Player complaints claim the patch is breaking more than it's fixing.
Shortly after the release of Bully: Scholarship Edition for the Xbox 360 and Wii, 360 owners were noting that the game was susceptible to game freezes and various bugs taking place during regular play. Rockstar Games responded by saying it was horrified by problems in the retail build, and started putting together a patch to fix the issues found in the title.
Last week, the patch went live and would automatically download the next time players signed into Live with the game. That's where the story ends, right? Unfortunately, that is not the case as Kotaku reports gamers are complaining that the patch is doing more harm than good, by not fixing the supposedly patched issues and even adding new problems, like audio stuttering and increased frequency of freezes. That being said, others are saying they have seen minimal problems before and after the patch, and some are experiencing smooth sailing after having troubles beforehand.
Rockstar appears to have updated the PC version of Bully: Scholarship Edition, but it wasn't the major improvement many speculated.
Bully: Scholarship Edition was an Xbox 360 & Wii re-release of the PS2 classic. Still playable on modern consoles, it'll make you long for a sequel.
A sequel? More likely a remake as is the current trend? No point, everyone wants GTA VI.
It's a shame that basically all of Rockstar's catalogue apart from GTA and Red Dead is now, well, dead.
The R☆ of today is extremely unlikely to put out any project that isn't GTA because of the gaming climate and because GTA is stupidly self sustaining.
Gone are the days of a mainline title and a portable tie-in/standalone title of the same name just like publishers putting out multiple fighters at once.
Costs are too high and mainline titles have become too gargantuan to allow for "risks" on lesser titles that may not take off or sell.
Take Capcom for example, and SF6. We are unlikely to ever see a new installment of their other fighters like Rival School or Darkstalkers because SF6 is more popular, recognized and costly. A new Darkstalkers in the RE Engine would look sick as f*ck, and would visually be unlike any other fighter if done right. Sadly though, it's not as recognizable as SF and Capcom is unlikely to put so much on the line for something that might not catch.
If there’s to be a sequel it should be at the college/university level. Otherwise its just going to be a rehash of the same progression and story.
Yes, at one point, people really were angry about Night Trap.
