POSTAL 2 Discussion
This game is so fucking good.
And I mean it's soooo good.

Eric and Dylan would fucking endorse this game.

Honestly, you can either be a genocidal maniac or a pacifier-sucker goodboy. Or you can be both and play the devil's advocate.

"I regret nothing."

eric and dylan would rather prefer postal 1

Oh shit I forgot about that game.
le columbine memes aside, I'd recommend playing the Redux version and not the original.

Mouse turning is inverted in original and there's nothing you can do about it.

I've never done a pacifist run, seems like it would get kind of boring that route. The chain reaction of mayhem you can cause is just too entertaining.

plsmoar

You should the same as Eric and Dylan and kill yourself.

You could always do it on Postal mode and try to go as fast through the game as you can.

I played the game when it came out in 2004 and I do not remember this ever being the case. Maybe you adjusted the settings without realizing it. Redux adds the sewers, al qaeda camp, new weapons, hats for npcs, and that's about it.

It's definitely the version to get though. Buy it on Steam to support the developers.

Pacifist mode on the harder difficulties is almost impossible without spamming catnip and crack. You can't avoid combat in some areas like the meat market and post office.

I've observed that while just playing regularly, I'll have to try it sometime, it's just so hard to not go shovel happy.

Didn't Eric play postal 1?

Postal 2 comes from an era when being edgy wasn't frowned upon and games tried to have gameplay.

...

op here.
yeah I got both Postal and Postal Redux.
I wanted to refund my original copy but I was like eh… it's just $0.49.

and this too.

and thread is kill

SHIIIIIIIILL

Why is Postal 2 as good as it is? By any criteria normally used to evaluate how good a game is(game design, level design, A.I., programming etc.) it's not very good at all, but it's still so much fun. Why is that?

This game was comfy in a strange way. I didn't ever beat it or get that far in it, but I had a lot of fun with what I played.

A bad game can still be fun, and games are at their best when they're fun. Why play a game, an activity of luxury and leisure, if you aren't having fun? While I think it's a little silly to dismiss a game for being too hard because you're ignoring how to play, in the case of some modern gamers, I think it's understandable to take a break from a tough game and play something relaxing if you need some chill time. It's about having a good time, I think.

But anyways, yeah, I don't think a bad game is always "bad". You can still have a shitty time playing something that's designed fairly well, and you can have the time of your life playing something that's really shit. There are a ton of games out there that are a blast to play even if they aren't structured incredibly well.

i want to fuck that

Because it doesn't give a fuck and does things that no other game does.

The gameplay is also very unique, what other game has a small map where you need to do simple tasks, and you can approach those tasks in multiple ways (peacefully or violently or flat out blowing everything/everyone up), and the only failure state is dying?

I think it's that freedom that sets it apart, most other games would make you fail if you kill an important NPC or don't do something the right way, but postal lets you blast your way through everything and kill everyone in the city and burn their corpses if you want to.

Every action has a reaction, the AI responds to every such action, and every weapon is both creative and has its own use. There are various play styles to tackle to the game—Hell, stealth can even work in this game when it probably shouldn't —with numerous secrets and ways to efficiently get across town. The maps are so well designed with many routes and exits, allowing you to exploit them and figure out the best approach.

Of course, you can throw that all out for complete anarchy. That is, unless you play on the Postal difficult, in which case such stupidity would have the entire town after you with RPGs. The Postal difficulty comes highly recommended from me to anyone that hasn't played it, tough as nails and requiring every exploit in the game. Remember to prod with the prod.

Postal 2 is one of very few games that weren't visual novels that I actually fapped to.

What the fuck user?

You're telling me you've never harassed the one woman cashier in one of the stores, doused her in gasoline, lit a match, threw it on her, and then watched as she crawled on the floor, charred and burnt from head to toe, and, before she croaks, pissed on her burning corpse as her last few seconds are of her vomiting her own toasted guts out?

It was really erotic, actually.

I like pacifist run, it felt more challenging and more comfy to me. Also you can't do a full pacifist run, weekend requires you to kill zombies and cows IIRC

I admit that I would be lying if I said I didn't do the same.

Weekend is DLC though and deviates quite a bit from the main game in style and gameplay.

