I learned japanese solely to play this game when they said it would never be localized. I also played the first 3 layton games in japanese as practice/warm up. then shortly after I finished the whole ordeal it came out in english. the localization was pretty iffy though
a sociopathic mammal gets elected as the president of the united states, and through the power of friendship defeats a rainbow cult on the moon by violently murdering its leader.
i didn't even mention he got elected by winning an snap election after murdering the president himself against the reanimated statue of Abraham Lincoln, and the head of this statue later in the franchise impregnates one of the main characters of the series and leads a coordinated strike of huge robots against an eldritch horror, designed as a distraction for the A team containing but not limited to his pregnant wife, a huge cockroach and the monster's best friend to stop the monster.
This one is hard. I'm thinking of a bunch of survival games.
I think the Far Cry/assassins creed games also have you kill a bunch of animals to upgrade your clothes. Like Kill 12 endangered whales to hold 2 more revolver rounds or something ridiculous.
the core gameplay loop is kill monster -> craft stronger equipment out of its corpse -> kill stronger monster -> repeat, and eventually you're killing these things just because the armor they make looks so good.
Japanese man gets into fist fights with every criminal organization in his country for plot reasons. And wins.
