I'm holding on to very little hope for another Bully. Its been a LONG time now and still no sign of one coming.

Honestly, it'd be cool if there was one, but if there wasn't I'd still be happy with just one.

Its been too long for anyone to actually be expecting a Bully 2 now. Just hope remains in a few people.

I know what you mean. It's been over 4 years. Pretty much nobody except us are hoping to expect the sequel.

And another thing, maybe it's just me, but I usually don't tend to like sequels to games. I become so attached to the first and the way it is, I end up hating the next one because it's too different.

If a game is good enough I will look for a sequel. I like to see stories continue. The story has to be worth continuing though....

I'd really like it back at Bullworth, even if the chances of that happening aren't great. Only this time around, there'd be a ton more added.

I'd like it back at Bullworth. I'm wondering if Rockstar would....

Of course they could, but probably not.

Its all about how much of a success a game becomes when they market it. If they have a game that will be more successful than another Bully, they will run with that instead.

Like I've said, I want to see a new location with new things to explore.  As far as Bullworth is concerned, we been there and done that.

Making a totally new map wouldn't be a bad idea. I would take it if they just add to the current one though. Either one seems fine to me. What happens with the characters, I'm not sure. I don't think we could get rid of Jimmy and the others though. I think we should have more characters added to the ones we already have. To move them to another map and give them a new story to follow would be cool.

Many people had the reaction of dismay when James Earl Cash didn't appear in MH 2.  But the point was....James Earl Cash's story was done.  It was time for a new story, and a new character.  And, the storyline of Daniel Lamb was just as good as James Earl Cash was.  And it was different, which isn't always a bad thing.

Jimmy's story is done.  Where does he go from here, gamewise ?  He beat the Cliques, beat the system, beat the crazy fucked-up bad kid, became King of the School.....What could top that ?  Bringing him back to beat the missions, pass the classes, earn the respect, all over again would be redundant.

And we have already explored the Bullworth Academy and the Towns.  I can navagate the streets in my sleep.  So I want to pop out $60 just to return to the same place ?  Naw, for that kind of money, I want a new place, a new story, and new characters....Not a re-hash.

We still can't get rid of Jimmy. If we don't play as him, we need to at least have him in the game somewhere. Same for the others. I want to keep the old characters while introducing new ones. To have Jimmy as someone you interact with would make the story interesting.

For the whole Manhunt story, James Earl Cash's story was clearly ended with him gaining his freedom. To put him back in would be weird. A new story was needed. Bully is different. With how the first Bully ended the next one can go in multiple directions. Its all about what the developer sees best.

Unfortunately or me, I've grown extremely attached to the fictional New England setting. So attached I feel as it's a real place somewhere.

Contradicting my previous statement, this is a really good point.

I do agree with Chuck on not using Jimmy again, but I would still like to see him in the story somewhere even if we aren't playing as him.
