Like A Dragon: Latest Pirate Yakuza Update in Hawaii Secures Goro Majima’s Golden Balls

So, here’s the deal: in the game “Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii,” you can find some shiny, golden balls. No, not what you were thinking—I’m talking about literal golden spheres, which Goro Majima can collect by hunting them down in a sub-story arc.

Sorry to burst your bubble if the headline led you astray, but these gold treasures are scattered across the various locations that Goromaru docks at, similar to what you might remember doing in “Like A Dragon: Gaiden.” There was a pesky bug stopping some players from getting all the golden balls, but thankfully, that’s old news. The bug has been squashed, so no need to pelt me with tomatoes or threaten to unleash Kiryu.

The fix came with the latest update, patch 1.12, released today, March 7, by RGG. It includes a straightforward note stating they “fixed an issue where the golden ball could not be obtained”. Mysterious, right? Which specific golden ball was the problem? What made it unobtainable in the first place? Did some swashbuckling pirate snatch it away? Looks like we’ll just have to wonder. But hey, the balls are back, as Thin Lizzy might have put it, those elusive, wild-eyed balls have returned, and that’s the important part.

Now, let’s dive into what else this patch brought, spread across all platforms:

– They’ve resolved an issue where you couldn’t save your game manually.
– There was a glitch where reloading save data on a ship under certain conditions might send you plunging into the sea with no way back. (Admittedly, that could have been a hilarious mess.)
– Arcade game rankings weren’t saving properly, but that’s sorted now.
– They’ve cleaned up some typos and made improvements to localization.
– A variety of other stability and quality-enhancing bug fixes were also implemented.

For the PC folks out there, the update includes a bump to Intel XeSS 2.0.1 and addresses “a rare crash issue during resource loading”. Plus, if your NVIDIA GPU causes random driver crashes, RGG suggests capping your FPS at 60 in the settings.

If “Pirate Yakuza” hasn’t yet made it onto your gaming radar, definitely check out my review. It might reveal my slightly concerning introspection on the comedic value of not finding a middle-aged Japanese man awkwardly showering as funny as I once did.
