Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza Update in Hawaii Makes Goro Majima’s Golden Balls Accessible

As you might already know, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii features some intriguing golden balls, and they could end up in the hands of Goro Majima. But he’s got to hunt them down first, collecting all seven as part of a fascinating side adventure.

Now, if you were hoping for something different from the title, I must clarify—these are actual golden orbs scattered across the various locales Goromaru visits, somewhat reminiscent of the quest in Like A Dragon: Gaiden. Previously, a glitch made it impossible for some to gather all the balls, but rest assured, that’s now sorted. So, please, put down the rotten tomatoes and no need to unleash Kiryu on me!

This much-needed fix is part of the game’s latest update, patch 1.12, which RGG rolled out today—March 7. The update notes succinctly clarified, “Fixed an issue where the golden ball could not be obtained.”

Thanks for keeping us guessing, RGG. Which ball was causing all the fuss? Was it sneakily pinched by those crafty pirates swarming the game, who aren’t exactly retired Tojo Clan big shots? The mystery remains unsolved. But hey, the balls are back in play, and that’s what really counts.

Now, let’s talk about the other tweaks this patch brings across all platforms:

– Fixed a glitch that prevented manual saving.
– Fixed a bug that could make a player fall into the sea and get stuck when loading a saved game under specific conditions. (Though I’m sure it was quite the spectacle!)
– Fixed an issue where arcade game rankings wouldn’t save.
– Corrected various typographical mistakes and improved localization issues.
– Made several other enhancements to stabilize and improve the game experience.

PC gamers, don’t fret. The update also brings the game up to Intel XeSS 2.0.1 and resolves a rare crash issue during resource loading. If you’re facing random driver crashes on certain NVIDIA GPUs, RGG suggests limiting your FPS to 60 via the settings.

In case you haven’t tried Pirate Yakuza yet, be sure to check out my review of it. I do express a slight concern over whether no longer finding a middle-aged Japanese man showering amusing is a sign I’m losing my sense of humor—but you’ll have to judge for yourself!