Deus Ex

You guys also fap to people getting brutally murdered in vidya? Glad to know I ain't the only one. I always get hard when killing people gruesomely in games inb4 edgy

You're confusing Postal 1 with Postal 2, and "Redux" variously with Postal 2's v1.337 update and with the changes lifted from AWP for the game's Steam distro.

I also got a pretty cathartic release in Godfather II when I would strangle prostitutes and hookers. How slow and detailed the animation was was pretty fucking hot.

The only time I got a boner from killing in a video game was when I stabbed some nurses in GTA IV.

Anyone else playing fag hunter all day, every day?


Just stun them by pissing in their face.

You could hold your mouse upside down.

If anything its more fun due to the game constantly pushing you to go full "Names not important".
Never done a pacifist run on Apocalypse Weekend though I gave it a few tries but it was just infuriating, doing it on Paradise Lost however was fun.

When I play Postal 2 I try my best to be a nice person and the game shits on me.

I just can't be evilI just clean the world of filthy muslims and other heretic heathens.

thing is that it's ==impossible== to do a pacifist run. There's a part where you MUST behead 30 cows or something.
Aren't you supposed to behead cows in this game too? Beside's I'd like to know how you got past the al-Qaeda camp.

The game literally called me a Soccer Mom.

No you have to milk them but the zombie cows make it harder.

Shouldn't a pacifist run result in Jesus? Or is it different for Paradise Lost?

Anyone tried Nick's Co-op?

Wish I could.
But most of my friends are in another country and I'm stuck here. gg

Does Nick's Co-op only add multiplayer?
Like what else does it add?

Multiplayer already was a thing, as a wonky deathmatch with pissing. But nick's co-op apparently makes Postal 2 and AWP/AW multiplayer co-op, with all the missions and stuff intact. It also supports some mods, like dark fire weapons and some vehicle mod that shows up in the config.
I'm waiting for my friends to wake up so I can try it.

bump

This user knows whats up

>You can piss on the people standing in line to jump to the front

I played the difficult one under postal difficulty and beat the whole game, honestly I find postal diffculty was way better because everyone had good drops instead of the shitty m4s and shotguns I got, plus ememy most likely drop the best weapon in the game the machete.

I'm working on translating the game to my mother language language. I hope it looks nice when POSTAL 2 gets this update.

I guess I really like it.

Game is fun, self aware, etc. and all, but the combat and sound effects left a metric FUCK load to be desired. Especially the gore. Yes the "muh reelishtik" blood spewing when you chop off a ped's head is fucking awesome, but there's no bullet holes on the npcs, you can't fully gib people and leave them a giant blood smeared gory mess like you can in other gory games, etc. Even if you can, it's not that satisfying to do so for me.

Postal 2 was fucking amazing when it first came out though. Back then that was the edgiest fucking game soccer moms grounded their children for playing at their friend's house.

Can you taze/shovel/etc furries in Postal 2 at all
Inquiring minds want to know

You can with mods I'm sure.

I'm kind of shocked RWS didn't include fursuited faggots. Or an option to wear a fursuit. Shit would have been funny. Would have attracted furfags, yes, but furfag money is just as green as mine.

Forgot to ask…

What about the next Postal game? I don't mean the third game, are they working on a new one? A "IV", maybe?

...

Just played some of that co-op mod. Works like a charm. Finally we can play out home invasions, and columbine-like massacres like the edgelords we are.
Some animations and ragdolls look a bit wonky/stiff, but other than that it works like a charm.
Only issue is the suicide button no longer works. Damn shame.


They said a while (a year) back they'd be working on a new ip in a completely different genre. Doesn't seem to be any new info on that.

Not to mention the fucking stupid final boss you absolutely must kill to complete the game.

What's wrong with being edgy aside from the cliché and the childishness?

Are you serious? Postal 2 drew massive backlash. Not sure if any of it came from the gaming community, but I know in particular moral guardians were absolutely pissing their pants over it.

I know the first Postal got everyone's panties in a bunch, but did they get all uppety again with 2? I thought they just gave it shitty scores.

They gave it a shitty score for obvious reasons.

The funny thing is how laughable the reviews are.

I mean either they got paid to say how bad it is or that the're pussies and can't take the fucking heat.

It's good to kill,once in a while.

She is after all the bitch.

Good fucking Allah just look at her.

