The thing about Bully is that everyone was a bully in Bullworth: jocks, nerds, posh kids, teachers, adults, everyone was bullying each other throughout the whole game.
@@OakkarMg210 What I meant is that the media made is look like YOU are the bully, in the game, which is quite the opposite. Jimmy is just a kid getting by.
Do you think adults have the time spare to play every game their kids own? They have to make decisions about their kids education with the minimal information possible (what's shown) and still get it right.
Yeah ok dude lets not pretend like the parents are just dumb, ignorant and wrong in this case. The game has you complete tons of quests where the sole mission is to bully nerds lmfao.
A fact that I know is he didn’t do the mocap because there was a different actor before him. His voice can still be heard slightly if you look harder into the audio files
My favorite thing about the game is Jimmy himself, he's willing to stand up for the little guys but is still not beyond being an ass sometimes. I also love how straightforward he is about kicking everyone's ass. Any faction: "What're you gonna do, fight me?" Jimmy: "Yes"
@@friendlyhere7042 Really? Didn't know that, we don't really have karen's here in germany. Maybe a handful but encountering one in real life is VERY unlikely😁
@@andylaw3222 oh come on dude it's the country that keeps banning some video games becuz they are too violent, even God of war 2 had to be changed for it to be sold there
I love the portrayal of our main protagonist in this game. Jimmy despite being smaller than any other bullies, he still has balls to stand up for himself and protect the weak as potrayed in the storyline. He's the kind of character that you don't want to get on his bad side. He's a sarcastic jerk but he is not picking the other kids. It's one of the interesting characters out of any rockstar games.
Kinda like a honey badger. Not even lions will fuck with them cause, even if the lion would win, there's a good chance the diminutive honey badger will rip its face off before it goes down.
I'm pretty sure having sexy times in the car which is censored is more controversial than knocking their heads off mortal combat style, the collective adult mind is an asylum and makes no sense
Yeah, I would expect from a title called “Bully,” the primary objective was to be the worst bully you could be and thus deserving a censored name because kids would pick up that behavior, but it seems only half this game really involves you being a bully. If anything, you’re *fighting* other bullies and aren’t forced to become one.
Oddly enough, the bullies faction, even by being the first group to be Jimmy's antagonists, stayed with him even when every other faction dissented him
I don't know what yours was, but if being a student there, I would have an exact reaction of: "Wait... What??". He'll either dismiss or derail his past history further idk, but just straight outta pocket admittedly. Been a while since I experienced Bully in a good mood, it's a great game in general... But it makes me wonder what type of things he was doing exactly, maybe he could have been jesting... But that's also wishful thinking XD.
It's so crazy. Despite the utter cynicism of the Bully universe, it's a surprisingly optimistic story of an ultimately good (if anti-heroic) guy triumphing over a status quo built on preying on the weak and defenseless.
Only just got it recently, when I showed it to some of my friends, they wanted nothing to do with this game and took it way too seriously, been a victim of bullies myself when I was still in high school, but I love this game so far, lots of fun, now adult I just seeing this game as just a game among others, I'm just laughing it out when I play it, don't need to take it seriously gheez... Some people just take everything all too seriously nowadays...
If anything, it seems like Bully actually delves more into the psychology of bullying, showing the environmental, familial, social, personal, and many other reasons everyone in the game bullies everyone else.
as if angry moms would ever care about any of that, they see superficial violence they blame video games. This sort of mob mentality of cancelling things from their superficial appearance is at this point expected
@@irgendwer3610 all thanks to Lieberman if I recall. Could be mixing up different people but I think he was the main whiner that caused the rating system to get created then afterwards continued to whine when developers made things that followed the M rating qualifiers.
@@victorhurwitz5559 US senator of Connecticut back in 93 who ranted about violence in video games. Him and another threatening Nintendo and Sega with government regulations is what lead to the esrb ratings. Waved around a plastic gun from one of those arcade games proclaiming "they're teaching our kids to kill!". Spent later years bitching about GTA and manhunt.
There is something special about this game that I can't describe, it's not flashy or have a mind blowing story or gameplay, but it will always have a special place in my heart
@@vodkawhisperer3923 maybe but not necessarily. It's also just a really good game, back when Rockstar actually did effort on their games and there was no online multiplayer to milk people out of their money like GTA5 nowadays
Being the person in a position of power but bringing balance to an unkept and abusive school social environment through uniting the school body over time through earning their respect with the chaotic and controllable freedom of an ideal movie school environment. All the bs, development, systems you can understand, and an open world that feels encouraging for the player to want to explore. Plus playing a game from the ideal protagonist understanding the world around you alongside the player you can really understand the characters and their motivations no matter how random or not thought out they are. It's charmingly simple yet interesting for the average kid in school within a fleshed out imperfect school environment.
I didn't even know this game was considered controversial. Though the game is called Bully, it discourages bullying. People can can be so ignorant sometimes. It's especially ridiculous that they bullied Rockstar to try to get rid of it without even knowing what it was. What a sad bunch of hypocrites.
One idiot went on live television and got mad at it, then later in an interview literally admitted that they knew nothing about it, they were just told that it's a game called bully about bullying people.
I love how cynical and unforgiving _Bully_ is towards parodying the American education system. I thinks that's the main reason many parents got subconsciously pissed at the game, because it highlighted their lackings when it came to raising their kids. This is an excellent game, wish Rockstar had stayed in that path instead of becoming money-hungry with the success of the GTA multiplayer.
I also love the detail of the final mission where you have to take down the leaders again, and how every leader is in their arch nemesis' building. Like you said, the nerds were at the gym because that's where the jocks were hanging out. The jocks were at the library because that's where the nerds were hanging out. The greasers were in the girls dorm because..Well they had some girl problems in the past. And the preps are in their own luxury house because they honestly only care about themselves and it shows how they think so highly of themselves compared to the other students.
This game is iconic man. The music, the characters, comedy , all hit. Such unique missions and it really put me in the world for the time I played. Definitely a big part of my childhood now
1:04:29 Thats actually a theory in the community. I know 90% of media has a "it was a dream" theory but in Bully's case, after surviving an impossible drop, everything goes perfect for jimmy, the game kinda loses cohesion and everything feels strange, and you start the last chapter: an "endless summer", where time wont pass, no one ages, and everything stays the same forever
Bully in the cover name is just a perfect disguise. You're actually changing the school of chaos to proper order with no bullying! Good to see you actually making a video of this game!
Yeah. People are stupid. There has been other titles that represent what the good guys want to stop. For example, The Lord of The Rings. It's the title, and the antagonist (Sauron).
@@matthewlambert7501 yes, but mostly he's against it if they don't deserve it. he doesn't bully random people unless you make him do it, he is just a video game protagonist after all.
This game ironically had a rather realistic depiction of a strict school. Not all bullies have sh-tty background like Jimmy, some people are just a-holes, and most of the time, you have to actually fight back, either physically or emotionally. Some teachers/director, are either oblivious or straight join to the bullying. I think that's why old people got mad about it, because a lot of people have mix memories of their times in school/high school/college/university, either exaggerating the bad or the good times they had. I also love Jimmy, he aint the typical hero trying to make everyone friends, who doesn't even says bad words, Jimmy will defend you, then flick your forehead at the same time. It makes him more human, when he finally gets to power, it goes over his head. I'm a bit sad that Rockstar doesnt make their games as interactive as they are. In a way, Bully reminds me of Mount and Blade, on how alive the world is.
17:23 Sadly that’s not the case, if you take too long without sleeping Jimmy will actually pass out from exhaustion. If that happens you could get robbed in your sleep…every single time this happened to me my shoes were stolen. They nabbed my Yeezys in my sleep.
It’s just got such a character… from the way Jimmy runs, to the map/clock, the buildings… the way the staff and teachers talk to people, it’s all just so connected to itself. I completed it again a few months back for the first time in 10+ years, I’d highly recommend it to anyone!
"Russell can comprehend prison??" is honestly one of my favorite lines. The delivery & timing of it all. I played this game long before i knew anything about Rockstar or GTA, i just remembered enjoying the story & mechanics so much. I think i spent way too long with the side quests & yeah the ending seemed hella rushed for a game so robust but oh well, glad Jimmy & Pete got their happy ending so its fine :)
This game came out at a time when I was in school in a rough area and of course, was bullied. It was a great way to let off steam through relevant events and brought a lot of comfort after a shitty day.
@@skyral4137 What do you mean “bruh”? He or she said something very valid. This game came out at a time where I was made fun of at school too. I was an awkward, skinny and tall black girl just trying to get through school. I loved playing this game.
I still believe that jimmy being in a skeleton outfit, in that exact style, is a direct reference to johnny lawrence in the original karate kid. A movie widely known for its portrayal of “fighting back against the bully”. I like to think that this is almost even foreshadowing Gary’s betrayal, he told jimmy to wear this costume and johnny lawrence is portrayed as evil in the og kkid movies, he’s the bully, but aftee halloween, shit hits the fan, hence the betrayal. Cool little reference in my mind, even if it isn’t really.
Man this game ended up being the complete opposite of what I thought it was when I would see the game cover as a kid. I was thought you woulf go around stealing people's girlfriend's and robbing them while beating up teachers or something; turns out, its insanely well written, has surprisingly good dialogue, and even has a decent message. The fact that anyone could be mad about this is really puzzling, especially considering how many "normal" people i know who liked to casually hop on gta4 and gun down droves of civilians while avoiding the cops (shrug)
This is exactly why this game had so much controversy around it and was even banned in some countries. Because people who haven't played it thought that the game was about bullying others for fun. If every Karen who complained about the game actually sat down and completed the story, most would realise the game is actually anti-bullying.
@@BL00DYME55 Reviewing before playing or watching a media source materialis a negative aspect of reviewing, as it prevents you from getting the context you NEED to understand the source material's message.
