Ryu Ga Gotoku ("Like a Dragon", formerly "Yakuza").
The devs feared that the game was too Japanese and would confuse and alienate Western gamers. Over the past decade they've been working on being less heavy-handed with localization and allowing the game to just be what it is now that they're getting all these feedback from players that bursts their bubble.
