Heh, crazy to see Postal still going. I only ever liked the first game, with the second having some funny things, but playing like ass from what I remembet. Never heard a good thing about three so doubt I am missing anything worthwhile there. I am not expecting much from this game, but we'll see how it turns out.

As someone who loved the Postal series for years from Postal, Postal 2, Apocalypse Weekend, all the mods (Eternal Damnation, AWP, etc..) and actively anticipated Postal 3, and still enjoyed it as much as I could despite being a broken pile of shit....Postal 4 fucking sucks.
It's a visually inconsistent technical mess. It hurts to look at, it feels incredibly jank compared to Postal 2, characters and world art seem to clash, it feels like a chore to play instead of a game that lets you approach things however you like...for a company that spends a large amount of time shit talking Postal 3 at least that game had a consistent art style. There's nothing redeeming about Postal 4, and this isn't a "this game is in poor taste" thing - it's a piece of shit title. There's nothing that'll have you grinning like the previous Postal games, the deepest depths of comedy is a running joke about a bidet store because of a toilet paper shortage. It's fucking stupid.
They made a game that is so poorly developed that the art looks worse than the low budget Postal 3 title from 2011 that was shoved out unfinished and had RWS completely divorce themselves from.
For the sake of fair comparison, both of these screenshots are from the official Steam pages and are as the company advertises:

Postal 2 was actually revolutionary for 17 year old me, I could spend hours just running around and be entertained by pressing T.

Those long posts don't cover that red neck boy
Enough people because Postal 2, besides its disparaging shock value, offered a living, open world. You could see NPC's do shopping, or kill a cop, and they would react accordingly. For its time, it was really interactive.
Heck, a lot of stuff still is.
The game also offers freedom in the way you play - You could finish the entire game being a goody two shoes. Sure, the game will mock you for doing so, but it is an option.
Exactly.
Postal 4 being a modernized Postal 2 sounds fun enough, but selling it on interactivity won't be such a big splash anymore.

I'm retarded?
Spoken like someone who has not experienced the beauty of the second game. The amount of details and what you could do and the stupid humor when it released where nuts. Hopefully the 4th one delivers.

To me, P4 looks A LOT better than P3.
I haven't touched P4, I do own it though. I wasn't a big fan of P2 either. I loved P1 though. I would say P4 will be a let down but hopefully a couple hours of fun can be had.

Was 3 ever worth playing? Loved Postal 2. Hope they have some good comedy in here.

I didn't touch 3 as it wasn't handled with the same care as the other games. Janky care of course, lol. But this one seems more like a return to form, I got it in Early Access and thought I'd wait until it released to play it. Glad to know the time is coming so soon!
