Postal 4 - This cant be good for me but i feel great

[Pumpkin_Spice_Bastard]

I'm trying to find either a specific version of Postal 2, or a specific mod for it. Hoping someone here will know what it was.

Week in Paradise (WiP)
Came bundled with my russian Postal X copy. It was pretty good.
I think most of the stuff you described is there. Still think you had a Frankenstein's monster from more mods in there since the P3 gag was only in PL.

Oh yea, RWS announced another game in the Postal universe. Looks as bad as Phantom Fury.
At this point I am rooting for them to go down, this circus is going too far.
Also notice the nod to all troons in this trailer with the "female" protag and the cracking egg.

Week in Paradise (WiP)

I think I was crossing wires and confusing myself on some shit, but yeah Week In Paradise looks like the most likely suspect.

Even if I can't get exactly what I had, there's a mod called XPatch3.1 that seems to do a lot of similar shit to what I remember from AWP and more.

Says it's Steam only, but it appears to be working on the GoG version, and it supports v5100 so I can finally check out the Anniversary update features.

"Work in Progress"
It's gonna look and run worse. I dislike everything about this trailer and have zero hopes for it.

Can these hacks just make, you know, another game? Set in another universe? Why do they have to keep clinging on to Postal when that franchise stopped being relevant after Postal 2? The only good game that came out since was the boomer shooter one and that was developed by another company(hence why it was half-way decent and even funny at times).

I had a particular version of Postal 2 that added fucking tons of weapon spawns spots, lots of AW content and even some Paradise Lost stuff throughout the weekdays of base game Postal 2.

In the retail steam and gog versions that sounds like enhanced mode which is available after beating the game on average difficulty or higher. You can get most of the weapons in the game right off the bat on Monday and they're all enhanced in some way, like the semi auto sawed off shotgun. Xpatch is built in too.

There seems to be so many different releases over the years mixed in with mods that it's hard to track what was RWS's work or modders. I'm actually curious what version I played way back when, 2005 or thereabouts, although I'm pretty sure it's all RWS and no mod stuff. My experience was hellishly bookended by going through Tora Bora on Monday and dealing with Sunday, all on a high difficulty, and I thought it was one of the most grating and frustrating games I'd ever played. Glocks, MP5's, sawed off shotguns were not in the game and I don't think dismemberment was in the game either.

I sort of rediscovered the game recently and ended up getting all the achievements for it, and actually had fun doing that. I don't think that would have been even close to possible on the older version I played. It really seems like so much of the nuance in the game was added by modders which had their stuff integrated into the game.

There seems to be so many different releases over the years mixed in with mods that it's hard to track what was RWS's work or modders.

A big reason this is the case is that RWS would literally re release the second game containing new weapons and items from modders. It's why up until the fourth game I actually respected them somewhat, P2 would have always been extremely bland if not for the weapons the modders added, as well as the dismemberment which was an addition from Eternal Damnation IIRC. The excuse modern fans use for the state of P4 is "well, Postal 2 was basically early access because it was broken when launched on Steam", ignoring the fact it was pretty much perfect in terms of jank and extra weapons by the final boxed release. Even the base, boxed, original copy of Postal 2 still features the entire week, whereas P4 released with just Monday and a really rough Tuesday, it's not even comparable like the reddit fans would try and make you think.

enhanced mode

It definitely wasn't enhanced mode, I've never gone beyond playing Monday on that mode.

I have a suspicion my brain is just conflating stuff across several days from both PL and AWP, but I've still been looking around for AWP-adjacent mods. I know I haven't figured it out because nothing I've loaded up while experimenting has had, for example, the Lynx/Zippo flamethrower in any of the public toilets on Monday.

I've settled on using xPatch3.1 on v5100 for now to get the anniversary stuff (putting Grenades in cats, etc). Still haven't finished Monday with it just because I really wanna get VtMB done first to free up my gaming time a bit more.

P2 would have always been extremely bland if not for the weapons the modders added

This exact thing threw me for a loop a year or so ago when I originally made this P2 frankenstein's monster I'm trying to recreate:

I somehow got my hands on a GoG installer for some early version of P2 that could only run in 4:3, and was missing a lot of "non-essential" level geometry like the railings going up the stairs across the street from the Dude's house. I think it may have been the ShareThePain release, or even the original? Seeing that version brought back the memory that even the copy my ex had used to introduce me to P2 had MadJackal's bong and Eternal Damnation weapons.

It was kind of a shock seeing just how primitive and empty the OG release was, especially since the sandboxy-ness and weapon hunting are the major reasons I enjoy P2 so much, and all that stuff that made exploration so fun was 'added later'.

Edit: I think that's also why I don't hate P4 like most people did, because at the end of the day I'm really playing Postal for the sandbox parts. I mean shit, my "GloboJews go home" profile banner is from my favorite P4 mission where you graffiti a bunch of billboards.

We're talking about guys who before this made Disney based games for the SNES. Clinging to their edge boi shooter game is only thing they have going for 'em, because it landed 'em not notoriety that they kepy trying to milk in one way or another.

Oh, wow. I never even knew about this.
RSP was known for such gems as: Sesame Street Countdown, Beethoven on SNES, Bobby's World Gameboy and Steven Seagal Is: The Final Option (Game).

Putting a woman in an edgy shooter is 100% autogynephilic behavior. And the comments are just mindless praise from sexual deviants like this:


...which then get given a heart to make them feel special.

But if you comment any slight criticism you get passive-aggressive responses like this:



"Ummm... Chud you WILL play as a woman and you WILL feel gender euphoric!". It seems like they gave control of their socials to some actual tranny and comments like this just feel personal to him.

It's a one-trick studio, and they're not even good at that one trick anymore.

 

[crunchy bits are the best]

I'm waiting the day RWS finally blames their audience if this new project fails since they've already gone through the faggy route.
