As you might know, “Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” features some intriguing tasks involving golden balls that Goro Majima has to collect. If he manages to gather all seven scattered across various locations where Goromaru docks, he’s in for a treat.
Now, to clear up any confusion from that sensational headline—these balls are quite literally made of gold, and your mission, much like in “Like A Dragon: Gaiden,” is to find them. Some players hit a snag with a glitch preventing the full collection, but thankfully, that issue’s been resolved. So, no need to direct any frustration my way or threaten to unleash Kiryu!
This fix is part of the latest update, patch 1.12, which RGG rolled out today—March 7th. The patch notes tersely mention, “Fixed an issue where the golden ball could not be obtained.” That’s all the detail we get. We can only speculate whether some in-game pirate made off with the goods or if it was just a bit of programming mischief. The main thing is, the balls are back, echoing The Thin Lizzy vibes: those wild-eyed treasures have returned, and that’s what counts.
Let’s dive into what else the patch offers:
– The patch sorted out an issue with manual saving not working right.
– If you found yourself loading a save and, under odd conditions, ending up in the drink (literally falling into the sea), that’s been addressed. Admit it, that sounds like a bit of unplanned entertainment.
– Arcade game rankings are now properly saved.
– Various typos and localization issues got a tidy-up.
– And a bunch of other minor bug fixes aimed at enhancing stability and quality.
For PC gamers, there’s a couple of noteworthy tweaks: the update bumps the game to Intel XeSS 2.0.1, and they’ve fixed an unusual crash occurring during resource loading. Plus, if NVIDIA GPU users are encountering random crashes, RGG’s advice is to set your FPS cap to 60.
If you haven’t explored the world of Pirate Yakuza yet, I suggest you give my review a look. I may express some mild concern about my waning sense of humour when finding the antics of a showering, middle-aged Japanese man less amusing than usual.
