​@@daiymohermitaurenjoyer9160 Postal 1 predates Columbine, if I remember correctly it was mentioned to be found on one of the shooters computers along with doom and other games with violent themes. At the time no one really thought anyone would shoot up a school. My dad would tell me stories about when he was in highschool, they were able to bring their rifles in and keep them in their lockers so they could go hunt after school, something that genuinely couldn't happen anymore.

What I find neat about Postal 2's design is that your objective is to run errands. The game gives you tools to kill people, but it's your choice whether to use it or not, and it doesn't admonish you for using them. It only informs you of your decisions and their effects in the results screen. And yes, at least one of the pacifist options is legitimately more painful than the violent alternative because it involves bad singing.

I hate how postal 2 is technically an immersive sim. On the level of Deus Ex no less. We truly live in the darkest timeline.

[@HankJWimbleton-v1m]

One of the dumbest and most offensive ever, but yes. Postal 2 is technically very close to being an immersive sim-style game. Postal Dude has several non-linear objectives he can complete in any order he chooses, and the game has several complex features like a semi-intelligent A.I that react to your presence and random events. There are also a ton of items you can use and interesting ways to interact with the world (such as being able to bribe Krotchy with your money or a copy of Gary Coleman's autograph to let you purchase a Krotchy doll). The only thing that holds it back from being a true Immersive Sim like it's contemporaries, however, was its lack of RPG elements. Y'know, my idea of what is an "Immersive sim" is that it's not a game genre, but rather a byproduct of how the game is. It's more of a design philosophy that can be applied to any genre, if you ask me. That is, a linear game that allows and accepts multiple ways to succeed in your objectives, including those that the devs did not intend. It's completely consequential and attempting to intentionally make one leads to poor results.

Something I do want to add, following Postal 2, there was the Apocalypse Weekend add-on that leads to the dude nuking the town (dont ask) which is what leads directly into Postal 3; however, since postal 3 was idk a little shit, that's where the Paradise Lost DLC for Postal 2 came around, where the lore is that the dude hit his head while driving which caused a giant hallucination that was Postal 3, only to have the *other* dude (Corey Cruise) be a figment of his imagination. You also break into Zack Ward's manor in that DLC (again dont ask). I'm not going to spoil what happens in Brain Damaged or 4, but it's important to note that some of the stories kinda don't transfer over either LOL. Oh!

You provide good comments on the commentary that Postal 1 makes, but I feel you could have gone a bit deeper on Postal 2's. Like you said, you can just wait in line, pay the money, and get through the game without being a complete psycho, all you really have to do it be patient. And that's pretty much the key to the point of the game (from my perspective). It's still following the game's title, but instead of controlling someone who's already gone postal, it's up to the player when and even if they go postal. It asks how much of boring, mundane, inconvenient, and often annoying normal life you can take before you decide to just pull out the guns and start blasting.

You have earned yourself a place on my postal dives along with rewatched of Civvi-11

[@ult1makey]

As much as I kinda like the goofy aspects of the later postal games, I really wish there was another game in the style of Postal 1. I love the horror and grimy aesthetics and the darker story behind it. I understand why the change happened but I still wish to see them give another crack at it.

The only way to explain the entire postal series "This can't be good for me but i feel great" and 3 doesn't count

[@DONKFORTRESS6956]

for the longest time I didn't actually know that postal 3 existed, so i thought rws just skipped to 4 because it felt like something theyd do

As he goes through the title scenes I catch a glimpse of eyes starting back and when they moved my balls proceeded to implode with fear only to realize that they were my reflection.

[@chessemchesse3676]

I'm pretty sure most people who started the series with 2 and 4 were more than shocked at the first game

[@rickshabusky4553]

A in-depth Video of the Science Hill series when?

[@rudyflorestheswitchblade4462]

How I explain the Postal Games from a simple stand point is that they're like the South Park of Video Games where they have no filter and they tend to listen to their fan base and the creators know when something is hit or miss but still do it and own up to it.

oh my god am i happy to hear postal being talked about rn, especially from you, it is one of my current hyperfixations. this game has had a special place in my heart for years.

[@finalbreath15]

As a kid in the early 2000s, I remember hearing about the game from my older brother and cousin who owned it, but I only saw gameplay a few times, usually peeing on people, but I remember being so fascinated by the things you were tasked with doing and the things you could do by your own volition. And I think this series is still pretty legendary for some of the things you can do in it

Really do hope you take a look at the games individually, especially the Postal 2 DLC Paradise Lost. You probably know it's a retcon of Postal 3, but I doubt you had time to play it during the making of this video. It is _peak_ Postal imo. All the janky stupid fun of Postal 2, but just a little more modern with a lot of good ideas that got brought over to Postal 4. Also, this may sound insane, but if you do an individual video on Postal 4...try to get the Pacifist Ending at least once. It is the most insane thing in this series, and that's saying something. Protip on that, the stun baton can be your best friend while doing that run, but the battery life can get annoying. Thing is, RWS never fixed a bug with it: if you drop it and pick it up the recharge rate on the battery actually stacks. Pick it up three times and it charges faster than it drains, and you can go buck wild with it like you could with the taser in Postal 2.

Dumbs, you're the best KZbinr that I follow here on KZbin. I've been seeing your for the past 4 years and since then I've made like 10 KZbin accounts, I kept on changing phones and preety fond of forgetting my earlier passwords. Anyways, whenever I do make an account and come here on KZbin, sooner or later, I go, hmmm wait isn't dumbville over here, I'm clearly doing something wrong with my life and then I search for you and subscribe. You're the best and love your content and entrie catalog. Love from India. ❤

Postal 2 is just as much of a deconstruction as the first game, but while the first game is a deconstruction of violence in games, Postal 2 is a deconstruction of how the media and politicians think about violence in games, because in Postal 2, you do not have to commit a single violent action, you only have to do chores and yet the game is seen as far more controversial than the art piece solely about killing people that was Postal 1, it says “this will get banned even though all of the worst things in it are purely what you do”, and it was banned by multiple governments. Postal 2 is exactly what everyone who tried to ban Postal 1, said Postal 1 was.

Funny enough, there’s now a mod where you can add Dude as a companion in New Vegas. It’s still in it’s early stages, but I’d say it’s a worthy add-on for Postal 2.

It’s kinda funny when you think about the fact that the player character of NV is a Courier, so it’s a *Postal* Dude/Gal going Postal
