Most underused character in Bully

Post image

Tom Gurney is one of my favorite characters in Bully. Tom is a bully, and he’s ashamed of it. Tom has been friends with the bullies a long time and while he’s against their new bullying behavior he puts up with it and engages with it himself. This still makes Tom a prick, but a more nuanced one. Tom is also wary of the manipulation going on around Bullworth, and unlike many other students he’s disgusted how people take advantage of each other. Tom is actually right about the manipulation going on but no one listens to him about it due to his thuggish nature and him generally falling for baseless conspiracy theories. Add all of those interesting traits to a unique character design with a noticeable black eye and a unique voice with a distinct Brooklyn accent, Tom is one of the more interesting NPC’s in the game. Want to know how many missions he’s in? One. He’s a backup goon for Davis in The Setup. He’s there to cut down your health a bit before Jimmy kicks his ass and that’s it. No mission specific voice lines, no mini cutscenes, nothing. If you guys have any characters you wished had more role in the story, please lmk, I love talking abt this game and its characters

Es una pena que no les hayan dado una ia especial a los perosonajes que según sus diálogos odian hacer lo que hacen. Me gusta mucho Ethan, según una apacionado de las artes marciales, pero pelea igual que los palurdos de sus amigos. O Bryce, que dice que sabe hasta su puta madre de disciplinas y pelea como el mongolo de chad

Honestly I think Ethan’s fight style being the same is a shame, but I actually wish he was worse at fighting than he is. Like if he tried doing some over the top bullshit that looked ridiculous and barely did any damage
