Be the change you want to see in the world!

Postal 2 Complete, the legendary sandbox of sadistic stunts, roaring rampage of rage, and medley of mindless mayhem, is now available on GOG.com 60% off until Thursday, October 18 at 10:59 GMT.

Do you feel like your life lacks meaning and brings you no satisfaction? Is your neighborhood full of annoying people, filthy animals, and irritating noise? Does your job bring you down with repetitive menial task, one day after another? Do you believe that everyone around you deserves to be violently punished for their shortcomings? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, visit your local Church of Divine Tranquility of the Blessed Lotos for spiritual advisory. We'll teach you how to cope with the annoyances of everyday life, by means of meditation and herbal tea. Enter the path of enlightenment and make the world a better place by making yourself a better human being! Or there's another option...

Postal 2 Complete, the poster boy for videogame-related controversy, is the 3D first person perspective shooter sequel to the infamous 2D slasher, Postal: Classic and Uncut. Calling it a shooter isn't actually that precise, as shooting firearms is only one of the means to enforce your will on the town folk of Paradise, Arizona. The arsenal includes a scythe to slice, a sledgehammer to smack, a can of gasoline for that extra spark, a cow (don't ask), and a pair of scissors to run around with. The large open-ended world is yours to explore freely, so you can find the multitude of secrets in the cleverly-designed locations. The game offers tons of carefully manufactured cheesy humor, tongue-in-cheek real-life references, and more than one way to reach the goal in each of the many missions.

Exercise your free will and good conscience to achieve the blessed state of inner peace and harmony with the Universe in Postal 2 Complete, for only $3.99!

Can you please tone it down? It's ok to not like it, just as it's ok to like it. I, for one, think it's really awful but I wouldn't insult someone who disagrees with me.

Are you an RWS employee or something? We get it. You like the game.

Uh, didn't you just called someone an idiot for taking the violence seriously?

Though maybe insult was a bad choice of words. Point is, you're being pretty rude. Not everyone shares your taste.

Well, I'm just pissed off because people don't buy this game just because they read some shitty review on Gamespot or IGN, and it's not fair. The game really is unique(in a bad way, some say) and people should at least give it a chance before dismissing it as "immature" or "silly" or something like that...

/me unzips pants and pisses on womans leg

Why? Did you develop it? Are you being paid for promoting it? If not, why not just let other people have their taste as you have your own? And no, I'm not scared of violence. There are violent games that are quite good. This is not one of them. It's just childish, unnecessary and plain not my idea of fun.

I think I'll pass this one for now. jpolastre's wallet sighs with relief.
I could buy it eventually, but it's not high on my wishlist and it's not like I'm running out of games to play. By the time I reduce my backlog by half (considering I don't buy anything more, which is pure nonsense) this game will have been on a couple more promos, PWYW, code giveaways and possibly even abandonware sites if its current IP owner goes belly up.

Already picked it up on a promo very recently...ago.

Just get it! It's good, crazy, disturbingly delicious fun.

I don't get all the hate, why so picky?

No hate at all, I just have too many games already and too little time to play them :)

Besides, while I don't dislike the FPS-like mechanics I lean more towards adventures and strategy (a la desperados) first, then action (very loosely defined - I'm putting Earthworm Jim and GTA under this genre), RPGs, RTSs, and only then FPSs. That's why Postal isn't higher on my playlist.

Edit: sorry, I meant Postal 2

Gary Coleman is the game's final boss. Why would anyone not want to play a game that features the best actor in history?

fortune_p_dawg: For everyone who thinks Steam is awesome, your opinion is wrong; completely and utterly incorrect in every conceivable way.
Except opinions cannot be incorrect, because they're subjective.

fortune_p_dawg: U MAD?!?!!!
You mad is my favorite internet may-may, it allows me to reply to a counter-point without putting a single bit of thought to it and still feel good about myself.


Also, why is this game getting loads of hate in this thread? It looks like good fun. GOG's got tons of RPGs, Point-and-clicks, and Strategy games, what's wrong with some sandbox violence?

This game is awful. I wouldn't recommend it, even if it was for free. There are better games out there worth spending your time on.

Gameplay is boring and the humour comes across as lame and childish. From urinating on people or using cats on the end of your shotgun, it either gets old fast and was unfunny to begin with. From what I remember, the voice acting is terrible, the main character's is especially annoying and bad. Postal 2 does lack a bit of polish.

From memory the town itself isn't that big, but still has lots of loading screens when you move into other areas of town. It breaks any immersion you get from playing a sandbox game. Also, going around town is tedious, since you move pretty slow and there is no vehicles or anyway to speed up travelling as you perform your dull daily chores.

I'm going to stop now, its just bringing back way too many bad memories. To think that far superior games like GTA 3, Vice City, Outcast and Mafia were released years before Postal 2 is just embarrassing to be honest for RWS.
