We Need More Games Like Bully

[@theguy318atyomom]

I think a good way to expand on bully is setting it in a college. You get more content with no issue while also avoiding guns.

[@renaldygunawan8882]

This! i mean as freshman on college the gameplay would be like familiar like you can choose frats to go on, class pranks etc

[@Cytorak54]

i hope you can customize your own character too and have different choices while getting different results or sequences.

[@ShadowMan64572]

Idk wouldn't have that same charm. University and college is more like adult life experiences with grown adults who act like grown adults, childhood to high school is a different vibe.

[@zacquinn]

Bully is easily one of my all time favorite games. I actually had the honour of interviewing the voice actor of Jimmy Hopkins, jerry Rosenthal. For my own video on Bully. Great work man

[@z5am769]

[@jake8915]

yoo thats insane, i went thgrough you channel and found out we have very similar intrests hh, you deserve so much more subs

[@dominiqueodom3099]

My dream Sequel to Bully would be to age it up to being a College Campus in the 80s. You would have all of iconic symbols of that era to choose. The Jocks/nerds/cheerleaders and Outcasts,the big Football Game,the Halloween Pranks,the Romantic Interests,throwing the biggest parties,the Hot teacher or the Mean Principal,the Big Bully you fight,the Different Cliques and Factions,the Gossip and Drama, and finally the big End of the year Dance where every plot point and action you took leads up to this moment.

[@greybigfoot1722]

One reason that I love the Yakuza series so much is because it reminds me of childhood memories playing Bully. The emphasis on hand-to-hand, the small but lively map, the humor, and the plethora of minigames. Bully is the closest Western example I can think of to RGG’s games.

[@wuebboltc]

This actually reminds me a lot of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor -- which just so happens to be (A) one of MY favourite games, and (B) is something I've been replaying recently. It's an open-world game, but it adds a unique twist: the sub-bosses you fight are all unique, meaning that not only do they all have different names, but they also require different methods to kill. In addition, the standard enemies you fight can become bosses simply by killing you, and every time you die, the bosses get stronger. A shame that WB patented the game's system....

[@37Kilo2]

Yea, I loved the Nemesis system. I got addicted to hunting down every enemy in the list. That game, as a whole, was really great.

[@sneslive1556]

Hated school growing up but school settings in games do work well. Part of why I'm curious to play Hogwarts.

[@WastePlace]

Yeah, I loved how they made classes into mini games. Hoping hogwarts does something similar if they include day to day school life as a part of the story/gameplay

[@christiankallio8586]

As much as I would love a sequel to Bully or another game like Bully, I wouldn't hold my breath for either. The direction games as a whole are going doesn't look good. Prime exmples are The Last of Us Part 1 and Saints Row 2022.

[@m00k61]

What's wrong with the new Saints Row? I love everything up to and including Gat Out of Hell.

[@fiendishdevil808]

@@m00k61 there's a remaster that very recently came out that's a disastrous buggy mess. Gman has a good video about it.

[@Clowtser]

@@m00k61 so you are agreeing since, ya know Saints Row 2022 is after Gat out of hell

[@WastePlace]

@@m00k61 haven’t seen any gameplay yet? It’s just a disappointment of a release, graphics/gameplay from last gen consoles with barely anything added in and it was pretty glitchy when it came out. Also the story doesn’t have anything to do with the rest of the games and doesn’t improve in that area at all either. Just kinda a sad turnout for a franchise that use to be really fun

[@MyMomSaysImKeen]

If they redid Bully I'd hope they opt for a new protagonist. Perhaps a more diverse choice, although anything besides a cis, hetero-normative, mon-polygendered white male would suffice.

[@m00k61]

Love this game. Still have it on Steam and once winter comes around video games become a huge part of my hibernation lol.

[@elharvey5032]

After watching the video I had just realized that Sucker Punch is one of the few developers that doesn't use guns in their games as the main weapon of choice

[@EmoDKTsuchiya]

Man i can see why nostalgia is the most addictive drug these days. Looking at the current landscape of pretty much anything these days makes it feel like they're driving us this way on purpose.

[@elharvey5032]

Yeah nostalgia really hits hard for

For me is actually i want more of jimmy i want a continuation of his story and in the same setting and time era

[@trinidad17]

"But it promotes bullying" said the stupid people everywhere, not joking it has been banned in many places because of that excuse. Because of course we need protection from unauthorized ideas.

[@TBP]

Naturally by people who have never played it.

[@trinidad17]

And just to be clear, the game does feature it but doesn't promote it. What's worrying is that some law makers seem to read only the "headlines"... not that unexpected, when you think about it.

[@christiankallio8586]

Yes despite the name the game is more about anti-bullying since Jimmy is always trying to take down the actual jerks of the school and bring peace in an anti-hero manner

[@MA-go7ee]

I *love* insightful videos like this. It isn't a boring straight review where you just recount the plot of the game like so many videos. And I've said the same about Billy for YEARS. The specificity of its settings and how the game mechanics are filtered through it is just a joy. I cannot believe we've still not had a proper sandbox set in a suburban neighborhood where you play as a teen doing teen shit. It's a similar idea to school setting. BTW the part about how the weapons are changed to suit the more juvenile setting made me think of the Kids Next Door cartoon.

