I gotta say, this is a pretty disapointing thing to happen. The Postal games really shouldn't find new ways of distribution. They are sadistic and stupid, the violence is celebrated to a point where it is simply disgusting.
In a GTA, at least you decide yourself whether or not you kill innocents, this game lets you no choice and actually encourages you to masacre people. What is fun about going postal in a kindergarten?
Meh.

Because I i find the game's contents offensive. Normally, I don't have an issue with violence in games. I wished it would be less extensively used in games, but in the end I don't really care. With Postal it is different though, it takes this to a whole new level that just doesn't sit well with me. Whatever, I seem to be the only who thinks so anyway.

You are kidding, right? If you ever actually played the game (2nd part), you'd have known, that killing anyone is strictly optional and is encouraged in no way.

Except for it being fun and hilarious.

Um, so? It's a game, and GoG's distributing it for those who are interested and have yet to play it. (like me)
So really, I'm praising GoG for this.

That still isn't a reply to his point... if you are offended by it, don't play it.
Why shouldn't those not offended be stopped from playing?

Come on gang, you can be disappointed and offended in this title and also *not* want to stop others from playing.

GTA I am kind of offended by, personally. But the Postal series is just amusing. If they tried to make Postal 'serious' I probably wouldn't like it anymore.

Pst, pst, let's keep our little secret between us :).
But seriosly, that is the meaning of freedom in computer games - if you think doing something is fun - do it. Noone is going to be hurt because of that. And the last time I was beat up badly was by thugs, not by nerds.

It's a toy. Grow up.

Dude, have you ever played in any other part of GTA than IV? In older parts of this series you didn't have any choices too - so no reason to defend it... Anyway as someone already said, don't like it - don't buy it. No more cry.
