[@jacobmecrob5185]

I don't believe this is correct. To create synergy, we require more than a concept and a strategy. The enterprise value proposition defines the strategy for value creation through alignment, but it doesn't describe how to achieve it. The alignment strategy must be complemented with an alignment process. The alignment process, much like budgeting, should be part of the annual governance cycle. Whenever plans are changed at the enterprise or business unit level, executives likely need to realign the organization with the new direction. The alignment process, of necessity, should be cyclic and have a top-down bias. The targeted corporate synergies should be defined at the top and realized in the business units. Just as the CFO coordinates the budgeting process, a senior executive should coordinate the alignment process-a responsibility for the Office of Strategy Management (OSM). The annual planning process provides an architecture around which the alignment process can be executed. Following are the eight alignment checkpoints for corporate, business units, and support units of a typical multi-business organization to hit during the annual planning process. Enterprise value proposition: The corporate office defines strategic guidelines to shape strategies at lower levels of the organization. Board and shareholder alignment: The corporation's board of directors reviews, approves, and monitors the corporate strategy. Corporate office to corporate support unit: The corporate strategy is translated into those corporate policies that will be administered by corporate support units. Corporate office to business units: The corporate priorities are cascaded into business unit strategies. Business units to support units: The strategic priorities of the business units are incorporated in the strategies of the functional support units. Business units to customers: The priorities of the customer value proposition are communicated to targeted customers and reflected in specific customer feedback and measures. Business support units to suppliers and other external partners: The shared priorities for suppliers, outsourcers, and alliance partners are reflected in business unit strategies. Corporate support: The strategies of the local business support units reflect the priorities of the corporate support unit. Using these eight checkpoints as a point of reference, an organization can measure and manage the degree of alignment, and hence the synergy, being achieved across the enterprise. Organizations that master this process can create competitive advantages that are difficult to dislodge.

Well you can bully any student in the open world but it's like calling GTA a mass shooting game, yeah you can do it but there isn't any point and it's not what the story or missions of the game are about Tho Jimmy wasn't portrayed as a Bully or bullying people it wasn't an anti-bully game like so many people are saying, but it wasn't worth the controversy either and I really hope this isn't why Rockstar is so reluctant to release a sequel (it's probably cause GTA and RDR are much more popular tbh)

I highly doubt they have bad lives, or will ever have bad lives. I still don't know why they hated me so, so much. I don't understand why I was constantly shoved into oncoming traffic, hair yanked out in clumps, urinated on, stabbed, cleaning products sprayed into my eyes, had my clothes torn off and my exposed body pointed and laughed at for "being so ugly". And throughout it all, not one adult ever did anything to intervene. Never. I'd bet dollars to donuts those are the same people complaining about this video game. Hypocrites who refuse to do anything when it really matters, they just give lip service by being "outraged" at this because it's easy, whereas making an actual change requires much more effort on their part. And why bother with that, when a handy scapegoat will do? I have never played this game, but maybe I should.

I first played this game when I got it as a gift for my 10th birthday, my uncle knew I wanted to play gta but my mother refused to let me play, so he bought Bully as an age-appropriate alternative, and, from his words, an attempt to ready me for high school. One day a few months later, I came home from school and found the box missing; My mother had taken it away. I never found out why until about a year ago when I went home on leave. She found the disc while looking through her stuff, and told me she took it away because of the panties that show up on Jimmy's wall after the dating missions. Not the violence, not the alcohol abuse, not the bike-jacking, not the swearing, not anything except the panties on the wall.

@@-LastStand- Oof I always hated that as a kid. The general wisdom behind the zero tolerance rule is that even if you're being beaten, you are not allowed to retaliate. Instead what you should be doing is go tell the teacher immediately. That way you are innocent and your bully gets in trouble. Nobody ever thought about how petty and malicious bullies are. You go tell a teacher, you signal to the whole school that you're a bitch. There would be a whole group waiting for you outside school, ready to kick your ass. It was always smarter and easier to break the guy's nose and that's it. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten into trouble for simply defending myself.

IMO, It was good jimmy never joined a clique, it was part of the point. Jimmy was the kid that was, by the end, the kid who was friends* with all of them. But school cliques are kinda stupid, and Jimmy was too smart for that nonsense.

[@WastePlace]

Cult Mechanicus same. I always really looked up to Jimmy for that reason when I was little. That and the fact that he fights for what he’s passionate about. Rockstar really struck gold when they made him cuz as cartoonish as bully was at times, Jimmy felt like a real character

[@WebWebZero]

So, you say that I was like Jimmy back in high school?

[@rachelciel3330]

Yeah. He saw himself above such things and didn't care about anything and just wanted to be left alone. Which was impossible with Gary's presence and insanity. He's pretty clever for a kid his age. He DID stumble in chapter 5 because his ego grew with his power, it was still pretty realistic. He was fifteen and beaten up all the bosses, ofc a kid his age would feel damn proud of that. I love that the story is very simple.

