No, it's definitely not a replacement, but as you saw, sometimes you want both in a game. And example for me is in GTA 5. I actually drive cars using kbd+mouse, which is rare for me. But, planes and choppers I just reach for the controller. You probably won't want it for any first person games, as a general rule third person games only. Basically any game that you might have played in the last 7-8 years or so that felt inordinately hard to control, or if certain missions just seemed impossible to get past -- you might go back and try them again with the controller. If it was released on consoles before the PC or at the same time, unless its a purely first person game, some things will just go more smoothly with the controlller. But, think of it as a supplemental device and not a replacement.
