Postal 2

[Unimaginative Username]

I believe the intended way to play Postal 2 was to play it as a pacifist. It shows that The Dude lives in an ass backwards, crazy town.

I disagree. The pacifist option was included (and played up on the box: "Remember, it's only as violent as you are!") to disarm the criticism that the original Postal received and maybe convince stores to carry it. The game generally rewards you for killing as many NPCs as possible and is designed to provoke you into doing it. In particular, most of the Dude's funniest lines are gated behind killing NPCs (e.g., the librarian on Tuesday).

Also note that Monday's boss-type NPCs disappear permanently once their quests are completed. With Vince, I suppose you could argue that the protestors ended up killing him even if you didn't, but Habib also disappears and there's no other explanation for this other than that you're expected to have either killed him for the milk or killed him for insulting you after you paid for the milk. Personally, I always just kill him on the way in so he can't trigger the alarm when I leave without paying, unless it's on Insane-o in which case I grab the milk and immediately head for the hidden tunnel in the back room since killing him in front of a half-dozen NPCs is a good way to get napalmed. Also note that the Dude's dialogue with the woman behind the counter at the napalm factory strongly implies that he has less than innocent plans for it ("Hello, miss. I need to buy some napalm. Uh, to kill weeds, in my lawn, as far as you know.")

Most importantly, remember what Civvie 11 said in his "Pro Postal" series: "There's ways to play this game without killing anyone. Good luck with that. That's, uh, that's not fun."

Unity’s nifty and nice to use. I hope the Nintendo Switch verion motivates them to optimize, polish, and actually finish the game. RWS have no teeth, edge, or dignity so PR2 is probably the last respectable thing they can do.


Two fur faggot avatars would lead me to believe a disgusting fucking tranny will pay $2,500 USD to permanently tarnish Postal 2's Remaster with it's visage.


This is a perfect opportunity to make RWS whore out and fuck with it's fans, the people funding them, by making some embarrassing immersion breaking fan-contribution. Picture “I’m Sorry” from Undertale.
I don't like the icons- nettings, black boots, a pink shirt, and a blue dress are a cause for alarm.

They’re unironically charging $350 bucks for reprints of the classic big boxes for the games, and a key for Redux 2. What a fucking joke.

You're seriously going to sit there and act like you wouldn't be doing anything other than hunting down fursuiters if they were added into the game just so you can bitch lol.

Postal 2 has been revamping itself for so long I actually liked 'Brain Damage' just for the art and style change.

Apocalypse weekend was a great idea too but I mean come on my dudes. Move on. I feel guilty for buying the Fudge Pack and Krotchy dolls way back when and encouraging this.

I liked brain damaged too but that's just because it's a genuinely good game regardless of its unique and fun visual style.

Personally I look forward to a new generation of autistic edgelords being introduced to this timeless classic with bug fixes and control improvements, the modern modding engine will make large scale mods far easier as well so we may very well see some DLC scale mods for the game too in the years to come. There are a lot of positives going for this remaster, the people on this site just live to bitch and complain.

With Running with Scissors fully in their decline era, Destructive Creations could print money if they took advantage of the pendulum swinging and made Hatred 2 for the Chuds.

It's too bad they're allergic to making a second game because they don't want to cash in. It's been 10 years and the demand for edgy shit is there.

Postal 2 and Hatred are not one of the same.

Fair point. New blood would be good but I don't really know what the appeal is for today's young edgelords. They have a pretty wide array of outlets inside and outside of gaming, in its day P2 was it, nothing else similar or as charming.

I may also buy the new Sunny Daze dlc for Brain Damage.

Honestly what the new edgelords need now more than anything is to touch fucking grass lol. Us 90s kids came of age with Postal 2 and fucked shit like gore sites BUT we also spent a lot of time outdoors using our imaginations as well because a lot of us didn't have gaming PCs or fast internet. The zoomers just jack off on the internet all day and it rots their brains. What RWS needs to do is bring in some new blood that's in touch with today's youth and make a postal game centered around the politics of today instead of lazy garbage like P4. A modern take on P2 would be a right step for them as a whole and would sell far better than the crap they're making IMO. Give these dumb kids something amazing they'll remember their entire lives.

Zoomer edgelord autist here, randomly stumbled upon Postal 2 a couple of months ago and played the shit out of it and got almost all of the achievements. It's become one of my favorite games and I'm cautiously excited to play redux (hoping it will keep the charm intact and get rid of the infuriating bugs/crashes)

if anything it should be Postal 1 and Hatred.

RWS announced a neat looking bullet heaven game with roguelike elements that they were planning to publish and pulled the plug after massive fan backlash due to the apparent gratuitous use of AI in it all within the span of like 2 days lol. It's a shame because it would have been a really fun game if it weren't lazily made shit.

The jank of the original Postal 2 engine was half of the charm of the game, i don't get why someone would want a Postal 2 remaster. Postal 1 redux was great though, but for a whole lot of different reasons

And yeah, they are gonna censor the SHIT out of this, they're showing that they might bend

Every game needs to be "updated" because old equals bad. This isn't even about the graphics, everything needs to be modernized because modern equals good and that's all there is to it, the audience for this isn't human as much as it is an amorphous, cultureless grey blob that wants to absorb everything and make it a part of "the modern zeitgeist". For RWS, however, this demake would be a good excuse to port the game to the console userbase, so it makes sense for them to remake the only good thing they ever released for the wider audience.

 

[Deus Exica]

They should just remake Postal 3 instead but not shit this time.

If AI was used so gratuitously and is so obviously horrible, what does it say about RWS that they didn’t notice it until after the first trailer was out?

At a glance it's just a pixel art game but the people who made it dropped some files that showed it was full of AI like a bunch of retards.

I wanted to note that the creators of XPatch for Postal actively hate how RWS has been going since postal 4, going as far to try and do everything to remove the advert in Postal 2's main menu because they dont like the game and they dont like that its being advertised going as far as to contiune to release new patches for the game, I remember being in the discord for xpatch when I still used it regularly and they had said they didnt like the decision to have to add the advert back in after removing it, heres a link to the Moddb page where one of the first change logs is that its been removed.

I reccomend using this latest version as it has way more fixes that werent added by RWS when they were originally contacted to add some of their patches to the official steam release

Idk if becoming an NPC where we can maul, shoot, burn and piss on them is the gotcha they think it is.

Everything must be modernized because of the arrogant notion that everything in the present is "enlightened" over the "backwards" past. That goes beyond gameplay but theme and messaging.