@@BL00DYME55 Not like this same sort of thing didn't happen before. Go look at the laughable ideas and controversy around "Night Trap" in 1993. Though, please mind, it *WAS* in 1993. Many adults didn't play video games then, the industry was still very young. I'll give those in 1993 somewhat more of a pass, but not a huge one for lack of thorough investigation.
19:32 - Fun fact: if you keep grabbing Russell every few seconds, even though he’ll push you away, it resets the charge timer. You can go the whole fight without having him charge at you this way.
The fact we never got a sequel to this masterpiece with a new story is a crime. This game was incredible, and is still great to this day. I wouldn’t have minded the ability to have more boxing challenges though
@@Mentelgen-1337 I vaguely remember hearing of a sequel that was in the works. I didn't think of it much, and the last I thought of it might have been in 2008... Good grief...
As someone who grew up and is a tremendous fan of this game, only ten minutes in and I really appreciate how well you’re handling this game, it’s been one of my favorites for a while and seeing such a succinct video on what makes it good is really fun to watch
Man, they nailed the family/child dynamic. My mother is basically a carbon copy of Jimmy’s mum. I also became an abhorrent little asshole to literally everyone, for the longest time, because of it.
I just want to point out, after unfortunately much real-life experience with a couple people with personalities exactly like Gary, his behavior here is not delusion; he's not insane (at least in the way you mean) and he didn't start rumors about himself. It's that he honestly thinks everyone, you included, really actually are secretly plotting against him. He assumes you've been spreading rumors about him automatically. No evidence needed. Why? Because it's what he would do! It's hardcoded human nature to believe that most people are like oneself, and since he's a lying, manipulative, entitled asshole plotting and backstabbing, he honestly thinks everyone else is the same way. In his mind he's just protecting himself and giving others what they deserve. In people with these types of narcissistic, borderline sociopathic personality disorders, these tendencies of assuming shared behavior and motivations eg; that the world is out to get him, are often exaggerated in their natures to the point of paranoia. Whether by luck or by actual research, R* did a good job portraying this. Granted it's an over the top performance because it's a non-serious videogame, but still.
@@cjeromet1971 Though Stalin (and most dictators) do have similar personality traits, the purges were mainly to justify the continued existence of the State and it's brutal methods and laws. With those systems of government, there always has to be some enemy; some threat big and continuous enough to require the police state. Without that, the people might start thinking that maybe we didn't need the constant surveillance, spying, oppressive laws, and massive State bureaucracy... Sadly even our Western "free", "democratic" governments still engage in minor, less obvious versions of this behavior today. You can see it in the constant drafting of new laws, prisons packed with minor drug offenders and other 'victimless crimes', and the perpetual justification of terrorists every time the state wants to take more of your freedoms and rights away, or engage in more spying, or whatever else. Stalin's purges were just this methodology taken to the extreme -- but any government of sufficient size (and the inevitable corruption) after a while exists only to perpetuate itself and gain power, and do so there must always be enemies to justify things, real or invented. Lol sorry I didn't intend to write a thesis on this. Anyway to tie it all together, it should thus also come as no surprise that folks of similar personality to Gary often gravitate toward positions of power and authority: government, police, you name it. Most well-adjusted decent people see government, police, and use-of-force as necessary evils and methods of last resort, respectively. They participate in them because someone must, but only to the minimum necessary. The Garys of the world however see them as handy excuses to bully others and power trip. Cops do it openly and directly, politicians hide behind a facade of words and public image, while delegating the backstabbing to someone else, but the same psychological forces are at play. And that's why policing and politics are in the state they're in, because such are the majority of people in those professions. And now that I've bored the hell out of everyone, I'll shut up.
The only thing I hated in the story was the start of Chapter 5 You've literally taken over all of the student factions, only to get hated 20mins later. * School library gets infested with Rats * Nerds: "IT'S YOUR FAULT, JIMMY!" * School Gym burning * Gym Teacher/Jocks: "I'VE TRUSTED YOU, JIMMY" Like, why or how did they think Jimmy set it all up? and they all somehow listened to one guy without proof. It doesn't make sense to me.
@@THELIGHTNINGDRAGON1337 Yeah but how did he even easily convinced everyone that it was Jimmy's fault without showing proof or evidence? and why would everyone think Jimmy would do that after all the good deeds he has done for them? lol
@@JeyVGamingI think its probably cuz they (especially the faction leaders) all had some hatred for Jimmy cuz he basically forced all of them into following him, They only acted nice in front of him out of fear, and even a little nudge would be enough to get them riled up against him
I just wish Rockstar would’ve inserted Gary more in the story than just the beginning and End. I want to see Gary backstabbing me, not hear about it from characters after i just got their trust doing missions. But i get it, Gary being the master manipulator pulling the strings was the twist in the end
PLus it speaks to what a coward Gary ultiamtely is. He's so scared of you he refuses to face you until he has no other options, which is ultimately what ends him, as he feared.
a lot of people complained about his boss fight being too easy but I think that was the whole point. Gary fought with his brains and wit, muscle wasn't his strong suit. Sure he could fuck you up when he kept himself out of reach (he did it for almost the entire story and even the first half of his boss fight), but the moment you get into a one on one fist fight with him he goes down easy because Jimmy was flat out stronger and a better fighter.
When I was in middle school for two years, I was bullied for those two years straight. It was awful, while it never got physical until it stopped in high school, but while I was trying to report the bullies to the counselors they would tell me that they will do something to stop it. Yet they never done a thing. For over two years, me and my mom struggled with the school system since those years and nothing came to action. When I entered into high school, nearly half of my classes were occupied with the worst one. It wasn’t until in the middle of the first semester, I got my self into a fight with the bully who tormented me since middle school. Even though I got myself a three day suspension, a cracked nose, and was grounded by my mom for the fight, the school listen what we said and were separated from him to opposite sides of the school. Ever since then, I couldn’t care less what any school official would say whenever they wanted to meet with me due to having an IEP and would often wouldn’t see them at all. I remember talking to my aunt about when she said when her son was bullied both ms and hs and how the school system did nothing and I told her about what happened to me and she wasn’t surprised about it for she worked within public schools. I helped my cousin where I can and I consider him a brother to me. Bully shows off the school system of what GTA shows off about society and I really enjoyed the game. And if I would give advise to anyone, never start a fight, but always finish the fight. Edit: didn’t expect to get this response over a bully video. Thanks a lot for you madlads for responding. Now that I have finished high school, I’m glad that I’m out of that hellscape. While starting adulthood has its own problems, at least I’m better off now than I was before.
i was once like you before, i had a bully who keeps harassing me during high school, told my teacher about it, nothing was done. i even escalated the matter to the principal, and guess what, the bully still gets to attend class as normal so that he can keep harassing me more. one day when i was ready to head down to the cafeteria for break time, my bully came out to confront me. the both of us spewing insults at each other before he started to attack me. however, i managed to gained the upper hand and threw him down on the floor. i then proceeded to beat the hell outta him until he told me to stop, but i kept going. eventually i got caught and was immediately sent to the principal's office. the principal told me that expelling me was the only right thing she could do. i rebutted her statement with this: "if you guys aren't willing to do anything about it, then i have no choice but to take matters into my own hands. i have reported this case of bullying many times and nothing was done about it. you are giving me the impression that bullying is okay but standing up to them isn't. if you were to be me in this case, what would you do?" and that is the time i told myself that i should not rely on others to fight my battles, rather that i learn to stand up for myself. and no, i do not condone violence against bullies, but if no one is willing to help you, then it is up to you to decide whether you want to let it slide or end it here and now.
@@Aceriex Damn, I'm sorry it ended up being like that, did you end up getting expelled? I remember something similar happened to me but I just ended up ignoring it my entire life until I eventually finished highschool, I didn't really get into fights because the people who bullied me only had throat and nothing else, so I eventually let it slide. Although when I was a kid, there was this bully who punched and beat one of my friends, I tried to get him off of him but ended up getting punched myself, so, much like you, I ended up beating the shit out of him until I broke his nose and almost asphyxiated him. I believe in general, unless it's an extremely strict school, and even then, the educational system just doesn't care about bullies. And when people who finally defend themselves against bullies end up always being the ones getting caught. Adult life might not be a piece of cake, but honestly, it's light years better than teen/early adult life.
This was Rockstars FINEST work in my opinion. Well written, excellent characters, missions that kept you engaged from beginning to end....it was almost perfect
@@loki2655 I love the music in it, funny, alive, sad, sneaky, exciting, action, emotion and everything else, it's really great! I made a mistake and didn't buy it when it was on sale for just 5€, god that was dumb😑
Honestly the ending cutscene where the head just completely gives in and says that everyone who helped jimmy is amazing and untouchable and anyone opposed to him or his allies are just done, even the faculty... so therapeutic. It doesn't ruin his character wither as hes still pretty much just spoiling the shit oht of one specific kid again, but at least someone who looks out for the little guys this time lmao. Great way to end all the bs that school put jimmy through lol
What I love about the game, especially the final fight despite being kinda easy, is how Gary and Jimmy contrast each other. Jimmy on the outside looks and acts lile a typical ,well, bully. But he's actively against it, never picks on the smaller kids and is trying his best to bring some order to the school even if his methods are questionable. Whereas Gary is the *REAL* namesake of the game, despite *looking* like a prim and proper student for the most part. He's the worst kind of bully, in fact. The kind that manipulates and has others do his dirty work *for him* while he seems innocent by comparison, all the while pitting people against each other for the kicks. Even his motives are born out of pure narcissism and a need to prove he's smarter than everyone. And *that* was ultimately his downfall. Unlike Jimmy who ,over the course of the game ,becomes tough as nails to keep the school from falling apart, Gary never changed, never improved.He just laughed at how much chaos he was causing from the shadows, until Jimmy brought him out into the light and exposed him for the sociopath he actually is.
