Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii is finally here, continuing RGG Studio's run of somehow releasing well-received games in the same series with very little development time between them. If you weren't already impressed enough with Pirate Yakuza arriving just a year after Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, maybe a closer look at Goro Majima's beard in his latest outing will have you marveling at RGG's work like the rest of us.
Yakuza fan MangBloodrage shared a close-up of the mesh used for Majima's beard in Pirate Yakuza this week. Possibly a somewhat unimpressive image all by itself since it's just a bunch of rendered video game hairs in the shape of a bear. However, Mangbloodrage highlights just how detailed Majima's beard is for his high-seas adventure compared to one of the Mad Dog's previous outings.
We see Majima at his lowest, but then get to witness him rise to his finest.
Apparently, Majima's Pirate Yakuza beard is made up of 24,726 faces, or polygons. Polygons are those things Cloud was made of in Final Fantasy 7. They're still a thing, but video games have come so far that they aren't as obvious as they used...
