I've had this game to play for a while now (on PS2), and I'm a big Rockstar games fan. So I'll try and join you guys this month.

Although we know it over here by its real title: Canis Canem Edit

Cool, despite being a big fan of most of Rockstar's games, I've never really played this one.  Looking forward to it!

I'll probably be playing on the recently released PS4 version.

I've only managed to get through one Rockstar game (Vice City), but I always eye this game when I see it in stores. Looks like I'll have to pick up a copy.

[douglie007]

Im in. I hope I have time to finish it.

[MetalFRO]

I'm going to tentatively say I'm in.  Never played much Rockstar stuff, as I never bought into the GTA hype, though I do have Red Dead Revolver and want to dig into it.  I picked up Bully a year or so ago when I started up PS2 games like they were going out of style, so I might as well have a good excuse like this to play it, right?

I'll be honest. I'm not a big fan of the GTA games either. I've tried them and have no personal hang-ups about the content or anything, they just weren't for me.  However, I played Bully many years ago and really enjoyed it a lot. Hope you'll give it a shot FRO.

Bully is currently 75% off on Steam for the next two days.

You can count me in officially. It's 60% off on PSN now through Monday 4/25 at 11am PT. They're ports of the PS2 version, not the Scholarship Edition, but at only $4 on PS3 and $6 on PS4, can't really complain.

[Schlibby]

As I can only play console games at the weekend due to my job I got started this evening. Although I only had just over half an hour to spare.

Looking very good so far though!

[Boshamp]

I will participate in this playthrough. Been having the Scholarship Edition for some time now, but haven't made the time to play it yet. Overall, it is a pretty short title, so I can definitely get through it with you all. I would even be able to slow my pace with it to keep the conversation more alive on the forum while I am also working through other stuff on the 360 for my competition and Xbox goals for the year. I look forward to starting this with you guys!

Are people going for 100% or just completing the story missions.

For me it's got to be 100%. Always go for 100% on rockstar's open world games. With all those side missions and the fact typically you can't miss anything I feel I've got to experience everything!

PS - really enjoying this game so far. I'm showing about 25% completion at the moment

[GrayGhost81]

OH wow it's May already!

Away we go!

I will certainly not be going for 100%, but it's awesome that open-world games, when done well, can make such an endeavor so enticing!

I haven't played in a few weeks (I put in a about six hours when I first chose the game for this playthrough) so I need to play catch-up with myself! Week one checkpoint coming soon!

[douglie007]

ready to GO!

[Pam]

I'm 2.6% done, haha. It's alright so far. I'm not a huge fan of Rockstar, their games seem so mean-spirited, and running around punching people isn't really interesting gameplay for me. I like the mini-games for each class though. I'm going to be the bully with 100% attendance who never gets in trouble.
