This New Game Might Scratch That GTA 6 Itch, Just Don't Expect A GTA-Sized Experience (Or Price Tag)
The debut title from Just Cause developer Christofer Sundberg's new studio Liquid Swords launches this week, and the launch trailer has arrived. The game is called Samson: A Tyndalston Story, and at a glance, it looks like Grand Theft Auto without guns.
The $25 game has players taking on the role of Samson, a man who "learned violence before he learned mercy." The game has a debt system where Samson must pay off mobsters after a heist goes badly, and his sister is being held for collateral. Players have a payment quota, and deadlines to meet, with the debt interest growing if missions are unsuccessful.
Samson can earn more than 25 upgrades to improve his brawling and driving skills. The game does not give Samson any guns, but he can drive weaponized cars to get jobs done. The game has multiple open-world districts and NPCs that remember your past behavior.

Crimson Desert Players Beg You Don't Take Items Too Early
Crimson Desert is one of those games where, if you see it, you can likely go to it, living up to the Bethesda-ism that Skyrim was built on. Unfortunately, with great freedom comes great regret, as players warn that you could break quests by exploring too soon.
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.

The best World of Warcraft players in the world are locked in a neck-and-neck race to bring down Midnight Season 1's final boss on Mythic difficulty, and just when it looked like one guild had done it, a secret boss phase flipped the script.
Team Liquid and Team Echo have been locked in a tight race to bring down L'ura, the final boss of the March on Quel'Danas raid, with each guild just a few health percentage points away from bringing the dark naaru down. Liquid looked to have secured the win on April 4, bringing L'ura down to 0 HP, only for the naaru to secretly have a fourth phase. In an Easter surprise, the boss healed to her full 1 billion health and began overwhelming the arena in darkness, quickly killing the last remaining raiders.
Getting back to that phase has been tricky for both teams, with each having only done it a handful of times. However, each time a team has reached the secret phase, they've been able to glean more information about it. The good news is that with more intel, it looks like the phase itself is relatively simple (though still extremely challenging). Players need to stick close together in a light bubble while avoiding L'ura's lasers and voidlings, as well as be able to heal through massive damage from a raid-wide attack. The even better news is that L'ura takes significant extra damage during this phase. If each team can get to the final phase with most of the raid alive, the boss should go down relatively quickly.