The nice thing about the fight with Gary, in my opinion, was the fact that it was easy. Most of the fights Gary running off like.a coward until you confront him, and just get a chance to kick his smug little ass.
Gary = Israel, the Colonial Project & Apartheid Regime that also serves to wreak havoc in West Asia. (look up Lavon-Affair or USS Liberty lol) A near perfect description.
Something bully nails is simply its identity. There's no question about Bully's identity as a game. The music score always fits the situation quite well if it be the various clique fighting themes, or the various mission themes. The world while nothing groundbreaking when compared to other rockstar titles, is crammed full of a certain character that you can't overlook. Each part of Bullworth feels like something you can find in small north-eastern coast towns. (Since this game for some reason really screams.. Conneticut or Massachusettes for some reason. Maybe its what the developers were going for, maybe not. Regardless it screams that New England type look)
oh they definitely were going for that. Not to mention they aimed to make the game feel sort of 'timeless' to a degree; yeah certain aspects of it could become outdated but at the same time it had this sort of feel and tone that never really goes out of style, it always feels welcome and familiar no matter what. Kinda like beloved 80s teen flicks like the Breakfast Club or Ferris Buller's Day Off.
8:15 I remember the dramatic irony of this as a lil kid thinking, "I know what I saw, a shit ton of bullying" then additionally thinking, "Maybe he's right and I'm the crazy one" only for a dude to come out with a slingshot
Incredible protagonist, beautiful OST, a cynical and mysterious story, a good sized map filled with loads of Easter eggs and activities, tons of side missions, lots of achievements, 3-4 different houses to live in, and so much more is why this game is such an underrated gem. Played it for so long ever since I bought it when I was 10, still own it on PC and Xbox 360, I'll never stop playing.
I think its stupid that the teachers get mad at you for wearing something like a leather jacket yet the greasers are allowed to wear leather and Jean jackets and the teachers just let them go.
Ironically I feel it’s kinda more realistic. I didn’t go to a fancy pants boarding school but I did go to a relatively reputable uniform school. The rules were hella biased and most often some kids could wear literally whatever they wanted and never get in trouble while other kids would get a shitshow thrown at them by the adults for not having the school’s emblem patch sewn onto the uniform pants. It all depended on your reputation and status, both in school and outside school (aka how much money your parents had)
bully sequel cancelled. because rockstar couldnt figure out how to implement online multiplay and endless microtransactions. the company is all about that today, not about making games.
the only micro transactions in rockstars games recently have been buying mf shark cards, which is literally just a waste considering grinding heists you can make a load of money quick anyways. i don’t see how you consider that “endless micro transactions”. this isn’t fortnite pal.
@@ThePWNDR do you think it's a coincidence that rockstar just recently announce gta6 in the making. If they weren't making bank off of something then it would've been made much sooner hm, let's see what their most updated, most played game is with it's shitty economy and having the inclusion of micro transactions while letting any kid play the game online as you can just buy it digitally now, it's borderline exploitation
I only have one major complaint about this game, and it's the fact that, other than the nerds, none of the factions got fleshed out. I remember Algie, Earnest, Fatty, Beatrice... I remember close to nothing about the other factions. Hell, I'm not even sure which of the jocks was the faction leader!
Jocks IS the most bland faction. But other cliques had some fleshed out character, tbh. I can remember each cliques' bosses. Johnny, Greasers, obsessed with love and a bit not right in the head, paranoid. Derby, rich brat, striking platinum blonde, is in an incestous engagement with Pinky, his cousin, spoiled and manipulative, prideful. Several other members of cliques like Norton, Trent, Gordon, Kirby, etc, etc.
Jock was the most underdeloped faction which is a shame since its my favourite cliche. I honestly wouldn't have mind if they cut out the townie faction all together and instead used that chapter on jocks.
Your gaming content is finally starting to get the recognition it deserves man. Keep it up. Your interaction with your subscribers is also top notch. We feel like you actually appreciate us. Definitely one of my absolute favorite channels on RUclips. Thankyou for what you do, Brother, it's appreciated by all your fans.
Well this is a good and a bad thing. obviously hes getting more popular, but if he gets to popular then the top notch interaction will be gone. Still tho, this channel is fire
your martial arts videos were pretty good but your recent video-game and movie hour-long video essays have been AMAZING i hope you keep making this type of content, it's some of the best I've seen in a long time
Fun fact: in the fight with Edgar, if you lose , there was a cutscene where Jimmy drown in the acid while Edgar laugh and insult him . Obviously , the developers cut It cuz It was creepy for a game like this
I loved this game as a teen. I thought it had you play as a bully initially too (which I guess is partially true) but it really was the opposite. And had such a tight, fleshed out world for the time that still runs circles around some modern AAA titles. Still waiting on a Bully 2 FeelsStrongMan.jpg
1:00:32 "Russel like to hurt people, for peace..." _Russel, a True American_ _That sentence would've made The Founding Fathers Proud, along with many others..._
15:34 When I first played this game, the sensitivity was very high so aiming was impossible. As an 8 year old, I thought this mission was hard until my sister pointed out that you can change the sensitivity of the scope in the settings. It was a game changer for me
I like the theory that Jimmy died falling off the tower with Gary. Like you said, it's like he's dreaming, and then he enters the "Endless summer" which sounds like a name for the afterlife.
But its said in the intro jimmys going to be there atleast a year for his mom and new step dads cruise and you get a post card from them and hes dropped off not long before holloween which isnt super far from summer so jimmy just has several months of less stressful time before his parents come back but i do like the death theory because it a classic rockstar conspiracy
Something I do want to say, while the teachers don't like their jobs or care about the students, I don't think the same holds for Crabapple. He's incredibly inept, gullible, short-tempered, and stubborn, but I think he does genuinely care about the kids he's charged with educating and keeping safe. He's just very bad at it.
21:50 this is one of the main things fetch quests should be used for in my opinion. they can be disliked when they get overused but a fetch quest does just force you to explore specific areas in a quick way which doesn't dilute the memory of what you saw with other more prominent things like combat, which in my personal opinion can get tedious in this game
43:36 Ernest : "What I need are some inappropriate pictures of someone they care about" Jimmy : "You want Pictures ?" Ernest : "Yeah, Pictures of Spiderman..."
53:50 I was about to disagree here but now that I think about it, I’m sure why that mission felt short is because I never really got caught doing that mission and when I did, I had the go kart unlocked which I used RELIGIOUSLY to move around. The trip back and forth felt so god damn fast lol
Such a gem of a game, they just don't make games like these anymore the attention to detail and content it had was mind boggling, this game will always remain dearly in my heart it also helps that i played the games while im a high schooler so the nostalgia just makes everything 10x better
Honestly when i played this game the first time i couldn't believe the sheer amount of creativity went into creating it. This was Rockstar's peek, i mean you dont see really AAA games anymore having such an interesting theme, being so interactive and thought out. I actually liked this game more than any GTA game by the time, and i miss the kind of commitment R* had back in the days behind every project of theirs.
This goes to show that no one, not even congress, wants to see their puberty-strickened past come to full light. Yeah, and bullying sucks while kindness swallows.
This is a very well done video but the whole thing about the jocks wanting to kick around the nerds got me thinking. The groups are so specific that they really only stick to themselves, but I actually really like that with the jocks. When Mandy got screwed over in a really creepy and gross way, the jocks stood up for her and I like that
I love your approach to video essays. You go over the objectivity of a game while sprinkling in your own opinions or humor. Brilliant content. Makes me feel like I played the game
Never before did a game that has stereotypes or any form of media that had stereotypes managed to entrain me so much The characters and gameplay are so enjoyable And the message of the game is something that is worth giving to a young child to play It might help them learn, it should help them learn
10 months later, yeah i think stereotypes are cool, as long as their used in a similar way to how they are in bully, just a simple shortcut to properly construct a characters personality instead of just making that stereotype the ENTIRE personality.
This game is literally my happy place. I remember playing this game religiously on the ps2 sitting criss cross on the floor after school and struggling with certain parts because I was a stupid fucking kid but going back and playing it as an adult a few times over never gets old to me. The story, the game play, the open world concept and side missions. This game is a true cult classic. I would buy a sequel or a remake without even thinking twice.
Damn, I had always thought I wouldn’t like this game but this video has completely changed my perspective. I never knew Bully was such a fun and quite big game.
@@GamblerOfFate777 idk man, it still got the recognition it deserves. most underrated game of rockstar is "the warriors". nobody talks about how good it was
Always loved this game. Haven't played the scholarship edition, so I've never played the new classes, but goes down as one of my favorite games. Also, Gary's pills are real, but he just has ADHD. So no excuse for the psychopathy.
you're not missing too much; apart from some extra mini games the new classes are just fluff to pad the game out. The only useful one is geography which marks the locations of all the various collectibles on your map to help with treasure hunting; apart from that, all you get are weird outfits that make everyone laugh at you as you walk by and prevent you from kissing girls. Great for comedic purposes, sucky for everything else. The missions suffer the same problem to a lesser degree; the 'bad santa' arc is a lot of fun that definitely adds a bit of flair to the winter chapter (I mean you get to smash up Santa's workshop and beat the crap out of his elves in one mission, what's not to like?) but aside from that one high point the rest of the missions are rather boring and forgettable. The graphics upgrade is nice but personally I don't think it makes a HUGE difference, I'll let you decide on that one. Overall, I'd say Scholarship edition is okay. I mean it's still the masterpiece that is bully, plays way better than a certain remaster of another game that we are never to speak of (*cough* definitive trilogy *cough*); but there really isn't much difference between the original and scholarship edition at least not in any major capacity; the additions don't add much but they don't hurt the integrity of the game either. It all comes down to whether or not you think a little extra content is worth the price tag attached to the updated version of the game.

