[@MarphitimusBlackimus]

Thanks for checking out POSTAL and Redux! I had initially proposed keeping P1's difficulty slider for Redux strictly for the "It goes up to eleven" reference, but having looked at the original source code, the actual differences between each setting were trivial. The main function of P1's slider was to set what is internally referenced as the Easy, Medium, and Hard enemy/weapon/item layouts (like Doom), which is ultimately what Redux plainly exposed with discrete menu options instead of a slider. The Nightmare difficulty enemy layout in Redux is new, however, and completely original. And unless a bug creeped in over time, in Redux, if you're knocked down by a rocket, you can hold down the crouch key to remain lying on the ground to avoid P1's infamous rocket stun lock loop.

POSTAL 2 is something I've considered covering since there are a lot of little details and nuances to its AI behavior and mechanics, but it mainly just comes down to a lack of free time, and I've still got a mountain of Half-Life I wish to cover first. Covering any POSTAL after Postal III would seem self-masturbatory, though, and I try to keep the masturbation in my videos to a bare minimum. Yes, I work at RWS. I'm the lead designer.

An aspect of Postal and Postal Redux I always found overlooked was the OST. Whilst there's no music during actual gameplay there are tracks that play during the initial loading/diary entry screens, I always found that these tracks had a certain unnerving aura to them. Very industrial focused but oddly serene & dreamlike, perfectly complements the more serious tone of this game. I mean some of these tracks combined with the artwork that you see can be very effective at creeping you out, not something you see attempted much these days sadly.

[@VergilHiltsLT]

Yeah, this game did creep me out alright the first time I played it. There are some ambient tracks in levels too, and just creepy sounds in general. And what better sound to summarize your madness than almost complete silence amongst a pool of bodies caked in blood.

[@monkaWGiga]

Having gone into Postal 1 completely blind after playing Postal 2 that first screen with its art and really really creepy music got me good. It pretty much instantly put me into the "Oh shit this is going to be completely different to Postal 2".

[@router9717]

This just fuels my longing for a genuine horror theme in place of the rubbish released in this age, the previous or the next of which the only dread you could obtain from them is from the quality or lack thereof. I'd always been struck by insufferable boredom from the conveyor belt of insubstsntially derivative works that merely mirror the greatest common denominator, recycle, and very minimally alter. Scorcese's sentiments resound in lament of this prominent void in the medium, a certain lack of revelation feeds this machine that continues to produce the same repetitive wash of similar hues.

Postal 1 is a really unpopular horror game. One reason i like it is that it's part of the category 'insanity' games like 'Cry of Fear' and 'Silent Hill' are a part of it. The games mysterious lore and lack of answers gives off its true horror.

Where's your obligatory "In Cry of Fear and Silent Hill you avoid monsters, in Postal 1 you play as the monster" comment? Frankly, what's even up with people saying that in games like Postal and whatever you play as the bad guy? Like, in every game that involves killing you're already not a good guy. In Saints Row series you play as a psychopath, in Doom as basically Jesus 2 and in Dead Rising you can put on a night gown and kill survivors for literally no reason, yet, a guy who shoot up a town that sent a police officer with a rocket launcher to evict him is the insane protagonist?

I will say that I quite like the general feel that the loading screens have. They use a lot of stock horror music that was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s (like how Central Park uses a sample from Altered States which was also used in HL2 and 28 Days later) but I think it's used effectively alongside the illustrations and journal entries. Seriously whoever illustrated the loading screens is pretty good, especially when they updated them with some slight animation in the Redux.

[@GrayKiddo]

Also, in track "Ice" from Silent Hill Shattered Memories.

[@peterjohnson9438]

The sound glitch can be either due to the sound system choking on too many simultaneous sounds and failing to fill the audio ringbuffer in time and you're hearing whatever garbage that happened to be at that point in the buffer, or it could be an error with audio scene handling, where the sound effect gets triggered before it's had its parameters set correctly, so you're hearing a sound effect playing at exact listener coordinates at max volume for the duration of a single frame. My money would be on the latter, since it's a rather easy mistake to make and miss in testing.

