It's not the kind of game I'd like. I'm not too interested in it.
Is this the one where you get to basically re-enact Columbine?
If so, then no. Thats stupid and not cool.
For my opinion on this, you can look here. :eep:
"As a troublesome schoolboy, you'll laugh and cringe as you stand up to bullies, get picked on by teachers, play pranks on malicious kids, win or lose the girl, and ultimately learn to navigate the obstacles of the fictitious reform school, Bullworth Academy. "Quote:

Then, no It isn't like that then. I guess it sounds okay, but no matter what, parents will be complaing about it.Quote:

You arent the bully, your standing UP TO THE BULLYS. Why would parents be outraged?
Because its made by Rockstar. Parents will always whine about their games, whether its trying to get good messages across or not.

i love this game already!
I'd only play it if the player was the bully.
so this is going to be like GTA in reform school...why is that a big deal...the only reason parents are going to get up in arms is because it features a youngster as the protagonist and he does some questionable things....but what will the esrb rating be?? they hated GTA because it was so violent but it was for a mature audience
Yeah, it's not like GTA at all. Mission based, but not like GTA. No drive by shootings, no drug deals, no prostitution, yeah. And it looks like one of those bad school-themed movies from the 1970s that they make you watch in school now so you learn a lesson or something.
I want it.
I think it is just getting bad hyped for 3 reasons
1. Its rockstar, self explainitory
2. The name
3. Jack Thompson is going on the WTF NOOBS! DA GAME WILL C00RPT 0R KIDS FREVR!
but yea, i read the game informer preview, and i dont want to get it, but its an intresting concept.
Reminds me of the harry potter games in some ways too
First off, violence isn't rampant as it is in GTA, there will be few weapons, and those that do exist (baseball bats, etc.) will degrade after a few swings. In addition, their are consequences for said behaviour. Rockstar knows about the heat that's going to come with the game, so they're being careful. Personally, I think it looks interesting and I'll probably give it a shot.
What's funny is that Rockstar really hasn't released a lot of information about the game and people are trying to have it banned a year before it's release when very little is know about it.
I don't see it not getting banned eventually. Parents are going to complain til they get their way, kids shouldn't be playing this stuff in the first place.
The ESRB rating is there for a reason. Parents won't have any ground to stand on, especially if it's rated mature. Free Speech!

Oh and yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
It's an interesting idea; sort of like Skool Daze for the new millenium. I doubt I'll buy it, but as with a any Rockstar product it's worth keeping an eye on.
Its ridic making a game that involves bullying others. Im not going near the game, its a horrid subject to market.
I've been waiting for over a year for this game, the magazine i read has had in the release lists for aggggggggggggggggggggggggggges and every month it will be coming out next month. I saw some good videos on ign.

Anyway I'm vaguely interested in this. I'm half-tempted to get it just to piss off everyone making a big deal about it.
Read about the game before you make assumptions thar the game is specifically about bullying other kids. Yeah, your character CAN bully other kids, but the whole premise of the game is to get the different groups of kids (Nerds, Goths, Preps, etc...) to go against the bullies and stand up for themselves.
Also, an interesting tidbit - Rockstar has said their will be no swearing in the game. My guess is that this could easily be headed for a T rating.

Clouded sky: "despite the confirmed absence of blood, death, and bad language in general in the game"
A quote from wikipedia on bully.
Huzzah!
Well it's clearly not remotely realistic, in that case :pQuote:

It's an interesting concept. I may get it when I learn more about it.
Oh my God I've waited for this game for about 6 months. The concept to beat up kids is literally mind blowing. In fact, I wouldn't mind blowing up minds if some guy punches me while minding my own business. Man I wanna just kick some ass.
This game seems awesome. I'm gonna get it once it comes out.
I'll be getting it rather soon after the initial release.