The thing about Bully is that everyone was a bully in Bullworth: jocks, nerds, posh kids, teachers, adults, everyone was bullying each other throughout the whole game.

"everyone was bullying each other" - from what I gathered from this video, everyone is a complete and utter fucking psychopath, not bullies.
The funniest part is that the main character of the game is actually against bullying, so it’s absolutely clear that adults never played the game
Its pretty much Bullying against bullying, one is for good while one is for dominance
Do you think adults have the time spare to play every game their kids own? They have to make decisions about their kids education with the minimal information possible (what's shown) and still get it right.

Whoever voiced Jimmy deserves an award every fucking line is absolute gold, largely due to his delivery
Gerry Rosenthal voices Jimmy
Ikr its amazing
The best part is that Gerry cares about his fans and he actually played this game before lol
"What the hell are you talking about?" My favorite negative voiceline from Jimmy to other students
A fact that I know is he didn’t do the mocap because there was a different actor before him. His voice can still be heard slightly if you look harder into the audio files
My favorite thing about the game is Jimmy himself, he's willing to stand up for the little guys but is still not beyond being an ass sometimes.
I also love how straightforward he is about kicking everyone's ass.
Any faction: "What're you gonna do, fight me?"
Jimmy: "Yes"
“I can’t take back this planet with a single digit army!”
Jimmy: *Time to Rip ‘n’ Tear.*
"This is America. We'll go in with threats and bribes, and if that doesn't work, we'll be at everyone senseless."
Jimmy was definitely bout it.
perfect meme
“I hate everyone equally” - pretty much sums up Jimmy Hop’s persona.
“Russel can comprehend prison?!”
This line shouldn’t have made me laugh as hard as it did.
Thats the one that got me the most lol