You best be memeing user

lulwat
You have the gun in your hands, AND murder isn't really something new to you. Just do it, faggot. Kill the cunt.

Oh fuck that pic.
I have a feeling their pulling out some girl's uterus. I feel like I've seen this before, but I'm forgetting where. Source?

Ive seen it. Yes they are. the 1st one was horrifying. The 2nd 3rd and 4th were hilarious

I actually remember Computer Gaming World giving it a ZERO and in the blurb next to the score just saying "No".

Faggots.

Oh yeah I remembered that.

I wonder why…

Can you tell me the name of the doujin? I need to see it again.

I honestly cant remember. You could probably find it on exhentai if you tried hard enough.

I don't see a uterus. I need a screenshot of the whole comic page.

I really don't know what tags I'd look for, I don't remember enough about the comic. Guro? girl_in_wall? On top of that, there's something weird about his pic, it wont open and even if I save it it's says there's something wrong with it, so I can't reverse image search it.
I want to see that fucked up stuff so badly.

Its a RH Minus work. I printed them off and left them in the bathroom waiting for the unexpecting.

You wont find it on a booru. I know the first one involves putting bugs in her pussy.

Fuck yeah, thanks user.
Time to see if I can fap to this!

If you're anything like me you'll just end up laughing at it.

Just like Postal Dude would.

I laughed so hard at the 2nd one. They are shock/comedy comics rather than porn.

...

Oh fuck this shit is hardcore.

Hilarious, right?

More shocking than anything. I seriously wasn't expecting her to get her womb bitten off.
Pretty funny.

Just wait till the 4th comic. The kid who finds her with her womb out, like always, does a fucking ninja slash on it and cuts it in half

Jesus fucking Christ. That's fucking disgusting, brutal, and cringy in the way that an eyeball getting poked in a horror movie is cringy. God damn.

A fourth? On exhentai I'll only 1, 2 and 3.


The next page is worse.

There should be 4. The first is the fish bug things. The 2nd is that. The 3rd is when she sticks the soda bottle in her pussy. The 4th is the one with the chair.

I'll look for it then, should be able to find it. Thanks for the tip.

Oh FUCK just found it. sliced her fucking womb right in half.
On Exhentai it was labeled as number 3 though.

Then where is the soda one?

Pro tip, you can get farther being a serial killer instead of being a mass killer, you'll get more satisfaction out of it, you can take as much time as you like, and attention-whore wise if you get caught there'll much more media sensation but anyone who surrenders to the police, serial or mass killer, is a gay loser. It pisses me off when people surrender. The worst case I know of is the Aurora shooter, he could have done much more damage and died with a bang. With mass killers it's probably because most have never killed before, and some of them can't handle themselves after they realize what they've done. This is why serial killing is superior, you can stop any time and live out the rest of your life. If you're a serial killer about to get arrested either shoot the cops or yourself.

I found that one, it was unlisted.
I'm reading the one with the fish-bugs now and just…holy fuck this is nuts.
"I STABBED SO HARD IT WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH MY WOOOOMB"

None of the information you have offered is not common knowledge.

Postal 2 was a bad game loved by cancer. The same kind of person loved THUG2 (for all the wrong reasons) and watched an hour or more of MTV a day. It was le epic meem game before that was a thing and was more popular with normalfags than gamers. Before you say "no user, me and my squad of cool bros were this game's audience", realize that you were the normalfags the people hanging around SA and rotten.com hated. The only positive thing about it was it put the knife in Gary Coleman's dying career.

Common sense isn't common

Common sense doesn't involve the intricacies of becoming a murderer.

I know you're a passive aggressive autist who contradicts everything everyone says to fuel your unfounded superiority complex. I'm not pulling this out of my ass, misuse of periods is a sure sign of this personality type, and I've seen it many times. If I ever become a serial killer I'll be sure to pick you as my first victim, and I won't leave a body for your family of segway riding fatties to bury

Is your post pregnant?

HOLY SHIT
That's a fucking new one, even if you are just pretending to be retarded. I just enjoy pissing off autistic edgelords who have not yet grown up and never will.

Cheeky post

I don't think you belong here user

That's kinda hot

Why did someone draw this.

More importantly, how did someone fuck clippy?

Can a human make a paperclip pregnant?

