It's less like they "fixed" Postal 3 and more like they "stabilized" it.

Still, big props to Zoom for actually caring and polishing this turd.

I dunno Postal 3 is pretty bad. Like I've played an uncountable number of games so I won't call Postal 3 one of worst games ever made. There's some real stank out there.

Cause he is amazingly brutal to everything else.
@expressset43011 ай бұрын
Civvie was still pretty honest about the game from my memory, especially when the game was early alpha essentially and you could only play the first day, and John St John was the only voice of Postal dude... he was VERY critical about that, and how the town was lacking and empty, even talked shit about his own cameo appearance(which i do remember well, because I was shocked he did so) so i wouldnt say he ignored the red flags, but he was hopeful And for what it's worth, postal 4 is still better than postal 3. Which, is low bar so that doesn't mean it's doing much, but when comparing it to postal 3, it's gonna sound like you're praising it, even if the game is still bad. Postal: BD on the other hand, was fully praised, and for good reason.

The only thing that Postal 4 has somewhat right is the combat and even that has issues. Call Vince and Mike so that they can burn me at the stake, but Akella ironically did a better job.

I know the game is suppose to be bad.. and it is... but its still somewhat enjoyable, due to either nostalgia, or maybe that some missions are fun with how they just let you blast away and go postal.

I do gotta say this since it is something I've been thinking for a while, if postal 3 had a workshop or open source code, it might have been a great postal game, just imagine if the community managed to create better and more open maps, take advantage of the potential of the source engine and stuff like that, it would have been great. Postal 2 isn't exactly as comfortable to mod and the graphics definitely aged like milk (it isn't to say that the game is bad) so having 3 be the most customizable one would have been really cool, besides the whole aesthetic and design has aged really well, this is my favorite Dude design out of all, and the whole game definitely looks way better than Postal 4 with all those asset flips. Postal 3 had a great potential that got wasted and thrown away without a single chance to be fixed even by the community, and it's a shame because I can tell that some game's communities are willing to go through the hustle to fix a boring and unplayable game, like Deadly premonition 1 or Blood 2 the chosen, I would have loved to play Postal 3 with a similar concept as 2.

My favorite part is your character can be a legitimate deranged mofo in 100% of the previous games and the games after and the dude is supposed to be trailer trash so the "health" pipes is kinda expected for a health kit

Gotta give RWS Credit for having Corey voice the Postal Dude as the Main Postal Dude in Brain Damaged (Hella Recommend it) and Postal 4 as a Playable Postal Dude. Also, The max payne movie is the worst video game movie ever Made, i wont Tell anything, but you might Block me After telling you that Movie exist.

That movie is horrendous yeah. Very weird direction they decided to take it. Doom Annihilation or whatever it's called might be my worst video game movie....but the gap is very small.

I preordered this game... In Russia we have a lot of third party keys stores, i know that overseas you guys have like.... 2 or so... and i know only CDKeys. But here we have like 50 at least and at least 10 of those are completely legit. Anyway, i bought this game in one of the legit stores, and i got a torrent link with legit ISO of the game, and key to install it XD it was one of the weirdest things ever but it worked. I just checked, i cant download it anymore, it doesnt exist on the website, so basically the game i bought in 2011 vanished XD No link, no key XD And it had a DLC called "Gamathrower", i dont know if it was exclusive to the store, cause store called "Gama-Gama"...

Thanks for the review, I was wondering if you ever get time can you do a review on this 2001 ps2 game called Extermination. It was considered as the first survival horror game released for ps2. It’s kinda like a mix between John Carpenters the thing and resident evil.

@@CDROMFossil lol a bit advise too, check out for brown crates they usually have health items or nothing but also watch out because they sometimes have enemies in them too. Also there was an infection meter too if I remember right so be sure to keep an eye on that, the game gives you booster shots and vaccines to fight it off. There are some other stuff I’m prob forgetting lol been a while since I played this game.

I always roll my eyes when [Series Name] 3 sucks and 2/1 was better in every way. With Postal? 100% true. Postal 3 was a dumpster fire that Running with Scissors prefer be forgot to time and made great great efforts to prevent people from having the means to obtain it or, at least, prevent people from spending money to get and play it. The Paradise Lost DLC for Postal 2 is essentially RWS apologizing for Postal 3 and retconning Postal 3 simultaneously. With any modifications, Postal 3 is not even worth pirating.

Postal 2 has a pacifist path too, so no idea why that's being portrayed as a bad thing here.
@CDROMFossil11 ай бұрын
There's a big difference though. In Postal 2 it's a choice and a done in a much different style. You have to wait in line for milk or wait in line at the bank. It pushes your patience to see if you are able to abide by the pacifist rules. Postal 2 doesn't also straight give you a bad ending or end the game early if you don't do a pacifist route. In Postal 3 the difference between pacifist and violence is the weapon you use. You either taze....or you pull a trigger. Much worse. Especially with the mission objectives straight telling you NOT to kill.

I did played the game to completion (yes I did) got all achievements except the last 2 that were broken and got deleted recently. A thing I had to point out making this even more baffling is that you can regain Good Karma. Fossil said if you lose Good Karma it's gone even if you do good deeds but if you end up having a bad Karma and you do good deeds you do gain good karma. SO YES, to regain good karma you have to go full bad karma. *facepalm*

@@CDROMFossil There used to be an achievement where you had to switch sides 5 times in one playthrough. It wasn't fun to do it especially how achievements in this game are broken since sometimes the game didn't took into account the change making me having to do it at least 20-30 attempts. Edit : It got deleted with the other 2 unobtainable achievements.