Russel is peak character development. From a violent beast to a man who likes to hurt people for peace.
I love the portrayal of our main protagonist in this game. Jimmy despite being smaller than any other bullies, he still has balls to stand up for himself and protect the weak as potrayed in the storyline. He's the kind of character that you don't want to get on his bad side. He's a sarcastic jerk but he is not picking the other kids. It's one of the interesting characters out of any rockstar games.
Just like in postal your only as bad as you choose to be
@@TheRealRusDaddy exactly. He’s just as much a bully as you decide
He only fought back when the cliques would piss him off. But in the end, he would tell them to stop bullying the other kids, not just him.
he honestly reminds me of james adams from the CHERUB book series
Kinda like a honey badger. Not even lions will fuck with them cause, even if the lion would win, there's a good chance the diminutive honey badger will rip its face off before it goes down.

@@Gamingpandacat exactly
Yeah, I would expect from a title called “Bully,” the primary objective was to be the worst bully you could be and thus deserving a censored name because kids would pick up that behavior, but it seems only half this game really involves you being a bully. If anything, you’re *fighting* other bullies and aren’t forced to become one.
@@Gamingpandacat the older I get, the more I realize just how much of an asylum it is. Collective batshit and much like herpes, it's contagious.
Oddly enough, the bullies faction, even by being the first group to be Jimmy's antagonists, stayed with him even when every other faction dissented him

It's so crazy. Despite the utter cynicism of the Bully universe, it's a surprisingly optimistic story of an ultimately good (if anti-heroic) guy triumphing over a status quo built on preying on the weak and defenseless.

Only just got it recently, when I showed it to some of my friends, they wanted nothing to do with this game and took it way too seriously, been a victim of bullies myself when I was still in high school, but I love this game so far, lots of fun, now adult I just seeing this game as just a game among others, I'm just laughing it out when I play it, don't need to take it seriously gheez...

Being the person in a position of power but bringing balance to an unkept and abusive school social environment through uniting the school body over time through earning their respect with the chaotic and controllable freedom of an ideal movie school environment. All the bs, development, systems you can understand, and an open world that feels encouraging for the player to want to explore. Plus playing a game from the ideal protagonist understanding the world around you alongside the player you can really understand the characters and their motivations no matter how random or not thought out they are. It's charmingly simple yet interesting for the average kid in school within a fleshed out imperfect school environment.
It's not nostalgia. I played this game for the first time a few months ago and it's fucking grade A
I didn't even know this game was considered controversial. Though the game is called Bully, it discourages bullying. People can can be so ignorant sometimes. It's especially ridiculous that they bullied Rockstar to try to get rid of it without even knowing what it was. What a sad bunch of hypocrites.
My parents let me play the punisher which is an insanely violent game, but I had to pretend bully was a different game to be allowed to play that
One idiot went on live television and got mad at it, then later in an interview literally admitted that they knew nothing about it, they were just told that it's a game called bully about bullying people.

