Crimson Desert: Cliff Macduff looking out into the distance during the new game, Crimson Desert.

Yes, I am aware that technically, warships don’t need roads; they hang out in the ocean and that’s just not how water travel works. World of Warships has a roadmap nevertheless, and it’s an unusual one for Wargaming as it “marks a change” in how the studio communicates the game’s development. Part of those changes […]

Amazon Prime members can get 12 free PC games this month. Unlike Sony's free PlayStation Plus games, which you can only play while your subscription is active, Amazon's free games come via redeemable codes from various PC gaming storefronts, like the Epic Games Store and GOG. You'll still own and have access to them even if your Amazon Prime subscription comes to an end.

It's no secret that video games are getting more expensive. Just last week, Sony raised prices for all three models of the PlayStation 5, as well as the PlayStation Portal. Last fall, Microsoft hiked the prices for every model of the current-gen Xbox, as well as Xbox Game Pass.

Fans took to the game's official subreddit to decry the dilemma. Specifically, Great-Remove-844 posted on April 6 that, after taking the Fruit of Life key item during the Passage of Malice Abyss puzzle, the corresponding Fragment of Life mission breaks. Because the mission sends you to collect the Fruit of Life, if you already have it in your inventory, the game registers it as unusable, essentially softlocking you from completing this questline. This has been a contentious point for days, with Redditors posting about the Fragment of Life mission breaking since at least March 29.

This isn't the only questline that can break if you collect or sell certain items before their intended use. In the comments of Great-Remove-844's post, user No-Goal-3634 explained that, after selling a specific flower basket before the Surprise Gift mission, the questline was no longer completable. Elsewhere in the comments, Redditor grindgrindwilli said that collecting a certain note before turning in a bounty will brick a treasure hunt quest tied to that bounty. There's an order of operations, it seems.
