    Bully:SE is on sale right now for 50% off on steam. I seem to recall there were rumblings that it was a bad port, but i really want to play this game. Any of you duders played it, and how was the experience?

    Played it recently and uhh.. it's still a pretty bad port. I'd advise that you buy it on the consoles. Even then it's a bad port on the 360.. The PS2 version is the only good one left. :(

    I'd imagine a lot of games are unplayable on an OS that isn't currently officially supported by the majority of console port teams.

    @smallmanoncampus:

    8, but it apparently also has a lot of problems with W7 64-bit.

    I have it on PC, but I never got it to work. I don't know.  
     
    I need to try again. Haven't tried it on this new PC yet- sounds like it wont work on this PC either, though. I've had it on steam since last year or something.
     
    Worked fine on PS2 when I got it a long time ago but I don't know where that copy is. I think my sister stole it or i gave it to her or something

    Running perfectly for me (Steam version). Just don't ever, EVER try to play it with a mouse and keyboard, it's tailored for analog sticks.

    I bought it last month for kicks. The mouse / keyboard controls are horrible. You have to play it with a controller. Also, there's audio problems like looping and overlapping dialogs that can get pretty disruptive. Great game, just poor port.
