    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.

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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    I love Bully, which is why its flaws are so upsetting to me, because I can feel how they prevent the game from being even better. My three big gripes with Bully are as follows: 1) The reputation system and the plot as a whole would’ve worked better in a less linear story. Every single npc is so lovingly crafted to be an individual, it’s a shame the linearity of the game ends up wasting their potential and turning them into set dressing, and you aren’t given more opportunity and agency to explore and build relationships with characters and cliques of your choosing. Furthermore, it would be fun to be able to fail or even sabotage quests without being forced to restart the mission, and have that sabotage or failure become a canon event in that playthrough (unless you reload). For instance, it’s actually possible in game to fail the mission The Candidate by shooting Earnest’s speakers, and I would’ve loved if I could’ve used that as a way to gain Jock respect and lose Nerd respect. More player choice would also help spice up the honestly slightly mediocre gameplay of fighting and fetch-quests. 2) Gary also felt like very wasted potential in the story. There exist trailers and unused cutscenes that imply he was originally meant to stay your friend for much more of the game rather than quickly betraying you at the end of chapter one, and I think that would’ve made his manipulation and betrayal hold much more weight. As it stands, in the final game, he’s kinda just spoken of in passing, another npc walking around campus, occasionally showing up in the background of cutscenes. He’s weirdly enigmatic, not in a cool way, but in a shallow and underdeveloped way: he magically convinces people to do his dirty work and believe his rumors, even though he’s written and acted to be a bad liar, and most everyone from Pinky to Algie knows he’s a sociopath not to be trusted. I also found that Peter Vack’s voice acting for Gary ranged from fucking perfect, like whenever he’s tormenting Petey, especially about the swim team, to slightly cringy and phoned in, like whenever he’s monologuing or when he does his deep and slow little chuckle. 3) I never liked the ending for how lucky and matter-of-fact it felt. Having Gary get in trouble because Crabblesnitch just so happened to hear his whole monologue made it feel extremely flimsy, fragile, and unearned. An easy fix would have been to have Jimmy or a friend have a powerful tape recorder in their pocket while chasing Gary to record his evil monologue to show to Crabblesnitch later, and it would thusly feel so much more rightful and rewarding when he gets punished. It’s also disappointing you never get to see the hurt on Gary’s face when he realizes he’s failed; it would have been so cathartic and so earned for us to finally see him feel the weight of his karma. A couple other things about the ending: - How the hell did Gary get all the cliques to riot and fight each other? And what did doing so accomplish for the story? - Why does Johnny go back to hating you like everyone else even after you just SAVED HIS ASS FROM A FUCKING ASYLUM? - Why is everyone cheering for Jimmy in the final cutscene? How did they suddenly start loving him again? Did they learn about Gary’s evil schemes? If so, how did they find out so fast? And then there’s the technical critiques: It’s a shame so many things like bike tricks and a second story for the boys’ dorm had to be cut due to budget restraints and deadlines. Funhouse Fun was originally meant to center around using the funhouse controls to torment the Jocks, the dialogue for which is actually left over in the game files, but aside from that one moment where you trigger the grim reaper statues to hit them, it ended up being another simple beat-’em-up and escort mission. Had Rockstar and the PS2 been able to pull it off, it would’ve been nice if Bullworth Academy had more student npcs, so they didn’t have to reuse the same ones all over the map. Also that mission where you take compromising photos of Mandy without question and then a couple missions later go around destroying the posters of those photos which makes her like you while hiding the fact that it was you who took the photos in the first place always felt really gross.

    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.

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.

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)

    I'm actually grateful that Rockstar locks zones and only unlocks them through story progression. Open world gaming seems to be the big trend right now and personally it's very overwhelming. Having access to everything immediately makes the progression feel very backwards and you may either end up completely overpowered or somehow did something in the wrong order. Not to mention, having an entire map to explore straight out of the gate is overwhelming because you feel like you absolutely have to explore all of it in fear that you might miss something.

    I think I like Saints row 3's progression. all of the map is open to you and you can move around it freely after the first 2-3 missions. However the game itself mostly sticks to one main zone for the first half of the game or so, only later introducing neighboring areas and giving you missions there. So if someone has played the game before, they can easily go to some of the shops outside (though the only one I'm aware of would be leather and lace but still), or do some activities outside of the main area. Dlcs tend to break that somewhat, but I can more or less understand it since you can start them at any time.

    Or it's just unused space. Why have it if you don't need it? Good example are the locked islands in GTA 4. You can fuck around with a 6 star, but to get anything important, you gotta deal with that bastard Roman. Lol.

    In San Andreas going into the map outside the city without progressing the story actually gives you an automatic 6 star wanted level

    6:09 It's really funny when you put in perspective that both Bully and San Andreas did the feature before Red Dead 2, a decade early.

    @blue guy you're is short for "you are". I was using the possessive form "your" in each instance that I used it.

    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

    I grew up playing this game on xbox and It's such a unique game it definitely sticks out it my memory of playing games as a kid. I imagine it took a long time to put all this together, thanks for the nostalgia trip and awesome video!

    I love videos like this. They just explain the entire game in their own words, and it's usually super funny.

    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

    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
