The Division for PC

[afcTee]

Am about to upgrade my graphics card, and get a new headset. The idea is to start playing via my PC, versus my Xbox.Just last week, I bought a Gold Edition for Xbox, for $36.00. This included EVERYTHING, Season Pass, the lot.Any links etc. for deals on a PC version? Albeit I'd rather download it, versus a disc...Most places I see it, cost if $59.99. I've already paid $59.99 for Xbox in November, 2016, and last week $36. So...

It's been $50 mostly (with $25 sales) through Steam.  As I have 8 cores it really does not matter that both steam and UBISoft run in the background. (Actually I run the game, steam, UBISoft, Skype, Skype for Business, and Edge playing music mostly because I am lazy.)

While playable at HD (1920x1200) with a AMD HD 7970,  I would get more if you can afford it (search Tom's Hardware for a really cool power chart of graphics cards).  My average FPS is 30 or so and it will drop to 20-25 in weird places (not necessarily in combat, location based).  I run "high" settings not overclocked as I had issues :40_rage: .  But playable.

I also use a logitech controller (the cheap one).  As I learned gaming on consoles. BUT I highly suggest making the switch to keyboard and mouse - I really need to.  Again too lazy.

...it appears buying PC games have changed in 10 years, compared to console games. It has been a while since I built a gaming computer, and even bought computer games. This could be very interesting.

If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to play a purchased xbox game on your pc if you sign into your Microsoft account. Not exactly sure on the details but I believe you shouldn't have to buy it again. I don't play anything on PC but I have heard in the past that this is something newer that Microsoft is doing.

Check out this link and let me know how it works as I'm curious myself.

Interesting! I need to review this and confirm. But, it almost seems like you're merely 'connecting' to your Xbox, per se'.

Considering the graphics and processing power available from a PC, I wonder just how good this would be. Thanks for posting the links...