[@name-cn4wv]

To an extent this isn’t true, SPOILERS FOR BULLY . . . . . . Jimmy had to stand up to every clique and then the non clique members (Gary, who had the all cliques on strings aside from a couple leaders and members) to bring peace and order to the school but you’re right when saying Jimmy would be better off without of clique we all know how Jimmy was feared after beating up the jocks but I’m not sure how any rival or victimised students would’ve reacted if Jimmy joined a powerhouse like the jocks or bullies, etc, etc

[@mdragarg]

Jimmy was a part of the 'bullies', ironically. Bullies is the oy clique that doesn't lose respect for him when every other group does. Also, every other group has 7 members, while bullies have only 6, finalising that Jimmy would be the last addition to it. The message was that Jimmy was fighting bullying by being a 'bully', as in by getting himself in the thick of it

The problem is, if you yourself never played video games in your life, this kind of narrative will most likely speak to you.

Gaming _does_ look scary to the unitiated. That's perhaps the tragic part of this never-ending conflict.

[@alig6616]

As a kid I didn’t have any media, so now, at 23 I’m playing this game and many more classics for the first time. I enjoy reading everyone’s stories of nostalgia and hope I too can look back on these first play throughs fondly. Thanks for making this video! Helps me fully grasp the story being told!

[@robertslawjr]

To be honest, This is one game that should get a remake.

[@тонкийчлен]

Yes

[@_gremlinboy]

I remember my cousin bought this solely due to the controversy and he was so pissed that it was so tame in reality. I clicked on the video because the memory's so strong, seeing that kid's face and the title really threw me for a loop.

[@_gremlinboy]

I wonder if he knew u could kiss a dude I'm sure he'd have loved that

[@jimmyeng663]

GVMER, I can't imagine you as a kid with a voice that deep. It's like you've always been a 45yr old History teacher.

[@marctherrien2181]

Glad to see GVMERS back. It had been long since the last video. I can’t get enough of your documentaries.

[@jacksonsmith2046]

Still Rockstar's most unique game to date!

[@Jazzadrin]

I’m happy to see you guys make a new post. It’s been quite a while so I was worried you guys might be calling it a day

[@leonarddeblock3279]

Almost makes me cry its 2020 and we are still talking about a sequel or a remaster. Us kids deserve a continuation of Jimmy as adults.

[@superbroly64DS]

Jimmy was already an adult

[@cbcnetwork5901]

Man I’m 16 and I’ve been playing bully ever since I was 13, I’ve always loved the game and I’m honest to god when I say this is actually my favorite rockstar game

[@arulkws]

society changed a lot from 2006, if bully 2 were to release, imagine what rockstar could do, teenage drama in 2020 is an interesting genre to explore

[@acepedro12]

>"Few games faithfully portray teen drama in high-school" >Shows Life is Tumblr

[@captainjax200]

I was looking for this comment because I knew someone would say it. Thank you.

[@igorfurastedanilevicz110]

IKR lol

[@eriiiin]

Rolled my eyes so far back I saw my brain when he said "collumbine simulator" ffs

[@zacharypreval3186]

When a T rated high school simulator is more controversial than any GTA title.

[@тонкийчлен]

I feel like it is but I still want a sequel or a remake , remastered or reboot

[@nikobellic8290]

Bully is one of rockstars masterpiece. I still play this game. I hope they make bully 2 the Continuation of Jimmy's story.

[@sbhack2077]

should continue with University student . That would be good.

[@gemmam1187]

Me and my sister play this every year as a sort of 'tradition' for Christmas. We play Halloween in October and play our way through to Christmas 😂 sting like a bee! Move like a.. a.. a bee!

[@Ennui_v1]

Loved Bully. The bike races and boxing matches were my cash cows, I was rolling in money from those. Though I couldn't figure out where the last rubber bands were, and I never got the rubber band ball :/

[@chad12345678]

Love how you guys Up Rez these old games in your videos really gives them new life!

[@7evive]

We need Bully 2. This game is a masterpiece

[@thegamersbermuda3688]

Amazing video man! Let’s hope we get a sequel!

[@Zess_Tea]

Bully was honestly such a great game, it literally was my childhood

[@keegan4854]

Bravo great video never knew Bully had this much controversy And the ending hit home for me

[@shaboidagoober1304]

Probably my favorite soundtrack to any video game. So nostalgic!

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

This is why context is always important, and should be included into any conversation about anything.

[@BARALover96]

As a gay kid who loved this game i apreaciated the gay romance option

[@тонкийчлен]

Well I mean it isn't gay if you're kissing the homies

[@droach5241]

I never played Bully, I thought it looked stupid. That was my young ignorant mind. Now I know any thing Rockstar makes is GOLD!

[@malcolmd.wilkerson6712]

I only take the lessons that are necessary to gain new Weapons. The true and only reason, THE GOAL, in this game that i am chasing is: Beating the kids&girls. I fight for equality, thats why. I can terminate my whole Dorm, beat up anyone out there without any aftermath, yet if i touch a girl or a kid or Prefect/Adult, 3-5 Prefect spawn out of nowhere and chasing me. So im even more passionate about beating them up, think about new and more harmful/destructive ways etc. and become a efficent Hunter in a way. Rise up my brothers, we aint taking those fighting lessons behind the Bus for nothing.