[@RICKEYDD]

2008 lookin like a snack lol

[@gracemills4088]

might seem like an odd suggestion but look into the yakuza series, might find some of that "thug life; bashing skulls in car doors wont kill them" fun

[@maxleon61702]

If we got a Rival Schools spin-off that is an Open-World one, then we can get a Bully 2 of sorts, except from Capcom. Fun fact: Capcom and Rockstar Games did have a symbiotic relationship with each other for years.

[@neiloconnor7776]

We won’t have games like bully anymore because people would say it’s “problematic”

[@Cytorak54]

true, people these days are too sensitive. i can't even see it's problematic is an excuse anymore because they are planning to make on Gta VI so i guess it's more on popularity basis.

[@GrifterTheBoyIdiot]

Your right. But I don't think it's about sensitivity I just think it's about Rockstar fans just knowing GTA as the only title they've made. So that's all they'll want.

[@Adrian-hj7ih]

Bully was a unforgetable experience for me, one of my favorite games of all time! It's probably easy for me to say this because I have the same age as Jimmy so the game is way more relatable for me lol

[@Starwarsdude8221991]

I really wish the kept this franchise

[@elharvey5032]

Bro same, I'm really disappointed that Rockstar never went back to this franchise and just stuck with GTA mostly

[@colmduggan8230]

One of my personal favourite games of all time i can still remember the first time i played it exploring the school and town that changed depending on the season such a great game

[@bluedul904]

A game that I dream of is a combination between this game and a survival horror called Obscure. It would be like a bully but more simple on some mechanics and missions. Toward a week, you go revealing a mystery about students disappearing from the school. That would follow to introduce monsters in the night. You would have real guns and maybe homemade weapons, but you would use them only on monsters at night. Someone opinion?

[@SecretMagician]

Bully fused with Scooby-Doo and Gravity Falls? Sounds nice.

16 years and 3 console generations later and we never got a remaster, remake or sequel

[@everettsims1928]

The Anniversary Edition on mobile is pretty good, and some of the new textures they use give the game a fresh new look, you can even play it on your TV if u own a chromecast add an Xbox One Controller then your set 👍

[@armorbearer9702]

We could use games that have an intricate melee system. There are so many different martial styles that would look great in sandbox games.

[@Prestiginii]

FRRRRR

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

At an unexpected time when I had first tried Bully the game back then I didn't think it'd mean much or be like the Grand Theft Auto games I had played over the years even though it was made by the same people. After playing Bully in it's entirety I realized that yeah it's one of those games made by the same people but it was a very special game.

[@rafaelbrites3607]

in brazil, this game was forbidden because they font tha it incentive violence. Only yeras later that it came the remasterd edition that the game came to brazil.

[@beefgravystudios]

One of my favorite games ever to this day. I remember before it came out news outlets were trying to call it a Columbine simulator. I'm so glad that people didn't listen and played it for themselves.

[@vaultboya6253]

I do agree on the uniqueness of bully. But the reputation system is static so it goes up and down in one specific way. Also I love the fighting. Getting all the fighting moves makes Jimmy op af. He can literally beat up adults if you get them all. Plus the art health bonus is super useful to.

[@MrCalac1231]

I don't trust Rockstar to write a good sequel to bully. We all know how they'd "modernize" it, which is to appeal to Twitter and not have any kind of nuance in the writing. I can easily, EFFORTLESSLY see it being a game more focused on preaching at the player than actually focusing on being fun.

[@0valeyes]

That would Nintendo try after their recent Direct.

[@kanter6662]

For some reason I prefer games with small changing world. Having the huge worlds where everything feels same just doesn't cut the attachment to your "hometown", especially if it has unique atmosphere. Many JRPGs achieve it, unfortunately AAA games don't follow the suit. Ps.: If you want to try another open world game that does something unique, try Gravity Rush. Second game is not so great but I fell in love with the first game.

[@Dread_Cast]

You can’t just boil games down into your 4 categories. although the gaming market today is oversaturated to a high degree, which I believe has a lot to do with how hard it is to find unique games bc there’s 25x the amount of games that come out at a rapid pace, especially indie games, then even 8 years ago. But, at the same time there are more unique games out there today then there ever was before, you just have to look for them. Seems to me you’re sort of pigeon holed to games of specific genres that you like in particular, so yes maybe the sandbox genre might have tons of samey games but there’s plenty of unique ones that shine way past games u are pointing out like RDR2. With the budget Rockstar has and the already great IP of RDR they better have made a good game, there was no excuse not to, and yet besides it’s great story, epic cinematics and scale etc. a lot of RDR2 is extremely repetitive such as the incredibly annoying filler content like discovering 50 dinosaur bones around the map and a bunch of side quests exactly like that lol, and the actual combat which is so basic for a game of it’s stature… You need to try some different games besides Rockstar and Zelda lol, like Ghost of Tsushima for instance is a great example of taking the sandbox formula and really making it very unique in almost every way, to me making it one of the best open world games in the last 10 years, better than RDR2 in many ways and yet most ppl don’t realize this… In terms of other genres, seems as though you never played many puzzle games or survival horror, and yes many are being remade these days as we look to be heading to a big resurgence of the survival horror genre, but many of these remakes like Resident Evil 2 and 3 (RE1 being my favorite game ever created) didn’t just remake the game copy/paste, they rebuilt them for modern times and RE2 remake is a modern classic bc of it… There’s plenty of other examples of high quality unique games and unique genres out there, especially on PC, you just need to look for them and maybe try out some different genres of games that u didn’t or don’t particularly like, maybe you’ll enjoy some of them now.
