is it based?
yes
no
>>11390642It’s kino
maybe
>>11390642No, it's bassed. And that's based.
>>11390642you can butt finger little girls in this game so yeah it's based
>>11390642all time classic. either play on ps2 or wii, no other version including the ps4 re-release are worth touching.
>>11390885just wanted to add onto this because I have bully autism. I didn't recommend the PC port because it can be very inconsistent on modern hardware even with the silent patch. It is a dice roll so typically I recommend a first time playthrough on more consistent hardware.
>>11390885>>11390893I still don't understand what the issue with scholarship edition is. I never actually played it since my PS2 copy worked fine but did they do something to completely fuck the game up or something?
>>11390893It is a crashfest on pc, and since it didn't have autosave, you lose progress.Had a friend playthrough it recently and he gave up because of the crashing and the last straw was crashing after he forgot to save after around 90 minutes.Fun game though.
>>11391037it is fine on wii but its poorly optimized on xbox and PC. what is worse is that the poor optimization is even worse on modern xbox hardware. on 360 the game ran at about 25fps, on xbox one and beyond it runs at about 20. It crashes often.
>>11390642best rockstar game
based on school
Is there still no way to play the Wii version without waggle controls?>>11390885The ps4 "re-release" is literally the emulated PS2 version, dumbass.>>11391037SE adds useless padding, but it does fix the audio quality, draw distance and load times.>>11391053Your "friend" didn't patch properly.
>>11390642I DON'T KNOW YOU!
>>11390642>>11390663Bully is one of the greatest, most kino video game stories of all time.It's a shame Gary doesn't have more screentime after the turn.
>>11391295Just waggle, bro.Or play on PS2, also works without all the new classes.
>>11391295>The ps4 "re-release" is literally the emulated PS2 version, dumbassyes and it is very poorly done, even worse on ps5 for some reason where there is a full-second input delay that makes the game unplayable. fans agree it is the worst way to play the game
>>11391065What? Scholarship Edition is great. Much smoother than the original. I've played it on every xbox since it came out.
The atmosphere for this is kinda unmatched stillIt's a stupid game to me now, but at the time it was a lot fun back then
A college sequel would be great Not sure they could pull it off though
Based on what? It's about a bully at a private school summer campt thing
>>11391664Works on my machine (PS4 Pro)Too bad Sony keeps dropping the ball with the PieceofShit5
>>11391518Gary's arc made perfect sense. He had a presence and a future as Jimmy's friend.But he tore all that down because he decided he was better than Jimmy. So he gets beat up, left aside in the gutter, and put in a mental ward for being such a stupid fuck-up of society that he would just backstab a friend for nothing at all.Forgotten is where he belongs.
>>11392889your intepretation is low iq desu and misses the best points
>>11393056My take is simply humanitarian. Gary self destructed because of his evil tendencies. He's a nobody afterward.
>>11392132I would rather have female Bully than college Bully James or no Jamescollege misses the point in a way even a female protagonist wouldn'talthough I feel the opposite about Fooly Cooly
>>11393061Gary never self-destructed. He was triumphant over everyone and explicitly only taken down by Jimmy (who unrelatedly was also the lynchpin to his success).You also seem to clearly not understand psychopathy and the Dark Tetrad as a whole.
>>11390642the real bully is people still talking about shitty rockstar games t. doesn't even like gta except gta1 which wasn't by rockstar
I used to get hard by kissing the girls and pinching their butts.
>>11393069Everyone hated him. His claim to power was built on a foundation of lies and couldn't last, which it did not. He should have been smart enough to keep using Jimmy as an enforcer but his ego destroyed him.
>>11393685>Everyone hated himthat isn't truesome people feared him, and others didn't even know who he wasif he had any kind of reputation then the headmaster would have known of ithe laid low until an opportunity arose>He should have been smart enough to keep using Jimmyit had nothing to do with intelligence
>>11390642Based on a true story, yes.
