Funny I was thinking about listing Bully as my choice in a thread about overlooked/underrated games, it's such a hidden gem. I have to wonder if rockstar will get any kind of backlash these days for having a violent video game based around teenagers/high school. It's become a increasingly sensitive subject since the days when bully was originally released.
I feel like that amount of backlash was more likely back when Bully first came out and wouldn't really see much backlash for Bully 2. Bully came out during the height of the games cause violence...

Bully came out during the height of the games cause violence phase when media was eating that shit up constantly and it did fine. So I don't see how it would be seen any worse today. Maybe a few articles to be expected but nothing out of the norm for Rockstar.

I really hope this is true. I enjoyed Bully—it doesn't fully hold up today, but I do like that it was sort of its own game. Also, it's outstanding that rockstar included so many boys for Jimmy to kiss—AAA games at the time didn't really make too many efforts for that sort of inclusion.
I'd love for Bully 2 to be an excuse for Rockstar to experiment with more of a "choices matter" style of storytelling. They love their open world action-adventure games, but I'd like my choices really make more of a difference in the story and on the characters and the world around them. Bully could be a great series for them to try that on.
