Should I preorder Bully (360)?

Abooie · 9 Feb 2008 at 18:17

I really can't make my mind up.
I've seen Bully on preorder for £25 and quite fancy it.
I didn't play it on the PS2 and it does look quite a laugh but I'm worried the setting could soon become tiresome and there's only so many times (I'm thinking once) I'll enjoy giving a wedgie etc.

Anyone who's played it what did you think? Is it entertaning? Is there a good fun central story? Is it still quite adult themed or is it very 'kiddie'?

I reckon it will be only 25ish anyway as its a port

Im not pre ordering, just buying on rls

Looks like a rental to me. Either that or very cheap after a week or so.

Not heard about bully for like a year.

Its like a MMO GTA right?

Bully is great fun!

Play the PS2 version if you can dude, it really is fun, it's like being the little ******* in school you always wanted to be

O... i read a long time ago GTA were making a MMO style of GTA where you go around in gangs taking terriroty and you can work for the police etc. Also you could send npcs to defend your territory from the internet by logging in so you could even do it at work away from your pc/consol.

Sounds like APB to me, another game that was in development (although not by rockstar as far as im aware)

Kohaashi · 10 Feb 2008 at 14:59

I too heard a about Rockstar possibly working on a GTA MMO although that was years back. :/

Edit: Could be what Shamikebab is referring to.

Good game on the PS2, its a laugh, but not sure how the achievements will be, for all you Achievement Whores out there

All in all, good fun, will be grabbing it for the 360 to see it in "next-gen"

MumboJumbo · 10 Feb 2008 at 20:58

Yeah i remeber there being an article on it in a magazine i read a few years back. Looks kinda fun but never heard any moer on it.

Maybe you'll be able to do what Jack Thompson said, "Dunk a black childs head down a dirty toilet" - Achievement Unlocked!

APB is the 'revolutionary' new game from Realtime Worlds in Dundee. Apparently they are saying what they brought to the genre in terms of revolution for Crackdown is nothing compared to APB.

imo I'm looking foward to this, but it reeks of bargain bin material, wait at least a month

What was revolutionary about crackdown? Its endgame was boring and repetitive. It was fun jumping about though

Being able to co-op in a fully navigateable city, whether it be ground level or scaling buildings whilst throwing anything about. Never have you had the freedom to go forwards, backwards, left to right or up and down and then do it in co-op whilst having the same level of freedom.
