Oh that one, I was following some of that yesterday. Dev that's claiming persecution doesn't want to show screenshots or anything to prove that Valve is trying to censor their product. It's pretty ridiculous that Valve would censor almost anything. Valve embraced Hatred and the porn games. So this dev might be a potential lolcow.


First the HUD is kind of fucky but they could hide behind that it's an Alpha or whatever. Secondly, it looks like they reused code from Brutal Doom and other GZDoom projects. The animation where you grab a guy is 100% recycled from Brutal Doom.
 
Every edgyboi will eventually become establishment bootlicking faggots. Bad Religion and Green Day both made fuck drampf music videos and told unvaccinated fans they weren't welcome at their faggy concerts.

Generally they only do this after becoming rich though. Mike isn't living in no mansion.
 
RWS is still crying about Postal 3, but people are forgetting THEY wrote the script for the damn thing. All Attila did was actually make it into the game, or rather failed to anyways. All the dead baby jokes and other cringe in that game came from the RWS, no matter how hard they will try to deny it, and that cringe lives on today with Postal 4.
Funnily enough, Postal: Brain Damaged looked fine to me. Humor is a bit outdated and low hanging fruit sometimes, but at least it's funny. Get these devs to do some writing for you or just fully take over at this point, RWS are hacks and Postal 2 was lightning in a bottle they won't be able to recreate anytime soon(especially with trannies on their dev team)

It's getting to the point where I'm second guessing myself and wondering if POSTAL was *ever* funny or if it just had excellent gameplay and atmosphere and the "funny" part slid by unquestioned. POSTAL 4 damned by being a *bad* buggy mess with a dead copy-pasted nightmare of a map.
The "funniest" parts I remember were either well done easter eggs or parts where they ripped on people who deserved it. Everything else was painfully on-the-nose and worn out.
Joking about a Chinese restaurant serving dog was funny once. Was it really funny enough to repeat it in every POSTAL 2 expansion?

Now you're getting it.

Though I wouldn't say the gameplay was excellent per se. Maybe if gunplay wasn't so anemic.

I don't think Postal 2 was ever especially well written when it came to jokes. The Dude's one liners were pretty okay, what made the game humorous or entertaining were usually a result of NPCs behaving off kilter.

Gunplay in 2 is weak but fucking around in the world and messing with the AI is great fun. Melee weapons are genuinely solid and very satisfying. The shovel sound effect still gets me rock hard.

That's the other thing I forgot to mention. Rick Hunter has excellent line delivery.

Also, the machete and axe are two of the best weapons ever made. Running around chopping off peoples limbs from afar like a ninja.

RWS's take on online only games:

This feels unnecessarily edgy to me while trying to play it safe.

FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT but don't actually fight lol jk.

There's a lot to unpack here. First, it's as safe opinion as possible - "you should own shit you pay for". It's meaningless Reddit bait.
Second, if you bought Postal 4 on Steam then you already don't own it. Will RWS pull the game from Steam and put it on something like GOG? I heavily doubt it, also if Postal 4 has DRM that requires online connection then it's just as bad.
Third, the meme, besides being a non existent strawman, is depicting violence towards known right wing personality (at least supposedly considering Crowder is a faggot canadian).

Hey RWS, here is a better meme:

RWS hired a tranny. There's nothing more really to say about them. They are a bunch of faggots
I will do you one better: Back during Gamergate, Postal 2 did a joke where Dude gets to literally piss on the grave of journalistic integrity, referencing the pretty obvious. As far as I remember, that was removed due to backlash.
RWS has been cucked for nearly 10 years now
 
See, the thing is, Postal 2 hasn't really ever been funny at-face. What was funny about Postal 2 was how much people freaked the fuck out about what's in it. All of the jokes, offensive or not, are pretty childish. Taliban living above a corner grocery store that engage in indian whooping and yikking and milking satanic man-udders and endless bidet jokes and blowing up video game critics -- sure, when I was 14, that was the pinnacle of humor. What was actually funny was how worked up people got over it, if you go back and read some of the articles written about it. What's kept the game afloat is that the core mechanics are fun enough, and the whole thing has a quaint charm. I don't quite laugh at what's in the game, but I laugh at the fact that they had the nads to put it in the game and that people shit their britches about it. Plus, you know, constant now-and-then updates which make it a genuine anomaly.

Postal 4 was like a face-lift of Postal 2 to today. Annnnd, lo and behold, people realize that the comedy at-face is kinda dumb. There was no outsize reaction or people freaking out about it, because it misfired. It calibrated its offensiveness to the 90s-00s moral-majority retards. It didn't calculate towards today's batch of easily-offended retards, culture warriors.

