrim, Star Wars KOTR, and Fallout are all titles I have not played, but have heard from friends that loved them a lot.
Ones I have played and can vouch for include:
Deus Ex (played the series and loved the whole story and gameplay)
Mass Effect (fucking amazing game play and story, they really did a great job with this one...except Andromeda.. leave that piece of shit alone)
Dude. Fallout. WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I disagree honestly, while I was average on console I absolutely body nerds while on PC. Also you've never played any of the Fallouts nor KOTR??
I have...probably several thousand hours combined in Skyrim, FO 3/ FO New Vegas/ FO 4, and Witcher 3. They are phenomenal.

Never got around to it TBH. By the time it was in my sphere it was already at 3 or 4 and I had other gaming priorities. Heard great things. Just never played. Like Assasin's Creed.
Same as above. Never had the chance to play them. Heard great things, just never played. Never been a huge SW fan so they never reall sparked my interest. PC is harder no doubt. It requires skill. Console has a function that literally brings the cross hairs center of mass for you if you get the timing and pressure right. With PC you have to be on time and on target all on your own. Yes cheats are easier to acquire and use on a PC, but they are not as prevalent with good anti cheat support.

If you want a great Game I recommend The Outer Worlds it’s a space RPG from Obsidian the Folks who made New Vegas. You play as a Colonist who journeys to a new colony and than gets frozen for like 50 years and Wakes up to a colony system that’s controlled by an Evil board of directors and has dwindling resources. Great Times abound!!!

The crayon eater has jokes, huh?
I really need to go to bed, but first...I pulled up my Steam account. Some of these numbers seem awfully low to be honest. Anyway, Steam says...
Fallout 3 - 7.4 hours on the GOTY edition which is probably why it is so low, I didn't buy it as a GOTY.
Fallout NV - 252 hours (No freaking way it is this low)
Fallout 4 - 297 (probably right, but if anyone thinks I played FO4 more than FO:NV...wow)
Skyrim - 590 hours (there is no way it is this low)
Witcher 3 - 95 hours (sounds about right)
Destiny 2 - 1,036 hours since the Oct. 1 migration to Steam

Holy shit, and I thought I played too much video games doing a couple hours a week..
For some reason I'm kind of pissed Steam isn't tracking what I actually spent on the game.
I used to have a contracting gig where I could game 12 hours a day. I could bring my laptop into the workcenter and if nothing was going on, I was caught up on school work, etc., then I had the night to myself. I can't do any of that now, but I'm still overseas, wife's in the States, so I have a few hours after work each night to play if I want.