And then they continued to lose it for every time another of the 14 sequels/updates for AA were released in the following years.

Having beaten this game on Nightmare difficulty on Excess Postage I can honestly tell you that you dont ever want to try it unless you want to play trial and error and slowly hating yourself while driving yourself insane...seriously. But knowing Civvie he's probably already done it.

Watching this again in preparation for Postal‘s first ever console port for the Nintendo Switch next week. I know Nintendo has had plenty of mature-rated games exclusive to their consoles for a while, but damn, it’s still surprising that of all the consoles Postal Redux could get ported to, it would be the Switch, and of all the mature violent games that could get ported to Switch, it’s Postal Redux. What a strange timeline we live in.

Caleb would be a great hidden character for this game.

[@chefofchernobyl4840]

My idea is that this dude is just maybe postal 2 dude's dad, and when OG dude got sent to the asylum (or died?) Champ was given to his son. This game takes place in paradise too, and in postal 2 we find out that the dude's dad is buried in a paradise graveyard. If I'm (maybe) correct on all of this. I guess violence runs in the family.

[@gageunruh3574]

Pretty sure that it was said that in postal 1 (or somewhere) the dude had split personalitys with 1 REALLY evil one that just wanted to kill people and a "better" one that thought that the cops were infected with a gas that made them crazy so he killed them to "free" them until he gets to the school where he breaks down and understands it was his evil side just killing innocent people and he gets locked up until the co op dudes (yeah apperently there are multiple dudes but this is postal so it's still in universe for it) break him out but the dudes evil personality was HEAVYLY suppressed while in the ward so the dude put his life somewhat back together in 2 until the later parts where his evil side starts to resurface and whisper in his ear. The graveyard ending could be put to as the dudes nice side realised that he was leading himself to his own grave if he kept pretending to be a hero. Basically the dude thinks he was a hero in 1 until the end while the player and the people of paradise know he is just batshit crazy.

@Space Burger Jojo is all well and good, but its become a normie talking point that is so over saturated in popular culture online I couldn't give a shit about it or the overall brand at all. "Eating a steak every day makes eating a steak not special." Same as Talking about JoJo every single moment of the day makes even thinking about JoJo annoying as hell.

[@KyosukeShigeru]

oof.

[@517342]

I always wondered if that was an actual JoJo reference by Monolith back then. I mean they were a bunch of weebs considering Shogo and FEAR. Also one level in the Blood 2 expansion was outright called "JoJo's Big Adventure".

I remember actually playing Postal, seemed like a good idea when I was much younger and nobody I knew was aware of all that violence and shit. :P I turned out just fine, I think. Seriously, I don't know how the hell I came across such a game. I just knew the right neighbor who had the PC filled with awesome 90's games, mostly FPS titles and some platformers.

[@RichardPlaysStuff]

Today I learned Pro in your titles refers to skill and not support lmao

[@lionocyborg6030]

12:12 I can't speak for the Postal Redux version as I haven't played it yet to know if there's different dialog, but I have played those two levels on Excess Postage in Postal Classic on GOG. Due to my learning the language, I can actually understand some of the dialog: knowing what they say will do nothing to alleviate how disturbed you felt as it sounds just as nightmarish as it is when I couldn't. I don't know enough Japanese to translate some of the cops' lines (mainly as they speak too fast for me to make out the words) but here's what some of the Super Postal NPCs say based on my own playthrough observations: "HELP!" "SOMEONE HELP!" "Mother? MOTHER!" "DADDY HELP ME!" "Who's there?" "It's hot! It's hot!" "It hurts!" "Hey, hey!" On top of that, Tokyo in Classic Postal at least is one of the harder levels even on the lowest Medium Difficulty setting on the slider. Besides several rocket turrets and tough hostiles with strong weapons, there's explosive barrels everywhere in the upper portion of the map and I kept getting stunlocked and dying trying to reach a health pack several times as THERE'S FREAKING LANDMINES IN A KID'S PLAYPARK! It's a narrow fenced in park too, so they're hard to avoid when trying to dodge the shotgun & grenade guys there. Several people jump from an elevated metro track to fight the Dude (they seem to follow GTA 1 falling rules) and there's a cheeky sniper on a skyscraper at the top left of the map past the aforementioned barrel clusters to trip you up. Osaka is thankfully a bit easier if you know what you're doing but hostiles open fire on you as soon as you spawn.

