Xbox 360 Bully A Crash Ridden Mess - gamers go KRAZY

36
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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

Of course it happens. When 99% of RockStar is working on GTA4 and this is a port of an old PS2 game with not so updated graphics, you know that they didn't put so much effort in making it.

And somehow IGN gave it 8.7/10... And they gave 7/10 to AC. More proof that reviewers are definitly going downhill.

Let's hope Okami doesn't suffer the same fate. I still prefer it on my ps3, but I'll give it a rent.

8 - Geeze, must every new game need a patch
Required installations, software downloads, bugs, updates, patches... the list goes on. Why on earth do so many games get released only to be patched and updated later?

It's also ridiculous how new maps/features are planned immediately upon a games release.

I was planning on picking the title up for the 360 this Friday.

I guess I'll pick up the Wii version until it's fixed.

This is an example of a bad port. There have been a lot of those lately. This being a PS2 game should run smoothly in the 360 but I guess the developers rushed it and the users are the ones paying the price.

what is going on with games these days?
i remember back in the day when a game was released, it was released, full stop, no need for patches etc. now theres patches and updates to every single game. i understand with games like warhawk where they are adding new things often- thats a good thing, but these days loads of games glitch and are buggy until theres a new patch. whats happened to quality testing?

On nearly every system this generation. Surprisingly the DS has never really had a game that needed a patch has it?

Now I think about all the people, on this site, who would say that the PS3 was inferior to the Xbox 360 because of how (unfortunately) some of the multiplatform ports wouldn't run so well on the PS3 in comparison. I hope they now realize the error in their logic now.

I'm not trying to troll, I'm just attempting to help you realize that it was a logical fallacy. If you still want to believe that logic is true, then it would be equal to say that the Xbox 360 is not as powerful as the PS2.

I have spent about 3 hours with Bully on the 360, playing into Chapter 2, and I haven't had any issues yet. The framerate is fine except for a few places in the cutscenes and the game plays fine. I am enjoying it so far.

See what happens when you port a game from a less powerful console to a more powerful one. AKA xbox 360 to the ps3. This is proof that it is hard to go from simple console to a complex console.