This game ironically had a rather realistic depiction of a strict school. Not all bullies have sh-tty background like Jimmy, some people are just a-holes, and most of the time, you have to actually fight back, either physically or emotionally. Some teachers/director, are either oblivious or straight join to the bullying.
I think that's why old people got mad about it, because a lot of people have mix memories of their times in school/high school/college/university, either exaggerating the bad or the good times they had.
I also love Jimmy, he aint the typical hero trying to make everyone friends, who doesn't even says bad words, Jimmy will defend you, then flick your forehead at the same time. It makes him more human, when he finally gets to power, it goes over his head.
I'm a bit sad that Rockstar doesnt make their games as interactive as they are. In a way, Bully reminds me of Mount and Blade, on how alive the world is.
Its why I liked this game a lot. Instead of kids being the big bullies, everyone is. Just in their own way, and the worst, is the ignorant principal
MY GOD! What a way to mention Mount and Blade, haha! But yes, that's very true. Hail to you, brother of war!

I still believe that jimmy being in a skeleton outfit, in that exact style, is a direct reference to johnny lawrence in the original karate kid. A movie widely known for its portrayal of “fighting back against the bully”. I like to think that this is almost even foreshadowing Gary’s betrayal, he told jimmy to wear this costume and johnny lawrence is portrayed as evil in the og kkid movies, he’s the bully, but aftee halloween, shit hits the fan, hence the betrayal. Cool little reference in my mind, even if it isn’t really.
Man this game ended up being the complete opposite of what I thought it was when I would see the game cover as a kid. I was thought you woulf go around stealing people's girlfriend's and robbing them while beating up teachers or something; turns out, its insanely well written, has surprisingly good dialogue, and even has a decent message.
The fact that anyone could be mad about this is really puzzling, especially considering how many "normal" people i know who liked to casually hop on gta4 and gun down droves of civilians while avoiding the cops (shrug)
This is exactly why this game had so much controversy around it and was even banned in some countries. Because people who haven't played it thought that the game was about bullying others for fun. If every Karen who complained about the game actually sat down and completed the story, most would realise the game is actually anti-bullying.

I just want to point out, after unfortunately much real-life experience with a couple people with personalities exactly like Gary, his behavior here is not delusion; he's not insane (at least in the way you mean) and he didn't start rumors about himself. It's that he honestly thinks everyone, you included, really actually are secretly plotting against him. He assumes you've been spreading rumors about him automatically. No evidence needed. Why? Because it's what he would do! It's hardcoded human nature to believe that most people are like oneself, and since he's a lying, manipulative, entitled asshole plotting and backstabbing, he honestly thinks everyone else is the same way. In his mind he's just protecting himself and giving others what they deserve. In people with these types of narcissistic, borderline sociopathic personality disorders, these tendencies of assuming shared behavior and motivations eg; that the world is out to get him, are often exaggerated in their natures to the point of paranoia.
Whether by luck or by actual research, R* did a good job portraying this. Granted it's an over the top performance because it's a non-serious videogame, but still.
Love this comment!
“I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me.”
its like stalin and his purges.
@@cjeromet1971 Though Stalin (and most dictators) do have similar personality traits, the purges were mainly to justify the continued existence of the State and it's brutal methods and laws. With those systems of government, there always has to be some enemy; some threat big and continuous enough to require the police state. Without that, the people might start thinking that maybe we didn't need the constant surveillance, spying, oppressive laws, and massive State bureaucracy...
Sadly even our Western "free", "democratic" governments still engage in minor, less obvious versions of this behavior today. You can see it in the constant drafting of new laws, prisons packed with minor drug offenders and other 'victimless crimes', and the perpetual justification of terrorists every time the state wants to take more of your freedoms and rights away, or engage in more spying, or whatever else. Stalin's purges were just this methodology taken to the extreme -- but any government of sufficient size (and the inevitable corruption) after a while exists only to perpetuate itself and gain power, and do so there must always be enemies to justify things, real or invented.
Lol sorry I didn't intend to write a thesis on this. Anyway to tie it all together, it should thus also come as no surprise that folks of similar personality to Gary often gravitate toward positions of power and authority: government, police, you name it. Most well-adjusted decent people see government, police, and use-of-force as necessary evils and methods of last resort, respectively. They participate in them because someone must, but only to the minimum necessary. The Garys of the world however see them as handy excuses to bully others and power trip. Cops do it openly and directly, politicians hide behind a facade of words and public image, while delegating the backstabbing to someone else, but the same psychological forces are at play. And that's why policing and politics are in the state they're in, because such are the majority of people in those professions.
And now that I've bored the hell out of everyone, I'll shut up.

@@Mqmn you can still critique games even if theyre old my guy
@@JeyVGamingI think its probably cuz they (especially the faction leaders) all had some hatred for Jimmy cuz he basically forced all of them into following him, They only acted nice in front of him out of fear, and even a little nudge would be enough to get them riled up against him
I just wish Rockstar would’ve inserted Gary more in the story than just the beginning and End. I want to see Gary backstabbing me, not hear about it from characters after i just got their trust doing missions. But i get it, Gary being the master manipulator pulling the strings was the twist in the end
PLus it speaks to what a coward Gary ultiamtely is. He's so scared of you he refuses to face you until he has no other options, which is ultimately what ends him, as he feared.
a lot of people complained about his boss fight being too easy but I think that was the whole point. Gary fought with his brains and wit, muscle wasn't his strong suit. Sure he could fuck you up when he kept himself out of reach (he did it for almost the entire story and even the first half of his boss fight), but the moment you get into a one on one fist fight with him he goes down easy because Jimmy was flat out stronger and a better fighter.
i wouls have enjoyed that being added to the story. his background being elaborated on would have been interesting.
Yep that is how they operate anyways, behind the scenes... 😐
When I was in middle school for two years, I was bullied for those two years straight. It was awful, while it never got physical until it stopped in high school, but while I was trying to report the bullies to the counselors they would tell me that they will do something to stop it. Yet they never done a thing.
For over two years, me and my mom struggled with the school system since those years and nothing came to action. When I entered into high school, nearly half of my classes were occupied with the worst one. It wasn’t until in the middle of the first semester, I got my self into a fight with the bully who tormented me since middle school. Even though I got myself a three day suspension, a cracked nose, and was grounded by my mom for the fight, the school listen what we said and were separated from him to opposite sides of the school.
Ever since then, I couldn’t care less what any school official would say whenever they wanted to meet with me due to having an IEP and would often wouldn’t see them at all. I remember talking to my aunt about when she said when her son was bullied both ms and hs and how the school system did nothing and I told her about what happened to me and she wasn’t surprised about it for she worked within public schools. I helped my cousin where I can and I consider him a brother to me. Bully shows off the school system of what GTA shows off about society and I really enjoyed the game.
And if I would give advise to anyone, never start a fight, but always finish the fight.
Edit: didn’t expect to get this response over a bully video. Thanks a lot for you madlads for responding. Now that I have finished high school, I’m glad that I’m out of that hellscape. While starting adulthood has its own problems, at least I’m better off now than I was before.
i was once like you before, i had a bully who keeps harassing me during high school, told my teacher about it, nothing was done. i even escalated the matter to the principal, and guess what, the bully still gets to attend class as normal so that he can keep harassing me more.
one day when i was ready to head down to the cafeteria for break time, my bully came out to confront me. the both of us spewing insults at each other before he started to attack me. however, i managed to gained the upper hand and threw him down on the floor. i then proceeded to beat the hell outta him until he told me to stop, but i kept going. eventually i got caught and was immediately sent to the principal's office.
the principal told me that expelling me was the only right thing she could do. i rebutted her statement with this: "if you guys aren't willing to do anything about it, then i have no choice but to take matters into my own hands. i have reported this case of bullying many times and nothing was done about it. you are giving me the impression that bullying is okay but standing up to them isn't. if you were to be me in this case, what would you do?"
and that is the time i told myself that i should not rely on others to fight my battles, rather that i learn to stand up for myself. and no, i do not condone violence against bullies, but if no one is willing to help you, then it is up to you to decide whether you want to let it slide or end it here and now.
I’m a boxer so they wouldn’t be able to take me down, especially wrestlers because I’m not stupid enough to let them get ahold of my legs or just me.
@@kenyalmb good for you Gordon.
@@Aceriex Damn, I'm sorry it ended up being like that, did you end up getting expelled? I remember something similar happened to me but I just ended up ignoring it my entire life until I eventually finished highschool, I didn't really get into fights because the people who bullied me only had throat and nothing else, so I eventually let it slide. Although when I was a kid, there was this bully who punched and beat one of my friends, I tried to get him off of him but ended up getting punched myself, so, much like you, I ended up beating the shit out of him until I broke his nose and almost asphyxiated him. I believe in general, unless it's an extremely strict school, and even then, the educational system just doesn't care about bullies. And when people who finally defend themselves against bullies end up always being the ones getting caught. Adult life might not be a piece of cake, but honestly, it's light years better than teen/early adult life.
i got lucky cos my parents begged the principal to give me another chance, and the principal reluctantly let me go with a warning.
This was Rockstars FINEST work in my opinion. Well written, excellent characters, missions that kept you engaged from beginning to end....it was almost perfect

