Two months after its release, players can finally 100% complete the massive RPG as the game's latest patch fixes a lingering glitch. While the latest entry in the Remake Trilogy may have impressed players with a relatively smooth launch, one bug that managed to irk many Platinum Hunters locked off a certain sidequest, preventing enthusiasts from properly finishing the game. Fortunately, Square Enix has been hard at work fixing the error, meaning players desperate to collect their final trophy can now do so with ease.
Posted to X (formerly Twitter), confirmed that the recently released Patch 1.030 addresses a series of problematic bugs, including the one that prevented the G-Bike minigame from registering players' high scores, meaning the «Can't Stop Won't Stop» Trophy can now officially be completed.
Aside from mending this problem, the latest update doesn't really do much else, largely focusing on smaller bugs that were less game-breaking. These include a glitch that prevented players from gaining the Cactuar Crusher trophy and another that fixed some minor display bugs.
Given the sheer scale of and the number of quests it throws at players, the game's community takes pride in finishing up every mission available, and while a Platinum Trophy isn't necessary to «finish» the latest title it's still a decent badge of honor. The glitch made it impossible to 100% complete the game, prompting a great deal of confusion regarding the state of the bugged quest. Considering it was linked to the high scores achieved on the G-Bike minigame, players suspected it was either a bug or the actual challenge was especially difficult to complete.
While the Platinum Trophy is now attainable, the vast minority of the community has yet to complete the game 100% and it's not just because of the bugged achievement. is already an especially long game loaded with side quests and optional content that will take the average player approximately 100 hours to complete to its fullest extent. Considering that it would likely take at least a couple of playthroughs to obtain the Platinum Trophy, it makes sense that only 0.1% of the player base has reached the goal.
It's worth noting that isn't a necessarily difficult game to complete 100%,it's just a time-consuming experience. Given that some of the trophies require some amount of grinding, it also also be a relatively tedious process that could sap some of the enjoyment out of the experience. Still, it's good to know that the option to obtain the Platinum Trophy is back on the table for those dedicated diehards.

While the franchise may be known for blitzing through demon-infested halls as fast as possible while also gunning down hordes of monsters, one dedicated speedrunner managed to do it faster than anyone else, shattering a long-standing world record. Given the games' emphasis on speed, it's no wonder why id Software's seminal first-person shooters are so popular amongst the speedrunning community. It's a game that's incredibly accessible to learn but infinitely difficult to master, so much so that many believe some of the older records are impossible to beat but every once in a while, someone proves the naysayers wrong.

The community may be pleased with itself for repelling the Automatons and crushing the bots in Operation Swift Disassembly but the Bots have other plans as Arrowhead Studios announces that the enemy faction is back with a mighty counterattack. Having fought long and hard to reclaim the territories on the Western frontier of the galaxy, Helldivers finally earned some downtime as, for a brief moment, peace seemed to be at hand. Unfortunately, the moment didn't last and Arrowhead Studios is calling on players to respond to a massive Automaton invasion fleet.
Buckshot Roulette is simple, and simply unsettling. Sat across the table from a mysterious opponent clad in a deeply unnerving toothy mask, you pick up a shotgun loaded with shells. Then, you decide whether to point the gun at your opponent or yourself, and pull the trigger. Some of the shells are live, and others are blanks. Guess correctly, and you get to go again.
Windows handhelds like the ROG Ally have specs that put the Steam Deck to shame, but are let down by Windows being terrible as a handheld operating system. So, what if you could have the best of both worlds?
The deck-fixing roguelikelike poker of Balatro is chuffing excellent, no doubt, but my main criticism has been that the higher difficulty modes are just a bit boring. Having beat them myself, I didn't find them a fun or interesting challenge as much as an annoying one that required too much to go right. I'm glad to hear that they're being tweaked in an upcoming patch, which you can now test in a public beta on Steam, and even the lowest difficulty setting will be tweaked. Other changes include improved (hopefully) Steam Deck performance, balance tweaks, and better Joker-related Tags.

Remember when Redbox or Blockbuster would let you rent some of the newest titles for just a few bucks a day? A new trend has emerged to fill the void left behind by the loss of rental services. Many public libraries have started to collect video games, and it doesn't cost a cent to borrow them.
Roblox allows its players to create and monetise their own creations within its ecosystem. Across the entire breadth of Roblox game makers, a lot of money is made. At the individual level, however, the vast majority of creators making work within Roblox never earn enough to cash out their earnings - and some of those creators are children. This has long led to allegations that Roblox is exploiting child labour, generating huge profits for Roblox Studio and its shareholders in the process.
