So, in Bully 2 would you want the Main Character to be an Anti- Hero sort of like Jimmy? But a little more.. 'Aggressive' ?
Or would you like a 'Good Guy' Protagonist?.. Or would you want a Bad Guy who does a few good things or just a bad guy?..
It would be great if you could pick choices in Bully 2, but it most likely won't happen.
-
If they don't use Jimmy then the new guy or girl should be nothing like him. Maybe a nerdy kid who can't fight for shit and has to use his brains to get out of things.
-
I wouldn't mind that, but I think if Rockstar did that it would be a ballsy move since a lot of people wouldn't like it.
-
IDK, they made the guy in SH Shattered Memories a real pussy who wasn't allowed to fight anyone, a real departure from the rest of the series. Doubt that would work for Bully though.
Maybe from the point of a Nerd ? Kinda hard to work that out too. The lead character, like Jimmy, has to be free of any association with any Clique for the game to really work.
Personally, I feel he should be a bit smarter that the average bear. This whole thing of having a 'Stupid Jimmy' never really sat well with me. Lots of real troublemakers have more brains that that.
-
I didn't mean a Nerd, just a nerd. Someone like Petey, but with a stronger personality.
Nais, I like the idea of learning different fighting styles. Maybe it could be like San Andreas, where there's more than one trainer, each has a certain style.
-
Nah, I wouldn't like that at all, having a nerdy guy. It's gonna take away the fun of beating up students with the newest awesome graphics and maybe engine. I have a good time fighting in GTA IV, a game from 2008 and there were like a total of 5 attacks or something :D. Not sure about the fighting style thing, I always liked how some characters have their unique style(Russel, Jimmy, Gary). And I remember reading that the people you fight with were supposed to get bruised up, like in the boxing matches. I'd like to see that. And it would be cool if he would be a little more 'flexible'. I don't mean that he has to know parkour, just enough to jump over taller fences, being able to dodge a hit while running, etc, because everyone can do that when in a dangerous situation.
It would also be good if the protagonist is left with a more open or double personality, like Jimmy.
-
for me, I want Petey himself to be the next pratagonist.Maybe the game involves around stopping the bullying in the school as Petey is the new headboy now.I have made a story in the community stories board, it's called a tale of two headboys.
-
While reading this thread,you can realize that everybody want different protagonist.So,in my opinion,it's the best to leave character design to player.
So,when you start an game you would design your own character.
You would be able to create his appearance,skills,attributes etc...
-
^ I'd love that (also getting to choose the gender of the character). :)
-
Honestly, I wouldn't want a Female Choice. And I doubt that Rockstar would put in that amount of time for Bully.
-
^ You may be right about Rockstar, but what's wrong with a female protagonist?
-
Yeah, I dug playing as a girl in the RE series ! At least my character looked cute !
-
Who doesn't like a Lara Croft like character that can kick ass?
-
Pfffftttt. I don't care how the protagonist acts in the story. If I'm the one controlling the character, I be the judge on how they act. :)
-
^ Perfectly said.
-
If gender chosing will be an option,they must create 2 diferent stories
-
Why?
-
Let's redefine my post:
If gender choosing will be an option,they must create 2 different stories,but:
---stories should be at least 60% different (replay value,gender differences (like boys approach . problems with brute force,and girls rather think their way around)
---most of the main missions would be same,buts a lot of side missions will be different for each . gender
-
Something I would find interesting is if they let you create-a-character. And throughout the game you can recruit other people to make your own clique.
-
I don't really like the gender choosing idea. I can't really imagine a girl taking on students the size of Damon. And Rockstar Games never fail to come up with a great character, so I'm not really into the Create-Your-Character thing..
-
You guys would be surprised at how tough girls can be.
-
R* never fails, I'll give them that. They make everything integrated and work really well.
I've had games where the creat-a-character feature was used though. It's really nice. When things are more your way it's always nice. R* just does a great job with their games, so there's no complaints usually.
-
You guys would be surprised at how tough girls can be.
Also how could a runt like Jimmy do the things he does in RL. Give a female character some weapons and martial arts training, and I could buy into it enough to enjoy the game.
-
You're right, Jimmy didn't really seem that tough, even Gary seemed more fit than him, but a few right aimed punches are enough to knock anyone down. But yeah, ANYONE with a weapon is tough. It's the bare-handed fights that matter.
-
I knew tough shorties that could lift big guys off the ground and kick their asses.
But with that said, Jimmy being able to reverse Russell's grapples on the ground is silly.
Also, the fact that even the weakest of boys can break a grapple after a short bit and that girls can't be grappled at all is downright ridiculous
-
I'd want someone like Jimmy. (God, even if it was just a rehash with Jimmy in it, I'd still get it). Someone who's not a dick, but isn't afraid to knock someone out if they cross the line. Like Jimmy said, he only gives people what's coming to them. That's the sort of protagonist I'd want, not a psycho and not a wimp either.
I think being able to pick genders would be kinda interesting. However, I wouldn't want it to be like Saints Row where the story has to be pretty much gender neutral; a lot of the richness that you see in Rockstar's storylines would probably be lost.
-
Maybe a guy that was like strong willed. He is tough but doesn't boast about it. A smart ass. A way with the ladies and self absorbed, O_O I KNOW NOW WHAT I MUST DO!!
-
In the earlier Resident Evil games, if one would recall, there were game options to play as a girl character doing just about the same stuff. In RE 3, you play mostly as a girl. Even in RE 5, that girl was a tough bitch.
-
I want Jimmy to come back. I know thats not likely though. ;(
