@PJOReilly Trust me…..there are places where a lot of dust will gather that you just can’t get to unless you do the deep strip. But once it’s done it’s very satisfying experience to be 100% dust free…..as long as it powers on again 🤞🏻😂
I’ve done this twice but much deeper clean I would highly recommend.
This is the guide I followed https://youtu.be/UnOmCOFyC7A?si=wvVulnFWNO1S6wAr
p.s. I didn’t change the CPU thermal grease, not that brave 😳
Just not into turn based combat…..this, BG3, Metaphor: ReFantazio. Give me Avowed’s combat all day long. But well done on the success and another epic edition to GamePass!
Avowed. Just incredible game. Spent huge amount of time in Dawnshore, exploring, side quests, bounties…..time to get back to main quest and move on. I really struggle to complete games, giving BG3 a go few times, just can’t get into it, not a fan of turn based combat. Avowed has my total attention for a very long time!
@andrewsqual You even played Avowed? This game is special…..haven’t been into a game like this for very long time. I don’t care about reviews or Game of the Year. To be able to play this game on game pass with my subscription 🤯
Forget about improved shadow quality for XSX: Avowed's huge 66GB update includes major improvements for the game's whole progression system, along with key bug fixes and buffs for companions. Amazing quick fix!
After trying to get into Baldur’s Gate 3 a few times and failing….just hate that turn based combat, I played Avowed for around 4 hours last night and was blown away. One of the best games I’ve ever played. Congratulations to all the Team behind it 🙏🏻
Was PC gamer for long time….XBox One X was my first and now have 2 series X….XBOX for life for sure, Prime will be day 1 pre order, people can say what they want about Microsoft but I can’t imagine gaming life without game pass 🙏🏻
PC Gamer review……
As I get older, I find watching the impact of your bullets on a human body doesn't really spark joy. I don't know if I want to see that my long-range shot took out several vertebrae, or blew someone's jaw across the nearby countryside. Call me a prude, but these killcams slow gameplay down significantly, and mostly just make me squirm.
Totally agree with this. No interest and no fun in playing this.
Does not sound fun…..had a great time with D4 but got bored with the season reset, start again mechanic….might go back to D4 haven’t played the new expansion
Wow! Didn’t see that review coming….I know it has issues but after playing an hour was going to wait for some quick patches to fix….will uninstall and give them a year! Great honest review 🙏🏻
Never played them….always will have game pass ultimate because whatever people think about the price or any tiny price increase, game pass is ultimate value for money. Looking forward to playing them! 🙏🏻
Nothing! Game Pass subscription service has major outage! My auto renewal is pending 🤷🏻♂️
Why hasn’t this been reported at purexbox? Been down for more than 24hours!
@GamingFan4Lyf
I don’t believe PC Gaming is the best of all worlds.
Console gaming is a no brainer for value for money and convenience.
I don’t want to continue this Console v PC debate….lets agree to disagree 👍🏻
@WhiteRabbit 1 click on my joy pad, sitting on my couch in my man cave, fires up the XBox and 55” LG OLED, instant access to awesome Ultimate Game Pass, and too many games to play. When gaming session done, hold X shut down Xbox and OLED simultaneously. Sorry been there with a gaming PC back in the distant past when it was actually affordable to the average gamer….never going back there! Unless I win lottery and have crazy money and time to build a super duper PC rig lol
@Pabpictu
What? I would disagree with you.
Let’s go and spend £3000+ on a decent PC, or buy a XBox Series X for a fraction of the cost and play more or less same games….the extortionate price of graphics cards killed the PC.

Stalker 2 right?
Uninstalled trash. Wrong

Re: Stalker 2 Hits Massive Sales Milestone Despite Being In Xbox Game Pass
Lucky game pass subscriber….uninstalled this trash, another train wreck, over hyped garbage 🤦🏻♂️
Re: Review: Stalker 2 (Xbox) - GSC Game World's Long-Awaited Sequel Is A Mess

Re: Talking Point: Does Microsoft Have A '30FPS' Problem With Its Xbox Series X|S Output?
Major issue….leave 30fps to the dark ages and move on FFS.
If you can’t release a game at 60fps on the series X then don’t bother! Sick of this.
Re: Obsidian Confirms That Avowed Runs At 30FPS On Xbox Series X|S

60FPS OR DONT BOTHER!!!!!
This is getting ridiculous 🤷🏻♂️
Re: Avowed Gets Massive Uncut Gameplay Demo During Xbox's Final Gamescom Event For 2024
Oh dear, another Xbox S fail 🤷🏻♂️
30fps on the X is shocking.
STOP IT NOW!
