If you’ve been keeping up with the gaming community lately, you might have heard about the intriguing twist in “Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii.” The game challenges players to collect seven golden balls, and yes, Goro Majima is the lucky character tasked with this shiny scavenger hunt. These golden orbs are scattered across various ports and locations, reminiscent of the hunt in “Like A Dragon: Gaiden.”
While some players have been pulling their hair out over a bug that made collecting all the balls impossible, there’s good news. The issue has been patched, and you can put those rotten tomatoes away—Kiryu won’t be showing up at my doorstep anytime soon.
Today, March 7, marks the release of patch 1.12, courtesy of RGG. The update addresses the frustrating issue: “Fixed an issue where the golden ball could not be obtained.” While RGG remains mysteriously vague about which ball was the culprit or how it managed to evade capture, we can only speculate. Perhaps a sneaky pirate from the game decided it wasn’t ready to part with its newfound treasure. Either way, the long-lost balls have returned, much to the relief of players everywhere.
The patch isn’t just about golden balls, though. Here’s a breakdown of what else got a fix across all platforms:
– You can now save your game manually once more.
– A bizarre bug that let players fall into the sea when loading a game on a ship, rendering them unable to return, has been resolved. Quite the adventure, but now one you can avoid!
– Arcade game rankings are now saving correctly.
– RGG has also cleaned up various typos and improved localization, making the game experience smoother.
– Plus, a handful of other tweaks aimed at enhancing overall stability and quality have been implemented.
For PC players, there are a couple of extra updates: the game has been upgraded to Intel XeSS 2.0.1, and a pesky crash issue during resource loading has been addressed. If you’re experiencing random driver crashes with certain NVIDIA GPUs, RGG suggests capping your FPS at 60 to keep things running smoothly.
And if you haven’t yet given Pirate Yakuza a go, you should dive into my review of the game. Just a light-hearted heads-up—it contains a touch of worry about whether my sense of humor is intact if I didn’t find a certain scene of a middle-aged Japanese gentleman showering as amusing as one might expect.