[@roisinsharp6885]

Can I just say how much I bloody love this channel!? It's actually so so good. I love gaming documentaries and these are so well edited and produced that it's amazing how they haven't amassed millions of subs yet. I have been recommending it to my friends because of how well put together these docs are. Just wanted to share my gratitude! Please don't stop releasing vids! :D

[@wastelandman198]

I wish Rockstar would release a Bully 2 this game was incredibly diverse. I was constantly in awe of the depth of the city once you left the school.

[@flippedoutkyrii]

Was just wondering where you were these last few months, great to see another short mini-documentary from you guys!

[@TheForbidden_1ne]

We DEFINITELY need a more mature bully game set on a college campus. Even with it being a more mature theme it can still be very tastefully done in a manner that condemns bullying (and hazing in this specific setting) and even targets university corruption, amongst other aspects of college life. Gamers are missing out on a lot of good storytelling because of weak ass crybabies having knee jerk reactions to the titles of video games.

[@LyllianaofMirrah]

I think Bully would work as TV shows just need to change the name to "The Bullworth Academy"

[@Trapshack]

still my favorite game of all time. i've played it consistently over the past 12 years. its so gooood. the sequel must be completed or my life may never be.

[@bri961]

Back when in elementary school i always play the game everytime i get the chance. Back when I don't have to worry about anything. I miss the good ol days

[@Mitchell4892]

I'd love them to tackle this again. Set it in the 80s (because that seems to be big right now) and give more agency. Add a downtown with an arcade, bowling alley, milkshake shack, record store plus loads of other activities. Social link feature that makes your cliche stronger in combat situations. Factions or gangs that have their pros and cons, more classes/some you can't do due to timetable overlaps etc. It would be so good if they really gave the budget and time to it too.

[@alifnovaldi5195]

So its a Rockstar Persona game?

[@Mitchell4892]

@@alifnovaldi5195 And I'd be fine with that tbh. Although, no turn-based lol

[@Super_Samicom]

I remember playing through the Scholarship Edition on the 360 during high school. Felt like I was the perfect age, like playing through a twisted Salinger novel. I had a couple hours every day before mom got home from work, and always relished the time spent in Bullworth. And that soundtrack! One of the best. Hoping for Bully 2 on PS5!

[@EJD339]

People need to stop reacting to things they don’t know about. So frustrating

[@badbabybear1]

People unfamiliar with the game were outraged at what they assumed it would be (glorifying school shooters and bullying) without realizing it's actually a tame look at adolescent sociology, in an almost quaint sense. Bully is actually the video game version of a John Hughes film. Also, this is just a really good and fun game.

[@fullweezy3553]

Shoot I was just wondering if you guys were ever going to upload again I was thinking this channel might be dead but yet here you are like a Phenix rising from the ashes

[@halo129830]

It takes awhile to make these videos research and such not Dead just busy

[@renaicirculation4143]

Let's appreciate the high quality videos these guys put out. Awesome job.

[@KingofKings351]

This doesn’t need a remastered it needs a remake like Destroy all humans.

[@alienpimp.]

Almost every time people who wont even play the game are the ones who most criticise it.

[@Dunkskins]

Instant like, Gvmers are criminally under rated, my favourite vids on youtube! Love the work.

[@Brunoki22]

11:59 Bully wouldn't influence violence in schools. It was already depicting it.

[@rileighwheeler7853]

I used to love watching my brother play Bully when we were kids. I'd sneak into his room and play it when he went to football practice. This game is so lovable and nostalgic, I'm gonna go dig through old discs in the basement now to find it lol.

[@eattheboard1684]

Is it, THIS hard to just pick up a game and actually PLAY it before judging? Is it really that difficult?

[@basedbattledroid3507]

Not directly related to bully; but growing up as a kid who had conduct disorder and came from an abusive home; Violent video games didn't make me more violent, they actually gave me the perfect outlet for my anger and stopped me from being so violent to people in real life.

[@Knowhere1]

The only controversy I remember about this game is when my Christian grandma stole it from me.

[@justgameplay644]

Thank you for another video I rewatch a lot of your content and think you guys are one of the best things goin for content on video games

[@thewhitewolf58]

Jack tompson just wanted attention by being a false warrior

[@nicoalvarezp2]

One helluva of a comeback!! Thanks Gvmers!!

[@zachary5412]

I love this game with all my heart and have beat it so many times. I played it on LSD for my first time the other night and what a great experience. Especially going towards the Halloween mission.

[@MrNewVegas101]

Your back !!! Thank you !!! ❤️🙏

[@liftedlegend710]

I wish i could play this game for the first time again probably my favorite rockstar game i almost forgot how bomb ass the soundtrack to this and gta 5 was

[@eggsandchips91]

Great to have you back GVMERS

[@MrThedowd]

How about a “rise and fall of heroes of might and magic”? 😊

[@Svabby]

Can't wait till this channel hits 1mil!!

[@HowDoIMakeAUsername]

Imagine protesting video games instead of things that actually matter
