If I have to live in a decade where they turn Jimmy into some “woke” kid, I’m just convinced that there’s no such thing as fun anymore.

Jimmy is the perfect guy I’d love to see slap the crap out of some real deserving bitches, SJ/Tumblrina snowflakes, troons and aspie special snowflakes. A game like that would be friggin awesome. Too bad it’d literally take the sun exploding for taht to happen cause Rockstar don’t want people to have fun anymore swallowing money with lazy af ports.

The carnival was pretty fun. It captured the spirit of being at a carnival at least. The mission where you go into the funhouse was pretty enjoyable.

Just imagine, you get home with your copy of Bully 2. You excitedly unwrap the shrink wrap and are disappointed that it's modern day and instruction manuals no longer exist. Oh well, you say, as you put it into your console. You excitedly wait as the game installs, reflecting back on the past 16 years between Bully games. It finally installs, and you're greeted to a game based entirely around getting likes on Lifeinvader, a cast of dangerhaired LGBTQ minority warriors that puts Saints Row reboot to shame, and every NPC is constantly saying garbage zoomer language. Everything seems to be "sus", all of the statements are "no cap", and all of the best things in the game are apparently "bussin". Whenever you complete an objective, your character does a dab and record yourself doing some tik tok dance from 3 years ago.

You throw your monkeys paw into the trash, once again being fooled by it's promises of wish fulfillment. Later on you read online about how Bully Online has broke new records, and you hear a younger relative complain about how he needs to buy some Lifeinvader Likes to buy the newest dance emote.

it's frightening that this could very well happen; for some reason the neon-haired game developers that have flooded the scene are obsessed with school themes for games, often basing their 20 minute "masterpiece" visual novels in them.
i loved the original bully back in the day and i had spent unfathomable hours on it with my second hand PS2, but if a sequel does turn out to be a super woke, race focused, zoomer speak mess, i won't even fuckin pirate it.

I was just thinking....guy who played Jimmy I think is a DJ now?

 

[Autistsforuganda2]

I would be all for it. It does not even need to be good, but i would love the reeeeing from journoscum.

 

[TVB]

Now I know this new sequel won't be good and the only people who would be positive are dumbass journos. That said, if the sequel had came out between 2009-13, it would've been good. Sadly, this is not the reality we live in. Plus, this is Take-Two we're talking about and for the past few years, they could've even give a piss about anything anymore. I should be more excited about the next video game crash if anything else.

The Warriors 2, but the Hi Hats troon out and punching them is an instant mission fail.

 

[TrippinKahlua]

The protagonist better not be some obese wimp who only cares about chocolate and pizza.

 

[Coolio55]

The protagonist better not be some obese wimp who only cares about chocolate and pizza.

That could actually be funny though. Imagine playing as some fat autistic fuck who's constantly getting himself into trouble.
You'd have to walk a fine line between funny and irritating but if it was written well it could really work.

 

[Here Comes Mongo]

The Warriors 2, but the Hi Hats troon out and punching them is an instant mission fail.

The Warriors was probably the last great co-op game I've played. I almost forgot how much fun I had with that game.

Back to Bully, I actually bought it on Steam not too long ago and while it's still as great as I remember, I had to stop playing it because it would crash constantly, without warning.

 

[The tired cat]

Fuck. Manhunt is truly a dead franchise at this point.

I mean, implying it was ever an alive franchise. Neither of the two games have anything incommen, save for the name, and really after the 2nd game getting a ton of controversy, having needed to be worked and still not being avaible even on steam, why bother making a 3rs game?

 

[Dom Cruise]

It's funny to look back on the climate surrounding the game when it first released, it just so warped Jacko Whacko's mind to imagine the "Makers of GRAND THEFT AUTO are making a KID'S GAME!" that he was simply convinced it had to be some Columbine simulator where you could murder your teachers and classmates.

Dude was such a complete fucking idiot on every level, but then people like Anita just continued on the legacy.

Bully was in a deliberately vague time period but I'd overtly set the sequel in the early-mid 2000's and try to channel Napoleon Dynamite, Donnie Darko (Which are ironically both works trying to channel the 80's but small isolated towns have weird temporal effects) and a bunch of strange games of that period set in contemporary locations like Blue Stinger, ILLBLEED or Dead Rising.
Maybe some more urban locations could channel Mega Man: Battle Network, Drill Dozer and Persona 3?

This is a great fucking idea, Napoleon Dynamite was meant to be set in 2004 but it was a small town that was in many ways stuck stuck in the 1980s.

