I figure a red dead in Australia would deal a lot with the aboriginals and how hosed they got so that might also get it stopped there. I actually don't know much about Australias bloody history and how they react to people bringing it up. America pretty much embraced ours.

I think it's more that game publishers tend to use Australia's censor board as a testing ground to see how far they can go with certain elements before a game gets 'refused classification'. Our annoying strict censorship tends to ban things with sexual violence and drug use, despite us having an R18+ rating. e.g. a QTE sequence in South Park: The Stick of Truth was replaced by a sad koala because it involved penetrating Randy with an anal probe and games like Fallout 3 had the drug morphine renamed to Med-X.

As a case in point, DayZ was recently RC in Australia because of its inclusion of cannabis - nevermind that DayZ's been around forever.

Bully was an amazing game, but times have REALLY changed - they changed the name in England because 'Bully' was so charged. I doubt in 2019 we get a game with a literal title of 'Bully' - which is perfectly okay because everyone knows that video games are the cause of all forms of violence.  Really though, that would be a total lightening rod for the crazies to rail about, doubt Rockstar wants the headache.

I always liked how ironic the uproar was when in the game you are actually an anti-bully for the most part, since it's you and the geeks against the preps/jocks/greasers and later on, the townies.

Yeah. But it started to become really uncomfortable when some of those geeks got really into nazi iconography, talked about white genocide, and how those SJWs were ruining their favorite video games by including modestly dressed women and people of color.

While I love OG Bully, it can be pretty mean-spirited and sexist at times. It would be nice to see less taking creepy photos of teenage girls or stealing their underwear and fat shaming stuff. For as serious as RDR2 was, I honestly found the funny bits in the game to be the most I've actually laughed at a Rockstar game in some time. I know Bully 2 and GTA VI still should be wacky to some degree, but I hope that the company has actually grown up a bit.

Like, the series is called BULLY not "The Ashamed Virgin Nerd" Like you're not even asking for nuance. You just want the exact opposite of what a bully is.

I mean, I think I want the specific things I cited as being gross in the original Bully to not be in a hypothetical sequel? The whole thing with Bully is that you're not really playing as a bully. The actual story mostly involves you standing up to bullies and bringing the school together. Stuff like stealing or pushing kids around in the open world overall feels cartoonish with the exaggerated tone of the game. There's something about pinching girls on the butt that feels a bit uneasy. I think it's because the actual real world equivalent of throwing a kid in a locker is a lot grosser and more violent than what we see in the game. It's like how on the Simpsons, you don't literally operate on the idea that Homer Simpson is attempting to murder his son. It's a cartoony abstraction of dad anger, and the open world bullying is a cartoony abstraction of 14 year old boys being jerks to each other. But with pinching girls' butts or taking creepy photos of them or publicly displaying creepy photos--That's not like an exaggeration of something. That's just literally what it is. There's also just stuff that doesn't play. Like there's at least one gay panic joke with Jimmy that's fine and not the end of the world like the fat shaming stuff doesn't add anything while seeming kind of lovely. But in general, I just want Rockstar to move away from tired stereotypes or meanness for their humor. Like there's a reason that the hipster conversation was cited as being this really well liked moment in GTA V. It was strong because it was a moment that relied on the actual characters. Bully has some of that. "What kind of adult drinks in front of children?" "A parent?" is a really good and clever exchange or stuff like Billy's love for his art teacher coming out through his paintings. I want more of that actual clever and fun humor and not just shock or mean moments. Timeless Appeal fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Aug 21, 2019 |

Here in Germany it was called 'canis canem edit' meaning dog eats dog, which was a great name and they will propably adopt again for at least a selected number of countries.

I'm pretty surprised that they didn't just call it Bullworth Academy or simply Bullworth for those markets in which Bully would have been less appropriate

For a game with such a strong narrative and emphasis on realism it sure is jarring that a plot point as dumb as "someone smashed the box, guess nobody can contribute to the gang now lol" exists Not that it matters too much to me considering how the moment you get to Beaver Hollow the entire gang turns into a bunch of douchebag ingrates and I already have my fast travel map

Progress to saving Micah (ugh) so you get the second side holster, and then upgrade the camp so you can fast travel. That is when you stop doing the story missions and you just soak it all in.

I don't really want to play as Marston too much further beyond that - I played RDR1 to 100% and am fine with leaving off with him there. I'm at the point where I've unlocked the second holster and fishing and - well, I'm fine with that. That's enough. I'm just going to hunt, fish, play poker, assemble ridiculous outfits at the trapper, and live off the land. I'm perfectly fine with using it as nothing but an "Old West Mountain Man Simulator" to unwind after work.

Do you mean to say you didn't finish the epilogue? It's a decent substantial part of the game, and it helps with setting up the events of Red Dead Redemption 1. What's more, you hang out with the coolest of the gang members (and Uncle), spend more time in parts of the map that you don't spend much during the campaign, and build a house!

No, I finished the epilogue, but that took it far enough for me. I didn't want to continue too much further as-is after that. In retrospect it feels like I went through the game too quickly. I want to stay as Arthur in the early stages longer.
