I'm sure some of us have much to say about this.

I'm just going to start with one really strong example of mine that I was thinking of earlier. I love the Ace Attorney series, but the localization team for the second and third games is not to be left unsupervised. The games have a bunch of clumsy references to memes and pop culture stuff that already seems really outdated. The one that got the loudest groan out of me was the third game's incredibly ham-fisted attempt at inserting a "This is Sparta!" joke into an optional scene that really had no use for it at all. I assume the Japanese version had a more reasonable joke in its place that wouldn't localize well, and that the localization team just wanted to replace a joke with a joke, but...that was just painful to sit through.

It must be seen to be believed.