However setting it in the actual 1980s would give the developers plenty of stuff to work with, you could go to the local arcade and play actual games evoking 80s arcade games, you could play D&D and it could cut to a minigame where you're actually in a fantasy world, explore the town to find cassette tapes that you can listen to on your boombox in treehouse hideout and there could be a big Goonies style treasure to find.

Now I know this new sequel won't be good and the only people who would be positive are dumbass journos. That said, if the sequel had came out between 2009-13, it would've been good. Sadly, this is not the reality we live in. Plus, this is Take-Two we're talking about and for the past few years, they could've even give a piss about anything anymore. I should be more excited about the next video game crash if anything else.

A Bully 2 should have happened around 2015, between GTAV and RDRII to tide people over, it's crazy that several years went by with no new Rockstar game and Rockstar should have had the foresight to have something in between and a Bully 2 could still very much have been a good game had it come out in 2015.

 

[THEY STOLE MY FORESKIN]

I am fully prepared for the trailer to come and it being an absolute woke shitfest, but I still have a tiny sliver of hope that it's good. Not excellent, but good, and hopefully not so woke it destroys the game. What can I say, Bully has a special place in my heart.

Bully went for a "timeless approach," although it's obvious there was inspiration with the 70-80s. I mean, Greasers? New England? Boarding school?

It worked.

You really nailed it. I always interpreted the setting as being in 2006, when the game came out, but given the absence of contemporary technology like computers and cell phones it really lends itself to being timeless, as you put it. I also always found it weird that the students are all from different periods. The greasers are straight out of the 70s, the preppies are from the 80s, the jocks and nerds are based on 90s stereotypes, etc. But, again, as you said, it worked. You don't question it.

Shit, and just as SWEGTA became homeless too.

I dunno. I've been hearing rumors about Bully 2 before I even heard rumors of RDR2 so I'll believe it when I see it. It doesn't seem like a game that could be done in the modern age, much less monitized well.

Didn't he brick a Wii devkit that contained an early version of Bully's port for that console? A fan sent two of them to him and he managed to destroy something that's pretty rare. Absolute genius.

As for myself, my favorite Bully theme is when you're fighting nerds. It's very nostalgic for me and it's so catchy.

Favorite activity is pretending to be a normal, responsible student and fighting nerds and jocks. My least favorite (if you can count that) is going to sleep after curfew.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

Never gonna live up to the original and is fucked in the same way as current year Saints Row.

Fighting the generic non-clique students had some of the funniest music.

 

[Maurice Caine]

I simply do not believe that a Bully 2 is in the works. Every year some wiseguy 'leaker' says that 'Oh, R* was going to announce something at TGA but for some reason they didn't!' Come on, wise up. This shit ain't happening.

Yeah, I'm kind of sick of Tom Henderson being declared some be all end all source when he gets shit wrong all the fucking time.

IIRC he was completely fucking wrong about Warzones map last year, and literally tried to play it off as "they completely changed their mind and my insider didn't find out until the actual trailer leak came out!"

Who the hell's even this guy either?

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

Can I also bring up how tense the after dark (post-curfew) hours are? Regardless of the police or the prefects, it felt like something was going to go horribly wrong, if falling asleep in the middle of the road wasn't enough.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

i watched a few hours playthrough of the game and i have forgotten the "feel" of this. its humor is very early 2000s with making fun of someone's looks, insecurities, them maybe being a homosexual, making fun of nerds/geeks, (remember when comics, anime and even video games were considered beneath something a normal person would interact with?) beating them up and shoving them inside lockers. even using words such as retard and inbreed to insult someone and making fun of mental illness. of course, a zoomer would call the game mean spirited, homophonic, and most of all, toxic masculinity as a way to describe it without seeing the humor or irony of it all. Jimmy pulling up from the bottom of the totem poll should be an inspiration to kids getting bullied to fight back and not be a victim relaying on adults that are more than happy to stab you in the back for their benefit.

a bully game in current year would miss the point enterally, being all serious in tone and be about opposed minorities (trans, person of cooler, LGBTQ ETC) going against the right-wing/christen school system that oppress them and hurting their feelings, being in zoomer speak that will be outdated with memes and tiktok.

overall, a game like bully cant be made right now or atleast, not by mainstream because its a touchy subject and the devs would not have it in them making a game about being a bully or bullying of fear their game will somehow create bullies.

oh, and Rockstar would rape it with online features and microtransactions.

fun fact, you can get jimmy to kiss guys on the lips. i thought that was fake but even back than, Rockstar were progressive as fuck.
