Bully - by Rockstar Games

[GhostofAnakin]

Gamespot preview.

 

Anyone know anything else about this game? Knowing RockStar and reading the preview description, this could actually be quite funny.

[Calax]

The game is your the biggest bully in school but this is your last school you can go to. You've been kicked way too much. Basically your teachers will have you do "chores" for them so you can get good grades. You give swirly's and wet willies to the geeks and absolutly demolish people in dodge ball.

For the full preview, Game Informer from last month should you have.

Peaceoholics hold stupid protest, no one ends up caring except greedy lawyers and Anti-Bully Groups.

 

[EnderAndrew]

Rockstar has a good sense of humor. And yet I haven't loved any Rockstar game nearly as much as I love GTA.

[Morgoth]

Very tactful... After the Hot Coffee controvery, they're just announcing a Bully game. How is that supposed to make their reputation more admired by the furiously government, lawyers and other peacoholics?

 

I personally could never stand any of the Rockstar games, so if they get screwed... so be it.

[alanschu]

At the same time it tells people like Jack Thompson to go f*ck themselves.

 

To do otherwise could be considered a "win" for the assmunches.

[EnderAndrew]

Rockstar has their niche.

 

Last time I checked we were supposed to have freedom of expression here.

[Child of Flame]

I respect Rockstar more than almost any developer. If only because they constantly fight with the lawmen about what should and shouldn't be allowed in Video Games (no rated M game comes even close to the content in a Rated R movie, yet the age of admission is the same. ) rather than just padering to their every whim.

Except the games have another Informal game rating "not to be sold in stores" like Postal 2, and the uncensored version of Leisure suit larry.

[Musopticon?]

Any reputation is good reputation.

I think Rockstar is one of the most talented development houses out there. They seem to be able to do exactly what they want and get both critics and players on their side with their sick humour and excellent games. I find it sad that they feel they have to be the "bad boys" of computer games all the time. It's like they don't realize that the fun in their games does not stem from the excessive violence or the drug references.

 

And why do I always get so worked up over the fact that when GTA: San Andreas was just one of the most sadistic and violent games out there, noone cared. When one player-made mod turned up to unlock cut-out content in the game, the whole world falls apart and the game is no longer suitable for kids? The stupidity is staggering. Hypocrisy at its finest.

It pisses me off because I was holding off on buying San Andreas until the price dropped due to a somewhat thin wallet. Now it's pulled from shelves, which means when it comes back, it will likely be at full price again, and I'll have to start the wait all over again.

He who hesitates, is lost, Eru.

 

Personally, I loved Rockstar's GTA:VC...at first, but it got old after about a week. There's only so many hookers you can beat to death before it loses its novelty.

 

Bless them, if only for being marvelously edgy.

 

And wouldn't these "Peacoholics" better spend their resources on something actually worth the time? Gun control, drugs, war, something having a bit more to do with peace?

[Child of Flame]

No! Everyone knows these murder-simulators prepare their users for a life of crime and wanton destruction! What better thing for the Peaceaholics to protest?

 

It's for the children Lonely Wolf Hexadecimal.

You should check Ebay. There has to be plenty of people selling their copies all the time. Unless you don't like second hand games?

Not unless I can hold the discs in my hand and check them for scratches, or I'm buying from someplace like Amazon that has a guarantee. I've checked Amazon, they've pulled all their copies. I've gotten burned one too many times buying disc based media off of Ebay.

That part cracked me up, and I still don't know why :D

 

Murder simulators my lonely wolf ass, ever fire a 12 Gauge, stockless shotgun? My entire upper body went numb after the first two shots. My god, the recoil was hell...oh...wait...you were kidding.

We have a 12 Gauge with a six shell pump hanging on our wall...

 

The pump is blocked by California State Law though.

 

And if your shoulder took as much damage as you describe, you likely didn't have a snug enough fit between the butt of the gun and said shoulder, you're lucky you didn't break your collar bone.

[LoneWolf16]

I had supervision...and numb was an overstatement. Look, I'm a thin, small framed guy, damn thing almost took my arm off.

 

Really doubt I could fire more than a shot or two in succession.

The last time I ordered off Ebay I got screwed. Somehow I got stuck with an extra "customs charge", despite the fact the selling price was supposed to include ALL shipping charges. It's the one and only time I've got screwed with a "customs charge", but it's made me weary about ever using Ebay again.

You obviously haven't played murder simulators that features stockless 12-guage shotguns.

[Jast]

Rockstar's game mechanics are great, but really, do they have to have all the extra violence, drugs, and cursing? :ph34r:

[Drakron]

I read about, I admit it peek my interrest and I will follow it a bit to check how gameplay is ... if it lacks the mini game syndrome I think that I will pick it up.
