Not the right paradigm anymore. Rockstar puts games out that have cultural resonance that they can lampoon. Bully came out right at the perfect time when school bullying and pearl clutching was at an all time high. There hasn't been enough fundamental change in that regard, for better or worse, since then for Bully 2 to make much sense beyond "but gamers want it!"
