{H} Worst Line in a B-Game
The purpose of this thread is to attempt to determine the worst line in a B-game. And then to mock it.
My nomination is from "Figures of Happiness".
Minamo
"I'm so jealous! I want to get diarrhea with Satoru too... Yeah, next time, I'll bring laxatives, and we can swallow them at the same time!"
So, can anyone think of a worse line than this?

That's an actual line from an actual game AND it's supposed to be ren'ai ?
Wow.
I could understand if it's supposed to be a comedy or one of those parody flash ren'ai , but otherwise...eww. Actually , still...eww.
What were they thinking?
Oh , right , they probably weren't thinking.
================================================
( whoa that's weird
....I thought I had almost pushed post
when I first worked on the above message
and then changed my mind
so it should've been sent by PM instead.
Apparently I messed up somewhere and now I'm wondering if I ending up with both a public post and a PM of the same message
*sighs* oh , well. *laughs* )

Let me put in some words in defense of Figures of Happiness. It's one of the best, most story-oriented, games that has been commercially translated into English. It's a clean game with a very interesting premise, which it plays for both comedy and drama.
To put the quote in perspective, I need to discuss the scene it is associated with. Narumi is playing the POV character's girlfriend, and claims that they are so close, that they get sick at the same time. Minamo (who isn't the brightest) decides that she can do her one better, and gives the line above.
IIRC, the characters quickly realize that it's a bad idea. So it's not depicted in any way. So you don't need to worry about FoH being into a game featuring bodily functions.

From "Snow Drop", which has a very sweet plot, comes the following possible decision:
"Make love to her because Shizuka is within Kyoka."
...it's not what it sounds like, but it's a really weird thought anyway.

At the thirty minute mark, Figures is pretty good. It isn't -compelling- yet, but it's not bad. (Trying to avoid spoilers.)
The translated Majipuri demo has any number of off the wall lines. Trying to remember, I looked at Insani.org and found this one in a screenshot: "You saw it, you saw it, you saw it, YOU SAW IT, DIDN'T YOU?!"

Girl - "Then I shall make you brekfast!"
This is from an hentai RPG/Bishoujo game called Mad Paradox translated into english in 1983. In this scene the player greets the girl with this line outside followed by a scene of domestic bliss and then the game ends.
The mind boggles.

Just curious, did the game contain those spelling errors? I'm glad to see that most imported games have a lot better translation than they used to... "All your base are belong to us" sound familiar to anyone?TheOnlyOneKunobi wrote:Player - "But there's a door to the living room all ready?"

I assume there are no worse b-game lines to mock... yet.
straight from Zero Wing. worst. translation. job. ever. I could possibly do a better job than that. (and I lack all JP comprehension!)"How are you gentleman!"
"You have no chance to survive make your time"
"All your base are belong to us"
