Again, Postal 1, possibly, maybe. Postal 2, however, varies up its objectives and ways in which the NPCs will aggravate you, and in the later parts, things escalate quite a bit. Plus there's quite a bit of campy humour.


Postal 1 is "shoot x armed dudes". Postal 2 is "get an autograph from Gary Coleman while not trying to go on a rampage because of people cutting in the line and insulting you".

For some reason I never got bored with Postal 1 which puzzles me because on paper it really is the void of variety. I still play it all the time and never get sick of it.

Well, gameplay wise it plays better, I'd say, even with the tank controls. Postal 2 was never a good FPS or even a good game, really. What makes Postal 2 fun is the outrageousness of its game world, and the variety in it.

I remember one of the selling points for P1 when it came out was the painted backgrounds which still stands out, for better or worse. I always loved it and thought it gave the game an added starkness, if that's a real word. :P I've said this a million times in here but my biggest regret is losing the box. XD That thing was so cool.

Well Postal 1 and 2 weren't asking to be sold for 20 dollars now were they? They are 5.99 and 9.99 respectively.

I bought it a day or two after it hit the shelves and I think I paid $20 for it. Of course that was a while ago.

True but I was talking about GOG exclusively and why they carry Postal 1 which is the same as Hatred and prone to repetitiveness and the like so hence why GOG probably passed on Hatred not feeling it was worth the 20 dollar price tag for what you got i.e. a poorly optimized, fairly generic, short 4-5 hour shooter with next to no replay value,

Indeed, despite all the stereotypes, ironically, Postal 2 is more inclusive than many AAA games -- for example, by having a variety of body types. The one other game that positively surprised me in that regard was Witcher, btw.

Yeah, my brain is shutting down. :P Shit, I'm never going to survive the season. :P

Actually, the first expansion pack was 20, the Postal 2 Share the Pain original game was 20 as well, but I actually bought 3 copies including Steam's much, much later final acceptance onto the digital platform...
Yeah, you may not even know about the hunter game removed, I'll refrain from posting it, they removed it because it went a bit too far.

I'm even loving Witcher 3, but honestly I have no clue when I'll be able to finish it.

Retail.. I am talking about what Running with Scissors put them up for digitally which was 6 dollars for Postal 1 complete and uncut and 10 for Postal 2 plus all expansions. 6 to 10 dollars for two complete versions of games, especially 2 that are older and have somewhat of a history is not the same as asking for 20 bucks for a prettier looking new game that is the basically the same damn thing as one your selling for 6 dollars just with a few minor additions i.e. open levels and destructible environments.

This is what I get for not just straight out and stating as such since people(no offense tinyE) can't bloody take the time and read my post and the post I was responding too and think about the context which was "Me saying that it probley was rejected on GOG because of length and it's repetitive nature along with not really adding to much to keep a play hooked." To which jefequeso cleary brought up Postal 1 and 2 being here and pretty much being the same thing, I said clearly since it's right bloody there in my reply saying "Yes but they weren't submitted for possible sale for 20 bucks"(paraphrasing)

None taken. :D I'll harbor the responsibility on that one, but I'm still not taking the rap for the Lindberg baby. :D

That's an awful lot of considerations, and opinion, but what did you want from a genocide game aimed at making killing seem statistical, and numeric?

Maybe you, enjoyed the Beta uncut AO version of Manhunt 2, no? I sure did, see, that's where I connect beyond just Postal, except this is more capable than Postal, and gives me a fond memory of a classic called Mercenaries 2, which none combine.

Right, again, lots of making anything fit and not sense.

The release of games in the old days not even being considered, plus inflation, alone just wipes that out.

Okay here is the point right here X and here is where your going -> waaay the fuck over there. Face it your are making a lousy counter argument as it has shit to do with what I said which was GOG based on the evidence we have seen and heard of Hatred is it's just a bland, generic, repetitive game that has glitches and poor optimization, that adds little beyond the controversy surrounding it and is what 4 to 5 hours of just running around shooting people and nothing else, plus has a stupid health mechanic that makes the game tedious and a poor level mechanic where unless you earn "respawn tokens" you will have to restart the entire level which makes a repetive game a tedious one that is asking for 20 bucks. What in the 9 hells does that have to do with that silly and poorly thought out counter argument?

And don't bother responding to this and hope for a reply from me because looking at your posts here your just rediculous, you insult people, offer poor counter points and bring nothing new to the discussion. So there is no point in wasting time trying to have a point-counter point discussion on things because I can see doing so with you will end up becoming a great example of the old adage "Never argue with a idiot, all that will happen is they will drag you to their level and beat you with experience. "
