Xbox 360 Bully A Crash Ridden Mess - gamers go KRAZY

It may have only been available for a mere day in the US, but reports are already hitting that a multitude of gamers are finding themselves suffering from numerous crashes with Bully: Scholarship Edition on the Xbox 360.

Forums have been proverbially lit up with eager gamers discovering that split second freezes are an annoying regular occurrence, and full blown crashes forcing a full blown restart altogether.

Bit of a screw up really considering it's essentially a port of a blooming PS2 game. The shouts are a little too loud to be a handful of 360s about to suffer from the RRoD, so it seems that there could just be a major problem.

That sucks. Here is to hoping GTAIV runs smoothly on both consoles. There are two things you could do about this though.

1) You could always get the PS2 or Wii version

or

2) Wait for an official fix from Rockstar for the 360 version.

InMyOpinion5894d ago

I remember having troubles with Oblivion freezing on me, until Bethesda released a patch that solved the problems.

leon765893d ago

But but but....i thought the x360 versions of all games had not any problems of freezing....I thought x360 versions of the games didn't need any patches..........At least Oblivion in my PS3 never froze and didn't need any patch at all........And Bully in my PS2 too..............

t-0_ot-5894d ago

Oh, man, I thought about getting this on my 360..Missed out on it for the Ps2.. But, hopefully they will release some sort of patch to fix it..

decapitator - I don't think GTA will have a problem considering it is a brand new make of a game.. Bully was a port from a last gen game and going to two different console brands..

Hmm.. I wonder if this is the canned xBox version of Bully?

cartman3135894d ago

Yeah hopefully they fix the issues for you guys. I have the PS2 one and it's a fun game.

Xeikon5894d ago

I think it's best to avoid all PS2 ports for the 360. As both Tomb Raider Anniversary and Phantasy Star Universe have major framerate issues and a few glitches.

NO_PUDding5894d ago

They are just very different architectures.

A lot of PS3 users have had to put up with early crappy ports, so the differences are even big in current gen consoles.

mighty_douche5894d ago

I dont believe it, MS test everything to death, they have the single greatest QA department of any company.

Us brits love our sarcasm.

eitherway, im sure a patch will be released shortly to clear the problem up.

Palodios5894d ago

kind of like how a patch for ps3 orange box and lair came along shortly? Add-ons, and fixing-the-entire-game patches are way different. Fixing a big mess takes some time, it probably won't be done until after GTA launches.

Syko5894d ago

Damn that sucks, I was looking forward to getting this game. However with Mass Effect still needing to be beat and "Bring Down the Sky" on the 10th I will be busy. Not to mention that I will be getting Hot Shots Golf and Lost Odyssey this month....Oh well will have to grab this one out of the bargin bin now.

Bully: Scholarship Edition - Desperately in Need of a Sequel

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.

TheBrainZ57d ago

A sequel? More likely a remake as is the current trend? No point, everyone wants GTA VI.

kevco3357d ago

It's a shame that basically all of Rockstar's catalogue apart from GTA and Red Dead is now, well, dead.

Redgrave57d ago

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.

Rebel_Scum57d ago

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.

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia652d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest652d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo652d ago (Edited 652d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2652d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