>>11392549You have a different worldview from normal people. Normal people believe in objective morality. We believe that wokeness is objectively immoral.You (being a weirdo) believe in relative morality. You have no way to say that anything is immoral except to point out inconsistencies within people. That's what you're doing right now. You are saying that we are being inconsistent by acting exactly as the woke left does, forgetting that we believe we are objectively correct. TLDR: you have a stupid world view and you should find God. 100% chance you're an atheist.
>>11393708>reddit spacingway to out yourself fagit
Fun game, but tragically short.
>>11390885ps2 has the best atmosphere and in bully the atmosphere is really damn good>>11391037iirc the ports are really shoddy remakes of the game with the original being good ol Renderware and the ports being Gamebryo (really)
>>11393069>Dark TetradI don't think I have that Grottos and Gremlins card.
>>11392884Its still crazy that Sony can't even properly emulate their older consoles anymore when they used to have plenty of people that could during the PS3 - PS Vita era. They have all the documentation in theory, and yet some autists on the internet can still do a better job.
I liked the atmosphere but the controls felt really weird, like there was always input lag or like they were too sensitive. Maybe it's because I played the ports though? I get why people like it and I wish I'd played it when it came out, it felt dated to me in a way I couldn't get over. Maybe one day we will get a remake.
>>11390893while it worked pretty well on my machine I just ended up playing it emulated on PS2
its ight
>>11390642Most fun game next to liberty city stores, rdr and gta iv
>>11393708I hate that all you LARPing tradcath schizos have made it so much less fun being racist
>>11392884compare it directly to playing on ps2 and you will see what I mean. I often hear about people thinking the game feels stiff and every time I find out they are playing it on ps4 or 5. I promise you this isnt some elitist purist shit, I am advocating for playing the wii version ffs, it just is not the best way to play the game.

Bully should be studied as peak of what makes a video game fun. Bully takes every element unique to video games and merges them into one cohesive experience that actually utilizes the simulation aspects of games to make it greater than a simple action game or racer or platformer.>Platforming/ Racing - the joy of a 3D platformer or a Driving game is in just moving around. While Jimmy doesn't do tons of jumping, the core ideal of "Make it fun to move around" is key to every aspect of Bully. Whether it's climbing buildings, skating, biking, or sprinting around, movement itself is a core gameplay component (an element often forgotten in modern games). This makes the world into a playground. And it feeds into the ticking clock, the faster you get from A to B the more time in the day.>Combat - simple to pick up, difficult to master beat em' up combat augmented with tons of learnable throws, combos, moves, and then further amplified with gadgets and prank items that also have systemic impact on the NPCs (like enraging certain cliques.>Story - every single NPC is a named, unique character with their own traits, on top of that the world is filled with larger than life characters that you hate, love, or laugh at, adding meaning and story context to every action.>Simulation - the world is totally alive, time is ticking away and you must choose to go to classes (mini games) which almost function like an RPG where you can upgrade fighting, health, get new gadgets, etc., do side missions, or mess around with the world which all impacts your status with the various social cliques. Seasons change and the world reacts, every NPC is unique and can be bullied or seduced or befriended.All of these elements feed back into eachother making the game a virtuous cycle where every moment is fun and rewarding. Moving, talking, fighting, doing classes, socializing... everything is interactive and every single thing you do in the game gives a reward. It's a masterpiece.
>>11393697yeah, and his opportunity amounted to getting beat up and locked up. that's why gary is a loser
>>11394859lol this is hilarious
>>11394859>that channelwell that's a time sinkhole for me
It's weird that no one points out that it's pretty much a Kunio-kun/RCR game in 3D.
>>11396426I don't think RCR populates the western zeitgeist much beyond old flash cartoons on Newgrounds.Meanwhile, Bully was well, Bully. Another contemporarily controversial game made by Rockstar, and it was good to boot, so it got a cult following.That is a neat observation, though. But I never played RCR.
>>11396441The very first arcade game even had a premise similar to Bully. You're some hot-headed asshole kid who stands up for his friend that gets bullied by various gangs. I don't doubt that Rockstar looked at it for inspiration. Bully obviously does a lot more.
>>11396450Rockstar almost certainly had RCR as one of their various inspirations.
>>11390885What about 360?