[@marsmugio]

I'm glad my knowledge of Japanese is beginner level enough for me not to realize this on my own, as I think that would've been more horrific to find out. Jesus Christ.

Rick Hunter reprised his role as The Postal Dude since in the original the grunts and screams are done by the CEO of RWS. But this is the last role that Rick Hunter did as The Postal Dude.

[@sonicexereaper6814]

There’s also a few more stuff I want to point out. If you do get hit by a rocket, press and hold the crouch button to stay lying on the floor, then release it at the right time to get back up and make your counter against the rocket turret. On Nightmare difficulty, some buildings containing a huge number of innocent NPC’s like the ostriches in the farm, they’ll be replaced with SWAT’s. As for the Carnival, the hostile NPC’s are replaced with clowns. Some with pink AR’s, orange ones throwing lethals and shooting rockets, but also, now, there are green clowns that are bullet proof and the only way to harm them is by explosives or anything flammable. Do note, those green clowns may return back in later levels. And as for music, there are tone changes where Postal 1 feels hardcore and intense while Redux feels SLIGHTLY intense.

[@aelius3805]

"Assault weapon", just a buzz word thrown around by people that don't know anything about guns outside of what they saw in movies and on t.v.

[@xmm-cf5eg]

Don't forget politicians that want to steal your rights and the retired / active military officials they bought out who "agree" with them.

[@dentistguba]

A salt weapon is effective on slugs

[@magosexploratoradeon6409]

Thinking about it, it's such a vague and redundant term. Because why dafuq would you label it as a weapon if you aren't going to assault someone with it I.e cause harm to another person. So calling a plastic peripheral an "assault weapon" is like calling a spoon eating kitchenware. Shit's dumb.

I mean...Nite Owl was a burned out loser who had to be badgered into being a hero...Dr. Manhattan was too aloof and above it all to care whether what he was doing was right or wrong...Silk Spectre spent half the comic whining over being dumped by her boyfriend...and Ozymandias was a mass murderer. And Rorschach was the only one of the bunch who had the spine to stand up to Ozymandias, even knowing it would cost him his life.

[@ParappatheRapper]

I remember I was quite young when my uncle played this and I watched him, if it was 1997 then i was about 7. Could have been later like 8 or 9. Anyway, this game was very scary to me. The deaths seemed quite realistic for the time and the bare bones insanity of just killing people for the sake of murder frightened me a little. Keep in mind, I already played Mortal Kombat and saw plenty of gore in movies, but I think the psychological ambience of Postal 1, for a young child such as myself, was scary. I also recall being very confused by "The Earth is hungry" line. My small mind could barely parse what that could possibly mean. It's not scary now but I have a lot of uneasy feelings about this game and I don't think it liked scarred me or anything but I definitely remember it for sure.

[@andreknudsen3272]

yea most of the text in Postal1 is just nonsense.. so we have to belive he is totally sick mentally

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

The diary entries between levels and the credits screen (that featured a DEAD BABY) were always the most disturbing parts to me.

[@UltimatePiccolo]

Rorschach is the hero in Watchmen. He's the only one who stood up to the true villains, everyone else was too scared. His goal was to stop the corrupt heroes, he was the protagonist. Night Owl was the main character.