That is the most overrated Rockstar game now.
Honestly the ending cutscene where the head just completely gives in and says that everyone who helped jimmy is amazing and untouchable and anyone opposed to him or his allies are just done, even the faculty... so therapeutic. It doesn't ruin his character wither as hes still pretty much just spoiling the shit oht of one specific kid again, but at least someone who looks out for the little guys this time lmao. Great way to end all the bs that school put jimmy through lol
What I love about the game, especially the final fight despite being kinda easy, is how Gary and Jimmy contrast each other.
Jimmy on the outside looks and acts lile a typical ,well, bully. But he's actively against it, never picks on the smaller kids and is trying his best to bring some order to the school even if his methods are questionable.
Whereas Gary is the *REAL* namesake of the game, despite *looking* like a prim and proper student for the most part. He's the worst kind of bully, in fact. The kind that manipulates and has others do his dirty work *for him* while he seems innocent by comparison, all the while pitting people against each other for the kicks. Even his motives are born out of pure narcissism and a need to prove he's smarter than everyone.
And *that* was ultimately his downfall. Unlike Jimmy who ,over the course of the game ,becomes tough as nails to keep the school from falling apart, Gary never changed, never improved.He just laughed at how much chaos he was causing from the shadows, until Jimmy brought him out into the light and exposed him for the sociopath he actually is.
Why is this a less cosmically threatful version of Joker and Akechi from persona 5
The nice thing about the fight with Gary, in my opinion, was the fact that it was easy. Most of the fights Gary running off like.a coward until you confront him, and just get a chance to kick his smug little ass.
@@maggotsman.What the fuck you're right
Gary = Israel, the Colonial Project & Apartheid Regime that also serves to wreak havoc in West Asia. (look up Lavon-Affair or USS Liberty lol)
A near perfect description.
@@maggotsman.thats a great comparison, shout out akechi tho thats my goat 💯
Something bully nails is simply its identity. There's no question about Bully's identity as a game. The music score always fits the situation quite well if it be the various clique fighting themes, or the various mission themes. The world while nothing groundbreaking when compared to other rockstar titles, is crammed full of a certain character that you can't overlook. Each part of Bullworth feels like something you can find in small north-eastern coast towns. (Since this game for some reason really screams.. Conneticut or Massachusettes for some reason. Maybe its what the developers were going for, maybe not. Regardless it screams that New England type look)
oh they definitely were going for that. Not to mention they aimed to make the game feel sort of 'timeless' to a degree; yeah certain aspects of it could become outdated but at the same time it had this sort of feel and tone that never really goes out of style, it always feels welcome and familiar no matter what. Kinda like beloved 80s teen flicks like the Breakfast Club or Ferris Buller's Day Off.
i feel like it reminds me a little of New Jersey, but I'm no expert
This game actually does take place in the New England region of the US. My guess would be West Haven.
But does it also for some reason really scream that New England type look for some reason?
I heard somewhere it's supposed to be New Hampshire
8:15 I remember the dramatic irony of this as a lil kid thinking, "I know what I saw, a shit ton of bullying" then additionally thinking, "Maybe he's right and I'm the crazy one"
only for a dude to come out with a slingshot
Incredible protagonist, beautiful OST, a cynical and mysterious story, a good sized map filled with loads of Easter eggs and activities, tons of side missions, lots of achievements, 3-4 different houses to live in, and so much more is why this game is such an underrated gem. Played it for so long ever since I bought it when I was 10, still own it on PC and Xbox 360, I'll never stop playing.
If bullying is so bad then why do our public schools consistently fail to stop it from happening?
Stop it?
They encourage it with reverse psychology. Like those anti-smoking ads.
toughen up
@@bloodysimile4893 tru deym
Because they're lazy assholes who would rather pretend to care than actually do something.
@@thekidnamedfinger420 bad attitude
I think its stupid that the teachers get mad at you for wearing something like a leather jacket yet the greasers are allowed to wear leather and Jean jackets and the teachers just let them go.
I think they still wear the school's vest under those leather jackets or jean jackets.
I think it gets explained away with the lore being that since they’re always working on cars/bikes the shop teacher gives them a pass
Ironically I feel it’s kinda more realistic. I didn’t go to a fancy pants boarding school but I did go to a relatively reputable uniform school. The rules were hella biased and most often some kids could wear literally whatever they wanted and never get in trouble while other kids would get a shitshow thrown at them by the adults for not having the school’s emblem patch sewn onto the uniform pants. It all depended on your reputation and status, both in school and outside school (aka how much money your parents had)
bully sequel cancelled.
because rockstar couldnt figure out how to implement online multiplay and endless microtransactions.
the company is all about that today, not about making games.
the only micro transactions in rockstars games recently have been buying mf shark cards, which is literally just a waste considering grinding heists you can make a load of money quick anyways. i don’t see how you consider that “endless micro transactions”. this isn’t fortnite pal.
@@ThePWNDR do you think it's a coincidence that rockstar just recently announce gta6 in the making. If they weren't making bank off of something then it would've been made much sooner hm, let's see what their most updated, most played game is with it's shitty economy and having the inclusion of micro transactions while letting any kid play the game online as you can just buy it digitally now, it's borderline exploitation
@@ThePWNDR cope
Guess that’s why they abandoned Red Dead Online which sucks compare to Red Dead Redemption 1 online
Cry.
I only have one major complaint about this game, and it's the fact that, other than the nerds, none of the factions got fleshed out. I remember Algie, Earnest, Fatty, Beatrice... I remember close to nothing about the other factions. Hell, I'm not even sure which of the jocks was the faction leader!
Jocks IS the most bland faction. But other cliques had some fleshed out character, tbh. I can remember each cliques' bosses. Johnny, Greasers, obsessed with love and a bit not right in the head, paranoid. Derby, rich brat, striking platinum blonde, is in an incestous engagement with Pinky, his cousin, spoiled and manipulative, prideful. Several other members of cliques like Norton, Trent, Gordon, Kirby, etc, etc.
@@arthurmorganSUNi only remember the greasers and johnny because of the outsiders
Jock was the most underdeloped faction which is a shame since its my favourite cliche. I honestly wouldn't have mind if they cut out the townie faction all together and instead used that chapter on jocks.

