10 UNSETTLING Facts About Your Favourite Games

10. A Brutal End For Jimmy (Bully)

If you've ever wanted to become a societal menace in a GTA-style romp without the excessive violence, then Bully is the game for you. Rockstar's light-hearted and less violent alternative to their flagship series is a delightfully charming game that doesn't rely on murder and mayhem to keep you entertained. 

That said, this campy school simulator came close to featuring one of the most brutal, violent, and disturbing character deaths Rockstar has ever rendered.  

A selection of cut dialogue assets (documented here) reveals that the game nearly featured a death animation that would have seen Jimmy, the game's protagonist, plunged into a vat of acid. Yes, you read that right; poor little Jimmy came close to dissolving like a dead body in Walter White's basement. 

This horrendous fate would have occurred in the "Showdown at the Plant" mission during the boss fight with Edgar. Upon being beaten, Jimmy would have been thrown into the vat, as seen in dialogue like "Poor little Jimmy, taking an acid bath." Now, that's way more sickening than skateboarding around and pelting people with a slingshot.
