The Consequences of Bullying Are Inspiring Silent Enemy

So cute with your "tinkley" music. Shame there are no ex-bullies on the staff, give it a bit of authenticity.

looks interesting

does COD exploit nationalism for the sake of profit? Consider also if these guys were about profit they would be doing a free to play farmville for tablets.

True, that is why I said I didn't know how I felt. It could be good once I actually play the game but going by a trailer that focus's mostly on how the dev team was bullied does not really give me much to go on at this point.

@binhoker:

No.

Emotional manipulation can count as good storytelling, though.

@fiberpay: I think the difference is that in most games the player is in a position of relative power and control, whereas a person being bullied is anything but. If this game ends with the player being revealed to be some sort of prophesied hero then maybe. If this devolves into a power fantasy then it will be like any other game, but if it captures the feeling of loneliness and powerlessness that bullying inspires then it could be something special.

@zerov2 This topic never goes away because every year a new generation of parents is exposed to the problem through their children, and every year that group of parents raises the same objection that their parents did before them. I think its better that this topic stays in the public consciousnesses as long as it takes to get rid of the problem, rather than brush off the problem.

Is emotional manipulation for the sake of future profit bullying?

man I know bullying isn't cool but jesus I'm tired of hearing about it all the fucking time

I don't know how I feel about this. It feels a little bit like a marketing ploy. In any game you could say the enemies are the bullies.

Get a haircut, hippies.

Pure hatred is different to bullying.

oh gimme a break

Love the idea

Also I would love a sequel to Bully.

neat!

I miss quests :(
