Poll of the Day > Would it be controversial to say that Rockstar can't make a good Bully game...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Every now and then talk of a Bully sequel crops up, but instead of starring Jimmy it would be female-centric. Not much talk happens, but if you sniff around you'll find a topic that people don't really like to talk about because it's a controversial one: "Would it be any good? I would've liked an all-female Ghostbusters, it just wasn't a good movie."

Let's say we take Bully as we know it, but apply a female veneer. All the themes are more or less the same, but the main characters are girls. Some people say "That's the way it should be, because boys and girls have equal capacity for equal life experiences." Some people say "No that's not the way it should be, boys and girls have unique life experiences that can never truly cross over."

But where do you stand? You don't have to actually talk about it, just vote in the poll.

Ive never heard anyone say anything of the sort

I think a Bully game with a female protagonists could be rather good especially with Rockstars sense of humor and writing.

Bully's characters were intentionally extremely cliched high school students for comedic purposes. I'm not sure gender really mattered. At most, as you are a girl, the game might feature more of you solving girls bullying others with violence.

It's probably worth noting that the rumors seem pretty strong that one of the protagonists of GTA6 is going to be female.

And I don't think Rockstar can make a good Bully game today because all of the shits online would whine about how it promotes bullying, complain about any stereotypes they included, throw a shitfit if there's any intergender violence of any kind, and generally power up the outrage engine to full output. So they'd either have to sterilize the whole thing to the point of being worthless, or they'd have to fully stand up to the backlash and potentially lose sales.

Last time, most of the people complaining about Bully were relatively conservative. This time around, the left would come in hard as well.

A Bully type game that's female lead is better off made in Japan and set in Japan.

Girls bullying girls tends to be more psychological than physical so maybe if it was more dialogue focused than combat focused?

there is never going to be a bully 2

just like there will never be another max payne, nor will rockstar even acknowledge 3 exists

With how R* favors multiplayer over single player I wouldn't expect it

Single player DLC got the shaft with V so they could milk people for all they're worth with online

Favoritism towards MP aside I wouldn't want Bully 2 anyway

GTA V and especially RDR2 felt like a chore to play

GTA had a massive map but literally nothing to do aside from yoga and the stock market (so much fun!!)

RDR2 was a boring slog to play with unnecessary micromanagement

The forests of dialogue trees might be amusing.
