What does anyone think about Jon St John voicing Postal Dude and not Rick Hunter? Personally i'm a bit disappointed that Rick is not coming back but i have high hopes that Jon will do a good job voicing Postal Dude. Although if they could have brought in Corey Cruise to voice Postal Dude.

@Syaoran Li would this an example of the counterculture of the SJW movement you were talking about?

I wonder why they don't port them to consoles.

I honestly think this might be part of a budding counterculture of sorts, as silly as that may sound.

They tried to do something similar with Hatred back in 2015 when the SJW movement was really starting to ramp up and gain ground, but Hatred was too grimdark and it was poorly timed.

Postal has always been about goofball dark comedy and now that we're seeing a growing resentment towards the woke, we'll probably see more "edgy" and "problematic" works in the coming years, and I think a lot of these intentionally edgy and problematic games and movies will be done with a sense of parody and satire. At least in the early phases of it.

I'd also wager that Joker is sort of a predecessor to this potential counterculture, but not in the way that a lot of the blue checkmarks on Woke Twitter are saying. It was a Scorsese-esque drama that was disguised as a capeshit film so it could get made and released. Films like Taxi Driver and Goodfellas are completely opposite of the capeshit and YA trash that is popular in the circles of the Millennial Left.

Even though Joker is not a political movie, the plot was well-developed and brought up a lot of uncomfortable truths about 2010's America that obviously pissed off the SJW's in some way. The fact that the movie intentionally goes against the standard set by MCU capeshit pablum probably also played a role in angering the dangerhairs and bearded bugmen.

Joker sperging aside, I'm glad Postal 4 is coming out and is taking the piss out of woke culture. It's going to be released on PC since that's the main platform of the other Postal games.

I'd like to see a console release, but I don't think Postal 4 would get past the Sony censorship policies.

If it's not too powerful of a game, then we could see it on the Switch, provided it gets the M rating from the ESRB first.
 
How glitchy is it going to be is the main question. The time is perfect for this game and you can bet your ass the devs will market it as anti-SJW.

I've seen a few broken animations and saw the loading times were abysmal like the original version of Postal 2.

Then again RWS says its an EXTREMELY early Alpha build; with a ton of assets being reused from the second and even third game.

If the second got an M rating, this will.

Shit the second was the first ever game to get the Intense Violence description from the ESRB

Honestly, right now the voice clips sound like their place holders. But I'm sure once the game starts to get moving along, they'll either get someone else or Jon will actually have to change how he voices the character, because as it is right now, it's pretty much his normal voice.
 
Having played it, the game is def in a very rough state but I can see the potential. From what I read, it seems they wanna create the open world concept that Postal 3 was supposed to be but never happened, despite what a trash fire that game turned out to be.
 
Games are Bad, they make you mad!

also save a tree, burn a book...

i realy liked the 2nd one and the movie is a Classic.

I'd like the 2nd one more if it didn't crash so much.

How long ago did you play it? I had the scene release of the game a month before retail and it crashed all the time and had +1 min loading times. I picked it up again all patched up on steam for a dollar and the patched up version runs great. I beat it without it crashing once and the loading times were infinitely better. They also patched a ton of weapons into the game and some other minor tweaks.
 
I'm really glad the graphics still have that bright-but-shitty look of the early 2000s. I hope they stay that way.

Steam. It still crashes a lot. Even worse is that the Postal Dude chides you for saving.

Knowing RWS, I think there's going to be some 4th wall breaking jokes about the new voice, somewhat similar to what they did for Paradise Lost.

As for Jon St. John, this is probably the closest he'll get to voicing Duke Nukem since the actual series is in limbo right now. It should be fun seeing him play such a nihilistic character.
 
Well now, wasn't expecting this so soon.
 
I still fucking remember the first time I played postal 2. I was 14 and one of the first things I did was killing the muslim minimarket owner and all of his wives that were using it to hide and prepare a terrorist attack.

This is the perfect timing for a sequel to come out. I only hope that the jokes aren't too predictable and that they piss off as many categories of people as possible. Piss off MAGA dudes, piss off Antifa, piss off troons, piss off every social media clown.
