Alright, folks, let’s dive into the quirky yet intriguing world of “Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii.” If you haven’t heard yet, the game features some valuable golden balls that can belong to none other than Goro Majima, assuming he’s ambitious enough to hunt all seven down as part of a sub-story.
Now, I’m sure some of you might have been misled by the headline, but let’s clear this up—these are literal golden balls. The task is to collect them from various spots where Goromaru makes port, similar to the gold-finding quests in “Like A Dragon: Gaiden.” There was a bit of a hiccup with a bug preventing some collectors from completing the set, but no worries, that’s been patched up. So, please put down the rotten veggies and call off Kiryu!
This bug fix is part of the latest update—patch 1.12—released by RGG today, March 7. The patch notes succinctly state, “Fixed an issue where the golden ball could not be obtained.” It’s a bit mysterious, isn’t it? Which ball was it, exactly? And what made it so elusive? Perhaps one of those treasure-seeking pirates who aren’t ex-Tojo Clan members made off with it? Alas, the specifics remain unknown. The key takeaway is that the golden balls are back, channeling the spirit of Thin Lizzy’s wild-eyed boys.
Besides the golden ball fix, the patch brings a slew of other improvements across all platforms:
– You can now manually save without a hitch.
– A glitch that caused players to tumble into the sea when loading save data on a ship has been addressed (admittedly, that might’ve been amusing).
– Arcade game rankings should now save properly.
– Typographical errors and localization issues have been tidied up.
– Various other tweaks to enhance stability and quality.
For PC players, the update bumps the game to Intel XeSS 2.0.1 and resolves a rare crash during resource loading. If you’re grappling with random driver crashes on certain NVIDIA GPUs, RGG suggests capping your FPS at 60 for smoother sailing.
If you haven’t jumped into Pirate Yakuza yet, I suggest giving it a go. And don’t miss my review, where I only slightly fret over whether not finding the humor in a middle-aged Japanese man showering means I’ve lost my comedic touch.
