Realistic Hopes and Expectations for Bully2

[King Cobra]

I always get pissed when my Go-Kart is rammed and it flips through the air taking 5 minutes to regain balance. Just gimme a car!

1.) Since this is not GTA based, Jimmy should have to follow the laws with driving, Otherwise, he gets his license suspended. In order to get back the license, a fine must be paid. If you're not caught....Well you're not caught!

[Dave]

Man you're full of awesome ideas!! I like that about having to follow the rules and paying a fine, since a big part of the game is getting in trouble. And you're right, it has to be way different than GTA when driving a car.

[Dave]

Oh also there would be a speed limit of 30 or something, and if you go over your meter increases depending on how much faster you go. (Speedometer located at bottom of the screen.) If you hit another car, your trouble meter automatically becomes red.

[King Cobra]

Having a car can bring a whole new SPECTRUM of ideas.

1.) Egg people
2.)Paintball anything
3.) New pranks with or on cars.

4) If there's cars, there might as well be bikes and any other vehicles. Bikes are important.

5.) Here's one: To increase the size of the inventory you carry, Jimmy can use a backpack and the trunk of a vehicle. Go out packin' more. Don't leave home without it!

[Dave]

Having a car can bring a whole new SPECTRUM of ideas.

Yeah. It can bring many new/different kinds of missions. And, much more mischief possibly?

[King Cobra]

More than we can imagine. I hope this Bully 2, if coming, doesn't end up in the cycle of controversial bullshit. I fight for all of my games. Bully is one. I'm currently doing what I can for 6 days in Fallujah. I don't believe in letting good games pass by to wait for the next one. You're not a true gamer just because you play it. You need to get off your ass and support it as well.

[Dave]

Umm, like how?

[King Cobra]

Sometimes when games get into these controversial battles, the developers will make petitions. In the 6 Days In Fallujah topic In "Other Games And Related Discussion" I gave the petition site. That's how I try to support. I look for any other possible ways as well.

[Dave]

Oh. Well Bully 2 hasn't come to that... yet.

[King Cobra]

The first Bully did. I have a feeling the second one is a possibility. Controversy for a game tends to be only once, so the following series won't be bothered.

[BloodChuckZ]

Except in the case of MANHUNT 2.....

[King Cobra]

I didn't see any controversial issues with Manhunt. If there was I'm not aware. And by now it wouldn't matter because that game made it to the shelves. Its all about the fist game making it to the stores. The second one and on will usually be fine.

[Chrissy]

There was a lot, actually. It was banned in a few countries, too. They also had to censor the executions, they were too brutal.

But we can watch these same executions in most gore films, so go figure.

[King Cobra]

I've been keeping an eye on the petition for 6 Days. It hasn't moved lately. I'm gonna have to see who else I might know that is willing enough to support.

[BloodChuckZ]

MH2 was banned in England, and as a result, the U.S. release was held up by several months (which really pissed me off since I was waiting on it), while they went back and 'Re-Tooled' (blurred) the execution scenes to make it more 'acceptable'.  The whole furror hit the mainstream media, making the network's nightly news. 

MH1 had sorta snuck in under the radar, no one was aware of the brutal execution scenes until it was actually out there.  This gave the opponents of the Manhunt genre ammunition in their campaign against MH2.  Uncensored, MH2 excutions aren't any worse than MH1. 

I fear this same scenario may happen to Bully 2.
