masterpiece, nostalgia for the PS 2 era. playing it again now is really fun note: this PC port is bad, crashes and can only 30fps. you have to install a mod called BullySilentPatch (https://github.com/CookiePLMonster/SilentPatchBully/releases) to unlock the fps and fix crash issue.

BUYERS BEWARE. Is the game good? Absolutely. It has been ever since I first played it. In fact I will stand by the fact that Hogwarts Legacy absolutely fails where this game succeeds: You feel like an ACTUAL student. But does it run good? No. No it does not. It runs like an old man falling down the stairs. You should mod this game immediately after running it at least once. If you are wanting to buy this game for the sake of having it on the Steam Library, go right ahead, but don't feel bad for emulating this game, because Rockstar did the bare ass minimum to support it. Had I known it was in the state that it was, I might not have given my lunch money to Rockstar, but what's done is done. 5 out of 5 stars game, but this pc port runs like a Algie with a wedgie

Imagine Bart Simpson stumbling into simple version of Hogwarts without a trace of magic, all wrapped in the gritty vibes of Mark Millar’s Kingston . That’s roughly how Bully plays out. The game truly finds its rhythm in the second part, with a more expansive world, new mechanics, and vehicles. Rockstar’s signature style is unmistakable—charismatic characters, sharp humor, and the kind of biting dialogue that will undoubtedly expand your personal lexicon of insults. Missions are typically short, so even though it’s often a formula of "beat, chase, escape," it never overstays its welcome. The brutal guitar-laden soundtrack is superb—no wonder it’s available for download, as the game’s description eagerly points out. The atmosphere of a small town and a cloistered school is pitch-perfect. The addition of a theme park and the ability to swim felt like a revelation—the world suddenly opened up beyond the school walls, adding fresh layers to the experience. Notice to save your game after every mission. This Steam version has a habit of crashing unexpectedly.

I love this game. Why Rockstar hasn't done another one yet is truly baffling. This was an actual masterpiece and does deserve a remake and a sequel.

May 2024

This game would never, ever get made now. We need a sequel to this way more than we need GTA6. I would go as far as to say this is one of the most original games ever made. It's not as crazy as games like Postal, but it walks the line between a reasonable mainstream release and one of the most surreal gaming experiences you will have in your life. Where the Red Dead series is incredibly grounded and the GTA series is occasionally obscene, Bully steers more into the anarchic insanity sometimes found in the worlds or the latter. People who state that you are a "Bully" in this title have never played it. The world is far more complex than that, for all it's comical rhetoric on issues with educational system in western countries. You are simply an individual who is caught up in a world of problems, which you are not responsible for. The player, should they choose to Bully anyone, can do so. However, the protagonist (Jimmy) is a neutral party with an often rational way of approaching each situation. You are an observer in a world that is a parody of real issues we have all faced. Returning to this title, in adulthood, allows for cathartic reflection. If anything, this title is a positive challenge which playfully puts widely ignored issues under a magnifying glass.