Imagine if you had a mission to get your welfare check, and you go to the office - inside is a Trump rally waiting, with the setup being a riff on the wait-in-line joke of Postal 2. Except if you try to shoot these guys, or cut in line, every single one pulls out comically oversized rocket launchers and you'll be immediately gibbed. But if you try to wait, they're all too embarrassed to pick up their own welfare check, each one at the end of the line railing off in-game minutes of excuses for why it's OK for them to get welfare, but not for anyone else. If you try to wait them out, you fail every other objective for the day, and you can't just swing around at the end of the day because the doors will be locked while they're still working through the line. So you have to find Donald Trump and get him to tell them to leave, and when you go into his hotel room, it turns out that he's into sissy-hypno and won't listen to you... unless you inhale some helium and crossdress as a dominatrix to trick him into getting his rally to leave the welfare office. Later on in the week, if you go to the sex shop (I'm just assuming P4 has one of these), you'll find the entire rally there all swapping advice about which dildos are the most freedom-loving, patriotic, resemble Trump's dick the closest, etc.

Imagine if a mission had you set fire to a library, because the leader of a local LGBTQIABBQBBWETC lobby learns that the library has a single copy of a Harry Potter book in it. Upon burning the library down, it's revealed that you torched a bunch of children inside who were attending Drag Queen Story Hour, but the Drag Queen (named Jared, eating a long submarine whenever he is on screen) made it out alright so the lobby doesn't really care. Then it's revealed that one of those children identified as an anime character, and that this boy had gotten beachballs surgically grafted to his chest and received cartoon-affirming surgery to make his eyes ten times bigger. It turns out, after about five in-game minutes of reading through the members of the acronym, that people who identify as anime characters are a part of the rainbow coalition! This sends the lobby into a frenzy, and the game abruptly turns into a shitty Metal Gear Solid ripoff, as genuinely every single NPC in town will now attack you on sight if they spot you. Your objective becomes tricking a celebrity into making an off-color statement on twitter, so that everyone gets mad at them and forgets that you burned a bunch of kids to death earlier. Later on in the week, you can find Jared at a fusion day-care-center pizza-place. Hell, why not turn it into a FNAF ripoff sequence, except instead of animatronics, it's giant, gmod-error-looking words that are now seen as problematic sneaking up on you? Retard, cripple, midget, etc.

I don't think that either of these scenarios are particularly funny at-face. They're just crass and stupid. But I think both of them would get the various factions of the culture war to lose their shit about the game's existence, generate a bunch of buzz and interest in this VERY OFFENSIVE GAME!!! and it'd have legs. Since its release, I really haven't heard anything about Postal 4, and it's still not on sale for $0.99, which was what I paid for Postal 2. It's also still not 2030, so I assume it's still buggy as fuck.

I'm reading this, I'm into the ideas, and then dude took a turn.
 
But bro, internet memes! You can find your favorite internet e-celeb Civvie 11 and piss in his face so he can say the funny line! Isn't that what you wanted?
Actually trigger people with edgy content and write funny humor like we used to? Yikes dude, how about you have sex instead? It's the current year, we even have a trans developer now!
Postal 4 is so depressing, I don't even pay attention to it. It really is just poor man's Postal 2 without the edge. At this point, RWS should just do something else instead of being chained to this one franchise, hell even the OG Postal has it's fanbase if they want to go back to it, Hatred proved you don't need any memey humor if you play edginess straight
 
Somehow they consistently manage to have some of the most unsuitable music for their trailers. Are these bands just MikeJ's buttbuddies? The shit that plays over Postal 2's credits is also awful and doesn't fit game's tone.

I played the demo to Fortune's Run a few months back because anything free and Boomer Shooter is just something I'll check out. I didn't get very far because the game is ugly as hell and trying to build something immersive sim-ish within the confines of looking like a Doom Engine shooter just doesn't seem to work. While writing this I almost declared that it's stupid to make a heavily storybased FPS when you're dealing with characters shown as 2D Sprites, but that'd be wrong because Fallen Aces is coming soon and looks awesome.
I mean damn such great 2D Art. All the enemies look like they're straight out of a comic book and brief glimpses of extra animation make it shine. And then you got this shit
Doing a Boomer Shooter doesn't permit your game looking like ass. Dusk might have been an ugly ass game but that came out 5 years ago and was acclaimed for its level design more so that it looking like a Quake total conversion mod.