If I've learned anything from /tg/ it's that humans are compatible with everything.

I need to play more tabletop if it gets that crazy

You know I'm right, and you can't stand it. You've created this mental bubble, a fantasy world in which you're a smart and intellectual person with well-respected opinions who everyone likes. In reality you are a deluded autist, a wanna-be alpha male, a smartass clown, and a passive aggresive psuedo-intellectual asshole who is disliked and mocked by everyone he comes in contact with. Even if you don't realize it you treat everyone like they're beneath you and not worth your time, but when you need them for something you act like they're your best friend. You probably have a small online group of gullible, useless ultra-betas desperate for leadership and approval, who think of you as a leader and a friend while you just use them to supply yourself with approval and to satisfy your power fantasies. You tell them what to do, whatever it is, but you still have no real power in the world. These are the only people who will ever want to be with you, and even still that isn't real friendship. You will never know what having a real friend is like because that kind of relationship requires mutual respect, trust, honesty, etc, which you personally cannot provide on your end. Mostly everyone around you hates you being in their lives, and you will never get those real sensations of respect and loyalty that true alpha males receive. You will never have actual authority and power. But your superiority complex cripples you from taking in an accurate view of your social standing, and your introspection is clouded. When I directly tell you what you are, I am shaking the foundations of your delusions, and opening up the possibility of self-doubt and self-questioning, things that you subconsciously know would cause you mental pain and a destruction of your ego, and so like an animal sensing danger you see me as your greatest enemy, your subconscious is screaming like it would if a lion was about to pounce on you. You hate me because I bring you a painful truth, and you want to stay in your comfortable delusion. You deserve this suffering, and I hope the cracks I've made in your mind will grow into gaping wounds. But I don't do this out of spite, rather because you should change. However, I dislike you like everyone else and still hope you suffer in the process. It's justice that needs to happen because your faggotry is criminal

I wasn't going to pay the 4 dollars or whatever for milk. Ended up setting up a chain reaction of molotovs where every vigilante that rushed into the store to try and stop my was set on fire. Laughed my way out of the store while walking over around 15 burned corpses.

Dare you enter my magical realm?

Ok
NEVER GETS OLD

pay me, RWS

dat u Flan?

Hopefully they'll make a Postal 3 with RWD's but that'll never happen.

I'm saving this one. The fact you didn't even end the last sentence with punctuation is amazing. I could have never come up with such poetry. Thanks, friend, have a good one!

bump

I don't think it would be Postal 3 since they would not want it to be mistaken for the Russian Postal 3 that was so horrible
Hopefully when they feel like they're done with Postal 2 content there will be another one

So do we still have the Running with Scissors shill board? That was kinda fun while it lasted, getting actual companies (if you want to call them that) to come over to Holla Forums.

It's still there. Dead, of course.

Bump

I don't remember any of that in the game, although you could play as nadim portant and a clown.


Scribblenauts/Super Scribblenauts/Scribblenauts Unlimited, except the gunplay was essentially "select NPC, select attack option" which was very flat and dull and got boring quickly. Say, if there was a game that was the best of both scribblenauts and postal, i'd shit enough bricks to build two border walls.


Get the fuck out and never come back.


Yup, it's the psychotic postal 1 dude himself.


Remember when /krotchy/ used to be on the top 25?

If you like Postal 2 try Turok 2.

>trippo lighter and hairspray make very short work of them

Best bossfight in the entire series.

I'd go further to say it's the most fun moment in the entire series, and that's saying something.

That too, it'd be worth slogging through wednesday just to get to.

I kinda liked the bitch boss fight more. not the last one but the one where she is thin

I have a glitch where my machete and sythe dont go away when thrown, so i can spam a ton of machetes and kill everything.

Interesting video on the usable of stock audio in Postal's soundtrack.

All in all it was some good fun. Guys were great and the runner didn't go easy on them with the questions.

Atleast RWS can learn from their mistakes, unlike some companies EA

Meh. This is the one game where my inner sociopath can run rampant without my inner Jiminy Cricket guilt triping me. Yeah, it's pixels, but for any other game out there, I just can't bring myself to do an evil run.

With the singular exceptions of the dogs and cats. I gather up as many treats for the dogs as I can, and I collect the cats but never use them.

...

Fuck no
