Who keeps funding these people to make Postal games?? Postal 1 was enough! Itw as good, but we didn't need another one.

Postal 2 makes it to the shelves, and then they made two expansions for it!!

Who the hell wants to see Postal 3?? It's not really a game, it's more like a twisted mod!

Postal 2 sucked because you could walk like 2 steps before you needed to load.

Sounds like a perfect fit for Source then.

Heh, I actually liked Postal 2 to some degree.  It was kind of low-budget feeling, and I could have done without maybe half the humor, but it was honestly pretty fun to play.  It was sandboxy and you could do all kinds of crazy things if you experimented enough.  Honestly, people give it way more of a bad rap than it deserves, and 90% of those people never even tried it.  I think the people at RWS are total idiots, especially the lead guy (who I actually interviewed back in the AOG days), but the game isn't that bad.  There's actually some funny shit in there, like playing kickball with somebody's head and having an NPC, just some random person on the street, kick it back and forth with you a few times.  That got a belly laugh out of me.

It has some bits and pieces that are interesting, but as you said it has a "sandboxy" feel. Some parts may be quasi-enjoyable, but certainly not worth a full game's price tag.

You can buy the game and expansion here (http://www.amazon.com/Postal-2-Share-The-Pain/dp/B00015H0Y8/sr=8-1/qid=1161233956/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-6779054-2072847?ie=UTF8) for like 10 bucks.  It's worth that.  I don't remember what I paid for it, but I didn't feel cheated.  I had fun.

Yeah that's not too bad, but imagine someone having paid $50 for the base game. I would have felt ripped off.

Awesome, to bad my PC sucks.

I suggest putting a donut in front of a cop's path and pissing on it. Watching them eat it and the result of eating things off the ground is hilarious.

Never played any of the games before.  Maybe I'll check 2 or 3 out sometime.  Maybe not.

Hehe I remember I went up to the roof of a bar and started peeing all over the people below :P My roommate walked by and saw this then remarked "What the hell?! What happened to games? Did they finally run out of ideas?!! Holy geez man! Why are you peeing on them? Wait, what else can you do in this game?"