I loved this game as a teen. I thought it had you play as a bully initially too (which I guess is partially true) but it really was the opposite. And had such a tight, fleshed out world for the time that still runs circles around some modern AAA titles. Still waiting on a Bully 2 FeelsStrongMan.jpg
5:05 This moment really changed boys across the globe
"Femboy"

15:34 When I first played this game, the sensitivity was very high so aiming was impossible. As an 8 year old, I thought this mission was hard until my sister pointed out that you can change the sensitivity of the scope in the settings.
It was a game changer for me
I like the theory that Jimmy died falling off the tower with Gary.
Like you said, it's like he's dreaming, and then he enters the "Endless summer" which sounds like a name for the afterlife.
But its said in the intro jimmys going to be there atleast a year for his mom and new step dads cruise and you get a post card from them and hes dropped off not long before holloween which isnt super far from summer so jimmy just has several months of less stressful time before his parents come back but i do like the death theory because it a classic rockstar conspiracy
Also fuckin choomah
Something I do want to say, while the teachers don't like their jobs or care about the students, I don't think the same holds for Crabapple. He's incredibly inept, gullible, short-tempered, and stubborn, but I think he does genuinely care about the kids he's charged with educating and keeping safe. He's just very bad at it.
Amazing content once again, from underrated games to nostalgia hitters. Thanks for the content my man!
Yes sir
21:50 this is one of the main things fetch quests should be used for in my opinion. they can be disliked when they get overused but a fetch quest does just force you to explore specific areas in a quick way which doesn't dilute the memory of what you saw with other more prominent things like combat, which in my personal opinion can get tedious in this game

I was about to disagree here but now that I think about it, I’m sure why that mission felt short is because I never really got caught doing that mission and when I did, I had the go kart unlocked which I used RELIGIOUSLY to move around. The trip back and forth felt so god damn fast lol
Jimmy is a very easy character to relate with, even if you’ve never been in his exact circumstances you’ve definitely felt the things he’s feeling
30:55 Jimmy’s got them godly roasts 💀
Such a gem of a game, they just don't make games like these anymore the attention to detail and content it had was mind boggling, this game will always remain dearly in my heart it also helps that i played the games while im a high schooler so the nostalgia just makes everything 10x better
I honestly can't believe the amount of work done into this game, really. I miss this kind of old school (no pun intended) game design and immersion.
I've been bullied from time to time. I've bullied people myself here and there. But this game was a masterpiece, no questions asked.
No doubt because of this game. It should of been completely banned along with 99 percent of all games.
@@nepntzerZer Your statement better be satire lmfao
honestly this game genuinely needs its own movie adaptation I absolutely love it
Honestly when i played this game the first time i couldn't believe the sheer amount of creativity went into creating it. This was Rockstar's peek, i mean you dont see really AAA games anymore having such an interesting theme, being so interactive and thought out. I actually liked this game more than any GTA game by the time, and i miss the kind of commitment R* had back in the days behind every project of theirs.
This goes to show that no one, not even congress, wants to see their puberty-strickened past come to full light. Yeah, and bullying sucks while kindness swallows.

Never before did a game that has stereotypes or any form of media that had stereotypes managed to entrain me so much
The characters and gameplay are so enjoyable
And the message of the game is something that is worth giving to a young child to play
It might help them learn, it should help them learn
10 months later, yeah i think stereotypes are cool, as long as their used in a similar way to how they are in bully, just a simple shortcut to properly construct a characters personality instead of just making that stereotype the ENTIRE personality.
13:16 I suspect the first release of this game the homeless hobo wanted liquor, not transistors for electronics.
This game is literally my happy place. I remember playing this game religiously on the ps2 sitting criss cross on the floor after school and struggling with certain parts because I was a stupid fucking kid but going back and playing it as an adult a few times over never gets old to me. The story, the game play, the open world concept and side missions. This game is a true cult classic. I would buy a sequel or a remake without even thinking twice.
Same here. It’s one of my favourite games of all time and a sequel would be so nice to see.

Always loved this game. Haven't played the scholarship edition, so I've never played the new classes, but goes down as one of my favorite games. Also, Gary's pills are real, but he just has ADHD. So no excuse for the psychopathy.
you're not missing too much; apart from some extra mini games the new classes are just fluff to pad the game out. The only useful one is geography which marks the locations of all the various collectibles on your map to help with treasure hunting; apart from that, all you get are weird outfits that make everyone laugh at you as you walk by and prevent you from kissing girls. Great for comedic purposes, sucky for everything else.
The missions suffer the same problem to a lesser degree; the 'bad santa' arc is a lot of fun that definitely adds a bit of flair to the winter chapter (I mean you get to smash up Santa's workshop and beat the crap out of his elves in one mission, what's not to like?) but aside from that one high point the rest of the missions are rather boring and forgettable.
The graphics upgrade is nice but personally I don't think it makes a HUGE difference, I'll let you decide on that one.
Overall, I'd say Scholarship edition is okay. I mean it's still the masterpiece that is bully, plays way better than a certain remaster of another game that we are never to speak of (*cough* definitive trilogy *cough*); but there really isn't much difference between the original and scholarship edition at least not in any major capacity; the additions don't add much but they don't hurt the integrity of the game either. It all comes down to whether or not you think a little extra content is worth the price tag attached to the updated version of the game.
As someone with ADHD, I can confirm that when I go off my Adderall I also become a narcissistic psychopath.
