The Ending

[SWEGTA]

The ending for Bully was a big letdown in my opinion.
You confront Gary, it's dark, it's raining and dramatic music is playing as Gary's true colors reveal themselves more than ever.
Constantly reminding you of how you were all just a pawn in his game as he throws bricks at you.

But once you go face-to-face with the bastard he just fights you and loops the few fight/ending-audiofiles he have.
Until you all fall through the roof, he gets expelled, you have a small chat with Crabblesnitch and go outside to make out with your girlfriend who is now magically sporting a custom-made Bullworth Uniform.

Gary was too easy to beat in my opinon.  And we dont know what happend to Gary after he got expelled which is bad.  i was hoping that he would spawn in the Asylum after the game.

[SWEGTA]

Gary's character was pretty much just thrown away after the ending.
Along with all major characters/clique leaders. That is unless you modify the game to enable them all in freeroam.

[Mohamed The Kowalski]

Pete Kowalski was never shown as the Headboy, and the game didn't show how he would deal with the different cliques. How could Rockstar do that?!

[SWEGTA]

They saw the first opportunity they had at an ending and took it unfortunately.

We all agree that many things about parts of Bully like this just plain suck. 
But let's face it, there was just things in the game that was lax.  If the series would have been continued, maybe those things would have been improved, who knows.  But it's not like it was a huge moneymaker anyway.

I don't feel that Rockstar ever planned to continue the series, just as I don't feel that the Manhunt series will ever be continued.  So, maybe it's now just a Classic game, never to be repeated.

Bogus, Chuck!
R* can bring back the franschise to lfie easily. It just takes a spoonful of sugar and faith.
They brought RDR back, right?

Revolver 2004, Redemption, 2010 (iNorth America dates) = 6 years.
Bully is going on 8 years now.  And it's not the Old Wild West, Bully is about kids bullying kids.
RDR is about an adult killing bad men.  There's a big difference there.

There has been a big hoopla about bullied kids in the US in the years since the release of Bully.
It's been kind of a 'hot button' topic for several years now.  I feel that is the biggest reason that a Bully 2 would be doomed in this country, at least.   

[SWEGTA]

What about the Postal series? They got a lot of heat over what you could do in those games.
COD gets lot of negative backlash over the fact that they obsess over nazi-zombies.

Bullying would just be another brick in the wall.

[BloodChuckZ]

But not a KIDS wall, is what I'm getting at. 
Beating / Shooting adults ?  Fine.
Killing Zombies ?  Hell yeah.
But not Kids.
All I'm saying.

[Sphinx]

But the Kids fight back, and can kick your ass sometimes.

The ending to Bully...

It was fun and suspensful chasing Gary, and being pelted with bricks. The pre-fight cutscene was nicely done. I beat Gary in like 3 minutes on my first try, and that was it. They fall through a skylight, and suddenly they're in the office. Crabblesnitch is all like "nice jimmy awesome your so cool" and Jimmy goes outside. Zoe all of a sudden got the news that she's going back to school, and is already wearing her uniform. They slobber all over each other while everyone's like "woaw jimmy yer so cewl". I just sat there, thinking.

The fuck is this shit?

[BloodChuckZ]

Yeah, I was like, "This is Waaaaay too easy."  WTF.

[Mohamed The Kowalski]

I actually like easy games, I don't like GTA a lot because some of the missions in them get on my nerves to the extent that I get VERY VERY mad, which is something I don't like. That's why I was happy when I finished the GTA games but didn't replay them a lot. Bully, on the other hand, was a piece of cake for me. I liked how all of the missions were fairly easy compared to GTA and it never got on my nerves or made me mad at all. That's why I love to replay Bully every once in a while, knowing that it would be easy and that I won't regret replaying it and quit playing it. That's my opininon.

[SWEGTA]

What about the Galloway Away mission?
That was pure torture!

[BloodChuckZ]

^ I actually liked that one.
Mo does a real good assessment of what is wrong with video games today.  These things are supposed to be fun and not frustrating.  We don't want them too easy, but we don't want them too hard, either.  We want these to be interesting too, with some sort of storyline, and we want to be able to carry along that storyline as we progress.  We want mystery and surprises and plot twists and discoveries.  Those are the games really worth replaying.
